The
prophecies of the ancient Incas speak about the present – our present – as a
period of wondrous transformation, a time when humans will make a remarkable
difference in the world. They foretell of a new human appearing on Earth - a
person of wisdom and power, recognizing their true divine nature, living free
of fear and accepting stewardship for all creation. I witness from day-to-day
the awakening of more and more individuals who are seeking a path of
enlightenment. I believe these prophecies have begun to take place. The Munay-Ki
is the nine rites of initiation to become that person of wisdom and power.
These nine rites are common to all shamanic traditions even though they are
expressed in different forms and styles in different cultures. They originate
from the great initiations from the Hindus Valley which were brought to the
Americas by the first medicine men and women crossing the Baring Straits from
Siberia some 30,000 years ago. The
Munay-Ki rites are gifted or handed down from teacher to student; given to
those are ready and feel a calling for this initiation. It is an amazing
experience! The Rites of
the Munay-Ki transform and upgrade an individual’s luminous energy field. They
are energetic transmissions that heal the wounds of our past - our karmic and
genetic inheritance. These energetic transmissions re-inform our DNA, enabling us
to grow a new body - one that ages, heals, and dies differently. The Munay-Ki
is a summons to dream a new world into being. Adrianne “Dancing
Spirit”, a practicing Shaman and wonderful friend, transmitted these rites for
a group of five of us. She was educational and informative as she taught us
each of the rites – what each rite means and how it will impact our future. She
emphasized our connectedness to all other living things and the importance of
us taking care of our world and each other. She explained each initiation and
rite; the bands of protection and the planting of seeds of pure potential. She
taught us it would be up to us as to what we would do with it. During the
first four rites I could feel the energy and then felt a little light headed.
Then, during the Seers Rites, Adrianne bent down and whispered, close to my
ear, “You were my teacher”. I immediately began to softly cry. From the depths
of my spirit I already held this knowledge. I knew I was Shaman in at least two
past lives. The entire day of the rites I felt a tremendous energy between us.
It was more energy than what I usually felt. I felt a little headachy. But I
was happy we connected as we did because I’ve always been drawn to her and knew
we were somehow connected. Our time together was powerful, almost like sparks
flying between us. When she completed the Seers rites, I stood and turned to
her. She looked at me as though looking into my soul and with so much love I
could feel it coming at me in waves! She said “You were my Shaman, my teacher!
And you know that, don’t you?” I nodded and told her how I’d been feeling all
day. We hugged and cried together, hugs and tears of joy at being reunited. We
talked about how amazing it was that we met again in this life time. Now, how
COOL is THAT? We all met
again on two additional occasions to complete the rites. During the time
between these sessions I practiced the fire ceremony, pulling smoky fire into
each chakra and making statements such as “With fire I feed the Serpent,
growing this seed, feeding it well”. During our second meeting we did an
additional two rites and had to stop. The energy surge and the visions from these
rites were potent. I could see colors blazing in front of my closed eyes. The
energy was so strong we were all wiped out after the sixth rite. We sat for
some time in a mild stupor and Adrianne decided we would stop for the day. In our last
session we completed the remaining three rites. When Adrianne completed the
ninth rite with me, she leaned into me and laughing softly she said, “You are
so easy….it just happens with you.” I felt as though I were floating on air
after the rites were finished. I kept grounding myself and did some walking but
continued to feel light as a feather. I saw myself out on a high, wooded mesa,
in the dark of night, gathered with others around a fire. I was helping others,
channeling healing energy. The air was crisp but I felt warm and full of love. I
immersed myself in the feeling of that love and the vision, enjoying it. I
didn’t want to talk about it; I just wanted the feeling to sink into every cell
of my body, my spirit. We all lingered long enough that I began to feel normal
again before we left. The Munay-Ki
rites initiation seemed to make me feel calm in spirit and comfortable in my
power and knowledge. I began to feel confident with the things I’d learned over
the last few years. Then other things began to happen in the weeks following
our last gathering. One morning
after talking to Tina, a close friend who also took the rites, I had a “come to
Jesus” meeting with my ego. I was lying on the floor of my front room and I
began to speak to the Universe. “I get it. I understand. I must begin to care
for myself, my body as well as my mind. I will eat properly and trim down. I
will get more exercise. I will quit smoking.” I cried as I released what I had
been trying to run from. I knew in my heart I needed to be healthy to continue
to live well, without pain, without all the unneeded weight, without the breathing
difficulties. I laid on the floor for some time remembering back to the times
where these physical challenges were born. I forgave. I sent love. I forgave
and loved myself. I’d been down this road before. This time there was an
urgency, a sincerity. Afterward I felt
better. Unknown to me at that time there was more to face. I don’t know
if it was because of the Munay-Ki or a combination with the holidays coming on
that brought on depression for more than a week. At first I did nothing but
when the depression continued I began to take a natural supplement to help with
the depression. It didn’t seem to help even though it had always helped in the
past. I thought for sure it was the holidays and missing Jeff. I became angry
and with the anger I lamented my lost life. I hadn’t released grief for some
time. Memories flooded over me. My anger rose and tears of loss spilled down my
face. I lifted my head to the heavens and roared out, “I want to go back! I
want my wealth back! I want my Jeff back! I want my house back! Why can’t I
just go back to the good times, to a life I loved?” I let myself wallow in self
pity as I remembered my old life. As if Angel, my Reiki Master knew, she called
me as this was happening. I tried to cover up but it spilled out in questions.
I asked her if maybe it was okay to dwell on the past, to wish I was still there.
Then I told her what I’d been yelling at the Universe. Angel pointedly asked me
questions. “Who are you now? Tell me
what you have.” I told her, “OK, I have a good bed, I have furniture in my front
room, I have things around me I like…” Angel interrupted, “You’re describing
material things. Tell me what you have!”
I thought a moment and, a little humbled, I said “Me. I have me for the first time in my life. I
control my life and no one tells me what to do or when to do it.” I went on and
described the abundance in my life, the love that surrounds me and all the
inner change I’ve exerienced. After our talk I took more time to let sink in
what I just stated. I seemed to be through the crisis. And yet, there was still
more.
For several weeks I’d been waking up between 3
and 4 AM. Tina told me the numbers indicated I was being downloaded by the Archangels.
This continued during the weeks following the last of the Munay-Ki rites. One
morning, after waking up early once again, I laid there, just plain tired and
wishing to sleep in peace. I began to talk to the Universe, the Great Spirit
and stated out loud, “Okay, Okay, OKAY! I give up! I surrender! Whatever it is
that is being pushed at me, I accept it! I surrender, I accept.” I laid there
limp as a rag, weary of the fight, the frustration. As I spoke these words over
and over I began to envision what was in store for me. Oh yes, deep down in the
core of my being, I already knew. I am such a stubborn creature! Later that
morning, as I picked up around the house, I packed up a stack of books Tina
brought for me to read. I wouldn’t have time for these. They would have been
entertaining and perhaps enlightening however, these were not the books I
should be studying. I sat down and selected a few books on the internet and ordered
them. They were books about reading auras. What I had seen in the early morning hours was
a vision of me reading auras for others and incorporating aura reading into my
Reiki sessions as a tool. Once I recognized and voiced this, it seemed as
though relief washed over me. My depression immediately lifted and I was my old
joyful self again. It’s often
comical how true I am to the Gemini characteristics. Stubborn to a fault, I’d
been running from developing my gift of seeing auras. I’d run so fast that I’d
lost the ability to see colors. I blamed this on not being in the Lightworkers Center
location but in truth, I was denying something that will play a role in the growth
toward my highest potential and what I can offer to others. I believe
the Munay-Ki rites, the planting and feeding of the seeds of potential, had a
dramatic effect on making things happen more quickly and with a dedication to
accomplishing my goals. Yes, I would have eventually gotten there the long way
around; it was the Munay-Ki that sped up the process, forcing me to drop my
stubbornness and helping me to face my truth. Adrianne, my
dearest Teacher, my student of the past, I am in deepest appreciation to you.
The very first time we met, when you visited a Tai Chi class and sat next to
me, I knew we were connected and destined for something wonderful. I honor you,
Adrianne and am honored by your guidance, your knowledge and your love. Thank-you
once again for this amazing gift! Namaste! |
