On hearing about these 'rites' at a workshop run by Alberto Villoldo on Peruvian Shamanism, I instantly had a connection with them and wanted to receive the transmissions. In fact, at two completely different periods in my life, I had been gifted the same book, written about these Peruvian Shamans (Q'eros). In July '09 I had the opportunity to travel to Peru and found a man who transmitted these rites to me in Cuzco. This led me to meeting and receiving the rites from the Q'eros themselves in traditional ceremonial sites in the Sacred Valley that would have been used in this way for hundreds of years. It was a truly humbling experience. I have been given the teachings and permission to pass these rites on. Any time I have passed on these rites, as well as being a conduit for the giving, I have received so much because it connects one to a powerful lineage of wisdom keepers and healers. I look forward to continuing to work with these transmissions so that other people can receive the same benefits.

Overview
The Munay-Ki are the Rites of the Shaman's Path of the Q'ero nation, the descendants of the Inca, the indigenous people of the holy mountains of the Andes in Peru. Traditionally, one must spend many years in sacred study before and between receiving these Initiatory Rites. The Elders believe that we are at a critical juncture in human history and that these Rites need to be transmitted to as many people as possible.
The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet – one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human. They are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions. The ninth rite, the ‘Creator Rite’ was transmitted for the first time in the summer of 2006 at the Holy Mountains in the Andes. The nine initiations of the Munay-Ki have only been available until recently to the high wisdom keepers of the Americas. These Rites are given as the next step in the evolution of humanity; to realign and attune our neuropathways and truly shift human consciousness.
History
According to Alberto Villoldo (www.munay-ki.org), Munay-Ki comes from a Quechua word that means ‘I love you.’ As you experience the Munay-Ki, you’ll feel the presence and sense the wisdom of these luminous ones who have broken out of linear time and now dwell in sacred time, in infinity, free from the grip of karma and rebirth. The Munay-Ki will clear your luminous energy field (LEF) of the psychic sludge left by past traumas. As you raise your level of vibration, these luminous beings will come to you and guide you. Connect with them, and you’ll be able to recall stories that you never experienced directly, but that are now yours.
