Ayni, or Reciprocity and Right Relationship with All

In Joan Parisi Wilcox's book, The Masters of the Living Energy, she writes that Andean shaman (paqo) Juan Nunez del Prado says, "Our work as humans is to have a complete life, to have a real relationship with the Pachamama, with Mother Earth, to have a real relationship with everything in the world, with everything. We can have a "real" relationship with everything because everything, including ourselves, has kawsay-the vital, animating energy of existence." According to Juan, not only the trees, rivers, and mountains have kawsay, but even the Empire State Building has its own power. The problem is how to establish a good relationship with that person, place, or object.

Power is only power according to Juan. You can do good things or you can do bad things with power. But if you want to do good things in your life and in the lives of those around you, you must have power. He says that you must decide how to use it not based on your ability to use it, but because you follow a moral rule that tells you not do it. There are some people who are prevented from acting not because of their morals but because they do not have the power to do it. The thing is to have the power to do everything! Then the next thing is to have the personal morals to know how to use or not use your power. We are looking for power when we try to make a connection with the living energy.

According to Fredy "Puma" Quispe Singona, words are spirits with energy also. Every word you speak or write becomes a being, with action and energy. According to how you choose to speak, you are choosing how you will be surrounded by these beings. Also, not all of our intentions are manifested in our words. Some are beyond our words and are resonated energy beings.

Please be respectful and mindful of the spirit beings you invite into our universe and into this blog.

Mesa Bundle

Mesa Bundle

According to Joan Parisi Wilcox, a mesa is a Peruvian Q'ero paqo's primary tool. A mesa is a bundle of power objects that connects Andean paqo's to their ancestors, the sacred sites, and their helping spirits, especially the apus, or the spirits of the sacred mountains of Peru The mesa is not the shaman's, or paqo's, power, but it symbolizes his/her power.

In Joan's book, Fredy "Puma" Quispe Singona explains many Q'ero teachings. He states that the mesa is the fire burning in our hearts. The mesa carrier is connected to other mesa carriers. This path is about respect and integrity. The mesa is connected to your ancestors and your lineage. In Peru, the apus, the spirits of the land, are the sacred mountains. Your apu is the spirit of the land near where you were born and came into this world.

Fredy "Puma" Quispe Singona says, "Now why is it called "mesa?" Mesa means table is Spanish. Serious decisions are made around a table. Important things take place around a table. It is very important that your mesa become a powerful circle of stones, crystals, and other symbols of your power. All of your power objects are wrapped in a beautiful cloth to make a bundle. Whatever you put in your mesa, only put it in if you have a strong "Yes!" about it.

We connect to the ley lines of energy through the mesa. Through these ley lines, or seques, we activate our mesa and get connected to all the other mesas. Remember that you are always working with a network-between communities, families members, countries, continents. Fredy "Puma" says to remember that you are never alone as a paqo.

Living Energy Between the Worlds


Jaguar recently showed me in a dream that I was not truly living within both worlds of the physical and spiritual energies.

While my daughter was living in the physical world, she and I had connections through the seques, or ley lines.  We knew when each of us was thinking about the other and many times what we were thinking. We would each pick up the phone and dial. Without a phone ring, we were connected and could hear each other. And we still have a similar connection even after her passing into the spiritual world.  We resonate a knowing kind of communication. So, I know we do not die.  Only our physical body dies. Our spirits go on to their next endeavors.

Early in the morning before my dog was to go to the vet for surgery, I was apparently apprehensive about how he would fare during the surgery later that day.  I dreamed that I was walking in a wilderness of sorts.  A kitten showed up and both of my dogs rushed to friendly sniff, meet and play with the kitten like they do with the cats at their kennel. I was concerned about the kitten's welfare. Jaguar showed up, picked up the kitten by the neck and placed it behind her.  Jaguar then swiftly gashed my dog on the side of the stomach and somehow injured his leg. He was whimpering and  limping about.  My other dog was behind some things, laid out sleeping like she always does after playing. She didn't have a scratch or a care in the world. Then Jaguar looked at me and resonated the communication that I still feared losing the ones that I loved even though I know perfectly well that they will always be connected with me.

The lesson I understood was to live fully without worry, without fear of losing, and without fear of abandonment. Truly live connected to the living energy by knowing it and acknowledging that knowing.
