Book Description
The teachings and practices in this book are a guide into a very easy and safe journey into the magical, transcendental and Spiritual meaning and realization of a more complete, healthy and satisfying life, as well as freedom from inner and outer restrictions. The book spares the need of retiring to the mountains for prolonged retreats, or years of meditations in the lotus posture, or hours of walking or acting in mindfulness. It will also spare you from any danger through the misuse of "master plants" or the need to spend thousands of dollars travelling to strange, faraway places, in the jungle, in search for a real native shaman, or a Priest of Enlightenment. The book contains the "Sacred Wisdom of the Andes" as was given early in the life of the author, Dr. Rod Fuentes, by Don Joaquín, a master of ancient wisdom and holder of the spiritual power of the Andes Mountains, in Rari, Chile. Don Joaquín was an expert in the "creation of realities" and the use of the "haway," which in the Quechua language means "offerings" for the Sacred Spirits of the mountains and to Mother Pachamama, the feminine aspect of the Supreme Being, and the creator and sustainer of the Universe. Rod was initiated by Don Joaquín into the Andean Codes -the Sacred Wisdom of the Andes- which is based on the 4 levels of Consciousness that, when they are taught, all human beings have the skill to naturally develop. These Andean Codes are the keys to a complete life of success and bliss and are the millenarian quantum teachings that can be used to create our own outer reality. The author of this book became a disciple of this legendary master and "guardian of wisdom" until his death in 1982. The most essential teachings, that he received from Don Joaquín, are contained in this extraordinary book.A time will come for humanity, as said many times by Don Joaquín, when this sacred knowledge of the Andes must be transmitted to the greatest number of human beings, without distinction, throughout the world.This book, "From Ayahuasca To Andean Gratitude," shows everyone how to get lasting results in your life through very easy and quick methods that require only a few minutes each day of your time.

Andean Meltdown

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Andean Meltdown examines how climate change and its consequences for Peru's glaciers are affecting the country's water supply and impacting Andean society and culture in unprecedented ways. Drawing on forty years of extensive research, relationship building, and community engagement in Peru, Karsten Paerregaard provides an ethnographic exploration of Andean ritual practices and performances in the context of an altered climate. By documenting Andean peoples' responses to rapid glacier retreat and urgent water shortages, Paerregaard considers the myriad ways climate change intersects with environmental, social, and political change. A pathbreaking contribution to cultural anthropology and environmental humanities, Andean Meltdown challenges prevailing theoretical thinking about the culture-nature nexus and offers a new perspective on Andean peoples' understanding of their role as agents in the shifting relationship between humans and nonhumans.

Ayahuasca
Author: Joan Parisi Wilcox
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594775648
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
A comprehensive autobiographical account of the transforming experiences possible with ayahuasca • Reveals the protocols of a traditional ayahuasca retreat and the importance of its ritual diet, isolation, and sacred songs • Relates an extensive personal account of the traditional indigenous use of ayahuasca for healing and revelation Ayahuasca: The Visionary and Healing Powers of the Vine of the Soul is an autobiographical account of the author’s work with ayahuasca, a potent and sacred plant brew of the Amazon region that is known for its extraordinary visionary and healing powers. As she learned from her experience, with the help of ayahuasca we are able to grasp our paradoxical nature, the first step to acceptance of ourselves in both our glorious and dark aspects. Ayahuasca teaches us how to release the illusions we hold about ourselves and makes it possible to integrate our many diverse aspects to acquire our true power. This book reveals the ritual protocols that must be followed prior to partaking of ayahuasca, including the traditional preparatory “diet”--which requires enduring austere conditions, isolation, and only small amounts of bland food before receiving the powers of the plant spirit from an ayahuasquero, a healing master--and the sacred songs, icaros, that are sung when imbibing the substance. Although the use of ayahuasca is growing among “underground” spiritual seekers and through the burgeoning ayahuasca tourism trade in South America, few of its seekers understand how it is used traditionally and the importance of the rituals the indigenous people follow. With this book, the author hopes to restore the importance of these indigenous practices so that we may truly understand all the gifts of ayahuasca.
