Andean Cosmovision and Healing
If you are wondering, "Healing? For What?" Believe me, I get it. I'm not a new age person. But this isn't new at all; it's old, actually ancient, and it's transformed my life like I never expected. That's why I'm here to pass it on for your and all the world's health and harmony. So here ya go! I enjoy how science, especially quantum physics and molecular biology, are catching up to ancient wisdom and knowledge. For instance, clarify quantum announcing about one hundred years ago that at the basis of all that exists is vibrating energy - this includes our body. If Indigenous people of the high Andes were to hear this, they might reply, "Uh, yeah, we know." Relatively new technology to detect human energy fields may be of interest, too. Like the work of physicist, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, speaking to pre and post treatment energy fields detected by his much studied device. Well, given the fact that science is often trying to discover and prove that which already is, that's enough talk about it. It isn't even close to the definer of reality.
Let's jump in. Heavy energy (see below) is real and creates imbalance and disharmony in our body and lives. It's not just about our thinking. Grief, trauma, loss, fear, etc., for instance, are common experiences. We can contribute to moving through them in healthy ways by tending to the heavy energy produced. Problems like recycling stress, frustration, anger, nightmares, agitation, impatience, and tension are examples of symptoms caused by heavy energy, not to mention resulting bodily soreness and pain, headaches, stomach problems. When enough heavy energy, or hucha, gathers to work into the body, it can create disease (from dis-ease, or disharmony and imbalance). Even more, for our lifestyle and worldview, it can close the heart, dampen awareness of wisdom and intuition that prompts us to wholeness, and make our way of being in the world conflictive and (self) destructive, furthering pain and suffering.

The following are helpful explanations for clarity, understanding, and opening.
Ayni is one of the primary life principles for the indigenous people of the Andes, meaning "For you today, for me tomorrow.) It is the practice of living in relational mutuality and reciprocity, which is the way of harmony, healing and health to individuals, the more than human world, and all of Pachamama.
Pachamama is the living, Spirit-soaked earth and universe and all the universes and each and every molecule in all space and time and it is your particular location. To grasp that Spirit-soaked Pachamama loves you is life changing. To move beyond to embodying intimate and relational connection is know abundant life.
Kawsay is the life-giving, loving, light energy that flows through all the universe and each molecule of it. Quantum physics has caught up to this ancient knowledge as it joins to proclaim that at the base of all is vibrating energy. Andean Cosmovision knows that this living energy is through all mountains, rivers, bodily molecules. Humans are meant to live in harmony with Spirit and the expression of Kawsay, enjoying balance, joy, community, and more. That said, humans, and only humans, create "Hucha," or heavy energy.
Heavy energy (Hucha in Quechua) collects at the edges of the body, bringing imbalance. It can come from lot of "normal" experiences that bring stress, fear, shock, frustration, pain, conflict, and so on. Living with the affects of these can cause heavy energy, too. For instance, anxiety may be caused by and contribute to heavy energy. Much may be unavoidable, so this is not an invitation to view and judge as "bad" or "good;" rather, it is important for awareness of how heavy energy may build to bring imbalance that is not only to caused by our mind and patterns of thinking. Cleansing can bring relief, including relief to our mind.

Don Alejandro and his family practice the pure, unadulterated nature-based wisdom, healing techniques, and ceremonial ways past down from their ancestors. This is the family lineage that I am initiated into, and it is from them that I have experienced healing and new ways of knowing and being. I am happy to offer their wisdom, worldview (Cosmovision), and healing practices to you for healing and greater harmony that raise your baseline of joy, contentment, love, and happiness, and the harmony of the human family and Pachamama.
