When we suffer soul loss we can feel a
deep void within us and we may experience emotions
such as anger, depression, anxiety, and fear. These
behaviors can become habitual addictions, and can
negatively affect us emotionally,
physically, mentally and spiritually. Students will
work in treating two of the most popular
ailment in Peruvian Shamanic Medicine such:
The "Susto" (Fright) and "Chukaque" (deep depression
state). In this workshop student will interpret the
''Illumination'' temple korikancha on the East
direction.
Mesa Carrier Shaman Counselor
Second workshop - The shaman plays the
role of healer in shamanic societies; shamans gain knowledge and power by
traversing the axis mundi and bringing back knowledge from the heavens. Even
in western society, this ancient practice of healing is referenced by the
use of the caduceus as the symbol of medicine. Oftentimes the shaman has, or
acquires, one or more familiar helping entities in the spirit world; these
are often spirits in animal form, spirits of healing plants or (sometimes)
those of departed shamans. In many shamanic societies, magic, magical force,
and knowledge are all denoted by one word, such as the Quechua term yachay. Mesa is the vortex of energy or altar that shaman
uses to interact with the visionary world with the
world of spirits. The shaman's "Mesa" can be
composed by objects or "tools" conceived by superior
spirits or Apus during a spiritual journey, or by
objects with which the shaman feels a special
connection. These objects can be, crystals, flower
water, rattles, feathers, bells, etc, which
are purified with "Llausas" (breath of
energy) which the shaman previously
prepares. Creating our mesa is a way of
using our visionary ability, magic and
intuition.
