​Munay- Ki Nine Rites Teacher’s Certificate

​"The Munay-Ki is your invitation to dream an entire new world into being." (Alberto Villoldo, Founder)

The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a period of great transformation, and foretell of a new human appearing on the planet – persons of wisdom and power who live free of fear and abide in their eternal nature, Homo luminous.

The Rites of the Munay-Ki transform and upgrade your luminous energy field. They are energetic transmissions that heal the wounds of the past-the karmic & genetic programs and beliefs you inherited.  They re-inform your DNA, enabling you to grow a new body that ages, heals, and dies differently.
 
Munay Ki is the name given to the series of ceremonies in which NINE RITES are exchanged as ‘energetic transmissions’ from person to person.
​
‘Munay’ is the Quechuan word for ‘love’ and ‘Ki’ is a reference to ‘power’, so as a whole the phrase refers to the power of the universal quality of Love. In receiving these rites (and also in learning to give them), we are reminded of what we have forgotten. We learn that we may be able to heal differently, to see differently, to source ourselves from archetypical energies that are in balance with all life; we reconnect with who we really are and who we are becoming.

Munay- Ki Training Description

• The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about this time as a period of great transformation, a time to make an extraordinary difference in the world. They foretell of a new human appearing on the planet – a person of wisdom and power who lives free of fear and abides in their eternal nature, accepting stewardship for all creation.

 

• The Munay-Ki are the nine rites of initiation to become a person of wisdom and power who has accepted the stewardship for all creation. The rites are common to all shamanic traditions, even though they are expressed in different forms and styles in various cultures. They derive from the great initiations from the Himalayas that were brought to the Americas by the first medicine men and women – the Earthkeepers of old.

 

• The Rites of the Munay-Ki transform and upgrade your luminous energy field. They are energetic transmissions that heal the wounds of the past – the karmic and genetic programs or beliefs you inherited.  They re-inform your DNA, enabling you to grow a new body that ages, heals, and dies differently.

 

• You will receive the following rites:  Healer’s Rite; The Bands of Power; Harmony Rite; Seer’s Rite; Daykeeper’s Rite; Wisdomkeeper’s Rite; Earthkeeper’s Rite; Starkeeper’s Rite and The Creator Rite. As you work with the germination of these rites and accept stewardship for all creation, you’ll be touched and blessed by angels.  Open yourself to the wisdom of the Earthkeepers, and all will be bestowed upon you.

Rite of the womb

​ The rite of the Womb is a very powerful loving energy transmission that will restore the natural balance of your  creative center. The  Rite of the Womb is a blessing of the Womb, our sacred place of creation.
Many women are still carrying the pain and resentment of their mothers, grandmothers and female ancestors. Some  feel the wounds  of past life or had traumatic experiences in this lifetime that block their joy and happiness and  prevent them from connecting with  their feminine power. The healing energy of this blessing will reactivate your  feminine power.The feminine spirit of the jungle reminds us of this simple and vital truth:

The womb is not a place to store fear and pain;
The womb is to create and give birth to life.

This lineage of women, through the jungle medicine, has given us the 13th rite of the Munay-Ki: The Rite of the Womb.  Once you  receive it, you share it with as many women as possible.
Let’s heal our womb; let’s heal our mother’s, sister’s, and daughter’s wombs. And in this way bring healing to our  Mother Earth.

The Rite of the Womb, 13th Rite of the Munay-Ki, is a contemporary ritual, birthed into being just last year by Marcela  Lobos, a  medicine woman initiated in the healing and spiritual traditions of the Amazon and the Andes. The Munay-Ki  are a series of rituals  brought to the West by Marcela’s husband, Dr. Alberto Villoldo, distilled from his work as a  medical anthropologist with the high  shamans of South America.

As Dr. Villoldo says, “Rites of passage and initiation have been practiced for millennia by all peoples in the Earth. The  rites of the  Munay-Ki are based on initiatory practices of the shamans of the Andes and the Amazon. They are stripped  of all trace of the  indigenous cultures they come from. I did this to respect the native traditions, and to avoid the idea  that persons from the West can  become traditional shamans or Indians.”

Dr. Villoldo brought 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki out of the jungle, so why is this newest rite the 13th and not the 10th?  Marcela explains,  “before the Rite of the Womb there were nine Munay-Ki rites. Though the rite of the womb is the  tenth rite to be given to us, it is a  feminine rite and does not need to follow linearity. The lineage that passed this rite  to us wants us to honor the thirteen moons of a  year, which are connected to the cycles of the womb.”
