What is a Medicine Wheel?
The Medicine Wheel is a circle of stones that represents the circular nature of the cycles of the universe, of our Earth Mother, and the cycles in our own lives and our lifetimes. It also represents the Oneness, unity of everything.
 
What is the Teaching (Medicine) of the Wheel?
The “Medicine” of the Medicine Wheel is Oneness. Indigenous peoples see no difference between people and the world. For them, everything on Earth is Sacred and has Spirit. They feel and live their lives in that inseparable interconnectedness with nature and therefore refer to all forms in nature as their relatives, stone people, plant people, animal people, and people people.
The Medicine of this interconnectedness is the foundation of the Medicine Wheel.
 
Medicine Wheels are empowering vortexes of energy that spirals through the stones. Through that spiral, we are invited to connect to the wisdom of the Universe above us, Earth Mother below us, and all her children, stone, plant, and animal families in each of the cardinal directions, including the direction within.
​​​
Each stone in the Wheel is connected to a stone, plant, and animal relative, and their qualities. Through the wisdom of these archetypes, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Each direction offers us tools and practices for healing of our physical body, our mind and emotions, our Soul, and our energy field.
By journeying around the Wheel, we heal our physical body, our mind and emotions, our Soul, and our energy field. We release and remove the defenses that were built over lifetimes and remember who we are in our true essence that is always in unity, in Oneness.
 

The Journey starts by building the Medicine Wheel and inviting the Guardians and Keepers of the Directions to join us in this journey and cocreate health, beauty, and ayni!

Each Direction of the Medicine Wheel offers wisdom and teachings (medicine) that help us in

self-discovery, personal healing, and growth. The wisdom of the Directions also invites us to practice our new skills through building a shamans altar (Mesa) with which we are called and empowered to bring this wisdom to others.​​

What is the Wisdom and the Medicine of Each Direction?

With the wisdom of the SOUTH, we discover our core wounds and stories built around them. We understand that it is the wounded parts of ourselves that hold on to those stories that over time become our core beliefs about ourselves and about the world. With the helpers of the South direction, we learn practices that help us support those parts of ourselves to release the old stories. We change our core beliefs by reprogramming our brain into a new, healthy story. And we clear our energy field from the imprints of the old stories and install new, healthy and light stories into our field.

In the WEST, we discover that parts of ourselves are hidden in our subconscious mind, the shadow from our conscious mind. They are often hidden because we are ashamed or afraid of them or not even aware of them. We understand that these parts of our Soul might be part of the collective shadow of humanity or the shadow of our ancestors that keep us locked in pain and suffering. We learn practices that help us notice and separate from the collective shadow. We heal our ancestral shadows, for ourselves, for our ancestors, and for our children and ourchildrens children. And we clear intrusive energies that feed us old, painful information from our energy field.

In the NORTH, we understand that all the wisdom of the Universe is available to us, we just have to listen. We understand that for listening we need to be still, especially our mind. We understand that we are the creators of our reality, and therefore we choose who we want to be at each moment. We learn how to choose beauty in all our relationships, including relationship with ourselves. We learn the tools that bring us into stillness, including journeying into our subconscious to retrieve parts of ourselves that separated from our Soul in moments of trauma. Reuniting with these parts of ourselves brings us into wholeness and peace of our Soul.

In the EAST, we master understanding that our reality is our own creation and that everyone in our reality is simply a projection of our own wounds and stories. No one can do anything to us, take anything from us, or affect us in any way, because we know that everything that activates us is simply an opportunity to discover what we can heal within us. We learn the Great Death Rites and how to help everyonetransition in peace. We learn the practices of retrieving our highest destiny, of freeing ourselves of all attachments, and consciously creating our own reality and who we wish to be in the NOW.

The wisdom of the Wheel helps us understand our beliefs, our emotions, and our actions.

When we understand, we can choose what we think, and how we feel and act in each moment!

Your Journey will also be supported by the gifts of the Munay-Ki Rites, the body of wisdom that Dr. Alberto Villoldo received from his mentors from Peru, that he modified and adapted to modern way of learning and healing.
