Luminous Energy Field
(South on Inca Medicine Wheel)
- When the Shaman calls the Creator answers. In our intense changing technological times, our Luminous Energy Field (a matrix that surrounds our bodies and determines how the body heals) can be injured or imprinted with disease and negative karma. It is the Shaman's job to clean the client's Luminous Energy Field and bring the client back into balance. In this class you will start building your Shaman's tool box and Ayllu (family) as well as learn how to clean the Luminous Energy Field.

Extraction
(West on Inca Medicine Wheel)
Calling in the Spirits sometimes intrusive energies attach themselves to the individual's Luminous Energy Field. Through a process of extraction these energies can be removed as well as redirected. It is here that the apprentice learns to address adverse entities and spirits.

Soul Retrieval
(North on Inca Medicine Wheel)
Possibly at some time in a person's life an intense trauma occurred (usually during childhood) at which time the individual loses a piece of their soul. The Shaman helps the individual in retrieving that piece and at the same time opens the path to rewrite the contract made, at that time; thus uncovering hidden gifts, and power animals. Soul Retrieval can accomplish in a few sessions what can take psychology years to achieve. It is here that the apprentice learns how to successfully conduct a soul retrieval.

Life and Death Rites
(East on Inca Medicine Wheel)
You will learn how to assist a client on their final journey. Also you will learn about the rites of passage that mark our lives into birth, adulthood, sage hood, as well as learning to manifest your vision for the globe and yourself.
