Ashtara's Adventures

Fascinating Sacred Sites of Peru
Ashtara xxx - Saturday, October 04, 2008
Adventures abound in this mystical and fascinating land.   If you are interested in pre-history and the spiritual evolution of humanity through the many different cultures then this country provides many answers.  However it will also leave you thirsting for more. Historic details cannot be obtained through written information as the Inca and pre-Inca civilizations used an interesting and involved knotting system to keep their records. These were mostly all burned by the Spanish invasion in the early 1500’s.   These highly evolved people did, however, pass valuable information down through the Ages via myth and story telling, as did many other indigenous civilizations. Many researchers have proven that much of what is written in their myths is based on truth.

There is another way to access this ancient knowledge. For those tuned in to a different and higher frequency, that is a result of regular and dedicated long-term meditation and conscious healing of old psychological wounds, the sacred sites in Peru assist the remembering of a great deal of both personal and collective history. It is not uncommon to receive transmissions from higher dimensions in these sacred places.

The energy fields of the sacred sites are storehouses of valuable information and when one is coded to a particular vibratory frequency the knowledge is accessed easily.  As this occurs one’s heart is awakened to a sensation of expansion and the feeling of love and peace. Powerful emotions, coming from a deep place within, can be experienced as one begins to re-member.  People often feel as if they have come home.   A spiritual awakening has taken place and one that will never be forgotten.    

When standing in front of some of the huge awesome stone structures that comprise many of the sacred sites in Peru and Bolivia you will wonder at the amazing minds and the advanced technology used, still unknown today, to build these impressive temples. Who were this highly advanced civilization that constructed these sites and why did they do it?  

For the eight years I have been regularly travelling to this country much knowledge has been revealed at the sacred sites, not only to me but also to many people in my discovery groups.   Through these memories I have been able to formulate an understanding of the important spiritual evolutionary role played by the ancient indigenous people of this land. I have been so lucky to have the services of my Quechua (the name given to the indigenous Indians) tour guide and spiritual son, Fredy Conde.  Fredy is as fascinated as I am about the ancient history and between us we have been able to piece together an amazing lineage. As we visit a newly discovered sacred site the information provided fills in many of the gaps to our understanding. We teach our findings, and the spirituality of this land, to the groups participating in our Andean Adventure journeys.

For those interested in accelerating your spiritual journey to the light of higher consciousness you can be assured these journeys to the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia will activate and accelerate you amazingly.   'Click Here' to find more information about my next Andean adventure.

AYNI, The Practise of Recriprosity
Ashtara xxx - Tuesday, September 23, 2008
The ancient practice of Ayni is still very prevalent in the high Andean mountain areas of Peru and Bolivia.   This is an ancient spiritual practice that has endured for thousands of years.   The indigenous people believe that, to experience a rich, nourishing, abundant and fulfilling life the expression of gratitude and appreciation for all we experience in life is to be expressed daily.  When one gives this love and appreciation with sincerity the etheric channels are then open to receive.   This is Ayni.  It is a practice of reciprocity.

The indigenous Indians of this land believe that each of the mountains, lakes, four directions, elements and sacred places have a guardian spirit. They offer gifts to the Spirit of these places with great reverence, humility and love.  It is a heart-warming experience to take part in these ancient ceremonies and to experience the acceleration of energy flow.

One of the greatest gifts of love and appreciation they offer is to Pacchamama, a name they give to Mother Earth, because, without her offerings of food, shelter, water and beauty we would not be able to survive.

I have just returned from a five day annual international Gathering of Elders in Charazani, a remote village in the highlands of Bolivia. At this Gathering was an amazing blending of cultures. Approximately 300 people attended the Gathering from about 20 different countries.   The small village was overloaded with pilgrims and the resources were limited.

Indigenous elders  from Mexico, USA, Gautamala, Eduador, Brazil, Argentina and many other South American countries gathered together to celebrate the uniting of the Eagle and the Condor, i.e. the North and South American indigenous cultures.  There was much Ayni present.

I was given the honor of  elder status at the Gathering, being asked to be part of the Council of Elders (Grandmothers and Grandfathers who carry much wisdom) and to attend Council meetings.
I felt incredibly privileged to be the only white person in this Council.

I will write more about my experiences at this Gathering within the next couple of days.
 
Blessings and love to all,
