Divination: Discovering Your Inner Truth

True divination is the art of providing meaningful information without interpretation, prediction or instruction.  The client is provided with the information from Spirit, and is assisted with the process of finding the meaning.

This work can be very useful in any time of transition or life decision – and these times are always at hand.

Ed’s readings are assisted by the medicine stones of the Andean “Mesa,” leaf readings through the spirit of the Coca Mama (an Andean tradition).  A technique of reading the client’s pulse to determine the condition of the Luminous Energy Field is often appropriate as well.

Divination is often combined with personal healing work.  Sessions generally last 30-60 minutes and are priced the same as healing work.

Healing that All can Afford

It is always such an honor to be trusted with a piece of a client’s healing journey.  In the spirit of right relationship, I return that trust with a range of payment options designed to make personal healing affordable for all.

I ask only that you compensate me for my work with what you can afford, and offer these options.  For regular sessions, I ask that you pay what you can within a scale from  $50-80 per hour.

The Hummingbird Path: Shamanic Training Group Forming for Summer 2011

Ed and Beverly believe that a shaman lives within each of us.

In this program you will do the deepest personal healing you’ve ever experienced. You’ll step into the lineage of the Andean “Mesa” bundle and learn to perform ceremony, healings and divination in the tradition of the Q’ero medicine men and women of Peru.

The “Hummingbird Path” is a way of living consciously through our hearts and cultivating “right relationship” with all that we encounter. It is the way of the medicine men and women of the Andes, who have given us stewardship of their teachings and rituals so that we might begin to remember the peace and connection within us and mirror these gifts into the world.

This safe and life-changing training is not for everyone. It is a commitment to BE the medicine in your own unique and beautiful way.  It is a commitment to look within at the familiar and comfortable belief systems that hold you back. It is a commitment to serve the other class members in their journey as well.

The work will be a series of sweet and challenging multi-day workshops and will include a special private day with a Q’ero shaman.

The dates and details will be announced soon. Please contact Ed for more information.

Andean Spiritual Arts & Your Personal Beliefs

This website has nothing to do with your spiritual path. It DOES pertain to the epic journey of your soul. This means looking inside at your own perceptions of yourself, your environment and beyond, and consciously choosing wholeness and unlimited possibility on that journey.

The healing work of the Andean “paqos,” and other indigenous cultures, while originating in belief systems unique to these cultures, truly transcend these belief systems. The work focuses on our own experiences and on the ancient truths common to cultures and religion throughout the world and spanning thousands of years.

The Q’ero elders of Peru, with whom I have sat in ceremony many times, practice the ancient spiritual ways, yet celebrate Christianity as well. They understand that we all view Great Spirit in our own way and call the unnamable one by many names. For the Q’ero, and for me, what’s important is an open heart, and experience of life through what they call “munay” (unconditional love) and “ayni” (right relationship).

If you can open your heart and wish to live in right relationship with all that is, the energy work I offer can be of great help. I invite you to explore with me.

Return from a Pilgrimage

I had the wonderful privilege to spend two weeks in Peru during August, traveling with a group of energy workers from the US, Ireland, Holland and Canada as well as four incredible Andean “paqos” from the Q’ero community.  Paqo is the word for a shaman or medicine person in that culture, and is a term of respect for those who do the holy work of Mother Earth (Pachamama), the Mountain Spirits (Apus) and the One Creator God (Wirachocha).

These paqos (Don Francisco Chura Flores, his wife Dona Juanita, son Ricardo and nephew/apprentice Luis) embody the concepts of unconditional love (munay) and right relationship (ayni) with all that is, and truly walk the path of personal power through their humble gratitude and caring. They also hold tremendous healing power in their sweet energy.  It was a beautiful journey of both personal healing and increasing depth of my own abilities on the Medicine Path.

On a practical note, I’ll be posting some photos of the trip and have brought back some weavings and sacred items which will be available for sale to clients and students.

I return to Oregon in utmost gratitude to all who helped to make this possible, and especially to Beverly, whose vision for my experience and support for it has been amazing!

Assisting those seeking inner peace and joy to remember their essential self, that they may fully embrace life and all its delicious surprises.

Our “essential self” is always there.  For some of us it’s hidden in our core, a distant memory or perhaps totally invisible.  It hides below layers of cultural and family patterns, of emotions and reactions we have learned through our experiences, and of our own ego, which seeks to identify us by those learned patterns.

This hidden “self” is the one that can laugh like a child.  It can dream without limits.  It loves life so much that every day is an epic journey. This self is the Soul Self.  It sees clearly, yet doesn’t need all the answers.  It knows Earth and Spirit intimately and know it IS both of them.

Your essential self lies within you, waiting to be remembered.

A beautiful world lies around you, waiting to be experienced.

Are you ready?

“Honor Yourself and all of Creation”

The Andean shamans of Peru explain that they have no Christ, no Buddha, and no Moses who says, “Follow my footsteps.”  These medicine men and women say, “Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers, the trees and the rocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, and your brothers and sisters. Honor Pachamama (the Earth) and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all of creation.”   Shamans use examples from nature in the form of archetypes to teach the universal truths of Spirit and Life.

Central to shamanic healing is the Luminous Energy Field  (LEF) that surrounds our physical body and informs our body in the same way that the energy field of a magnet organizes iron filings on a piece of glass.  This “light body” informs our cells in the same way that our genes do. Our LEF contains imprints of our childhood, our dreams, and even previous lives, and can be used to create psychosomatic health (mental, emotional and sometimes even physical) in the same way that psychosomatic illness manifests. Shamans learn to read the LEF and the chakra system and to restore their function and harmony.

It is said, “one can be cured but not healed, and one can be healed and not cured.” A wound that is considered “cured” may reappear if real healing hasn’t occurred. It is Beverly and Eddie’s intent, through the tradition of the Q’ero shamanic lineage, to heal the cause of a wound, not just to cure its effects.  In that way, the wound may also be cured, and its imprint does not cause further pain.
