My Knowledge
Paqowarmi
As a Paqowarmi of the Andean Tradition and teacher, I work directly with the mountains, the earth, the water, air, fire and all the elements around us. We create a working relationship with the unseen world in order by living in Ayni, or reciprocity. Energy is seen as light or dense, not good or bad. This is a way of living NOT a religion.
Curandera
Curanderos or healers were people who cured illnesses, with herbal treatments, ceremonies and sometimes massages to cleanse the spirit and heal illnesses. A healer is a person who heals the physical body through Spirit. A person learns to heal themselves by opening up to Spirit, for some God, the Universe and all that is.
Shaman
The shaman has special knowledge, outside established religions and acts alone. They can communicate with spirits, over which they have control whether good or "bad". Most shamans have practices similar to magic. Shamans are an intermediary between the natural and spiritual world, traveling between worlds in a trance state. Once in the spirit world, they contact them for help in healing.
Espiritista
An Espiritista is a Spiritist who acts as a medium with the world of the unseen, but according to indigenous healing systems acts as a person who can help resolve emotional problems and more.
