In 1996 Joan Parisi Wilcox traveled to the Andes and was able to record the mysteries of \u003ci\u003ekawsay\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003epacha, \u003c\/i\u003e the multidimensional world of living energy, through more than 40 hours of intensive interviews with six Q'ero \u003ci\u003epaqos, \u003c\/i\u003e masters of the ancient spiritual traditions of Peru. \u003cbr\u003eThe Q'ero are known for having preserved the Inca spiritual tradition more purely than any other indigenous population in the Andes. The in-depth interviews presented in this book recount the direct words of these masters so readers can discover for themselves the mind and heart space of these people. Four new chapters of this revised edition focus on the work of the \u003ci\u003emesa, \u003c\/i\u003e the Andean form of a spiritual medicine bundle, and its use as a conduit for the healing energies of nature. The mesa is called the \"heart's fire\" because it represents the finest energy--the energy of compassion--that a paqo cultivates while walking the sacred path. Wilcox provides instructions on how to make, activate, and work with a mesa, as well as other practical exercises showing how we can use the power of the Andean spiritual tradition in our own lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inner Traditions International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594770128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 5.96w x 0.89d","brand":"Joan Parisi Wilcox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661114142876,"sku":"9781594770128","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bfb7c87b-5fcd-4197-91b7-610744f7f4d7.jpg?v=1603898661","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/masters-of-the-living-energy-the-mystical-world-of-the-qero-of-peru-9781594770128","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
