Chumpi Khuyas energy Stones

The khuyas energy stones, are stones used by a line of Andean shaman, who work with ñawis (chakras) and the energy structure called chumpi (power strips).

Every Ñawi and chumpi has an assigned corresponding energy stone, which are distinguished by their shape (for example, the number of sides, two three or four) or recorded or containing drawings, the total number of khuyas is usually five, seven or nine.

The ideal material from which they are made is red or black hematite ore, having high strength and magnetic properties such as glass and magnetism at the same time, they can be found in soapstone and alabaster (Huamanga Stone), which was easier to work with.

The khuyas are used to open ñawis (ñawi kichay), and to extract the savings (designed energy), and then close them; and to weave chumpis (chumpi away), i.e. fill the cracks and strengthen our energy body (poqpo) to create an energy envelope (walthay) that conveniently protect us.

Before using the stones for any purpose they must be cleaned, in the Andean world the stones have identity, vitality and energy and therefore deserve attention and even intangible affection. In this regard the khuyas stones come alive; there are ways to purify them.

For example:

* Let them stand in the light of the full moon, to clean and to recharge them with energy (Sami energy).

* Allow drops of tap water, from the bath or shower.

* Leave cardboard wrapped in letter or in the refrigerator overnight, the cold has a purifying power.

* Let the stones stand at dawn (at sunrise), for an hour.

While this is being done, you can meditate and visualize different ways of channeling the energy that falls on the stones, accepting the Sami energy (pure energy) as an everyday routine.

For those familiar with the practice of reiki, which is meditation and guided visualizations, there is a psychic form that can be applied to the stones, when you have cleaned them and in a meditational position, the stones are held with both hands, and then visualize the above techniques in a mental and energetic way, this method is only possible if the stones have been previously purified by their owner, physically discharging any gravitational force that they may contain.

If we work with an Andean table or (misha) or other power objects, stones are efficient channels for transmitting refined energy, you can even charge other stones for massage or energy work once our khuyas are operational.

The khuyas are only interested in their owner, and the combined affect he receives, in this regard and is not recommended to use the khuyas outside.

Chumpi stones (sometimes called Apu Stones) are healing stones from the Peruvian Andes. These stones are worked with for clearing the energy centers, protective work, and grounding work.

“Chumpi” is a Quechua word that means “belt”. This refers to the stones use in administering what is called “The Bands of Power” ceremony. The Bands of Power are protective rings or fields of energy that surround a person. They are each linked to an energy center and act to seal a person’s energy field and ward off harmful energies that would normally find their way through our natural energetic defenses.

The word “Apu” is the Quechua word for “mountain” and refers to the stones’ link to the Sacred Mountains. Each stone is linked to a Sacred Mountain and carries the energy of that mountain with it. When the Chumpi Stones are placed upon a person we can wake up the energy of the mountains as well, which enables a person to ground and anchor themselves within their own power. They are then able to sit within themself “as a mountain sits”… firm, strong, and self-empowered.

The Chumpi Stones are also worked with to open, clear, and empower a person’s energy centers. Just as our physical body has different organs that maintain different life functions, our energetic body has energy centers (sometimes called chakras) which also maintain different life functions- but on an energetic level. Sometimes these energy centers become blocked, closed, or weakened. The Chumpis can draw out dense energy and blockages as well as open them and balance their flow.

The Chumpi Stones that we work with in our practice come from the Sacred Valley region of the Cusco Peruvian Andes. They are made of Marble- Like stone and were hand carved by the shamans from that region. These Chumpis were also blessed to us by a Q’ero (traditional Andean shaman). They are powerful tools for healing.

Chumpi Stones:The Stones hold the keys to the cosmology of the Inca culture and have  the power to generate a web of connection  with the elements of creations; Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and pure spirit.
