‘Munay-Ki’ translates to the energy of love and will.
The 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki are Shamanic Rites of Initiation; the transmissions of each Rite originally received by various Shamans upon Sacred Peruvian land, at sites within the Andean Mountains and the Amazon Jungle.
Receiving the Rites are akin to awakening, activating, and growing the pulse of life within oneself, nourishing and strengthening the heart and will of those that feel called to receive.
Over time I’ve come to know that receiving these Rites are not about following one medicine path or shamanic lineage, though about connecting with the natural world all around you, for the benefit of your evolution during your time here on Mother Earth, as a co-creator of life.
I’d read of such a connection to Nature and Spirit but I hadn’t felt them until receiving the Rites of the Munay-Ki

For those where the ancestral line to grandmother and grandfather energy has been broken (growing up without grandparents, or wisdom of your personal lineage has been fractured, lost, or unavailable to you) I’ve found reconnecting with the loving wise energies of the grandmothers and grandfathers during the Day Keepers and Wisdom Keepers Rites to be particularly powerful and potent for awakening personal transformation and wholeness.
I share these Rites with the intention they assist you to awaken your power from within.

Origins of the 9 Rites of The Munay-Ki
The rites of the Munay-Ki are based on initiation practices of the Inka and pre-Inkan Shamans of the Andes and the Amazon.
Each rite was received and cultivated in various regions by the indigenous Q’ero people of Peru, and was received collectively by Alberto Villoldo, an anthropologist who worked extensively with the High Shamans of the Amazon and The Andes.
With permission, he brought the 9 Rites of The Munay-Ki to the western world.
By receiving all 9 Rites of The Munay-Ki, you are initiated into a lineage of Earth Keepers; and if you allow yourself to open to it, gain access to wisdom of the lineage, which dates back 100,000 years.
As you receive the Rites, the process of softening and humbling begins, as your heart and body opens through connection to sacred work, Mother Earth, the Mountains, and the transmission of each of the 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki.
The flow-on effects of the medicine of these Rites, and how they transform you, is very personal.
The origins of each Rite are mentioned beneath the description below.
The 9 Rites of The Munay-Ki
The 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki build upon each other in three categories:
- The Foundation Rites
- The Lineage Rites
- The Rites to Come
The Foundation Rites
The Foundation Rites are offered first, as they provide the basis of illumination and awakening from which the following rites are built upon.
Rite #1: The Healer Rite
The Healer Rite awakens and strengthens the healer within you, and connects you with a lineage of ancient wise teachers from the past, to assist you with your personal transformation. This Rite awakens the healing power within your hands; powerful energy centers strongly connected with your Heart Chakra, and your ability to give and receive in equal harmony throughout your life.
This helps to awaken the quality of Ayni (reciprocity) within your life, a core principle of the Munay-Ki.
There is tremendous spiritual assistance available, and these luminous ones work with us in our sleep to heal the wounds of the past, and of our ancestors.
The Healers Rite is known as the Hampe blessing and comes from the highland Q’ero people.
Rite #2: Bands of Power Rite
When you receive the Bands of Power Rite, five luminous belts of energy are woven into your energy field for your sacred protection. Each of the five bands of power call in the energy of the elements, and act as filters, breaking down any dense or negative energy that comes towards you, into one of the elements; Pachamama/Mother Earth, Water of the Mountains, Fire and The Golden Sun, Winds of Air, and the Stars, Moon and Constellations.
These dense or negative energies are transmuted by the bands of power, into sustenance for your luminous energetic field that surrounds your body.
Once installed, these Bands of Power are always on.
The Bands of Power were transmitted by Juan Victor Nuñez del Prado, whose father was one of the discoverers of the Q’ero nation.
Rite #3: Harmony Rite
During the Harmony Rite you receive one of the Four Archetypes of the Four Directions (South, West, North and East), into each of your lower Chakras (Base to Heart).
You then receive the Archangel Keepers of the Lower and Middle worlds into your 5th and 6th Chakras, and then the Archangel Protector of the Upper World into your 7th Chakra.
The transmission of these archetypes and archangels assist you in connecting with the power of each archetype, with the organising principles of the universe, and your own energy centres.
The Harmony Rite comes from the lowland Q’ero, the Huachipayre people from the edge of the Amazon.
Rite #4: Seers Rite
When you receive the Seers Rite, five extra-cerebral pathways of light are installed that connect your Visual Cortex with your Third Eye and your Heart Chakra, through a crown and necklace of light. This awakens the inner-seer, and your ability to perceive the invisible world of energy and spirit.
The Seers rite is practiced among the North Coast peoples of Peru, (the descendants of the Chimu and Moche cultures), and by the seers and trackers of the Amazon.
Melissa is an incredible space holder. She shares her wisdom and insights in such a loving and grounded way. My life has opened up and changed for the better and I feel I’m walking into a new cycle of my life with something I really needed.

The Lineage Rites
Rite #5: The Day Keepers Rite
The Day Keepers Rite connects you with a lineage of master healers from the past, present and future. This Rite helps you to heal your inner feminine (regardless of physical gender), step beyond fear in your daily life, and cultivate peace, healing and beauty within your-self.
The Daykeepers Rite is known among the Andean Paqos (Shamans) as the Pampamesayok, referring to the lowlands and valleys of the ‘pampa’, and to the mesa or altar.
Rite #6: The Wisdom Keepers Rite
The Wisdom Keepers Rite helps you to connect to a lineage of luminous beings from the past and the future. This Rite helps you heal your relationship with your inner masculine (regardless of physical gender), step outside of linear time, and become steeped in the medicine teachings of the ancestors. It helps you to connect to your inner wisdom, and teaches wisdom and joy.
The Wisdomkeepers Rite is known among the Andean Paqos as the Altomesayok Rite, referring to the high mountains of the Andes.
Rite #7: The Earth Keepers Rite
The Earth Keepers Rite connects you to a lineage of archangels that are guardians of our galaxy, stewards of all life on earth. This Rite strengthens your connection to the stars and the sun (our local star).
This Rite helps you to learn the ways of the Seer and to dream the world into being. The Earth Keeper holds stewardship of the entire Earth, and brings consciousness to how you interact with the world around you.
The Earth Keepers Rite is known among the Andean Paqos as the Kurak Akuyek Rite, referring to the elder who ‘masticates’ the wisdom to nurture the young ones who follow.
The Rites to Come
Rite #8: Star Keepers Rite
The Star Keepers Rite anchors you safely to the time after the great change (said to have occurred around 2012). Your physical body begins to evolve into Homo-luminous, your DNA is re-formed, and the ageing process is slowed down. This Rite downloads the codes of new consciousness and opens and connects you to all future possibilities.
The Starkeepers Rite is known as the Mosoq Karpay, which means the ‘new rite’ in the Quechua language (spoken by the Q’ero Nation). This rite announces and prepares one for the ‘time to come.’
Rite #9: Creator Rite
The Creator Rite connects you to the light within yourself – the Source within – so that you can co-create your life.
It awakens the creator-light within, your God/Goddess nature and Christ/Buddha consciousness, and brings the cellular realisation that Spirit is not only acting through you; it is you.
The Creator Rite brings forth a sense of stewardship for all of creation, and are known as the Taitanchis rite. The word Taitanchis literally translates as ‘God.’
My heart has just fully opened up, and I have become a much kinder, gentler, more caring person. Overall, this course has transformed my life for the better, so I have nothing but gratitude to the Munay-Ki tribe, and towards Melissa for presenting it to us.

During our time together you will
// Receive all 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki over 6 weeks.
// Receive specific practices to assist the embodiment of the Rites you receive.
// Learn about two levels of Sacred Space + how to create, open and close each level of sacred space.
// Learn about energy hygiene and boundaries, to most effectively integrate the medicine of the Rites you receive.
// Strengthen your Energy Body and Chakra System.
// Journey to meet, and develop right-relationship with, the elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth

You’ll also receive
// Your Pi-Stone which acts as a personal talisman as you continue your journey of integration, transformation and empowerment.
By the end of the course, your Pi-Stone will hold the transmission of each of the Rites of the Munay-Ki, and serves to help grow the seeds of each Rite within you. When you’re ready, you pass on the Rites to others, using your Pi stone, and continuing the work of the lineage.
// A detailed written manual with guidance reflecting and expanding on your learnings during the course.
// Practices to cultivate and grow the seeds of the Rites. I’ll provide suggestions on how to cultivate the 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki within you first, and also how to pass the rites onto others, once you have embodied the Rites for yourself.
As you receive the Rites, you may experience
// an awakening of inner gifts and qualities
// individuation
// clarified sight – how you see yourself and the world
// purification of collective, inherited and personal imprints and stories
// amplified connection with self and the natural world
Receiving the transmission of these Rites are catalysts for awakening your own personal medicine, thereby becoming a Steward of Life.
Once your own personal medicine is awakened and strengthened (over the course of time), you’re able to weave your vibration of medicine and magic into the collective, naturally and in an empowered way.
This is for you if
// You feel the call deep within your soul.
Receiving the transmissions of the 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki are beyond words and the intellect. The conscious understanding of their magic and power comes later, after you’ve received the rites and witnessed their transformative power for yourself.
// You’re awakening and shedding past patterns of conditioning that are no longer in service to your soul expansion and embodiment.
// You feel called to hold a higher vibration of True-love (the pure source of all creation and healing) within your body and being.
// You feel called to connect with the Q’ero lineage of wisdom teachings and rites of initiation.
// You want to expand beyond your current sensory capacity and develop sensory gifts.
// You desire deep communion with all of creation; life, Mother Earth, the elements, and the dimensions of non-ordinary reality.
A sacred, beautiful journey facilitated in the most gentle, intuitive, loving and open way by the lovely soul that is Melissa. Everything about the 9 Rites of the Munay-Ki journey was truly special. Sharing the circle remotely was just as effective, if not more so, and the women I journeyed with did so with an open heart. Being initiated into the 9 Rites in such a supportive environment with beautiful women who laid bare their soul journeys and listened to mine was life changing. I am humbled to now be initiated as an Earth Keeper and cannot express my gratitude to the lineage of the Munay-Ki and Melissa enough.
