The 13th Rite – The Rite of the Womb is a very powerful and loving energy trasmission that has been designed to restore the natural balance of your creative center. The Rite of the Womb is a blessing of the Womb, the sacred place of creation which is available to both Men and Women. Many Women are still carrying the pain and resentment of their Mothers, Grandmothers and Female Ancestors. Some feel the wounds of Past Life connections or have had traumatic experiences in this lifetime that block the flow of Joy and Happiness which stops them from connecting with the Divine Feminine that resides in each and every Human Being. The Healing Energy of this blessing will reactivate this Divine Feminine Power with you.

The Feminine Spirit of the Jungle reminds us of this simple and vital

truth:

* The Womb is not a place to store Fear and Pain.

* The Womb is to Create and give Birth to New Life.

This lineage of Women, through the Jungle Medicine, has given us the 13th Rite of the Munay Ki tradition. As soon as you receive the blessings and share it with others you will begin the process of healing not only the Physical Womb but also the Spiritual Womb. In doing this, you will also bring Healing to the Blessed Mother Earth. The Rite of the Womb – The 13th Rite of the Munay-Ki, is a Contemporary Ritual that is Birthed into being very recently by Marcela Lobos, a Medicine Woman who was initiated into the Healing and spiritual Traditions of the Amazon and Andes. The Munay Ki are a series of Rituals brought to the West by Marcela’s Husband, Dr Alberto Villoldo, distilled from his work as a Medical Anthropologist with the High Shamans of South America. As Dr Villoldo says, “Rites of Passage and Initiation have been practices for Millenia by all peoples of Earth. The Rites of the Munay Ki are based on Initiatory Practices of the Shamans of the Andes and the Amazon. They are stripped of all trace of the Indigenous Cultures they come from. I did this to respect the Native Traditions, and to avoid the idea that persons from the West can become traditional Shamans or Indians.”

Dr Villoldo brought the 9 Rites of Munay Ki out of the Jungle, so why is this newest Rite the 13th and not the 10th? Marcela explains, “Before the Rite of the Womb there were 9 Rites. Though the Rite of the Womb is the Tenth Rite to be given to us, this is a Feminine Rite and does not need to follow Linearity. The lineage that passed this Rite to us wants us to honour the 13 Moons of the Year, which are connected to the Cycles of the Womb.”
