The Munay Ki are the nine great rites of the medicine way. The word munay means “I love you” and “be as thou art.” The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of “homo luminous.” The prophecies of the Ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet–one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature.
