The Power of the Chumpis In the Hands of the North American Seeker
from Elephant Journal
I was walking through Cusco, and the entire city was bustling with preparations for the Inti Raymi festival. It was 1997 and I had already been to Peru many times, so I knew the area pretty well. This time, however, I’d arrived at this city nestled in the Sacred Valley without having booked a hotel. Though they said I’d never find a room, I finally managed to get a place in a very dark hostel.
As I was settling in, a local woman visited my room and handed me seven stones that would shift the course of my entire life. This was my first set of Chumpis. Seven stones that fit so well in the palm of my hand were studded with between one and seven “mountains” – little bumps that differentiated the Chumpis from one another.

Why Peru? Why Not?
from Wisdom Magazine
In the 21st century, the spirit of place and taking spiritual journeys is more important than ever. For master healer, teacher, and visionary Eleanora Amendolara, Peru, its land, spirit, and people offer unparalleled opportunities for self-growth and transformation.

I am in awe of all of the information and connection that come through all these new digital channels, and yet I still believe in the power of place and the transformational potential of taking a journey.

THE CHILD
The Child didn’t know who to talk to or how to talk about it. She had a feeling that she should keep it to herself. The family was traveling in their 1952 green Plymouth on a rural Pennsylvania road to visit friends, when it happened. Acres of tilled, flat farmland surrounded them and in the distance The Child saw a woman walking on the side of the road toward the car. She wore a large bonnet, a long white dress narrowly fitted at the waist, with a ruffled collar, long sleeves, and a woven basket over her arm. She carried herself with a simple elegance as if she were happily out for a Sunday stroll on a sunny day. The Child sensed the woman was from another time. She saw her as clearly as she could see her father in the front seat at the wheel of the car. She wondered if anyone else saw her. Read more…
