The "OFFERING" ceremony of the People of the Andes.

The Andean People's practice the religious ceremony of making offerings to the mountains, Mother Earth, an other spirits. It was and still is an act of love and a reminder of the connections we share with all beings, elements, spirits and sacred places. It is done in reciprocity, reverence, and thanksgiving. At a deepest level, it is an opportunity to enter into the essential unity of all things.
There are at least 300 variations of OFFERINGS. While there are certain elements common to all, the particular HEALING INTENTION determines the design of the offering, some of the contents, and even the way that offerings are carried on.
The CEREMONY brings PARTICIPANTS into ALIGNMENT with their PERSONAL INTENT, the GROUP INTENT, and the GRATITUDE  to the EARTH.
"Intention" was defined as WHAT CAN MAKE A MAN SUCCEED when his THOUGHTS TELL HIM THAT HE IS DEFEATED. "Intent" is the power that sends a shaman pass through a wall, through space, to infinity.  "Intent" gives the CAPACITY TO CONTROL SUBTLE ENERGIES.
Subtle energies was known as the ones who moves throughout the LIGHT ENERGY BODY that cannot be quantified and do not involve the physical fields of energy. This luminous body is defined as a COCOON that ONLY PERCEIVES. It belongs to the energy bubble that surrounds the body.
The CEREMONY also brings PARTICIPANTS into INTERNAL ALIGNMENT WITH the THREE
BANDS : physical (YANKAY), feeling and heart (MUNAY), and spirit (YACHAY). The alignment is comparable to the alignment of the seven energy centers of other cultural frameworks.
Finally, the CEREMONY HARMONIZES the COMMUNITY through the SHARING of COCA LEAVES and gifts of STONES, all of which STRENGTHEN the LUMINOUS FIBERS THAT CONNECT US ALL.
