Chumpi Belt Initiations

IMG_4062A Chumpi Belt Initiation is a Peruvian, Shamanic ceremony, from the Q’ero Indians, to put five protective bands of energy, known as Chumpis, around an individual. Special ceremonial Chumpi Stones (or Khuyas) are used to place the five Chumpi Belts around the body. These correspond to the seven chakras or energy centres of the body.

Each belt is an energy source and a form of perception, put in place by a Chumpi Paqo (an individual trained to perform the giving of the Chumpi Belts of energy to another individual).

The Benefits of Having Chumpi Belts Placed Around You

The five Chumpi Belts help activate the seven energy centres of the body. The belts also help us to remove heavy energy that we accumulate on a day to day basis. More importantly, they enable a deeper connection to our life force and to Mother Nature, the Sun, Moon and Stars, as well as the the elements of Earth and Water,

Given the pressures of our Western culture, it is easy to become disconnected with Nature. This beautiful ceremony enables us to find again, our natural connection to the World around us and teaches us how to continue to do so.
