You Deserve Nothing

So often, I have clients telling me they believe they deserve certain things in their life now. Although I am very sympathetic when I hear this and understand where they are coming from, I also know that the dynamics of life don’t work that way. Thinking like that only sets us up for more frustration and anger when those things don’t materialize. There is a better mindset that fosters a very…

The Three Principles we must follow when making medicine in the Quechua Andean Tradition are:

Allin Yachay : Good Thoughts & Good Knowledge. Heeding always to Ancestral Wisdom. Knowing what is Right. In modern times this includes all forms of our cultural, traditional knowledge aswell as integrating new western-scientific knowledge.

Allin Munay : keeping a Good Heart, wanting the Right Thing, acting out of kindness, out of love, holding appreciation for our medicinal allies, and in loving remembrance of the Ancestors (human and non-human) who've taught us the medicine we're making. It also includes keeping Right Relation with all our Spirit allies, ancestral, herbal and other kinds, through maintaining proper Reciprocity (Ayni).

Allin Ruray : Good Work. Putting your hands to work on the Right Thing, based on what you know and how you feel. Your Actions must reflect the best out of both Mind and Heart, and be the Right choice, the right action, for both healer and patient. This also requires the supervision of Ancestral Spirits who must approve and allow for the healing process. If there's disapproval from the Spirits, for example, due to a lack of knowledge, a lack of clarity, being the wrong person or simply not being the right time for it, the healing will not occur and the patient must be turned away or redirected elsewhere, where they may find their right path.

These Three Principles represent how the Mind, Heart and Actions of the Healer must be in internal harmony for the act of Healing to happen, aswell as the harmony that must exist externally between Healer and the Natural-Spiritual environment in order to lead the patient back to their own internal and external harmony.

No wrong thought should cloud the mind, no grievances should cloud the heart, and our actions mustn't be unqualified nor uncalled for, to allow the patient to be led back to Good Health, Allin Kay, and Right Living, Allin Kawsay.

there's a statement i want to make and it's about "starseeds". this article explains it well, but to summarise, the idea of "starseeds" is deeply embedded in ableism against neurodivergent people, racism against bipoc people, anti-semitism, neo-nazism and fascism.

i've unfortunately unknowingly been using a deck called "the starseed oracle deck" by rebecca campbell. she is also a white australian, yet uses closed practices like Q'ero and Munay Ki.

i want to share one paragraph that really drives the point home about "starseeds" though (sourced from the first link): The starseed myth provides what all good religions provide — an explanatory framework for suffering and evil. You’re suffering because you’re not from this planet. That’s why you feel lonely and strangely superior to the people around you. Never mind ‘your problems come from your parents or ancestors’ — your problems come from your multiple galactic lives. Why are you phobic of dogs? Because you’re a Lyran! Why do you have a speech impediment and can’t pronounce your r’s? Because your previous alien species didn’t use r’s (literally, that’s what this person says).

i find this whole thing abhorrent. i believe that problems in general stem from the actions and mindsets of people, the behaviour of our fellow humans. this is freeing because it means no matter what, the Universe, Spirit, God, the Gods, whatever you believe in -- they're unconditionally loving of everyone and everything. they want you to be happy, they want you to be successful, they want you to have what you need -- but you may need support if your circumstances have barriers from getting you there, and your actions can be what results in your success.

i also believe that the lack of connection between people is directly correlated to their capacity to understand themselves. this "starseed" fad is also extremely falacious because it removes the believer from accepting fellow humans, implanting these mindsets that result in a harmful othering.

so. needless to say, i will not be supporting rebecca campbell or using this deck anymore, and i apologise for my negligence in using it in my practice. going forward, i will research more thoroughly before supporting anyone in the spiritual community.
