I have practiced Yoga myself for over 28 years and teach adults and children in Aberdeenshire. I am also studying Tibetan Bon Shamanism which I include in my Spiritual Counselling. As a Reiki Master from the Usui tradition, I am also available for Reiki treatments with or without shamanic drumming, distant Reiki healing and Indian head massage. I am the Creator of the Wo'Moon Circle of One.

Finding your own Power

 If you feel you are out of balance, out of your centre,

I can help you to find your own Inner Power, which I like to refer to as your Inner Melody. We can find this in many different ways, sometimes by using meditation and relaxation techniques, by chanting and using Sound Healing techniques, sometimes  just by 'Being' so one day you can sing your Individual Power Song again...In many native traditions, the Power of song and sound is used in healing techniques. The sounds travels to your Inner being, and will help to heal many deep issues you might be having difficulties with right now. Together we can look at these issues and by using different methods you might be able to change the emotions/feelings that relate to these issues. If you feel this is what you have been searching for...contact me and and perhaps I can give you guidance and support, walk beside you for a while, until you feel balanced again to continue your own Journey in Life...

I have been recording some of my own songs on a CD called Tribal Woman. Some great friends and musicians have some together and we call ourselves SAGE.

These songs might help you to find your own Song, they are written and sung from the heart, and we hope they will inspire you and that you enjoy listening to them.

 An unique opportunity to enter the real, true world of the Inka-Q’ero Healer

Urpichay Events presents the first Seminar dedicated exclusively to teaching the ceremonial and healing secrets of the Inka-Q’ero people, the last mystic community of the Peruvian Andes. The Seminar will consist of two days of intensive ceremonial practices and ancestral prayers which will transmit a profound knowledge of techniques that cleanse and heal our life energies and reconnect us with Pachamama - Mother Earth, and with the Sacred Mountain Spirits - the Apus.
El Hampi - the Power of Healing through the sacred use of energies - has been the spiritual base of Peruvian natives for more than 7,000 years and only a few Amaut’as (Andean priests) have had the privilege to know and preserve this ancestral wisdom.

The Seminar will be directed by Richard Aguayo and Don Ramon Phacsi

INKA-Q'ERO HEALERS

In the sacred peaks of the Peruvian Andes exists a nation hidden in mystery called “Inka-Q’ero” one of the most important centers for spiritual apprenticeship in the world, where the Healers wisely manage the energetic and healing forces of their sacred “Pachamama-Mother Earth”, who have the privilege of being intermediaries for  the celebration of ceremonies and healings

Don Ramon is an  “Inka-Q'ero Native Healer ”, who is part  of a selected group of “Ancients” with a great knowledge of the Ancestral Andean Medicine, dedicated to protect and share the profound healing secrets of Pachamama-Mother Earth, for whom they carry out exclusive ceremonies, which help to balance and improve our sacred energy of life.

 

Richard Aguayo has spent the last 25 years of his life in the remote and sacred Andean Mountains and in the pristine jungles of the Amazon, living with some of the last groups of natives, also called “Children of Pachamama”, who have preserved their ancestral wisdom and the power of “Hampi”. Richard has traveled to many countries bringing with him this knowledge and sharing the sacred ceremonies which help to heal our dear Mother Earth, our Pachamama.

The “Hampiq” - or Inka-Q’ero Healer

The Q’ero Curandero, or Healer, has always lived in the Sacred Mountains of the Peruvian Andes. Blessed by Pachamama (Mother Earth), he celebrates all the religious aspects that accompany his life, and joins himself lovingly and faithfully with nature and the universe and their divine components: the earth, the mountains, the rivers, the trees and even the rocks. He wisely shares his world with the animals and ceremonially manages the energetic forces of his Pachamama, his Apus (Mountain Spirits), his Mama Killa (Mother Moon), his Tayta Inti (Father Sun) and his Mama Q’ocha (Mother Lake). Aided by these spirits, he has been able to unite his body with the four sacred energies that affect life and physical and spiritual healing; he is the exclusive bearer of the “Mesa” which allows him to be “Hampiq”, an intermediary who is permitted to celebrate the “Despachos” and “Ofrendas” (Dispatches and Offerings) which help men to heal and to respect their own bodies and spirits.

Private healing sessions duration about 50 minutes per individual. cost: private consultation £ 85

Exclusive sessions  where the participants will be able to reconect with themselves and with the sacred place of birth,  for this Healers will use their “Khuyas “ or Ancient Healing Stones; each participant will have the opportunity to be with Don Ramon, who will answer questions reading their sacred andean leaves

Group healings sessions will take about 2 hours, first a talk by Don Ramon, then individual healing for about 20 minutes per person, maximum of 5 people per group healing.

group consultation £ 49 per person

A Wo'Moon Circle Gathering gives us a possiblity to connect with other women, no matter what your background is. A place to contemplate, meditate, sing, drum, tell stories etc. It is a safe place to come closer to each other on a deeper level of understanding ourselves and others. These gatherings are very rare in our society. It is a place where all women are welcome, where we can support each other in our journey of re-connecting with our 'Self', and are supported by other women.
In the 'old ways', this was a common tradition, and somehow it has been lost in our modern way of living.
We are so happy that we found so many women who felt the same need for these gatherings, and have been meeting for the last two years.

Please bring along a drum, a ratlle if you have one. If you don't have this, that's fine, we will have some for you. Perhaps a cushion, or a blanket that you would like to sit on, something to eat to share afterwards.

We ask for a donation of £10 p.p. If this is difficult for you, please contact us, so perhaps you can offer an energy-exchange of helping to set up or so. Please never feel that you can't be there because of this.

We look forward to connecting with you again, or for the first time. Every time new faces join the Circle of One, and know that you are always welcome, even if you can not attend all the gatherings, or if it's your first visit.
 

My vision, and of many Others, is to expand the Circle Of One. Many Circles are being Created right now all over the World. It is time to Re-Connect and share the message of Peace and bring this back into the World, for ourselves and for the Future Generations.

I have supported many Wo'Moon to set up their own Circle, in this country and abroad. If you feel that you would like to set up your own Circle and would like inspiration and guidance how to do this, you can contact me and we can arrange a meeting. 

With Love and Blessings,
Claudia

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty."      -- Albert Einstein
 
'WO'MOON CIRCLE OF ONE'
 
WESAK MOON MEDITATION FRIDAY 8TH MAY 2009, 7.30-9.30 PM
 LUMPHANAN, ABERDEENSHIRE
 
DEAR WO'MOON,
 
This is an invitation to a full moon meditation at the yurt.

This full moon is a very powerful moon. At this full moon time many will travel to the Himalayan regions to connect with the energies of the Enlightened Ones. According to ancient sacred texts, the energy of Compassion and Love will be then transmitted to the ones who are ready and open to receive. I will facilitate a meditation to connect with this sacred energy and invite you to join us on this auspicious evening. We will connect from here to the energy grid in the Himalayan Mountains. We will meditate on cultivating Love and Compassion for ourselves so we can be the vessel of Peace for all sentient beings. I have just returned from my journeys to Nepal and have visited some monesteries and sacred places there. I feel strongly guided to continue the momentum of this energy exchange that was given to me there and to share some of the teachings with you, so you can feel more peace and happiness within and without.
 
We will have a feast of celebration afterwards to celebrate the lives of the enlightened ones, so please bring something to share for this. Please wear warm clothing and your drums or rattles, if you don't have such, we will have some for you to share here.
 
This meditation is free, however I am involved with a few organisations in Nepal that need financial support. If you can give some money towards these projects, that would be very much appriciated. However, we will have other fundraises for the projects at some other point so if you can't just now, please just join us for the meditation for free.
 
I will have some beautiful bags for sale, made of organic cotton. These bags are made by the women of Chetana Women Skill Development Project. This is a small project of 22 women who are supported by having a job, some are widows with young children and have now a more secure income. If you would like to support them and buy a bag, then please bring some cash along (no cheques please). The prices go up to about £ 20 per bag, but there are also some pencil cases etc. for about £ 5 each.
 
If you would like to join the meditation, please confirm your space by email to me:
inner-melodies@hotmail.co.uk
 
If you are not able to join us, I hope you can find some time to meditate in a quiet place and connect with us on a energetic level of Love and Compassion.
 
I look forward to sharing a sacred space with you all soon again and thank you for the continious support. Your support has helped many good causes in Nepal. I also encourage you to share your suggestions for people to find out about charities that you support. In this way we can all network and make a positive change in the world.
 
With Love and Peace,
Claudia xxx
