JULY at the Heart of AN: Part One : The AN•visible

JULY at the Heart of AN: Part One

Aug 3 2019 in Blog by Solara

July was an action-packed month that went by so fast and was so full that it’s already difficult to remember.

We had wonderful visits with people who came to connect with the AN energies and for strong and true readings with the Cards of AN. We made two trips to our favorite village of Chinchero ~ one to align with a ceremony for Pachamama and the other one to visit the Sunday Market.

Fiestas were happening all around us ~ especially the large Virgin del Carmen Fiesta in Pisac and Peru’s Independence Day ~ Fiestas Patrias. In our small village, both Emanaku and Alexander appeared in their very first parade!

There was a strong element of Ho’o Pono Pono in July as things such as necessary repairs came up to be made right. Emanaku has been totally reorganizing his office for a month now and although it’s looking and feeling much better, the process still isn’t complete.

Emanaku also made a trip to Pedro’s village of Yanamayo with the gift of a double bed, mattress and bedding. Near the end of the month, Christine arrived from Australia for a Transformational Retreat. We had a beautiful time together.

During the final days of July, German and his crew came and repaired all the walls of our vegetable garden.

Throughout it all, I even managed to write a Surf Report and Updates, but had very little time to work on my new book which is now 822 pages!

: A gorgeous sunrise at the Heart of AN! The pink sunrises are a bit rare and only last for about fifteen minutes, but they always feel like such a blessing! Often, the pink sunrises wake us up so we can see them.

: On July 13, we had a visit from the beautiful Anne-Lise from France.

: After a tour of the land which she loved, she had a powerful reading with the Cards of AN.

: Kukuli is becoming quite agile at scampering around on three legs.

: Repairs were made on our small road with the addition of four new irrigation pipes. We happily donated the cost of two of them, for which they were grateful. (Of course while they were doing this, we couldn’t go out for a few days).

: Sometimes, the Alpacas of AN get special treats of this delicious wheat grass. We tuck it into the fence of their house so they can eat it at their leisure.

: Nima and Tawani are always so curious and smart. They know that they are deeply loved by us.

: On the morning of July 15, we went to Chinchero where there was a very true ceremony apologizing to Pachamama for the desecration of her land being currently made by the unfortunate construction of an airport there.
Once we arrived, we were very moved by the energy of the procession. Just as we were about to join them, we realized that we needed to go to a different location and make our own private ceremony.

: We drove to a somewhat hidden location which was in direct alignment with the special ceremony for Pachamama. (The flags on the hill.)

: Here we became so vast that we filled the entire Sacred Valley and did the SUN • MOON • AN Meditation. It felt very right to be doing this in alignment with the Pachamama Ceremony.

: Afterwards, we made a brief stop in Chinchero to get some delicious choclo con queso. (corn on the cob with a piece of cheese.)

: The Full Moon on July 15 showed a reflection of itself.

: During Pisac’s big Virgen de Carmen Festival in July, this huge demon was parked by the side of the main road from Cuzco to the Sacred Valley. Compared to the man on the left, it is huge!

: On July 21, Emanaku, Pedro and Alexander prepare to go to Yanamayo with a double bed, mattress, pillows and duvets that we gave them.

: It was a half hour walk from the car to their house via the easy path. (The steeper path takes fifteen minutes.) Pedro loaded up with as many things as possible. (It took several trips to get everything there.)

: This is the “easy”, but longer path.

: Pedro’s wife Cecilia was happily surprised with the much needed, new gifts.

: Pedro, Alexander, Emanaku and Yojhan pose in front of Pedro’s cabaña. This is where they stay when they need to take care of their alpacas, especially the crias (babies) in winter since it’s closer to the herd.
Right now, the cabaña is being reconstructed and enlarged; it will have a brand new roof soon.

: Alpacas really disappear into the landscape up there. They always look so perfectly at home in their natural habitat.

: Part of Pedro and Cecilia’s adorable alpaca herd were full of friendly curiosity.

: While everyone were having their photo taken, a huge eagle flew overhead. Such a majestic presence!

: On July 22, Edward, Leimomi and their son Atreo visited us. Here, they are giving me a precious present from Sayed Adli Bdaway from the Great Pyramids. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Dear Sayed!!!
After exploring the land, they both had readings with the Cards of AN and then we went out to dinner together.
