Phaña Hatun Karpay

This is the original Hatun Karpay taught to Andean Master Don Juan Nuñez Del Prado, by his Phaña teacher Don Benito Qoriwaman. The work of the Phaña [P’anya] (or Right Side Path), is to emphasise the rational and cognitive development of Yachay - intellect and knowledge through direct experience and perception. It is a Gnostic tradition that allows the perceiver to get a personal connection to the supernatural. This path provides a training to take care of the personal life-force field - (the Poqpo), based in an intimate and fluid relational exchange, with the external natural and metaphysical energetic environment we call the Kausay Pacha (world of the living energy).

Since 1992, Juan and his son Ivan have been offering this Karpay to invoke the spirit of the new age, raising the levels of human consciousness. This Hatun Karpay (Great initiation) is essentially the basic preparation towards the crowning ritual of a spiritual emperor. It affords participants, the privilege of partaking in the rites of becoming part of the Incan royalty. Each ritual builds on the other with the aim to arrive at the fifth level of consciousness - that of the total healer.

Phaña was the first of three Karpay’s that Juan retrieved from his masters over the course of eleven years. Each of the Karpay’s weave into each other and overlap following the path of the Mystic (Paña - right side); the path of the Enlightened Couple (Chaupi - the middle path); and the Magical (Lloqe - left side path).

Practicing the rituals of the Phaña Karpay has been necessary to activate the power of the Q’enti, (the hummingbird). The Q’enti is a symbol of the Hanaq Pacha (the upper world), represented in the shape of the citadel of Machu Picchu. After 12 years of continuous practice, the power of the hummingbird, was activated. It was then possible to go one step forward, pulling down this power, and awakening the power of the Puma. The Puma is a symbol of the Kay Pacha (this world), represented in the city of Cusco. The next stage was to pull these two powers down to the Ukhu Pacha (the underworld), represented by the symbol of the Anaconda in the Titicaca lake.
