Machu Picchu is located in Peru, northwest of Cusco on a cloud-covered mountain ridge in the Urubamba Valley. The Inca emperor Pachacuti built the site around 1400 AD. The Incas left the site about a century later. Machu Picchu has been known as “The Lost City of the Incas”. It was rediscovered in 1911 by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham, but was not touched by man until then.
Machu Picchu measures around five square miles and is astrologically aligned, and has approximately 200 buildings. The Sacred District consists of three main buildings. The buildings are the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana and the Hall of the Three Windows. Around 1,200 people lived in and around Machu Picchu during the time of the Incas. The buildings are believed to have been built by professional Inca architects.
The Incas gave a special religious meaning to the mountains of Machu Picchu, and its location is the main reason why it is thought to be a sacred destination. Today, the area is said to be a major energy vortex on earth. The area is believed to be very powerful, as it lies at the base of two energy vortices. These vortices are made up of two concentrated energy rings. These rings work as templates for the electric and magnetic vortexes that surround Machu Picchu.
An energy vortex is a point of high energy that is in the electromagnetic field of the energy of the earth. Each terrestrial vortex is said to resemble the energy chakras of the human body. Ley lines link energy vortices across the earth.
Shamans are intermediaries between our human world and the world of the spirit. Shamans heal physical ailments by working with the spirit. Shamans are believed to be able to enter other dimensions to get answers on how to achieve balance and restoration. They work on a soul or spirit level to heal on a physical level.
