What is a Chumpi Stone Khuya?

The word Chumpi or sometimes known as Chunpi; Comes from South America - Quechua language which is a spoken but an unwritten. It is from the high Andean Mountains in Peru, South America.

The language that until recently was un-written was the main language spoken in the high mountains. It can be difficult to translate. Many interpret it and have tried to translate, but this remains subjective.

With many interpretations of the language now, it is much easier to understand, however it is a sensory language that refers to ancient ways of being that is un-like main spoken commonly used languages. Some would say it is a rich dialect stooped in Spanish Inka and Latin Spanish origins.

It is still spoken widely by the peoples who live high up in the Andean Mountains in Peru down into Bolivia. Spoken in mixes of Latin Spanish in it's common use. In particular refers a lot to medicine people's, shaman priest's and elders who are known as Children of the Sun.

Medicine People'e of the High Andes;

The word Chumpi is a sacred stone used in the the rites of the initiation's from the Qero Shaman Pagos Priest's, some times known as the Laika Priest's (Preitess's) or Paqos Shaman Elders.

These people are children of the Sun, Inti meaning the Sun, the Father of the Sky. The Father that bring balance from above as so below. Equally important the Earth or Pachamama - Mother Earth.

These people - The enlighten ones pass on history and teaching's of the Rites, Ritual's and Ceremony that are handed down generation to generation....down a long lineage; Grandfather, Grandmother to Father, Mother to Children's Children.....

Chumpi Stone use:

Chumpi stone's are used for initiation rites of the Inka Shaman including; Bands of Protection, Munay Ki Rite's of Passage and other key initiation's sort by the Qero elders.

These stones that correspond with the chakras are widely used in other spiritual healing tradition's.

Chumpi Stone Set and Individual Point's:

The word Kuya or Khuya is another Quechua word meaning transformed, transformation or special or sacred stone. These Chumpi Khuya's are made by hand with symbols carved into them. The stones each in a set of 7 that represent each chakra with a corresponding point; 1 -7 points.

The design and symbology can change, the belief is as seasons and cycles change, energy of what each stone is made from can differ. Sometimes etched with symbols that correspond with mother earth, the elements and key objects that hold all things in Ayni. (Ayni means in balance). Reciprocated balance and is another Quechua word.

You’ll notice that each Chumpi point is ringed by three carved lines. These carvings represent the lower, middle, and upper worlds of the Q’ero Cosmology: the Uhupacha, Kaypacha, and Hanaqpacha, respectively. These rings also stand for our states of being: love, wisdom, and service: Munay, Yachay, and Llanky.

Chakra Stone Points 8-12:

Many believe these chakras reside outside of our body and our personal auric field. The chakras go far beyond us and back to source. The 8th chakra is said to reside outside of us, but above us so we can direct source it. The others lay much further away but all directly connected to each other. Chakras; 9, 10, 11 and 12 remain magical and have some interpretation. They are unique each to a higher sense and way of influence that is outside of our elemental controls each sourcing from i'ts realms such as the world, Planets and Stars.

Chakra Anthopology:

The concept of chakras comes from ancient Indian spiritual and philosophical traditions, particularly in the context of yoga and Ayurveda.

Chakras are believed to be energy centers located along the spine and through the body, which are thought to play a role in maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While there are many variations and interpretations of the chakra system, including different numbers of chakras and their corresponding points, the most well-known version includes seven major chakras.

However, some modern interpretations have expanded this to include more chakras, such as the 12-chakra system you mentioned.

Here's a breakdown of the traditional 7 chakras and a brief overview of the expanded 12-chakra system:

Traditional 7 Chakras:

Root Chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine, this chakra is associated with feelings of security, stability, and being grounded.

Sacral Chakra (Swadhisthana): Located in the lower abdomen, this chakra is connected to emotions, creativity, and sexuality.

Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Situated above the navel, this chakra relates to personal power, confidence, and self-esteem.

Heart Chakra (Anahata): Located at the center of the chest, this chakra is associated with love, compassion, and emotional balance.

Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Positioned in the throat area, this chakra is connected to communication, self-expression, and authenticity. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna): Situated between the eyebrows, this chakra is linked to intuition, insight, and spiritual awareness.

Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Located at the top of the head, this chakra is associated with connection to higher consciousness and spirituality.

Expanded 12-Chakra System: In some modern interpretations, additional chakras are added to the traditional seven, forming a 12-chakra system. The additional chakras are often situated above the crown chakra and below the root chakra, extending both upwards and downwards. These additional chakras may include points like the "Soul Star Chakra," "Stellar Gateway Chakra," "Earth Star Chakra," and others.

Each of these chakras is believed to correspond to different aspects of spiritual development, consciousness, and energy. It's important to note that the 12-chakra system is not universally accepted within all traditions, and interpretations can vary widely.

The chakra system itself is a complex and symbolic framework, and its significance can vary based on individual beliefs and practices. If you're interested in working with the chakra system, I recommend studying from reputable sources, consulting with experienced practitioners, and finding resources that resonate with you personally.
