The third rite is the Harmony Rite [In Quechua, the Ayni Karpay], in which you receive seven archetypes into your chakras. In the first chakra, you receive the archetype of serpent; jaguar goes into the second; hummingbird into the third; and eagle into the fourth. Then, three “archangels” go into your upper three chakras. Huascar Inka, the keeper of the lower world and the unconscious is transmitted into the fifth chakra; Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent God of the Americas, and keeper of the middle world (our waking world) goes into the sixth; and Pachakuti, the protector of the upper world (our super-conscious) and keeper of the time to come goes into the seventh chakra.
These archetypes are transmitted into your chakras as seeds. These seeds germinate with fire, and you have to perform a number of fire meditations to awaken them and help them grow. Afterward, they help combust the psychic sludge that has built up in your chakras, so that your chakras can shine with their original light as you acquire a rainbow body.
This rite helps you to shed your past the way the serpent sheds her skin. Here is a description of each of the archetypes. They are like friends that you can call on to help you in any situation: In the 1st chakra is serpent that we call on to shed heavy energies wounds and emotions from others (over-empathy) and to fully engage with our core relationship to the earth. She helps us look at situation as a matter of fact, without getting caught in the emotions, to remain cool and calm.
In the 2nd chakra is jaguar to help us disengage from any battles, to be fearless in knowing and asking for what we truly desire and leaping into our chosen destiny. She can help us track in a very sensitive and invisible way for what is truly going on with a person or situation. She can help us reclaim our passion for life.
In the 3rd chakra is hummingbird to help us be appreciative and enjoy all the processes of life and drink the nectar along the way, and to embark on the epic seemingly impossible journey of the creator that we are. She helps us connect to our ancient wisdom and wisdom to come by being able to master time, to step out of the grip of linear time. She helps us become unattached to what we identify with and to specific outcomes, so that we have nothing left to defend and can simply enjoy the sweetness of life from the perspective of the witness or creator.
In the 4th chakra is condor/eagle to call on to look at the big picture and broadest perspective and to keep the vision of what we want to create most in our lives, to dream our world into being and use our feelings as guidance and a critical part of our asking, our prayer. Condor/eagle helps us to honor our own heartfelt desires and know that we can manifest them with the grace of Great Spirit.
In the 5th chakra is Huascar, keeper or harmonizing principle of the lower world, the subconscious, who helps us to go there and see what we truly are and what we truly want in life and call back parts of us that we may be missing along with the passion and gifts that we receive and that we then bring to the world (soul retrieval). We call on Huascar to help us determine our truest and most subconscious being and to help us with our shadow work – embracing and thus no longer attracting those aspects of ourselves that we would rather not experience. The great paradox of what you push against gets bigger, what you resist persists, and what you embrace disappears.
In the 6th chakra is Quetzoquatl, organizer of this world that helps us to pay our bills, keep our appointments, maintain our relationships, health and well-being in daily life and general quality of life. In other traditions this archetype is also known as Kokopelli, Kukulkan, Koni Raya and many others. With the help of Quetzoquatl, we don’t have to micromanage our life.
In the 7th Chakra is Pachakuti, organizer of the upper world, the keeper of possibilities who helps us to dream a new and better world and life into being (the destiny retrieval). Pachakuti helps us to call on our next evolution, to step out of linear time and recognize and change that which we would like to change before it manifests.
ARCHETYPES
The great archetypes of our tradition are organizing principles of the Universe. They are the forces that we call to create sacred space and they are the Energy Beings that have been planted as seeds in each of your chakras. It is important to remember that you have received them as seeds, they are pure potential - it is your own engagement with them and your relationship with them that will grow them into the powerful forces that inform your chakras in new ways.
That is why you do the fire ceremonies, to grow these seeds with fire. Take the two weeks after each fire ceremony to source yourself from the archetype in each chakra, see your world from that perspective, so that you get your own sense of connection to each archetype.
You can also create an indoor fire ceremony using candles, or a burning bowl.
Instead of being exclusively informed by our histories and by our cultural prescriptions, these organizing principles of the Universe, begin to organize our energy centers.
Serpent: Mother of the Waters; archetype of the healer throughout many cultures; the one who teaches us to shed our personal past the way she sheds her skin -- primary life force, the one who dives deep, deep - who knows the way into the deepest places inside of ourselves - the One who walks with beauty on the belly of the Mother – the One who knows the way back to the Garden, the place of innocence.
Jaguar: Mother-Sister Jaguar who knows the way across the rainbow bridge to the world of mystery – the One who swallows the dying sun, teaching us to step beyond fear, violence and death. The archetypal connection to the life force of the jungle, everything that is green; steward of the life force – Luminous Warrior who has no enemies in this world or the next – represents the Life/Death principle and renewal.
Ancient Ones and Hummingbird: The place of the ancestors, Grandmothers and Grandfathers, ancient memories, ancient wisdom – the Ones who have stepped outside of Time but slip through the curtain to help us remember the ancient ways – the way of the Hummingbird, who drinks directly from the nectar of Life -- not built for flight yet undertakes and accomplishes the impossible journey.
Condor or Eagle: The great archetype of the East, the place of the rising Sun, the place of our Becoming -- principle of seeing from high perspective, vision of clarity and beauty, the great wings of the condor hold the heart, teaches us to see with the eyes of the heart – the One who pushes us out of the nest to spread our own wings so that we may always fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit. 3
Huascar: Lord of life; Lord of death. Historically, one of two sons of Pachakuti Inka (the Inka who read the prophecy of bearded men with sticks that spoke with fire who would turn the world upside down). Huascar was the keeper of the medicine teachings; he was killed by his brother who then negotiated with the Spanish. He became the harmonizing principle of the Lower World – the chaotic dark place of all creative potential. He/she is the renewer of the Earth and our own personal need of renewing our own earth, fields that are fallow, places that need aerating. The gift of Huascar is to harmonize our relationship with our Shadow. The Keeper of the Lower World (our unconscious)
Quetzelcoatl: Lord of the morning/the dawn; the Day Bringer, Morning Star; -- Quetzel is a beautiful jungle bird and coatl is serpent, reptile, a feathered, winged serpent that has acquired flight - the organizer of the middle world, brought irrigation, medicine plants and stonework, walked the Americas, brought stability, music, dance, flutes, drums - though it has been lost in our culture, we can call on it individually, an animistic knowledge of the ways of the Earth - organizes your relationship with the Middle World - when you come into relationship with Quetzlcoatl you don't have to micromanage your life. The Keeper of the Middle World (our waking world).
Pachakuti: Historically, the Inka king who was given the prophecy that the world was turning over (coming of the Spanish) the keeper of the possibilities, organizing principle of the Upper World; - embodies the concept of circular time, stepping outside of linear time - makes time stand still - brings order, heavenly order - coming into relationship with Pachakuti allows us to recognize what can be changed and changing it before it is born.
You must develop your own relationship with the archetypes and your descriptions should come from your experience. The Protector of the Upper World (our super conscious).

The Harmony Rite comes from the lowland Q’ero, the Huachipayre people from the edge of the Amazon. Alberto Villoldo learned it from don Alejandro Cahuanchi, a renowned healer. Susan Palmieri received the rites on an expidition with Villoldo, in 2012, from don Francisco Chura Flores (and his paqos).
