Embracing the Power of Divine Timing: A Journey with Maestra Altomesayoq Doña Maria
Experience the magic of trust, patience, and divine timing.
In the fast-paced world that we live in, patience is often an overlooked virtue. However, there is a certain magic in the art of waiting and trusting the process, such as in embracing the concept of divine timing. Here at Ayni Pacha, we would like to share an inspiring story that serves as a gentle reminder of the immense power of divine timing.
A Chance Encounter with a Powerful Healer
Three years ago, I had the honor of meeting the captivating Maestra Altomesayoq Doña Maria. At 96 years old, Doña Maria radiates an energy that is difficult to put into words. Truly embodying the spirit of the high Andes, her life in the quaint village of Q’ero nation is one filled with depth and purpose. However, it wasn't easy to meet her. Our paths seemed to miss each other each time I visited her village.
Perhaps I wasn't ready to experience her medicine, her wisdom, her healing power. Perhaps, there was more work I needed to do before I could sit with her. Nevertheless, divine timing stepped in when it was time. Within three years, I finally had the opportunity to work with this powerful healer.
The Unfolding of Doña Maria’s Spirit
Six months after our encounter, I began to witness her medicine unfold before my eyes. Doña Maria’s spirit resonated deeply, reminding me of the comfort and familiarity of home. Her childlike nature and free spirit echoed those of my grandfather — a deep love and appreciation for life, not taking things too seriously yet deeply passionate and devoted to their craft.
The Sacred Path of an Altomesayoq
What adds to Doña Maria's fascinating persona is that she is an Altomesayoq — a title held by only a handful of people alive today. The path to becoming an Altomesayoq is undeniably challenging. One must withstand a lightning strike as part of their initiation procedure, symbolizing their choice to devote their life to a path selected by forces greater than themselves.
An Altomesayoq is said to have a unique communion with the spirit world and can access realms invisible to many people. Unlike a Pampa Mesayoq Paqo Shaman, their profound knowledge cannot be passed down, making their societal role even more significant and respected.
Trust in Divine Timing
Through this inspiring journey with Doña Maria, the lesson of trusting in divine timing has been deeply ingrained. Yes, sometimes things do not unfold as quickly as we hope. We may encounter obstacles or find that our path is taking longer than expected. However, these experiences are not detours, but rather crucial aspects of our journey that lead us to where we need to be when the timing is right.
So, to our cherished customers and those embarking on their spiritual journey or in search of hope, remember - divine timing has a plan for you. It may not be evident right now, but trust in the process and have faith. After all, the universe works in mysterious ways.
