I learned about the beautiful and simple principle of Ayni: sacred reciprocity while I lived in Ecuador. Ayni is a Quechua word and concept that is the backbone of the worldview in their ancestral culture. The Quechua people are the descendants of the Inca people who are native to Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. In the teaching of ayni, they live in a commitment of mutualism that is beneficial to all the beings and the Earth itself. You can always feel safe to give because that energy will always be returned to you. This is much different than the transactional way we live in modern society.
In this episode, I explore the concept of sacred reciprocity, how it is our duty and gift of giving back to do integration work, and how this principle can reach into every area of your life.
