Ayni, a word from the Andes, is a concept that all things are connected. If we live in generosity and abundance, the universe will reciprocate that abundance. It's a way of life that teaches balance with the Earth and love for all living things. Join Erin Lucero as she weaves together the teachings of Tantric Yoga and Peruvian Shamanism to find that love, balance, and harmony in our own lives, and to rekindle that connection with the World.

The ancient sages and shamans understood our connection with all life, and we can look to their wisdom to uncover these long-forgotten secrets. Erin shares this wisdom and her own journey of self-discovery and transformation. She offers simple yet powerful practices to try at home. She shows you how to listen to your inner intuition, to find relaxation and grounding, and to transform your fears into powerful strengths. She shows that the world can be full of hope and healing and that we all have superpowers waiting to be discovered.

All the answers we seek are already inside us, and as we rediscover that love and wisdom, we can make the world a beautiful place of love, balance, and harmony. We can create a world of Ayni.

A Note from the Author on the Second Edition. The Updated Second Edition - Wisdom is ever evolving. As I came upon the two-year anniversary of this book's publication, I reflected on how my own understanding of the wisdom in this book has changed and grown. The concept of Ayni teaches us that we are all connected and the world is a place of abundance and reciprocity. That truth will never change. But in my journey, I have gone deeper and explored further parts of the Medicine Wheel that I only touched on in the first edition. Hummingbird and Eagle medicine is slow to unfold, and these lessons have been powerful in my life. I humbly offer my additional understandings of these practices and teachings two years on. Creating a second edition, I hope to get this book into more hands, because these teachings are needed now more than ever.Finding our inner truth, love and courage is needed so we can shine brightly in a dark world. Remembering that we are all connected, from the bees to the stars, is vital as we create a new and healed world.
