Soul, Spirit & Poq’po
Coming home to your living energy field
Soul, Spirit & Poq’po
A different way of seeing who you are — not as layers to climb through, but as a ground to embody.
Your soul, your spirit, your poq’po — what truly lives within you?
Many people are taught that they “have” an aura: a coloured layer floating around the body, often imagined in separate fields. But in the Andean cosmovision, we do not speak of an aura. We speak of your poq’po — your living energy field.
Your poq’po is not something detached from you, but the living weave of your being. It carries your history, your patterns, your family and cultural imprints. It is the space where your experiences are stored, sensed and transformed.
The soul is not broken and does not need to be repaired. Healing is not about becoming someone else, or climbing towards a higher state. It is about remembering your wholeness — learning to stand again in the ground of who you already are.
In this vision, energy is never judged as good or bad. There is no hierarchy, no fear, no moral ladder to climb. Energy simply flows, or it stagnates. When you enter into relationship with all that moves — even the uncomfortable — there is nothing to push away. Growth comes from presence, not from striving.
Here, there is nothing to fix. No dogma. No “higher vibration” to chase.
Just an invitation to remember.
Poq’po
Your poq’po is not just where your soul lives, it is your soul’s living energy field, the energetic cocoon of your being.
It is not an aura with coloured layers, but a dynamic, sensing field that both connects and separates you from the living universe.
It is the place where your history, emotions, patterns, and relationships are stored, much like an energetic DNA. Every experience leaves its imprint here. It carries the memory of your family and culture, but also the seeds of your potential.
When your poq’po becomes heavy or stagnant, you feel disconnected, absent, or restless. When it is clear, your energy flows naturally, your choices become lighter, and your spirit can shine through.
Your poq’po is not abstract. It is the living ground of your humanity, the space where your soul learns, grows, and remembers its wholeness.
Spirit & Soul
In the Andean cosmovision, spirit and soul are not the same.
-
Soul (Anchanchu / Poq’po) is your humanness, the ground of your lived experience. It carries your emotions, your patterns, your history, your relationships. It is where everything you encounter in life is felt, stored, and transformed.
-
Spirit (Nuna) is the Inka seed within you a drop of mystery, the spark of the Great Life. It is whole, untouched, and holds your deepest potential.
Your soul is not something broken that needs repair. It is your human expression, tender, imperfect, alive. The more you dare to inhabit your humanness with presence, the closer you come to the Inka seed that lives at your core.
Healing in this tradition is not about escaping upwards into “higher” realms. It is about descending into what is already here, your body, your emotions, your human story. By embodying your soul fully, you make space for the Inka seed of spirit to shine through, awakening the vast potential it carries.
No hierarchy. No striving to be “better”. Only the invitation to remember that spirit is already alive within you, waiting to be revealed as you come home to your own humanity.
Sami & Hucha – The two qualities of living energy
All energy is simply living energy. In the Andean way we speak of two qualities:
Sami: refined, light energy that nourishes, uplifts and flows when your poq’po is open and in harmony.
Hucha: heavy, stagnant energy that builds through stress, tension, disconnection or imbalance. Not “negative” in a moral sense, simply energy that has become dense.
The Andean way of working with energy is practical and direct:
Hucha is not judged or rejected.
Through specific practices, it can be released and transformed, much like water squeezed from a sponge.
Nature absorbs and composts hucha effortlessly, creating space for sami to return.
As you attune to the dance of sami and hucha in your field, you begin to live in reciprocity (ayni) with all life. Your energy clears, your presence steadies, and your capacity to respond instead of react naturally deepens.
You don’t need to believe or prove anything.
This is not about dogma, but about relationship with life.
