The ancestral territory Mhuysqa has seven sacred lagoons in which the history of creation is narrated. These sacred lagoons are energetic nodes of the territory where energy has a high vibration. In indigenous thought the lagoons are the wombs of mother earth where the masculine seed left by the sun joins the feminine seed that is in the water. From the union of these two seeds originates life on earth. In the Mhuysqa ritual called "running the earth" the indigenous people walk through the seven sacred lagoons. This tour of the territory is a way of returning to the origin following the idea of cyclical time. In cyclic time, each time we return to the origin we understand the lessons learned along the way. At the origin - the sacred house - we are prepared to restart the path. Cyclic time is ruled by the moon and transformation.
