Ama-Deus is an energy healing technique that has been used for the last 6,000 years by the Guarani Indians who live deep in the Amazon jungle of central Brazil, they are one of the oldest cultures still in existence in the world today. Ama-Deus was first brought to the western world by Alberto Aguas, a third generation Brazilian healer. He lived alongside and studied the practices of the shamans for many years, and shared and taught Ama-Deus healing until his death in 1992.
As the Guarani have always lived very close to nature, it's easy to understand how their environment has influenced their spiritual methodology, resulting in a simple but extremely effective shamanic language.
According to their belief system there is no such thing as 'illness'. In their view everything is Spirit, and it is outside forces which cause imbalance to occur. When the outside force (such as an unwanted spirit or energy) is removed, then the effect upon the physical body will be released and balance will be restored once more. The Guarani shamans apply their knowledge of working with energy when carrying out healing, knowing that the power is coming from a single greater Force. Their words for God and Love are interchangeable, and they believe that it is the 'love' which is the healing power, and they are simply the 'channelers' or transmitters of this healing energy.
Ama-Deus is a powerful, energy-based shamanic healing system that uses God's love and a series of ancient symbols (without names or colors), as vehicles for the energy transmission. The symbols are multidimensional, and therefore both specific in their application as well as wide-ranging in their scope.
Although the system is similar in some ways to Reiki as it seeks to balance the energy centers within the body, the Ama-Deus symbols are designed for more specialized actions than those used in Reiki.
Most of the techniques are visualized with the ‘Third Eye’, but the work can also be done using a hands-on approach. The system is based on the passage of energy through an effective channel created between man and Divinity, in other words an 'opened gate' for the Divine love, which works in us through the Heart chakra. This channel is activated by repeating a specific mantra three times, and is sustained by a breathing technique combined with a powerful visualization. The basic technique is extremely simple to learn.
As with Reiki and other energy healing modalities, Ama-Deus can be sent over long distances, and it can also be used in conjunction with other methods of healing. The practitioner is simply a channel for God's love, which is why Ama-Deus is known as a heart-based energy system. The healing energy is projected through intent and attunement with the energies of God and the symbols.
