Master Libre has baptized this alchemical method “the noble and forgotten art of washing the feet” and defines it in his books as “a magic-stick for personal transformation.”
The forgotten art of washing feet reaches far back into ancient & esoteric teachings that weave themselves through the wisdom traditions of the Far East right up to modern Western & Middle Eastern traditions which make reference to it in historical & biblical writings of the past 2000 years.
The power of this act is inherent in its simplicity & the intention brought to it; that of devotion & service to ourselves & to our fellow human beings, focused on liberation from ignorance & illusion. This is a method of release and healing and a symbol of forgiveness and brotherhood.
“There is only one real way out of suffering and ignorance – the one that is opened through our understanding of ourselves.” – Libre
Our feet are a store house of memory & information. They are a mirror and a real expression of what we are and live. These held patterns are the origin of our pain and suffering and constitute the characteristics of our personality.

Loving massage of our feet moves the stored information into the Now, allowing us greater awareness of these past events & carries us naturally to an authentic experience of ourselves. It introduces soft, subtle, nurturing patterns, and uncovers our full divine potential, that begins to replace, transmute & release old destructive patterns. The door to our self-knowledge, love and acceptance is opened.

The main purpose of this “soul bath” is to touch our heart. With this sacred act we are liberated of impurities. Our energy and emotional fields that were charged with fear pain & suffering, keeping us unconsciously paralyzed & unable to progress, are transformed.
This ancient & effective method was re-introduced in the last century by Master Libre who was born is Bilbao Spain with severe physical ailments that caused chronic pain, deformation, suffering, disability & eventually, complete blindness.
This great suffering led to many years seeking relief from therapists, healers, medicines, & doctors from all over the world. Although helpful these methods gave only temporary relief.
In this state of physical, mental and spiritual slavery that he called illness, Libre realized that the truth lay in the depths of oneself. We will not be released from illness & suffering until we go to the root of the problem, the very depth of what feeds our illness & suffering & there, within us, transform it.
After years of exploring every conceivable path to healing & enlightenment, Libre identified three profound messages shared by all wisdom traditions throughout the ages…
1. Purify yourself, your mind, your unconsciousness & your ignorance, and you will be free.
2. Walk on the path of Love & Compassion, & you will be happy.
3. Nobody can cure you, only you can cure yourself.
“At last, with this understanding ‘The Forgotten Art of Foot Washing’ came into my hands: the tool that would bring me liberation from suffering and the healing of the Soul. My search was over and I began to walk the true path, the way of Love and Compassion.
From then on the real self-curing and liberation process started. The knowledge of life, existence and illness started awakening within me, transforming my ignorance into wisdom, my sadness into joy and my pain into happiness. I became conscious of the self-deception and the confusion of the human being. I found myself and I found the source of compassion inside of me. After a long and deep quest with this centuries-old art I now invite all of the seekers and travellers that want to know themselves to practice it.
The liberation begins in oneself and that is why we must put this wonderful tool into practice, first of all with each of us experiencing our own truth.
It is clear to me now that this tool will be needed on this planet in these times of great change, when new problems and new illnesses are appearing. It will bring us to the healing of our very essence: THE SOUL.” - Libre
Manfred Janash'Ohea Paier received the initiation of the “Forgotten Art of Foot Washing” from Master Libre himself in 2005. He now transmits this discipline of self-liberation and alchemical transformation to hundreds of people a year through workshops & seminars in Europe, Canada & South America, also applying the tool to persons of all ages, from birth to death … wherever and whenever his help is received openly. Manfred is a true inspiration full of knowledge, friendship, love & compassion.
