Bringing
It Home, A Powerful Process
|
by Kris
Raphael
|
|
Bringing
it Home, a Daily Exercise (from the Nagual Series)
Here is an exercise that, if used properly, you
will use the rest of your life. It consists of bringing
your energy back to your core - the warrior's place
of power. It is in some ways similar to recapitulation
in that you are returning your energy back to self.
There are two benefits to the exercise; 1) It is
a powerful technique to reclaim your energy (it
takes substantial energy to progress on a growth
path) 2) It speeds up the processing of your issues
as it brings them back to self - the only place
where you can process your issues.
There are similar techniques in Tibet and India,
often guarded in esoteric schools. Any particular
school may use different parameters for the core
technique. For example, returning the energy of
self to each chakra, or, pulling the energy of self
out of each organ and body part and returning it
to the core of self. The technique I will describe
here involves reclaiming the energy we have left
in our present day life, our past, our future and
our probabilities.
As we go about living life we are continually extending
or projecting our energy out to our house, the place
we work, the people we interact with and so on.
We put out our energy but we don't reclaim it. It
remains scattered about in our outer (and inner)
worlds. We don't complete the cycle. We are an extension
of the Nagual. We eventually return to the Nagual.
But we don't return empty handed. We return with
all our life experiences and growth. The Nagual
completes its cycle when we return.
The same is true in our small worlds. We extend
our energy out to our world - people, places, things,
situations, but we we forget to complete the cycle.
We don't bring our energy back to self to be processed.
The technique described here is one to bring back
our energy to self. I call this technique 'Bringing
it Home.'
Part of the path of the warrior is to continually
find ways to reclaim our energy and power. The average
man/woman live their lives putting their energy
out into their worlds, but they never reclaim it.
They live in a constant state of energy depletion.
Many don't realize just how much energy it takes
for personal growth. The Toltecs realized this and
much of their emphasis is on conserving, reclaiming
and discovering energy and power.

So here is the technique:
Begin by doing what you need to do to relax and
slow down your thoughts. What ever technique works
best for you to center and quiet your mind is fine.
When you have quieted and become still begin to
scan your day, the people you interacted with, any
situations that stand out or caused an emotional
charge, your mood and so on. As you tune into your
day begin to bring it to where you are sitting right
now, in the moment. Go deeper into self, to the
core of self. This is the warrior's place of power,
deep in the middle of self, in the spinal column.
Like a magnet, or a powerful vortex, let the core
of your self bring the energy of your day back to
self, deep into the core. Bring each situation,
interaction, activity, wherever you have put out
your energy back to the core of self.
Continue the process until you sense that you have
brought back all of the energy you have put out
during the day. This can take 15 minutes a half
an hour or longer.
Now begin to re-focus on your past, your childhood
all of the way up to now. Scan for stuck energy
pockets, charged emotions and pull the energy out
of them bringing it back to the core of self. Follow
the emotional charges (they may not go in chronological
order) and pull the energy out of each one of them
as they come up.
Place your focus on your back. Sense the energy
at your back and energetically move back into your
past. Gather up all of the energy of your past and
bring it back to the here and now, deep in the core
of self. The more stuck energy you are able to reclaim
from the past and bring to the core of self, the
quicker you will process your past and free yourself
from its chains.
You can use breathing in these processes to help
facilitate going out to the energy you have left
and bringing it back. As your chest expands with
your breath, expand out to where you have left your
energy. As your chest falls and contracts bring
the energy back, deep into the core of self.
Reclaiming the energy of the past can take a considerable
amount of time and needs to be done repeatedly to
clear yourself. You won't do it all in one sitting.
Next, re-focus on your future, your dreams, hopes
and desires. Move your attention to the front of
your body and energetically move forward into your
future. Scan your goals, your aspirations. Begin
to pull your energy out of them and bring it back
to the core of self. Some people have resistance
to removing their energy out of their future. They
think it will stop their dreams from manifesting.
Actually, the opposite is true. When your energy
is stuck in future dreams it cannot flow. You are
stuck in one point in your assemblage point. Also,
by bringing your energy back to self you reclaim
the energy necessary to manifest that which you
want.
A side note here; when you bring your energy back
to the core of self you open the door to your inner
nagual. You connect to higher aspects of self that
'see'. It takes the connection to the the core of
self with sufficient energy to 'see'. When I access
my inner nagual I begin with a streamlined version
of this technique.
After you have brought your energy back from the
future re-focus on your probabilities. Move your
attention to the sides of your body and move out.
Your probabilities are lines where part of your
self literally split off from your core self due
to wounding and/or major decisions and actions you
have taken in your life. You may or may not be aware
of your probabilities. In any case, energetically
move out from your sides and, reclaim your energy
bringing it back to self.
The full technique, as described above, can be done
once a week. But it is good to do at least a scaled
down version daily. During the day I often, like
a magnet, bring my energy back to the core of self.
By doing so I reconnect with my essence and restore
depleted energy. It also helps me process the events
of the day.
Love
and Light,
Kris

Drama,
Petty Tyrants and Allies |
by:
Mark Sutton |
|
|
The universe we live in is predatorily
in that all is connected and feeds upon itself. Everything is a
part of the food chain. Don Juan spoke of the dangers a warrior
encounters on the path. Death is always stalking us and predators
lie in wait at every turn of our journey.
Currently, I am a defendant in a
legal proceeding and being prepared for an upcoming hearing. I
felt my anxiety building with the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
From past experience I have learned that, even if you are right,
anything can happen in a courtroom since law is abstract and
rarely ends up being black or white. Kind of like life its self.
With this drama came the
realization that things are always fluid and unsettled since they
are continually changing and death is always ready to tap us on
the shoulder. Normally we are not aware of this continual
uncertainly until we experience the drama and chaos created by
petty tyrants or some loved ones death.
In this moment of clarity it
becomes apparent how easy it is to slip into the illusion that our
outer world is under control and constant. In this slumber we
become ridged resulting in atrophy of the awareness. When the
sting of the petty tyrant presents itself we either experience the
shock factor jolting us back into awareness or we remain slap dab
in the middle of the drama.
One feeds on the other. Without the
petty tyrants in our lives, we might fall into our slumber never
waking up. Like the curbs marking the boundaries of the city
streets, so do drama and petty tyrants mark the paths of
awareness. It would be difficult if not impossible in this life to
grow without the aid of these predators.
It is from the taming of these
predators that we create allies. Our greatest weaknesses can be
transformed into our greatest strengths. Our greatest petty
tyrants can become our greatest teachers. The Native Americans
would judge a man’s greatness by the greatness of his enemies. So
if the drama is strong and the tyrants are many count yourself
blessed. You have a greater chance for grow and evolve than most.
Love & Light, Mark

Mystery
Guest Quote Revealed!
Last issue's quote:
What else can you do for your potential? …To put your
human self with your energetic self is the only way,
it is the only way, you are going to become an unlimited
potential human being. The only way for you
to reach your unlimited potential is to put your energy
and human self together. You can not do it any other
way.
If you are not experiencing unlimitedness, then you
are not using energy. If you are not experiencing
your potential then you are not using your mind. If
you are feeling limited, you are feeling limited
you are stuck and bound with energy. If you’re not
feeling potential, you are bound in the mind.

Fourth Corner
Don't Make Assumptions
Drama is one of the parasite’s favorite games. We assume that
drama is great fun, that it adds interest, hype and intrigue to
our lives. Again, drama comes from the parasite. The parasite
assumes this energetic uproar makes us important, but it is only
a FALSE feeling of self importance. Drama is energetically
draining and it doesn’t contribute to our lives in any way at
all (only to our dream of hell). Life just IS: sometimes it is
more enjoyable than others, sometimes it is more challenging
that others, that is all. The next time you have a dramatic
experience, check to see if you are assuming that your terrible
experiences make your life eventful.

Toltec Turkey

This is the time of year when we all like to eat, drink and be
merry! And why not? It is a time to celebrate and enjoy the
closing of one year and the opening of a new year.
Of course, this is also the time of year when
people often put on weight- too much good food and too little
awareness! As a Toltec warrior be sure to keep your awareness
abut you. While enjoying the holiday and the good food you can
also take advantage of an opportunity of an excellent not-doing:
eating with awareness.
Not-doings are a Toltec exercise in awareness.
Life is very automated: we wake up, get ready, go to work, come
home, go to bed and then get ready to do it all over again. We
just do these, we don't necessarily even think about or notice
them. For example, think about how you brush your teeth in the
morning. Which side of your mouth do you start on? Do you even
know? Pretend like you have your tooth brush in your hand and
lift it to brush your teeth. Which side do you go to? Do you
have to think about it all? Probably not. We have developed
habits which no longer require any of our awareness at all,
which puts us on auto-pilot. This is a blind spot for us in the
sense that when we are unaware, or doing, then we are closed
down in our thinking, feeling and behaviors: we are absent from
our own lives.
In a not-doing a Toltec warrior works to bring
their awareness back to themselves. They become very conscious
of what it is they are doing by doing it with awareness. This
awareness is triggered by not-doing things in the usual way.
With teeth brushing, for example, you can bring awareness by
brushing with your non-dominant hand or by deliberately starting
to brush your front teeth instead of the sides. By doing things
in a different way that forces you to think about them and to
bring awareness to yourself.
Not-doing your usual holiday eating is fun and
makes your holiday eating more memorable. For this not-doing try
one of the following techniques:
-
Chew each mouthful twenty times
-
Eat with your non-dominant hand
-
Focus on the flavors of your food
-
Eat the food on your plate in a different order than you
normally would
-
Try eating something different (perhaps something that you
don't eat or don't usually like; or try not eating your
favorite food).
Not-doings are
tricky because it is very easy for us to fall back into our auto
pilot mode, a mode in which we are doing again. Every time you
find yourself doing again just bring your awareness and your
focus back to your not-doing technique.
Turn your
holiday feast into Toltec Turkey not-doing and you will have
also been present (not checked out on auto pilot) for the
holidays. You will remember and enjoy the holidays much more!
Love
& Light, Kalyn

The
Instrument
|
by
David Pawlak
|
|
|
It would
seem, that all who read this would read the same thing. The
words are the same for each, but that is about all. We all see
things differently. It’s not a matter of knowledge,
understanding or intelligence, it’s a matter of perception.
We all
perceive, and if our perception were pure, clean and clear, we
would all see the truth behind the folly of the Dream of the
Planet. The difference is awareness. Listen!
As I read
this, I can feel “me”. The words are in my head. I am that which
feels their meaning. It’s as though I were an instrument, that
is touched and a chorus of sensation and interpretation unfolds
automatically. These words are the touch, how they resonate, how
I feel as they strum through me, is what makes “me”.
My life’s
experience has built my “resonances”. It is this experience
that has made me more or less susceptible to one sensation or
desire or fear over another. If I open my awareness, perhaps I
can feel the preferences, the resistances.
My three
bodies are the instrument. My physical body is a receiver and a
mover. If I think about it, nothing has much meaning to my
physical body. It receives primary signals, and does what it is
told (when it can).
My
emotional body is the motivator. Do I do anything if I am not
motivated in one way or another? If I “like”, I am more apt to
“do”. My mind may tell me I “must”, but if I don’t “like” or
“want”, my mind must make a much stronger case. My emotional
body gives meaning to the crude signals my physical body
generates.
My mental
body is the logic, the structure. This body makes sense out of
everything. This body “locks” me in to stability. This body can
be very perceptive, but in the name of logic and order, it must
maintain stability.
There is
tremendous interaction between the mental and emotional bodies.
It is here the majority of the resonances have been built.
Technically, resonances are “tuned filtering”. Filtering! I do
it automatically and don’t even know it.
Take a
second right now, and feel the energy of life as it passes
through your three bodies. The physical sensations, how I feel
about them, and what it is that my mind makes of them. My mind
says all’s well. Nothing unusual. Nothing unusual, other than I
AM. Other than that I am an entity that lives and breaths in a
world that once was Eden.
So what do
you think about that!?

and Light - Dave

THE
TOLTEC MASTERIES - AUDIO COURSE: An
Alternative |
|
For
those who are unable to work directly with a teacher, or
for those who wish the experience the energy of that comes
through the dialog, Kris has created the Toltec Masteries
Audio Course.
TESTIMONIAL:
Here is a testimonial. (Thank you Stephanie!)
"I want to tell you how awesome
the process at the end of the second CD is. I have
never experienced anything like it.
What a miracle I am! Thank you
so much for helping me to see this. Although I have been
studying for over a year, there are many things on your
CDs that bring understanding where I had been uncertain.
What I see is your way of defining in a simple yet deeply
clear manner, many concepts that are new to the mind. You
seem to do it in a way that causes no mental or emotional
resistance.
Your manner of teaching reminds
me of the facets of a crystal. Clear and sharp. Simple
yet awesome." --Stephanie R. |
