MAPPING TOTAL PERCEPTION - Ontario 2001

These magical passes aim at opening the gates for dreaming and at reaching the energy body. The Shamans of Ancient Mexico believed that certain areas on the physical body are, in fact, energetic openings that are directly connected with the energy body.

These passes are done with the aid of a so-called 'leather weight'. This is no more than a weight (about 200-300 gram) with a leather wrapping for comfort.

When there is being referred to 'pulling up energy', then the following procedure must be followed: from the feet up to the point where the weight is, all the muscles are tensed, starting at the feet, the calves, the knees, and up to the thighs and buttocks. It is of great importance to put a lot of pressure on the point between the genitals and the anus, to really pull energy up from the feet by contracting this center, then direct the energy to where the weight is. Hold for a while and let go. When lying on the stomach, always look to the left.

a) PHYSICAL BODY: start with mapping left and right feet as usual (exactly as in the beginning of the Santa Barbara mapping ("The Awakening"), for example)

b) ENERGY BODY: open 1st gate: gently circle mapping the area under the big toes (either one foot and then the other or both feet same time), very gently, like a moth landing....the energy body doesnÕt need us to hammer at the door, it only needs an insinuation...here you may already feel a fluttering or stirring in other parts of your body...

c) back to PHYSICAL BODY: squeeze up energy from feet to knees (both legs together), several times.

d) ENERGY BODY: open 2nd gate: tap with back of hands along the inside of calves, being attentive to the tingling sensation it produces.

e) PHYSICAL BODY: lie on your back; dip feet in dark sea of awareness, next left foot dips out, in, forward, and then goes up. So, the left leg stays up a long time, stretched with sole to the ceiling. The other leg has its foot pushing down on floor and the hands are under buttocks, so we fully support the leg that's up. Then, map with two fingers all along the back of leg to the buttocks a few times, first by tapping, then by squeezing.
Stretch the leg outward and fold it over the other leg, till its knee touches the floor. Try to rest both shoulders on the floor as well if you can. Breathe here a few deep breaths extending the stretch.
Then with the hand that's closest (for left leg, it's the right hand), map a circle spiralling in the middle of the outer left thigh half-way between knee and hip. Find the sensitive spot on the thigh-bone, vibrate and push it. Next, roll on your back bringing the left knee close to chest, hugging it, and slightly gently rocking. Relax and extend the leg.
Mirror.

f) Perform The Infinity Breath

g) Lying face down (head to left), put leather-weight on tail bone (3rd gate); pull up energy. Follow with the corresponding breath to this gate: Two-lines breath.

h) Lying on back, put weight on belly, just below navel (4th gate). Pull up energy. then, circle breath.

i) Weight on point between shoulder blades. Pull up energy through this 5th gate. Zig Zag breath.

j) Lying on back. Weight on solar plexus (6th gate). Pull up energy from vectors. (As usual, stretching all the fibres, bringing up the energy, letting it flow, hold it a moment at the leather weight, and the release exhaling slowly, calmly, letting the area of the weight be "flooded") Inhale, pull up a little to sitting position (but not completely), to perform awakening the calves.

k) Place the leather weight on the back of neck (7th gate). As usual, the head is turned to the left. Bring up energy, inhaling, stretching and warming the fibres all the way to the weight and hold it there a moment and release slowly exhaling. Take pauses to feel the effect on the area. Several times. Turn around.
Perform the Half Circles.

l) Finish with 'Breathing Infinity'.

Breathing in Infinity:
Put hands on thighs. Inhale dragging the hands up the torso till the arms are fully stretched out overhead. Hold the breath as you drop the hands horizontally flat in front of you. With a quick flick of the wrists, the fingertips now point up, the palms out in front. Now, exhale bringing the hands near the shoulders with the palms still out, then turn the palms to face the ground and push them down alongside the torso.

The Two Lines Breath:
Put the hands on the knees. Inhale dragging them up the torso till the arms are fully extended overhead. Now, exhaling, slide the hands back down to the knees with only the index and middle fingers extended. When they arrive at the knees, all fingers stretch out, pointing down, and they wriggle (so do the toes) as if they're spraying energy. The exhalation ends here.
Now inhale, dragging the hands with only two fingers extended, up the torso, overhead. Then push with the balls of both hands firmly down in between the legs, exhaling all air (bend the knees).

The Circle Breath:
Inhale, putting the fingertips of the left hand on the right shoulderfront, finish inhaling by bringing the left shoulder as far to the front as you can. Exhale, and relax while sliding the hand down in numerous circles over the belly until the index finger comes to rest on the belly button. Inhale there, then firmly exhale, pushing the hands (palms flat and facing, but not touching, fingers pointing down) down between the legs (bend the knees). Mirror.

The Zig-Zag Breath:
Put the fingertips of both hands on the sternum. Inhale, pushing both shoulders forward as far as you can. This way, the backs of the hands are practically touching one another. Then exhale, sliding the palms of the hands down the torso in an intertwining zig-zaggy way. End with the palms resting on the pelvis, thumbs touching, fingers pointing down. Inhale in position. Now exhale going up the torso in exactly the same way. Inhale again with fingertips on the sternum, pushing the shoulders forward. Then exhale sharply as you push with the balls of both hands down in between the legs (bend the knees).

Awakening The Calves:
Inhale, pull up a little to sitting position (but not completely), slap with the back of the left hand on the left calf, slap with palm of the left hand on the right calf, make a cutting motion between knees, scoop with the left hand energy up to solar plexus, exhale bringing the hand up to chest level and stretch fingers pointing up from the chest pushing the hand out and up. Mirror.

The Half Circles:
Put both hands in front of the pubis, the left hand cupping the right, both palms down. Bring both arms laterally overhead, where the hands meet again now with the palms up, the left once more cupping the right. Go back down the same way. Do this movement, up and down, three times or six or nine... Then repeat an equal amount of times with the right hand cupping the left.
