A Workshop on Carlos Castaneda's Tensegrity

Dreaming Well-Being Forward

May 14 & 15, 2011
Mexico City, Mexico

Men and women who lived in Mexico in ancient times, whose expertise was to deal with awareness, believed that human beings are the beholders of a most peculiar dualism. They were not referring to traditional dualisms such as body and mind or matter and spirit, but to the dualism between the 'self' and something they called the energy body.

They considered the 'self' to be a holistic unit which includes both: body and mind, matter and spirit together; and they defined the energy body as a particular conglomerate of energy fields, belonging to each of us individually, that has the capability of being transformed into a perfect replica of the 'self,' and vice versa: they believed that the 'self' has the capability of being transformed into a perfect replica of the energy body, that is to say, a conglomerate of sheer energy fields.

- Carlos Castaneda

 

Acknowledging that our energy fields affect our physical, mental and emotional state, the seers of ancient Mexico believed that our physical, mental and emotional health begins and ends with our energetic well-being. Those seers saw that through a continuous connection with our energetic nature - its well-being, joy, appreciation and compassion - one can maintain and ultimately heal the 'self' as well as dream well-being forward for themselves and others.

In this workshop, participants will:

  • Look at their family lineage with regard to wellness and illness, and so become more aware of the state of physical, mental and emotional health into which they were born;
  • Identify and acknowledge the strengths and well-being of their ancestors;
  • Begin to clear away any limiting ideas and reactions they may have inherited or adapted related to illness by reviewing key scenes from their lives when someone close to them and when they themselves were sick, so as to then allow the pure and healing energy of their energy body to enter in;
  • Bathe in the healing energy of a special movement or 'magical pass,' circulating and renewing the flow between one's energy fields and 'self;'
  • Sit in a circle of fellow 'healers' - one by one, each will be the center of a group of fellow practitioners intending physical, mental and emotional health;
  • Leave the workshop with a list of personal 'healing measures' - designed by each practitioner themselves in accordance with their family lineage, their energy body and the loving intent of fellow practitioners.

Tensegrity is the modern practice of the warrior-traveler’s path with heart which don Juan Matus taught his four students: Carlos Castaneda, Florinda Donner-Grau, Taisha Abelar and Carol Tiggs. The word ‘tensegrity’ was coined by an architect, scientist, engineer, global thinker and dreamer whom Carlos Castaneda admired: R. Buckminster Fuller. Fuller described tensegrity as a process of tensional integrity—the inherent interdependence of structures such as cells, bodies, and solar systems which are held together by a continuous web of tension (such as gravity) holding together discontinuous islands of compression (such as the sun, planets and moons in the solar system).
    As a modern practice of shamanism, Tensegrity means adapting to our own energy, the energy of sun and stars, the air, water, the land, and of its inhabitants in a way that supports the interdependent integrity of the community that we are, as individual and collective beings. The tools that can help us to do this include the ancient energy-enhancing movements and breaths known as magical passes, as well as tracking and dreaming exercises, all of which we will do in this workshop.
    Tracking exercises are: guided self-examination exercises practiced individually and with a peer witness, which allow one to track not only our physical patterns, but also our related mental and emotional patterns and their consequential behaviors and judgments, which we inherited from our lineage and cultures.
    We can direct the energy and awareness gained from this review to access what don Juan Matus called freedom of perception—the freedom to move past any limiting interpretations of our lineage, upbringing and culture to perceive energy directly, and to dream true interdependence—new possibilities of working with others and with the earth–wherever we are, possibilities which spring from an open heart, from bringing one’s best to the interchange.
