RESONATE


THE MATRIX OF SOUL

By Yari

When I was a child I "knew" intuitively how to guide a shamanic journey and I did this often with my brothers and friends. Recently I have modified this simple technique. I find it very effective for recovering parts of our soul's energy that we have left strewn around. I call the process "soul consolidation" or "soul defragmentation".

The technique for this process involves guiding the person through a guided meditation to the center of the world (see my article "The Way to Tlalocan"). At that point you allow them to see a window in the cave where scenes appear. After having them view 5 scenes, you go back through them and find the one they are pulled most to. When you find it, you have them crawl through the opening of the cave into the scene and them guide them to interact and explore there. Often the traveler views a dysfunctional situation that they repair in some manner. At the end of the journey they recover any energy of theirs that is locked in the scene through a visualization.

I often go out in nature with a long-term friend who is a high-priest in the Wicca tradition. We go out in nature and do spontaneous ritual and celebration of the forces of life and power. I work primarily with the Constellation of Forces.

In 2002 I had my friend lead me on a soul-consolidation voyage. We were out in nature near a lake. In the vision, I encountered a Polynesian man dressed in a grass skirt. He was bear-chested, standing next to an ocelot, and they were both wearing an identical gold necklace with a talisman on it.

One thing he told me of interest is that there were more islands in times past, so they were able to, and did, voyage from the South Pacific to South America (hence the ocelot). He brought back the ocelot to the islands as a mascot for their mystical order.

He showed me how the matrix of our energy bodies is affected by the matrix of the planetary energy body--which holds all the history, pain, and joy that ever existed. He told me that the planetary energy body interacts with and affects our personal energy bodies. Making connections between points on our matrix and points on the planetary matrix could have a positive or adverse affect. For example someone's personal matrix could be slightly damaged by the "European middle-ages" part of that matrix. He said that this may not have to do with past lives per say, but rather a short circuiting between the two matrixes. In this regard, the pain you feel may not always be your own, but rather a result of the parts of the planetary matrix that you are linked up to--and there are many of these links. This could also mean that the past lives that you "see" for yourself are not literally that, but rather a symbolic representation of what is happening in the interaction of the matrixes.

On a more comprehensive level there is a solar system matrix encompassing all the planets in the solar system and of course we can imagine even more expansive matrixes. When we travel in a shamanic voyage, we are traveling to one of these connection points in another matrix and from that we see imagery that represents that point and how it is affecting us. By repairing the situation we see, and by pulling our energy back from the scene, we are helping to repair the damage from any short-circuiting that occurred when the connection between matrixes was made.
