I will take a long time to assimilate what we have been given. Today is the last meeting of three weeks a friend and I have been learning, working and sharing with Lujan Matus. A time filled with wonder and intensity, a sharp encounter, strong and loving.

A year ago, the book: “The Art of Stalking Parallel perception” impacted my life. There are events that change the perspective over the world. A valuable encounters that changes your path positively and definitely. This book touched my heart, so clearly and deeply that started to prepare myself for the encounter that would happen one year later.

Long ago, in a ceremony with plants, my spirit was lost and then was invaded by an external entity with which kept a gruelling struggle for several years. At that ceremony, the blue-green light of my heart went away and following a very fine thread went far away to a distant dark region. The love and affection of my partner managed to bring me back, but an entity of that region installed itself in the chest.

That was an important reason to seek the help of the Nagual, my third week of work was planned for the program of “shamanic exorcism.”

You have been scared -he said, three weeks ago, the second day of our meeting. Lujan “saw” me and told me I had “something” external weighing on my heart. Lujan asked my permission, for him to move it away.

At that point, being with Lujan had been giving me the feeling of being with someone who is empty, and through his emptyness I could see the depth and beauty of a human being. Simple, something so simple and natural. I was feeling a bubble of energy that weakened my usual mental processes and allowed my heart to open.

That is the feeling that remains clearer when I feel or think about him. Without hesitation I gave him my permission.

In those years I went through many moods, processes and meetings, desperate battles I had with this entity, many kinds of healing, some helped, but I always had a strange presence in my spirit and my body. Gradually I was getting used to live with it despite the weight that it meant. Part of me struggled desperately but the matter was very large and slowly I was losing myself in the deep.

The night after Lujan asked me my permition my heart felt light and returned to a state of peace and tranquillity that I haven’t lived for several years. That was at the second night of our meeting.

Now it has been three weeks of looking into the vastness, feeling the soft and penetrating wind of something that is beyond any syntax.

I have been sharing with a jovial and smiling being, which appears in all his power and freshness.
His look does not result in the shade, it constantly stalks it and doesn’t allow it to emerge through our behaviour. A pure looking travels into your heart.

Gratitude and love

P.S. The revival of energy, strength and fullness of my heart has been gradual, it was the beginning of lightness, peace and tranquility. Now this revival is intense.

Now, many memories are recovering and activating. I feel an increase in intensity in everything, I feel the importance of every thing, every thought, every word, every relationship. I feel like everything has a bearing on reality. I feel like time is precious and our responsibility is significant and relevant. Have opened in me, deep understandings and my heart felt in the intensity of it all. It is wonderful and is a privilege to live in this moment.

It has been two months doing Dragon’s tears and Tapping Energy, and feelling the effect and the transformation in my body an spirit, specially in my heart, and from my heart thank you for this gift of vital power.

Hunting for confidence

Why do you have fear of me? Ask me Lujan just after we sat at our first meeting to learn Dragon’s Tears. At that moment I recognized that the estrange sensation I have been experience was fear. I also felt treated by the direct question and wanted to answer with the truth I said “I suppose I am fear of the unknown”.

Staring directly at my eyes he said that I was afraid of him and I did not thrust him but that during our encounter I needed to put this at the side. I agreed with this. He added that he never ever will hurt me anyhow. This affirmation entered in me and touched some deep fibers of my being. Looking at his eyes, amazed, I really saw the existence of this space of trust, I relaxed and the fear and distrust vanished really quickly.

I was amazed by the fact I had not to fight my fear to go away. Towards the end of this first day I had the opportunity to tell him I trust him and with my words I sealed a pact with my purpose for the reconnection with my innerchild and also with this sweet man who has shown me that afternoon the possible existence of confidence.

Another day, after practicing Dragon’s Tears, I realized that my original fear was not just the fear to open my heart and being hurt again but there was something else that didn’t want to be discovered. Lujan ask me what it was in my heart saying that it is normal that people started to cry with the practice of the Tears. I started to talk about a situation with my husband. Explaining it I didn’t want to go to any place of drama, complain or despair even if I wanted to beg for a solution to it. So I used my pure observation, I was putting my best in the conversation to really get where was I stocked in my situation.

Lujan listened to me attentively and then he asked me why I was feeling so sad? I turned to see my sadness and something appeared instead, he asked me about the change saying that the best way to act is always saying exactly how you feel. I was already crying but I decided to see what my sadness was exactly. One thought, or more exactly, information that some days before meeting Lujan had came to me seamed to open my mouth. “I feel shame of myself” I said crying as a kid. He stood up and urged me to hug him “come, don’t shame yourself, please”. I went into his arms letting drop this horrible feeling from my entire body. Then I went to blow my nose and in the bathroom I brought together myself and felt that it wasn’t that hard to announce the shame.

In other day we were discussing some details for a project with Lujan and a friend. It seamed they were very happy and engaged with the project and suddenly Lujan asked me what I was thinking. I jumped on top of the conversation talking about stuff that was just filling the nothing. Trying to pull all my attention to something I was just inventing as I had nothing to say, but lots of feelings to hide.

Lujan observed me and ask me to stop that. I did not know what to stop and he said, very seriously: “stop to try to control me, it hurts me, I don’t feel good when you do that”. I did not understand that my reply was trying to control him but instead to defend myself or to find explanations I stayed the more open as possible. He started to follow my mind in a so accurate way that he started to reveal to my own eyes my strategy to sabotage myself and my stalking.

Looking me directly to my eyes, Lujan asked me why. Why do I want to control him or anybody else? Of course! I knew, that is my shit, my unsolved problem, my blind spot. He continued, why do you fill excluded? That was painful and when I was about to feel shame something stopped me, the episode the day before and Lujan’s energy. I asked why I can not get rid of my shame and he said that I use my shame to control. That was more painful but I knew it was totally true. My eyes were totally full and dropping but I stayed with him, I was seeing the arrow going directly to the real prey.

He added that I have to stop to feel excluded because I am not excluded and I am using it to control others. Lujan said he was showing me how to hunt that shadow just after I saw the arrow crossing a space I haven’t seen before. I saw the forest; I saw the arrow turning to hurt the invisible prey hidden just in front of my eyes. Something really felt. Lujan said that the day before he missed it but that now he had hit the mark. I felt totally amazed, empty, in a state of mind I can not explain, I can just reflect on it as if I was finally free.

All is so simple, use to say Lujan, and it is. All the movement of energy that allows me to be able to see the shadow upon me was the direct effect of Lujan’s energy and knowledge. From the very first time I did Dragon’s Tears I knew that it is the most high technology to use true energy. It is real evolution for humanity, the recovery of ourselves. It is the magic of activating your completeness as energy in a very intuitive, elegant and beautiful way.

I have been practicing Tensegrity for 12 years and my body never was so happy and so fluid as it is practicing Dragon’s Tears. Each detail of the movement is a touch for the energy to flow, and so much energy is activated, so MUCH! It goes simple, you feel it, you follow it, you “don’t do”, you feel, you forget everything else, you forget yourself.

My encounter with the nagual Lujan Matus gave me three new dimensions: letting the stars to take the past, opening my heart to my true journey and training my body as a wonderful awake ship to navigate this world, these three are now me. The dust over the shoulders is taken by the wind and the sun of real magic is bright in all directions. It is time for a deep encounter with magic now. I know it is coming; it is inevitable, the awake-evolution of humans arrived.

All my gratitude, nagual.

As I made my way up to the house in which the Nagual was staying my heart was racing. I had been engaged in Skype conversations over the internet for over a year at this point. His countless lessons had changed the very course of my life. I walked a new path now far from where I began.

For all our conversations I had never actually met the man behind the voice. Little did I know how different life was about to become.

I stepped through the door and we made our first greetings. I was overwhelmed with the sense of having seen this man somewhere before. I could not get past the familiarity I felt as soon as we met. I had dreams of him before but I always dismissed them as normal dreams, reflecting what had been on my mind that day. But I could not dismiss how similar the man standing in front of me looked to the image I had in my head of him all along.

He had told me roughly how old he was but when I looked into his face he appeared to be about my age…20 years less than his. A trait he attributed to the Dragons Tears system I was about to learn. As we sat in his living room he fixed me with an unbending gaze. I had seen those eyes before. Now I knew how the field mouse must feel when the in inescapable eye of the hawk in on him.

I felt as if every unnecessary facet of my person was going to be burned away under his stare. Eventually I relaxed and we began our session. Later in the afternoon, after we had covered a few of the movements and were resting, Lujan walked over to a small table a collection of fresh fruit. He pick up a pineapple and ask “Can you smell this?” I was across the room about ten feet away. I smelled the air and said “No”.

Lujan took the large fruit between his hands and lowered his head. “Here” he whispered almost imperceptibly and the scent of pineapple washed over my face. This was a telekinetic maneuver he explained. To want without wanting. Our conversations and practices continued for several more days.

At one point Lujan asked me to stand on the other side of the room again. This time he had me hold my hands at my sides. He held his in a similar fashion. He began to make small flicking movements with his hands by bending them at the wrists. Suddenly I felt what seemed like little taps on the palms of my hands. This he explained was a similar transfer like the fruit.

My time with the Nagual has again shifted the path in which I was on and I will follow his parting words… “Expect the Unexpected”

Cape Town Workshop 2010

On 11 April 2010 I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa for two weeks of workshops with Lujan Matus. Week one was Dragon’s Tears and week two Energy Tapping, which included the Lotus Series. Two of us had studied the Dragon’s Tears with Lujan in Bali on separate occasions and he asked both of us to act as facilitators during the training.

This was my first training with Lujan in a workshop format. Having many people generated many questions, all of which Lujan answered with characteristic openness. This allowed me to learn about many things I would not have thought to ask about. I hope workshops will become a more regular event.

Week One: Dragon’s Tears

24 Attendants learned the advanced set of the Dragon’s Tears over 5 days and 4 additional sessions in the following week. Lujan also sanctioned the first “Dragon’s Tears practise group” to meet weekly after the workshop to practice the Tears.

It was quite an experience to do the tears in a group. Towards the end of the workshop, when people had become more comfortable with the form the air would charge with a silence that was palpable and alive with energy. I noted a marked increase in either my energy levels, or my ability to feel it, or both. My hands and forearms were burning at times –especially when passing specific areas in my energy field.

Lujan explained many things regarding the Dragon’s Tears; the energetics of movements, the internal and external chakras and how the Tears interacts with them. One purpose of the Tears is to develop the Blue spectrum in the practitioner. This involves engaging and activating the upper-Chakras (Heart and above).

Also the Tears work with the lower chakras to support the individual who fights to extricate themselves from socially conditioned states powered by these centres. The approach is quite novel yet simple.

Week two: Energy Tapping & the Lotus Series.

Week two had only a few attendants. Sessions were 4 hours each morning which allowed them to take on an immersion format. Because we did follow-up sessions of the Dragon’s Tears at night, those who attended Tapping could notice the difference when doing Dragon’s Tears with energy channels opened by Tapping.

The Tapping regiment taught was the advanced set which ads the “Tiger claw” sequence focused on developing the “upper-vest”. The Claw sequence activates and engages the upper-vest which, amongst other things is preparation for the Jaguar Series. The upper vest activation affects energy in the personal field, and hence one’s interaction with the environment and others.

Lujan also included The “Lotus Series” which is normally taught as a separate sequence. As before people asked interesting questions and I learned a lot of things. At one point Lujan “confronted” one of the participants in order to have an example that would assist him to explain certain principles. This allowed many other topics to be discussed, many based on the ‘processing’ that Energy Tapping initiated in participants.

We were fortunate to have Lujan himself processing during the Tapping, and he took time to discuss processing in greater detail and share his perspectives based on examples.

I was happy that the group in Cape Town could welcome and host Lujan and Mizpah in the midst of their move to Costa Rica. Kirsten who arranged it all –and did a splendid job, deserves a very special mention.

Recommendation:

I am happy to recommend training with Lujan, one-on-one, or via workshops. His integrity is a testimony to the teachings he lives daily. His heart/truth-based approach to personal growth is text-book self-empowerment: One takes it home to apply independently.

I treasure time spent with Lujan under any circumstances because he lives impeccably. Learning by directly experiencing and being exposed to another perform something that one is after just seems to work better. Thank you again for your Love, openness, caring and sharing.

I recently completed the Dragon’s Tears course with Lujan Matus, and found it an amazing experience. Lujan embodies wisdom, warmth, and a sense of boundless peace. Added to this his quirky sense of humour, it created the space for a truly magical 6 day course which I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

The Tears give me a doorway into the matrix of this world and enhance my toolbox so beautifully. I now understand what was missing for me in the Tai Chi forms that I practise for 14 years and teach. Lujan’s first book is inspiring and opens many doorways for those who care to look. Cant wait to read the next one. He is an amazing man of our times.

Visiting Lujan in Bali was a profoundly magical experience. I could not have imagined beforehand how beautiful it really was. I knew that Lujan was a very humble and genuine person but upon meeting him I was still completely blown away. I had no idea it was possible for a person to be so humble and genuine. There was no sense of lofty guru status whatsoever, everything was clear and present in kindness and support. We are all together in the same boat as human beings, brothers and sisters.

At one point during our first meeting our eyes met spontaneously as so often happens in silent moments of conversation but what I saw upon gazing into Lujans eyes was an immensely vast empty expanse that seemed to open up behind his eyes. It felt exquisitely warm and eternally expansive.

I felt embraced by a truly selfless kindness but there was absolutely nothing “spiritual” or far out about the experience. The expansive presence of eternity was right before my eyes in the most mundane and grounded context with no fancy energy work, just simple presence in the moment which was there without any personal expectation.

What was there in Lujan was automatically awakened in myself and it was the most simple and effortless realisation. We are all profoundly deep and powerful, right here and now. Its our nature.

I was so excited by how simple and powerful my first meeting was that I could hardly sleep. The next day I was a little tired and emotional but in that state I still automatically felt completely safe and comfortable to share with Lujan honestly what was happening with me and how I was feeling.

Lujan was able to see and acknowledge deep aspects of my personal struggle and to have those deepest and most painful feelings acknowledged and understood by another human being was a profound relief for me. I realised I had always somehow felt alone and not accepted but being seen so clearly was a massive weight off my shoulders that I had never even realised was there.

From that point on I felt profoundly calm and silent. Whenever I arrived at Lujan’s house to do Dragons Tears I instantly felt all the residual tension or interference dissipate completely when I saw myself in the context of seeing him. I was constantly reminded that all anxiety or stress I may feel does not truly belong to me and it is perfectly simple to just let it go. The way I felt and interacted was just like I would interact with my closest friends, completely natural and enjoyable within a deeply mutual acceptance.

Despite having practised Chi Kung and martial arts for over half my life, Dragons Tears came at me as a complete curve ball. Even after well over a decade of practice I have never felt the chi as powerfully as in Dragons Tears. Each movement I did with Lujan would flood my attention with such vast volumes of energy that I would lose my memory of what had transpired.

The feeling was absolutely indescribable… like being flooded with eternity, a sense of immense timelessness and disintegration, unlike anything else. There is no doubt that these are no ordinary movements. They are deeply shamanic gestures of infinity.

The energy around my body felt like thick magnetic charge which moved my hands without my own volition, in a selfless state of release. It was a profoundly absorbing experience of total energetic abundance, beyond what I could have imagined.

By the end of each Dragons Tears session I felt completely open and ecstatic. There was a profound feeling of abundant gratitude and deep acceptance which was mutually connected and infusing the presence of everything. Everything looked like new, like I had never seen it before.

The surroundings would glow with presence and resonance and my body felt like nothing I had ever experienced before. Like floating on air, yet completely grounded and protected. I have seldom ever felt so absolutely good, and the perceptual effects for me were more powerful than any hallucinogen. Everything was mysterious but so familiar at the same time. I had never experienced a sense of well being that was so complete.

The transformation I experienced didn’t shake up any unnecessary dissonance in my daily life or force anything to rearrange. Rather it allowed me to more deeply realise that all is well and that it is safe to trust my heart and my body’s wisdom. Practising Dragons Tears each day at home has triggered a gradual cascade of deep internal changes particularly in the way my body feels and how my energy functions. I have never experienced such abundant chi in and around my body.

It feels completely different to before I went. I am much more grounded now and much less accessible to interference from external forces. It feels like my true purpose has been awakening on a much deeper and more primordial level than before I learned the Tears. The deeper mysteries are closer now than ever before.

The experience of getting to know Lujan has made me realise the immense value of genuinely connecting with and supporting our fellow human beings. To uplift each other and share honestly in the journey for mutual growth and enhancement. In humility there is always so much to learn from each other and the true value of connecting with friends and loved ones is incalculable. Our true power appears when the heart is clear and sincere.

Since way over 20 years now, my Man Johannes and I both have had the privilege to study with the Nagual and Elder SwiftDeer, Thunder Strikes from the Twisted Hairs Tradition. Since many years, we disseminate the teachings of the Sweet Medicine Sundance path, given by our Nagual , as road people and as Body Dearmoring Dance Chiefs in Europe.
It was first SwiftDeer, who drew our attention to “Parallel Perception”, the book from Nagual Lujan Matus.

The book gave us a new angle of perspective on the journey and it’s landscapes from everyday reality into the non personal, non dual, always present, (and individually not always accessible) parallel reality. The lecture, and how it touched us in an impersonal, yet loving way, invited me, Sabina into a year of private tuition with Lujan.

It had been quite some ago, time since I had phone dates with an unknown stranger, so this was quite adventurous, and in many ways, often quite funny and humorous. The first challenge presented to me was to open my heart. While I am not necessarily very eager in opening my interior to an unknown on the phone, the obviously pure and clear connection nevertheless led me into experiencing an intimate and crystal clear guidance from the beginning.
Lujan invited me into an avenue of Deprogramming my senses of perception. Lujan, lucid, present, intimate and humorously confrontative, was always fast and very direct in spotting where I am contaminated in my perception, thru cultural, social or personal impacts. He would show me clearly and directly where I am in reaction, not true to what I feel, and not able to respond to the moment. The tools Lujan gave me to deprogram my senses are amazingly simple, magical, effective, and continue to be with me intimately.
Within the workings, Lujan also offered me clear and straight mirrors to look into, where I had my heart closed and hidden away, or stayed in the illusion of pain, rather than embracing any energy coming my way. Humorously confronting my defences, Lujan showed me how to unveil many of my patterns and to let them go into the nebula of all illusions.

My previous, and ongoing many- years work with SwiftDeer has allowed me in this process with Lujan to let go of subtle, yet vigorously imprisoning programs.

At some point, Lujan had invited me to share the workings and techniques he gave me with my partner Johannes, so off we took together inward, and into the night skies.

Of course, in the process of tuition, the question arouse, to whom I am really talking to on the phone, and with whom I am openly sharing myself, my feelings and inner processes without even a second thought of reserve. So the idea of scheduling a face to face working to find out was not far at all for Johannes and myself.

Off we went therefore to Bali, curious and excited to meet The Nagual. Lujan had determined we would work on Dragons Tears, and maybe Energy Tapping, if we stayed for another week. We did not know much more than this was some kind of physical exercises, to which we are quite inclined in general.
Bali welcomed us with it’s colours, fragrances, sounds, and it’s wet heat. We stayed in a beautiful cottage close to Lujans house, lush and comfortable in every way.

Nagual Lujan appeared one morning in our room, when we were actually expecting the laundry service, which he clearly was not: wrong size, wrong outfit. Therefore, our first encounter was accompanied by an element of surprise.
Lujan invited us to ask any questions we might have at that time. No questions came to our minds. And this continued to be an ongoing element in our 10-day working: no questions, because being in presence, there is no question.

Lujan introduced us first to Dragons Tears, a series of graceful forms, in some ways comparable to Tai Chi. However the effect of the forms was immediately very different. While still learning the sequences, we started to experience already another space, another reality opening, a state of presence otherwise not so easily accessed. We kept learning and practicing diligently and dedicatedly for 5 days with Lujan, using our free time to memorize and re-practice the forms. On subtle levels, we integrated new ways of building, moving and directing Ki, while the space amongst us always felt light, open hearted, gentle, sometimes deep, and often quite funny.

Soon enough it was clear we would love to stay for another sequence of working, which Lujan, and another student of him, made gracefully possible for us.
The second working we engaged in was Energy Tapping, a more vigorous series of forms aimed at building Ki and feeding the Ki directly to the body. Lujan continued teaching us in a giving, patient and encouraging way. Again, we learned and practiced together, being present in a state of heart-, and often thought connection, joking, having fun, being confronted as well, and being unreasonably happy.

The working on the physical and Ki forms with Lujan has opened the space of another dimension yet in a different way: Lujan brings the space of the parallel, non dual dimension and presence integrated within himself, and thru practicing in the physical within these magical forms, presence becomes present. Thus parallel perception and parallel dimension do not remain concepts, but Lujan offers the door as well as the key to enter into the space.
The door may be the same for everyone, however Lujan hands out the individual keys in a caring, lucid, non personal way.

As we ended the working, our heart and mind had melted into a state of gentle unity. We both left with a clear sense of our own keys, and with a clear understanding that it is on us to use the keys, and invest ourselves.
We also left the space with an open, touched and happy heart, and with the firm knowledge that we will be back. Which in some ways is a paradox, because in presence, you cannot really be gone.

Thank you Lujan. Sabina and Johannes

Holy freaking Fire Turtles!

Energy Tapping comes as a shock and demands what you’ve always wanted to experience: a total, primal engagement, pushing beyond your limits .

Starting with a chi activation sequence, Energy Tapping begins moderately but efficiently, with a strong pulsation of chi arriving immediately in the arms. Next is primordial activation, which was a big challenge for me as it is all about arm and upper body strength. Wake up call!

I have always wanted to be as agile as a monkey though so even if it was hard it appealed to me to push myself, and I had to.

On the very first round of the nine sets of Upper Vest Compression I was struggling with nausea and dizziness. I couldn’t wait for it to end and it was just the beginning. Upper Vest Compression is very demanding, particularly in terms of engagement of will to stretch our limits. The same movements can be approximated with practically no effect but when fully assumed they seem to take on epic, survivalist proportions.

What steps in to ‘protect’ our righteous sense of personal comfort from these unexpected onslaughts tends to be very revealing and becoming aware of those responses is just one of the amazing benefits of this practice. I had to struggle against internal resistance, knowing I had to go on if I really wanted to make a change. It was not so much my body as my conditioning, not accustomed to that level of exertion, that was complaining.

On that first day I was talking to myself about how it would all end soon and I would have a choice to not do it any more and how that was what I would do, preferably as soon as possible. And that was exhausting, and unnecessary. I am so glad to have had the chance to continue the training and arrive at a different attitude towards integrating it in my daily life, because the first way was self-limiting and lazy, which is exactly what I need to overcome as it is just not who I am. I felt this ‘mummy suit’ dropping away as the days went by, revealing myself to be much stronger, clearer and more physically resourceful than I had allowed myself experience before and making me determined to build upon and not lose sight of this in the maelstrom of ‘normal life’.

The second half of the session is all practiced in horse stance. It is super-intense and incredibly efficient in moving energy. I sweated as though I was doing cardio whilst mostly standing still, just moving arms. It was hot weather but I think this would happen in any temperature.

At moments you feel your whole lower body turn to steel and ‘bone-strengthening’ taking place before your very senses. Chi flows like lava all over the place - without a doubt, it’s working. Activation of centers such as the solar plexus, the heart and the third eye happens noticeably the first time you do it and the sensations get stronger every time.

On the second day of training I could barely lift my arms in the morning and dressed myself like an old lady. When I saw myself in the mirror I was shocked by the transformation of my upper body. I was looking compact and strong! Literally overnight I had arms I had never seen before in my life.

I had a break after the second day of Tapping as I had originally come to learn Dragon’s Tears and it looked like I might not absorb everything properly because in Tears there is so much detail to pay attention to and the intensity of Tapping was leaving my ‘body brain’ a bit shell shocked in the afternoon.

What was crazy was that for the rest of that week my body did not stop transforming the whole time. Normally if I do something I’m not used to the lactic acid and after effects last for two or three days. This was six. I was practicing Dragon’s Tears and walking around town during that time, but nothing else, and my newly muscled arms kept getting more definition. It was kind of weird, and great! I was impressed with the results.

My second round of Tapping the week after was a whole different experience. The first day was challenging but I was not looking forward to the end with the semi-desperation I had the first time because the movements had become enjoyable to me.

Having had three experiences now of ‘recommencing’ after a break of day or several days, I know that the first day of a new cycle is challenging. It feels ‘too much’ and it’s tempting to cave in. Luckily Lujan won’t allow that and this is an education within itself. This is work I can and must continue now myself. When you push through you end up somewhere better and it quickly feels natural to be demanding this level of engagement from yourself.

The training actually becomes pleasurable. There is something deeply satisfying about all the exercises and the way they flow from one to another that makes you want to go back for more.

At the end of the whole practice I often felt like a ‘pre-cog’, those super sensitive psychic humanoid beings that live underwater in the film ‘Minority Report’ (if you have seen it). Everything was slightly surreal, the light very bright and things like plants were glowing. It was an interesting conclusion to such intense physicality.

I love learning with Lujan on so many levels. It is the best thing I have done in a long time and not a moment too soon. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to break through their personal limitations and get in touch with their essence.

If you want to prepare at all for your Tapping initiation, I was really glad that I’d done a little work on my abs (Pilates abs workouts) and some arm strengthening - a few push-ups, more would have been better! Whatever you do though Tapping is likely to be a shock to your system as the point is to go beyond your own limits so wherever you are at you will be asked to go further and this is the true magic of this practice.

Happy Tapping !
