Meeting the Lujan Matus
Meeting Lujan for the first time felt like seeing somebody with whom I had a deep connection that transcended time and space, again. I had an overwhelming feeling that everything was falling into place, that all previous events in my life led to this encounter. As I was looking at Lujan’s left eye, I could see the old nagual’s face superimposed on his (an old man from Asia with large black pupils and a white beard) and I felt being transported somewhere else, beyond time and space where an ancient being was talking directly to me as words gradually dissolved, leaving only the flow of pure understanding between two hearts. It has been more real than anything I have experienced.
Lujan told me exactly what I needed to know, being very generous with his wisdom and handling the avalanche of questions I had, with great skill and compassion. For the guidance I received, I am grateful beyond words.
The movements (Dragon’s tears, Lotus and the Serpent Series) are exquisite, gracious yet very powerful. I’ve been practicing daily since our meeting and the effect is simply amazing. Every sequence is enjoyable and while immersed in the practice, everything around disappears for a moment: it feels like a gesture of connecting one with the true self within, as well as with the universe at large, with the essence of life. Or perhaps it rekindles that essence in the practitioner.
There was so much understanding that came through silence, that I cannot possibly quantify. I was able to see everything I had accepted during my previous associations that was unnecessary. All this negativity that we are afraid to expose, burdens, compromises, they all fade away like dust when we give back the voice to the heart.
There is something resurfacing again. Something mysterious. That which can be only when everything else deemed unnecessary, is dropped. At this moment, I perceive it like the ultimate leap of faith: to trust only your awareness, only your heart. The one who does this, renounces everything else willingly. The power of a true heart is almost inconceivable and that part within us that fears it’s development, is the shadow mind. Lujan, thank you from all my heart for this wonderful gift. Looking forward to our next encounter.

Journey to see Nagual Lujan
I wandered up the hill from town , I had not met Lujan yet and was anxiously awaiting the visit the next day to start the dragons tears program and meet this man.
A motor cycle passed by me as I walked then another, and in a split second I heard a “hey” as it zipped past a man looked staring into me with shiny eyes, a fragment of time so small in passing on that blind bend , this man had time to recognise I was his coming student and the perceptual speed to engage and speak within that passing moment which literally was a split second . This was my first view of that perceptual speed to come.
The dragons tears was intensive yes , but I enjoyed myself and engaging in the practice was physically challenging , finding myself absorbed in Lujan’s presence and the liquid state of being with him and interacting in that dream like state that the tears produced in me.
Although at first having a noisy mind I became so silent at times he would speak and I would find myself so deep in the recesses of silence that I was unable to utter a word in response.
At times having slipped into silence I would find myself unable to recall where and what I had learnt during the movements.
In a dream one night whilst there, I was practicing the tears with Lujan and he was telling me that I could remember the movements having little memory recall and that my energy or my body could remember despite this.
In another night of visiting him , I had awoken around 2 am in the darkness, as I moved into the next room I could see him in a vision , it was not a passing vision but he was looking at me superimposed within the room for maybe 15 seconds.
He was smiling the way he does shining and I could feel his heartfelt intentions pushing towards me, I also felt the same smiling and watched him. Intensity flooded me within my chest spilling emotion from me,
I was actually waiting for him to wave or wink or something. I was filled with a mutual love and beauty at witnessing this, which just added to this whole experience.
This was just one instance of the magic and heartfelt beauty I experienced whilst on my visit amongst others. The feeling of beauty and shifting within my being so intense that I felt like weeping and happy all at the same time whilst in his presence is the memory that will stay with me.
The practices of Dragons Tears has continued to bring to the surface old patterns as they are said to, and I await our next encounter with optimism and excitement, looking forward to furthering this learning and unraveling. See you again soon.
Thank you Nagual for sharing these gifts. The words heart and beauty may appear here in multiples , well ….

“I had an amazing experience within dimension while visiting Lujan for The Heart and Third Eye Awakening program. My feelings about who I am were confirmed in an incredible way. To accept the realness of this experience still challenges my psyche and opens my heart.
I can only be silent and humbled by the fact that power made itself available for me while with Lujan. To meet a person that I could “tell my issues” to and know that he would tell me the truth from his heart and then empower the real me-who I am in my heart, was exactly what I was searching for. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time speaking with Lujan in heightened awareness and to feel eternity in the passing seconds.
Gracious, humble, giving, and standing absolutely firm in his personal power; Lujan related truths that were exactly what my heart needed to hear. I am so thankful for the example Lujan set for me by living totally present within the moment and stationed within the truth of his heart.”

Once I found my way to the Parallel Perception web site, it took me a very short time to decide that I needed to see the Nagual and fast. I felt like it was a life and death situation for me. I checked the program schedule and felt that it was too far away and did not want to wait that long. I then received a communication that there was an opening in the nagual’s schedule at a much earlier time. I just knew that he felt my urgency and made himself available at an earlier date.
During the Dragon’s Tears program I was only able to learn half of the movements. After a personal issue came up he commented that I did not go there to learn Dragon’s Tears but to confront the issue.
I have been practicing Dragon’s Tears (half) for a month now. I have been observing myself from a detached point of view all this time.
There has been, very subtly, an insurgence of ethics/integrity in all of my actions without any conscious effort on my part. I have a different point of view. I like it. I just stopped my foolish, energy draining behaviors. On top of that I feel absolutely fantastic without any expectations. I realized how much pressure I was putting on myself through personal expectations.
Nagual Lujan has a “Gift of Power” for all. I think his gift of power to me will keep on working as I increase my ability to receive more.
Go get your gift of power and be an unbiased witness.

Seeing the Eyes of a Shaman
My first moment of meeting Lujan was quite an amusing one.
My friend and I were waiting at the meeting place, when a tall, gentle presence suddenly appeared in front of us. I found myself looking into bright, smiling eyes as we got up to great him. I was instantly enveloped by a sense of absolute comfort.
My mind was a little confused as this man could not be over 40 and I knew the Nagual was older than that, so I came to the conclusion that he must be the Nagual’s son. Only when we got back to the house did I realise after a short while, that this was actually Lujan. I was fascinated by the lightness that shone his face. As I became familiar with his home I felt how right it was to be there. Finally I had found a teacher that I could truly trust, I had no doubts, my intuition was completely aware of the integrity and unconditional love that this man emanated.
My mind was in a little shock that this experience was really happening. For me, actually trusting a person enough to really let go, was like prying open an ancient rusted treasure chest. Each moment that I spent with Lujan it became easier and easier.
Time did not seem to exist when we were working, I felt like I was evolving a millennia in every hour. Lujan works with such grace and ease. I processed through more “stuff” in those two weeks than I had within the ten previous years. Spending time with Lujan was the first time in my life that I felt truly safe, I was beginning to get a sense of what it was to actually be free.
As soon as we started learning the Dragon Tears my body immediately knew the vibration and the movements. This was the spiritual movement form that I had been waiting for since I was 18 years old.
While we were practising it became more and more visually clear how the energy was moving around Lujan’s body. Later I began to see the blue light of the threads flashing for brief moments. Each time we practised one particular movement I experienced the whole room move swiftly to the right about 30cm and back again, like a glitch in the matrix. After this happened for the third time I expressed to Lujan what I was experiencing. Lujan explained that this was my double moving ahead of me. Many times, especially when we were working at clearing imprints, the texture of the room softened and took on a golden glow, everything physical seemed to fade away into the golden energy.
When the Nagual confronted me with the areas of my life that I had been lying to myself and others, with the deep levels of compromise that I had been carrying, I knew that I had a choice….I could back peddle….or I could surrender. The surrender was not to him, it was to my own beautiful, sensitive sovereignty, so letting myself fall was the only way. I had been waiting for a long time to do this work, to plummet through the shadow, into the center of my being. I was finally on the journey towards my true self.
Over the last ten months of practising the tears, I have been on a roller-coaster ride through the layers of imprints that I have accumulated over my life. The journey has been a little pendulum swinging from resistance to relief. The more I shine a light on the shit, the more the shadow fights. The one thing that I can say is that the Tears truly do bring one towards oneself. They churn up the imprints and show them to you clearly, right in front of your face. The Tears help you to build the strength and clarity to shed away the onion skins and begin to know your truth on deeper and deeper levels. There is no room for compromise, there is no more ability to bullshit oneself and others, there is just the journey of truth and it is beautiful. I am so fortunate that my closest friends have now also been through this profound process and we have each other as clear and supportive mirrors. And of course no matter where Lujan is in the world he is just an email away.
Gaze and yee shall see!
The second week with Lujan we spent the evenings gazing. The first time we watched him I quickly became aware of a serpentine energy as he began to move. It was moving from the ground at his feet, straight up through his body. Then I watched as the chi weaved around him and began to expand through his energy field in intricate flowing patterns, it was delicate, yet strong and beautiful. Then a presence presented itself quite still on the left flank of his body, it was an eagle. Later someone knocked on the door and the stillness was broken as the eagle energy jumped into action towards the door, then it settled back again. Each time Lujan bent over I was aware of a large presence about 10ft tall behind him, I initially felt it was a man, but could not make out more than it was just extremely strong and protective like a guardian.
Later Lujan told me it was his benefactor and he showed me the tattoo of the eagle on his left arm, a gift of protection from his benefactor.
The second night I was in the dragon realm. I was aware of three dragons swimming tightly around Lujan’s body, for the first while, then they softly melded into his body. Later a much bigger dragon came to his right hand side and settled there watching him. The energy of the dragon’s was so beautiful, I could feel the strength if love that they carry.
Lujan also showed us a few exercises from his upcoming book and on one occasion a singing bowl completely disappeared from sight. Later that night an entire star disappeared from sight for over a minute.
Cape Town Courses
Very soon after we arrived back in Cape Town Lujan contacted me and asked if I wanted to organise some courses in Cape Town. I was very excited and asked when? He replied in 4 months time….gulp thought I! I felt excited about the idea and I discussed it with my friends. They were planning on flying over to him anyway so it made more sense to bring him out here. So we did.
Everything fell into place. I organised a talk that had a turnout of 50 people. We all sat in the room and settled down as the Nagual softly began to speak. Very quickly everyone became quiet and their focus became strongly attentive on the Nagual. Mizpah and I were sitting on the side of the room and within minutes my vision blurred as a wave slowly rolled through the room, a wave of pure love and power, touching the hearts of those that were open to it. I sat there feeling my own heart respond as my head thought, can everyone feel this? Are they aware of the Nagual energy? Well I soon found out from the feedback afterward who did and it was the vast majority of the group. What a magical experience witnessing this group heart activation, even though it was just a taste of what it was like to work with the Nagual.
In the middle of a national financial dip, we had 22 people that were drawn strongly to this work to attend Dragon Tears, so we had ourselves an amazing workshop. We used a beautiful venue in CT, up on the side of the mountain, on a property of botanical gardens and we worked in a thatched loft. It was magical.
During the course everyone went through the process that they chose to surrender to. It was truly fascinating sitting on the other side of the room witnessing the turmoil, the letting go, the avoidance and the moments of freedom when those chose to drop into themselves. The group dynamic is so powerful as one is surrounded by many mirrors. The most magical experience for me was towards the end when their bodies had become familiar with the movements and we all moved in unison during the Tears, like the waves of the ocean. It was an otherworldly experience, we all traveled on the waves of time into a place of stillness within motion. What an honour to have organised such a powerful event.
It has been fantastic to be there for the group afterwards, to assist in the deeper integration of the Dragon Tears movements. Through this I have watched the process of everyone chipping away at their onion skins a little more each week. The group have also formed some deep trusting connections with each other. They are already talking about Lujan’s return at the beginning if 2012. I can’t wait to see how those workshops will unfold!
Lujan and Mizpah I have so much love and respect in my heart for you. Thank you! What an exciting journey

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.
