Description

Tensegrity was a term used by Carlos Castaneda to refer to some movements called magical passes (a series of meditative stretches, stances and movements) that he said were developed by Native American shamans who lived in Mexico in times prior to the Spanish conquest.Some critics say Castaneda repackaged the ancient Chinese system of Tai Chi for business purposes.Btw, I think it worth a look, if you prefer a different approach to energy and meditation in movement.———————–Carlos Castaneda’s TensegrityVolume One:The 12 Basic Movements to Gather Energy and Promote Well-BeingThe purpose of the movements shown in the first volume is to condition the muscles and tendons to respond quickly and efficiently to other sequences of movement that require greater concentration and kinesthetic memory.Volume Two: Redistributing Dispersed EnergyIn the second volume, the movements shown are grouped around the idea that energy cannot enter or leave the human body, which the sorcerers of ancient Mexico understood as a concrete field unit that didn’t allow energy to enter or leave its boundaries.The only possible thing that can happen within such a sealed unit, sorcerers said, is for energy to be dispersed from some natural centers of strength that we have in the body: the liver and gallbladder; the pancreas and spleen; and the kidneys and adrenals.The purpose of the movements of the second volume is to redistribute the energy which the wear and tear of daily living drives away from those three centersVolume Three:Energetically Crossing From One Phylum To AnotherThe movements of the third volume are the culmination of this progression from simple to complex. These movements were used by shamans of ancient Mexico as a vehicle for a journey through different levels of awareness.
