Joining Forces Practice Project

The Creativity of the Warrior

THIS COLLABORATIVE PROJECT IS TO PREPARE FOR THE AUGUST 24’ PRACTICE

–  AN EXTENDED 2.5 HRS ONLINE PRACTICE WITH ALL WORLD GROUPS (representatives from each group will guide the program of passes)

–  A 4-DAY RETREAT TO GATHER LIVE INCLUDING THE ONLINE PRACTICE

(representatives from different groups will guide their Form live during the retreat) 

With the Form of energy passes:

The Jaguar of the Maya Toltecs

Instead of being a single set form, in The Jaguar there is rather a vocabulary, sets of components that can then be arranged in different sequences and different number of repetitions for any given set, or block. Each block functions as a unit of perception, about the realm of the jaguar. In this context, an arrangement is a unique sequence and number of repetitions of the blocks, reflecting individual expressions. Each Practice Group worldwide will develop their own arrangement, their own form.

The jaguar is one of the most consequential figures in Mesoamerica culture, the ruler of the underworld, the spirit of light and darkness, the Sun of the Night. For those people, the jaguar brought a very specific kind of energy to those who aligned with it: courage, valor and the confidence to seek and confront that which is in the darkness, that cannot or would not be seen, including one’s fears and one’s enemies. The jaguar has night vision and can see depth in the dark. The jaguar represents power and ferocity. Being a jaguar can also include accessing higher functions such as insight and foresight.

KEY It is not that the warrior leaves the human to become a jaguar; rather, the human pulls in the jaguar, he or she incorporates the energies and attributes of the jaguar into the human.

i.e. In this form, a warrior becomes ‘jaguarized’.

This is what is of most importance, to align with the woman-jaguar, or with the man-jaguar. For a warrior, it is the Freedom to be his or her authentic self, to stand up for their deepest values.

How practitioners and groups can arrange a form

• there is a pattern of breathing to follow,
• a specific mood to enter,
• a technique for how to engage the hands as claws,
• a set of preparatory wheels’ strikes and then, there is
• a collection of blocks of passes; blocks can be combined in any order and number of repetitions, so that the end result is a form always fresh, unique and in
• Any given Form, any given arrangement (sequence) can also include any of the Preparatory passes (breaths, sounds and wheels)

EACH Practice Group will work together to create their Signature Jaguar Form, their unique arrangement, such as “The Jaguar of the Maya-Toltecs French Group, The Jaguar of the Maya- Toltecs Brazil Group, etc.

Each group can practice and develop their form over the next months, and include it in their regular practices.

In August, 2024, when we hold the first Global Practice, each Practice Group will present and share their respective Form, so we all get to practice 12 different variations!

An Abstract Context

“Passion is not sacred, it is a feeling generated by a single purpose and this is abstract: to navigate in infinity. The true passion is that of sorcerers, who, unlike human passions, have no remorse, never apologize. The fault is uniting passion with egomania. For sorcerers, the greatest purpose is that this force allows them to travel into the unknown. Don Juan told me:
“Amalgamate those feelings in a center, which is that of passion, because it is passion that leads sorcerers to see what they have to see.” — Taisha Abelar

“To be a sorcerer,” don Juan continued, “doesn’t mean to practice witchcraft, or to work to affect people, or to be possessed by demons. To be a sorcerer means to reach a level of awareness that makes inconceivable things available. The term ‘sorcery’ is inadequate to express what sorcerers do, and so is the term ‘shamanism.’ The actions of sorcerers are exclusively in the realm of the abstract, the impersonal. Sorcerers struggle to reach a goal that has nothing to do with the quests of an average man. Sorcerers’ aspirations are to reach infinity, and to be conscious of it. “Infinity is everything that surrounds us.” He said this and made a broad gesture with his arms. “The sorcerers of my lineage call it infinity, the spirit, the dark sea of awareness.” — Carlos Castaneda

This May in Europe with Dr. Miles Reid!

Workshop in Sestri Levante, May 20-21 “Awareness Through Harmony”

An Exploration of the Male and the Female, in a New Era for Relationships

Sestri Levante, Italy May 20-21

Hotel Grande Albergo

Experience a space within you beyond divisions, complete, silent

Description

There is an ancient Chinese concept that when Yang is in plenitude there is already the start of a seed of Yin. In the world of 2023 today, as division and des-integration abound, we can catch a glimpse as well of the beginning of a new understanding as vehicles for advancing human consciousness. And with this, the possibility of a new physiology in our bodies.

Avo -The male and female polarity within us is the essential division that exists to our experience of being whole. The Arab mathematicians of the ninth century formulated the idea of fractions, and they used the word avo to refer to the partition. In formulating this idea, they noticed that once a whole is partitioned, it can continue to divide forever, just as our perceived differences between male and female can continue to divide forever,

But there will be always for eternity, a space between the fractions. Avo represents that unifying space, avo is, then, Infinity. For a shaman, infinity is freedom, sought, but not attainable.

My teacher Carlos Castaneda focused on a proposition he called Awareness through Harmony. Harmony between the sexes, an ideal of a new form of relationship between men and women, between the feminine and the masculine. Within ourselves, and with the opposite gender. From this state of the self, all our other endeavors in the world change.

We need this new construct, i is our next step in evolution. We need this new quality right now, this new affirmation, and to live it in our daily lives.

• Practice Movements to Reorganize your body’s Energy and Vitality, called energy passes
• Enter into Hightened States of Awareness
• Learn how to use Energy to make Decisions
• Visualize a new chemistry in your body
• Experience the voice of your Internal Organs

The shamans of ancient Mexico believed that each one of us is the possessor of a cache of energy that permits us to live our lives. This cache of energy is enough for us to remake ourselves, to attain inner silence and catch a glimpse of Infinity.

In Awareness Through Harmony, the invitation we are extended is an ideal: to use this cache of energy to reach a level of harmony so complete that none of us would have words to explain it or describe it. In order to align with this new feeling within us, which is in the same order as to say with our opposite gender, we need to reach a level of profound amenity and affinity between these two polarities inside our inner world. Then, we can bring this harmony out into our relations in the outer world.

How do we enter into a level of awareness to become a man and a woman with no desire to establish any preconceived scenarios of inferiority or superiority? The reward is a feeling of abandonment and freedom; it changes our decision making. And decision making is the critical skill we need for our world.

Experience how to energize your decisions with this 30′ practice:

The workshop will take place by the Mediterranean coast of Liguria, and it includes a special evening session  for Journeying in the Sea of Awareness , with guest teacher Elisa Bava, who will guide participants**, through a non linear use of the vocal chords, to move the assemblage point, in order to foster a state of inner silence, ideal for such journeying.

In this state, one can even reach into the unified space, the space between the male-female polarity, the place of Avo, or infinity.

** via live or online

Combine the workshop with a set of treatments for maximum impact and results!

During treatments you get:

• A Personal Coaching on the Warrior’s Way
• A Personal Tuina Bodywork & Acupuncture
• A Personal Nutritional and Herbal Prescription
• A Personal Energy Pass Prescription

Treatments in Sestri Levante

We are launching an umbrella theme this year, which will be developed around men & women workshops and collaborations with other teachers and organizations:

“Awareness Through Harmony”

An Exploration of the Male and Female, and a New Era for Relationships

There is an ancient Chinese concept that when Yang is in plenitude there is already the start of a seed of Yin. In the world of 2023 today, as division and des-integration abound, we can catch a glimpse as well of the beginning of a new understanding as vehicles for advancing human consciousness. And with this, the possibility of a new physiology in our bodies.

My teacher proposed a seed for this emergence, an advance runner so to speak. He called it intersubjectivity, as in a new shared agreement. During the last year of Carlos Castaneda’s life, all the focus and all the energy he taught in workshops around the globe, focused towards a proposition he called Awareness through Harmony. Harmony between the sexes, an ideal of a new form of relationship between men and women, between the feminine and the masculine. Within ourselves, and with the opposite gender. From this state of the self, all our other endeavors in the world change.

We need this new construct, i is our next step in evolution. We need this new quality right now, this new affirmation, and to live it in our daily lives.

We can say: I want to be in the front of the train of my life, of my evolution.

How can get to ‘the front of the train’? That is the quintessential invitation to you, here at this upcoming and quite unique Personal Retreat:

• Learn about using Energy to make Decisions
• Receive Tuina Chinese Bodywork & Acupuncture
• Practice unique Movements to Reorganize your body’s Energy and Vitality, called energy passes
• Get a Personal Nutritional and Herbal Prescription
• Visualize a new chemistry in your body
• Enter into Higher states of Awareness
• Experience talking to your Internal Organs and to the Land where you live.

The shamans of ancient Mexico believed that each one of us is the possessor of a cache of energy that permits us to live our lives. This cache of energy flows in a specific direction. They believed this specific direction was not anything inherently final, but was made to look final by the processes of socialization, and its subsequent enforcement through habit and usage.

In Awareness Through Harmony, the invitation we are extended is an ideal: to reach a level of harmony so extraordinary that none of us would have words to explain it or describe it. In order to align with this feeling and behavior between our male and female energies, which is in the same order as to say with our opposite gender, we need to reach a level of profound amenity and affinity between the two.

How do we enter into a level of awareness to become a man and a woman with no desire to establish any preconceived scenarios of inferiority or superiority? The reward is a feeling of abandonment and freedom; it changes our decision making. And decision making is the critical skill we need for our world.

From the great success of last year, we will be returning to Switzerland and Italy to offer sets of personal treatments and one-on-one guidance and counseling. A unique modality combining the experience of wholistic healing treatments plus a personalized mini-workshop that we design just for you.

There was an incredible level of satisfaction from those participating in this novel offering, so we are following energy and coming back!

May, 2023   Save the Date!

What others said about their experience in their Personal Retreat:

“Dear Miles, I wish I could find the right words to say you thank You, for the great support you gave me in setting up new challenges, to find a new approach in every day life habits, to strengthen the intent of connection and love with my tonal, either into my body or around me. I still feel shifted somehow into the awareness of my left body and I want this to grow like a three I’m taking care of. Acting more, thinking less, I feel more strength and respect for my body, feeling focused and present in any activity. Thank You very much indeed.“ – Emanuelle

“I thank you from bottom of my heart for your support and your full attention to my stories and states! It was uplifting for me being heard with all my issues I usually don’t share. I feel lighter after that, and am more in tune with my body.” – Sasso

“No need to say that those 4 days have been truly beneficial for everyone of us. I have been amazed by the way you have been able, in that short timeframe, to help everyone of us in such a singular manner. Besides the effects on our well-being, your positive attitude has been incredibly uplifting and contagious.
It has really been an honor and a delight to have you here in Lausanne my friend.
Muchas gracias y hasta luego caballero!!!” – Gabriel

“Good morning Miles, thank you so much for all the energy you put in your treatments. So much focus and intent. It was a long time since I haven’t had treatments with you but as always you injected a boost in my life and shook my energy. I feel more light and determined. A big hug and a thank you”. – Paolo

“It has been a transformational experience for me in many ways! your deep compassion opened my heart and your lightness and warmth made me feel that all things fall in place gracefully and easy. I felt such a great cleaning of my body and spirit, it’s like I got an infusion of a fresh colorful beautiful energy and let go of stagnated dark one. I felt that all is well and I gave myself permission to be who I am. and a miracle happened on my way back home. For month now my voice was very weak and i couldn’t sing at all. when i got in my car I suddenly got an urge to sing. despite resistance I followed the urge and in the beginning my voice sounded weak and scratchy, but some inner force was pushing me to continue. after 30 min my voice cleared up and I could sing loud and clear like years ago!! it was an amazing liberating feeling. so I sang all the way home for 2 hours! Now I am working on maintaining this new feeling and follow the plan we laid out. Thank you Miles from the bottom of my heart!” ❤️ – Olya

“These sessions with Miles were very special. He is a character who left his mark on me and immediately touched my heart and gained my trust. I wondered what was happening to me. My ramparts fell in one fell swoop. Everything happened very quickly and I feel like I’ve been in a space-time wormhole.
Miles gave me a glimpse of other ways to approach a path to healing. There may be a glimmer at the bottom of the well that I can now see if I make an effort to keep my eyes open.
It will take me a few more days to come out of the fog and receive fully what has been given to me.
Thank you for dedicating your life to helping others, Mr. Reid, and for doing so with such kindness, sincerity and heart.” – Geraldine

“Thank you for being the intermediary with Infinity and helping me to reconnect with Spirit.
I came with different issues and you managed to pinpoint the most important ones: how to stop the circularity of worrying thoughts, how to minimize the emotional impact of petty tyrants, what strategies to adopt in order to connect immediately with Spirit, and especially for this period in my life, to allow the process of mourning my mother who passed away 6 months ago and to take this opportunity to complete the process of mourning my father who passed away more than 30 years ago and with whom I didn’t manage to say properly good bye. Allowing this mourning without wishing to “get over it”. And how to be in the forefront of my lineage and being supported by my parents and ancestors in my back. During those 2 days I felt deeply understood and respected in my personal rythme. Ad two days later, I feel more comfortable and kind with my self. Huge! Thank you!!!” – Cristina

“Thank you for this opportunity to share.
My take away points are:
1. Measure time in intensity rather than linear. Quality not quantity.
2. Dissipate unwanted emotions in the vast landscape of the heart. (Into the heart audio).
3. The feeling experienced is that of freedom, evocative of times when I’ve experienced this before. Cultivate this environment.
4. Choose your battles.
5. Create strategies. Detox
6. Be careful with syntax., modify for optimization.
7. Intending gives impetus and direction. Apply to all aspects.
After treatments I experienced a sensation of weightlessness. My assemblage point had shifted and I could sense the swirling energy around me. In the following days my legs have been stiff, like I’ve been on a good hike or run. They want to stretch and gather energy.
My wife is happy and I was able to share some of the knowledge about choice of words with my children so my loved ones have benefited too.
Thank you Miles for sharing your wisdom and restoring my energy!
Hope to see you again next year!” – Ross

“Hola Miles, Espero que hayas hecho buen viaje rumbo a Italia. A pesar que hemos trabajado mucho sobre el dolor, y que la session en eso me ha ayudado bastante….no es en ese sentido que siento más cambio
Más bien me encuentro más unificada, centrada y alegre.
Mi esposo me dijo que me veía con otra cara.
Y en mi trabajo estoy aún más conectada.
Así que todo mágico.
Regresé a casa llena de gratitud a pesar de la situación en la que se encuentra este mundo.
Muchisimas gracias a ti y a mi hijo que insistió mucho para que te encontrara.
Que todo te vaya bien. Un fuerte abrazo” – Marik
