On the path of consciousness evolution, what could be roughly called the initiatory path of becoming a shaman, a separation happens. The universe is understood under the same dynamics, but now the inner power of the apprentice is fully acknowledged, and his/her capacity is elevated to the status of being able to create his/her own portal into a personal universe. The symbolic tool used for this is the ‘Mastana,’ a carefully woven cloth that will have some unique characteristics expressing the passage of time and the creation of matter. It is absolutely baffling to me how a lineage that extends over 5,000 years could have been operating with ideas that are still not fully understood by advanced physicists today.

When understood from a symbiotic stance, the Mastana expresses that time flows forward but at the same time, it also flows backward. These two flows are perfectly correspondent to each other and reflective of one another in the particular energy point of time and space that the observer (you) finds themselves in. To take it a little further, the idea of the future is understood as matter, and the idea of the past as antimatter. This view of reality means that everything held as ‘history’ is, in essence, potential for our soon-to-materialize future.

This is just a little of the symbolism represented in the Mastana. However, when set up to be used for ritual purposes and under the appropriate state of mind, the ideas themselves will grant access to transcendental thinking and healing. Over the years, with the results I have personally achieved in this work and having a background in psychology, I’ve gained a glimpse of how the depths of our consciousness connect with a universal flow that responds in vibration. As a healer, when accessing this state of mind, my clients will subconsciously correspond to an equivalent one. From this level of consciousness, transpersonal healing happens automatically. There is no need to understand a trauma and dissect it (like in most current therapy models). The energy of the past will align with the intent of the present and will recalibrate itself instantly for that optimal future. It’s like disconnecting the couplings of two interconnected cables that are not transmitting information harmoniously and reconnecting them with the desired input/output.”
