For those prepared to take a leap of faith, to forget all they know or think they know, another exciting world awaits them: The Energetic Matrix. This subtle world has always been there but unseen, as the human mind does not perceive what does not fit into its narrow view of life, which has been shaped by a lifetime's programming, labeling and preconceptions. Seen with new eyes, the Matrix gives the mind free flight and demonstrates its unlimited power. This book outlines the requirements for recognizing and then accessing the Energetic Matrix and how the Matrix extends into our normal daily lives, our relationships and our work as we develop abilities that are well beyond what is perceived as the normal range of the 5 senses. This book is for everyone who wants to develop and apply real practical energetic skills in life and work, and/or who wants to be a voyager in the many dimensions within the Matrix, and/or who wants to realize their place as an integral part of the self-aware Universe.
