Sense of live

Carlos Castaneda

This video is the companion to Carlos Castaneda’s book Magical Passes: The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico. It covers the first of the five parts depicted in the book, in addition to an alternative long form version of the movements strung together and an added Saber-tooth long form (very exciting and invigorating, by the way.) After a sophisticated intro of dragonflies landing on the opening logo, the video begins with a surreal setting of silhouettes against a sunset colored background, as narration briefly describes the source of these movements. The video then quickens the pace to a thorough rendition of the forms depicted from the book, in full, breathing color. With vibrant instructors and smart videography, the movements are easily digested and the viewer is given a substantial amount of lessons in little time. Not only are the movements demonstrated in an easy to follow format, but they really work. And there seems to be an undercurrent of awareness stirred in the body, strikingly similar to episodes read about. Not that the world flips fantastically, but rather, a subtle ignition of my facilities.
