The Recapitulation: A Toltec Practice of Energetic Recovery

Suggested donation: 5$

This 18-page guide offers a direct, no-frills approach to the ancient Toltec art of recapitulation — a method for reclaiming personal energy trapped in past experiences. Based on the teachings of Carlos Castaneda and Kurt Shaye, this document outlines a practical, disciplined method for recovering attention, undoing habitual reactions, and loosening the hold of memory on the luminous body.

You’ll find clear, step-by-step instruction on how to:

• Build and work from a memory list
• Use breath to retrieve energy and release emotional residue
• Employ subtle head movements to engage the energy body
• Establish a consistent practice, even in solitude

Toltec practitioners were known to practice the recapitulation constantly, as a means to remaining as light as a feather. They were even known to use closets, coffins, or caves to exert pressure on the luminous shell — not for drama, but for the bonus effect of increased focus. The same principle is honored here: stillness, confinement, darkness, and intention. But it can also be performed in open spaces or wherever it is convenient.
