HOLLYWOOD MAG.ORG - ‘MATRIX KIDS’ -

I was bowled over in the ‘Matrix Kids’ workshop geared for kids and parents in Los Angeles. What a Blast. In the midst of frolicking and having fun we learned about quantum physics, healing and tuning into the subtle energy existing in all living things. And, that was for starters.
Matrix Kids is an amazing offshoot of Matrix Energetics, an internationally acclaimed quantum-technology, created by Dr. Richard Bartlett, a visionary-shaman and award winning author.
Matrix Kids was brilliantly conceived and facilitated by Dr. Bartlett’s daughter, Justice Bartlett, with the assistance of Destiny, her precocious nine-year-old-daughter (going on 30-something), and inciteful, Karen Sperling. Justice, dressed in a sparkly headband and waving dolphin balloons, transported us into the world of make-believe and genius making.
Matrix Energetics technique starts with a gentle light touch and power-focused intent. The easily learnable two-point technique is a neutral start point, a quantifiable measurement to help determine the core of an issue, whether physical, emotional, psychological, etc. It builds into a new and joy-filled state that can affect life changes; alleviating the debilitating effects of past injuries, trauma and emotional patterns. It might sound like a big claim or a placebo effect. On the contrary, the beauty is that once the techniques are learned you can practice them on yourself, with family members, friends, whenever you feel stuck, wanting to change habituated behavior, or alleviate pain from an aching shoulder (Which I did in the workshop).
To test our skills we interacted with other participants, ranging in age from 7 to 60. One of my partners was an eleven-year-old girl. I was the one who giggled, was a bit shy, and reticent to try. Soon my have to ‘know it all’ adult persona took a back seat and I was in the moment having a real experience.
Destiny, our young co-facilitator, came over to assist. I closed my eyes as my young partner moved her hands in various two-points, sensing and adding other techniques, such as time-travel, going back or forward, sensing fears of the past, or future concerns that create limitations. Destiny chimed in, “Archetype!! She wants an archetype. Let’s see.” She pondered, then waving her fingers toward my heart, she smiled, “Let’s put in a little cupid for protection and fun.”
An inexplicable energy ignited. I spontaneously laughed and cried at the same time, releasing sorrow and capturing joy. How extraordinary that on a subtle level Destiny perceived the significance of a cupid symbol for me. Unbeknownst to her, I was grieving the recent loss of my 22-year-old beloved son, Byron. On Mother’s Day Byron had given me a golden cupid candle holder, and he told me, “Mom, this little cupid will always bring love and protect you.” I gave Destiny and my partner a three-way hug. I felt a peaceful, loving shift within me, connected to Byron’s spirit, myself and my magical young teachers.
Captivated with the experience, I asked Destiny,”How are you was so confident in doing the techniques?” Her answer was awesomely simple, “I just see the Matrix, and connect what’s missing.” At that moment Justice’s voice rang out over the microphone, “Remember in the Matrix our perception of time and space alters and physical and emotional conditions can be resolved with the speed of thought.” I nodded in agreement. Somehow I felt lighter, in preparation to live fully in Byron’s memory, ladened with expansive possibilities yet to be revealed.
As a child advocate, I have been concerned with the pervasive techno invasion – mind-numbing TV, addictive video games bent on violence. And with the computer mania., youth create a virtual community of friends, and the habitual group-think programming, limiting the expression of their unique individuality.
Kid Matrix promotes ‘Learning to see what you don’t see’ and ‘Keeping the magic alive’ as a self-directed healing and life-skill technology. It identifies what kids intuit, perceive and understand naturally, so they won’t lose it, only to relearn what’s natural later on when the analytical mind prevails (often turning- off the tenets of curiosity, imagination and the openness to learn). Using archetypes, imaginative time-travel, and attuning to energy frequencies the youngsters (and parents alike) were happy kids romping about in a candy shop, playing and instantaneously adopting both intuitive and practical decision making life-skills.
We played in the Matrix zone, learning practical lessons in building trust, intuition, communication between peers, kids and parents. Choosing to observe our reactions in a new way, our limited concepts collapse and new possibilities materialize instantly.
Parents-adults rediscovered the art of play through arts and crafts, games and film clips. . Tapping into curiosity and innocence- ‘Not needing to know’- gave space for the all-knowing-intuitive ‘inner child’ to emerge, triggering ‘Joy as a way of Being’.
Hurrah for the younger kids whose analytical mind had not taken over. They still live in the realm of an imaginative inner and outer awareness. In the majority of adults this connected life force often lies dormant, with a vague memory of freedom’s spirit- while climbing a tree, having a butterfly land on your nose, to seeing sparkling waves scintillating in the sun in the ocean or pool. You learn to live in an awareness filled with curiosity, not programmed as a societal herd-ish clone. A vivid imagination is the source of living life as a creative potential of infinite possibilities. Matrix Kids elicits the combination of the wizardry of Harry Potter, the genius of Einstein to the radiant hope of “E.T.” (Film clips complemented Matrix concepts).
Call to all families… Opt in for Kids Matrix… Get your ticket. You are the main ride. The focus is on clarity, open communication, connecting with yourself and family members, being mindful and present. How refreshing to discover this long lost art that is available in our rush-rush, hurry up, fast-food world.
What a ball! A weekend filled with fun and surprise as we became shamans, healing our wounds and re-discovering joy. As described by Justice, “Shamans are wizards with their feet on the ground.”
