unlimited healing potential of __________.
The reason I leave a blank is that once you
name it, __________, its not that. If you
did want to name it, you could call it grace,
the feld, God, the zero-point feld, or any
other name; but once you name it, you
limit it, and its not that. In fact its no thing,
and every thing.
Sounds confusing, doesnt it? If it does
that can be a good thing. It leaves a little
wiggle room. This allows for the potential
for the universe or grace or whatever it is
to slip in and transform.
These are not new ideas, but have been
alluded to and described throughout time
in various traditions from Christianity,
Buddhism, Yoga, and Quantum Physics

What is
Matrix Energetics?
And How Can It Help Me?

perspectives. Even Yoda alluded to it
when he said There is no try, only do.
He didnt get it totally right according
to Dr. Bartlett. Its more like Just Be.
Kinda like the bible verse that says,
Be still and know that I am God. What
this says to me is, Be Still, and what
happens when Im still? I know. And
what do I know?..... God. And what
is God? Defnitely something we cant
explain or put in a word. While Ive
studied many methods, it wasnt until I
met Dr. Richard Bartlett that I saw how
it can be tapped into in order to allow
healing and transformation on a real
and quantifable level. Dr. Bartlett was
given a gift and shown a powerful way
to access that healing space and has
been able to teach us how to access it
as well. He deserves credit for the way
Im explaining this now.
What Im talking about is not only
healing the injury someone comes in to
fx up, but also changing in ways that
we could not predict or even imagine.
For example, I recently had a client tell
me she was grateful for having had a
shoulder injury because she would not
have found us and the other changes in
her life would not have happened if she
had not had a reason to come in. This
client now has signifcant changes in
long standing hand and foot numbness,
improvements in her relationships,
improvements in her mood, and a real
sense of peace for the frst time in
her life. She even reported no longer
fghting with her signifcant other. Her
shoulder is also no longer hurting or
limited.
Now when we ask, Whats different
since the last treatment, we get
answers that continue to amaze and
inspire us. And we know that we didnt
do it. How could we make changes like
that? We cant. But we can now access
the space that allows for healing to
occur. And healing can happen on all
levels.
Danielle, Kyoko, Brandon, Kim, Jen and
I are excited to have this to offer people
and want to share it. We are available
for group demos or a short individual
demo session. Please contact us, and
we can set up a time to experience
Matrix Energetics.
What Im talking about is
not only healing the injury
someone comes in to fx
up, but also changing in
ways that we could not
predict or even imagine.
Matrix Energetics is an amazing healing and transformation modality that works in the expression of subtle energy
physics and the concepts and laws of quantum physics, superstring theory and Rupert Sheldrakes Morphic
Resonance. It was invented by Dr. Richard Bartlett, D.C., N.D., who is both a chiropractor and a naturopath.
What people need to be able to do is access their own magic that makes them special and then they just release that
into the world. And that is the power of the universe, right there.
Dr. Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics founder
I believe we all have abilities that we havent unfolded because we never consider the possibility of what would happen
if we did!
Dr. Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics founder
Matrix Energetics begins with the assumption that our bodies are made of nothing but light and information.
Therefore, it is possible to create extraordinary healing effects upon the body, very simply, if you can suspend
your disbelief and open your mind up to new possibilities within the morphogenetic feld.
There are miracles that happen every day, in fact, they happen in between the blinks of our eyes,
Dr. Bartlett explains. But we miss them because we are only paying attention to what we are normally paying attention to.
When you let go, you are done. There is nothing to do. There is nothing to be, says Dr. Bartlett. Drop down, place intent
and let go. The let go is the most important part. Thats where things happen!
Although this process may sound complex, it is intended to be simple and direct. It is also meant to be a fun and
enjoyable experience for all.

Adapted from The Physics of Miracles:
Tapping Into the Field of Consciousness
Potential, 2009, Atria Books/Beyond
Words.)
You are consciousness. That is
what you are. You have chosen to
manifest the patterns of information
that appear in your personal reality
in the form of conditions, structures,
families, or fnances. At some level,
you have chosen everything in your
life. Sometimes we choose by not
choosing. All too often, some of us
choose by being in polarity with what
we do not want. If we do not want to
develop a state of disease, what do
we do? We eat right for our health.
There is a hidden bomb in that
concept, isnt there? If you eat right for
your health, what might you be doing?
At one level, you are eating to stave
off disease.
If you are eating healthy foods in
order to prevent disease, you are
in an unconscious relationship with
what you fear. If you are trying to
prevent your cholesterol numbers
from going up, you are in a struggle
with cholesterol. If you are taking
aspirin to prevent a heart attack or a
stroke, you are in an unconscious and
uncomfortable relationship with all of
those things. You are in a paired spin
with what you dont want. In such a
confguration, if your fears spin up,
your health can spiral down. When
did An apple a day keeps the doctor
away become An aspirin a day keeps
the doctor away? Dont buy into all
of the medical statistics so completely
that you become one!
It is one thing to eat in a way that
benefts you because you feel good
when you do it. And eating in this
manner might coexist with certain
principles of eating right for your
health. Your personal needs and your
energy, coupled with your beliefs,
defne what being healthy means
for you. This is why diet is such an
individual thing. A person can eat only
bacon, lose weight, have a healthy
heart, and have their insulin levels
go down. That diet might actually
represent good biochemistry for them.
Another person could eat only raw
salads and do just as well without any
other kinds of food. A person from
a different planet might consume
only raw sunlight and be full of light
and energy! However you decide to
eat should be congruent with your
personal and cultural references for
what is healthy for you.
WHY EATING RIGHT CAN
SOMETIMES BE WRONG
Health and disease as mandated
structures and norms are a bad idea.
As Ive already suggested, when
you are eating right for your health,
you might, unconsciously, be in a
relationship to, and a polarity with,
disease. Bacon could be really great
for your arteries. All right Doctor, if
you say so! No, only if you say so!
You can say, I love you bacon, and
it could be just fne to eat it. I am
being semi-serious. As a physician
I strongly suspect that much of the
nutritional research out there is
questionable at best. Much of the
so-called health research is actually
sponsored and paid for by huge
corporate conglomerates, including
the pharmaceutical giants.
When the research generates data
other than what is desired by these
companies, it can sometimes become
buried. If a study conficts with the
fnancial bottom line of the corporate
entity, a new study will quickly be
undertaken to shift the outcome in
favor of the product to be marketed. As
the villain in the Indiana Jones movie
The Last Crusade stated, I said to
trust no one, Dr. Jones, not even me.
The problem is that if enough people
believe a stated conclusion, it then
becomes a reality for those ideas that
fall into that particular box. That is why
I say there is a surprise in each box.
What particular box of beliefs have
you built around yourself, or allowed
others to construct for you?
Do not do something just because
the experts tell you to do it. Do it
because in the moment it feels right
and supports your physiology. Do it if it
supports your need or belief system as
it is showing up in the moment. Do you
hear the fexibility in that?
Richard Bartlett, DC, ND, is founder of

Richard Bartletts Matrix
Energetics workshops have
become tremendously popular
not just because the experience is
a cross between a healing seminar
and a rock concert, but because
what he teaches changes peoples
lives in ways they never thought
possible. What started for Richard
Bartlett as a series of treatments
in his chiropractic practice has
evolved into a technology of
consciousness for opening the
doors of possibility. Here he talks
to us about Matrix Energetics and
what makes it so unique.
Sounds True: You call Matrix
Energetics a technology of
consciousness. What does that
mean?
Richard Bartlett: One of the
challenges in teaching Matrix
Energetics is you dont want to over
defne it. You dont want to pigeonhole
it as a technique or a method of
problem-solving, because that
imposes limitations. Matrix Energetics
is about expanding our perceptual
model.
Each person has a set point, like a
thermostat, for what theyre willing
to believe, what theyre willing to
experience in the next moment, and
what they can actually sense in the
world.
With Matrix Energetics, you acknowl-
edge that every model has limitations.
Then you realize that you dont have
to play by those limitations and the key
word is play. Once you do that, you
embrace the idea that change can be
instantaneous. You dont have to worry
about how that change is going to
show up. All this is to invite the power
of grace. Grace is that limitless poten-
tial for something to happen, literally,
miracles to happen. The miracles
happen in between the spaces of con-
scious awareness.
Sounds True: What do you
mean by the spaces between?
Richard Bartlett: Our left-
brain consciousness puts
things together like frames in a
movie, processing snapshots of
experience in a way that appears
to be one continuous activity. It
works at a speed of maybe
one to twelve experiences
per second. The brain takes
each snapshot, then flters it
through our conceptual model,
and strings it together into
something that gives an illusion
of continuous activity.
Once you realize that, you can
say, In the space between
my perceptions, anything can
happen. If thats just a statement
in your head it wont do much,
but if you drop down, as we say
in Matrix Energetics, into your heart,
thats the place where intent can work.
It can happen in an instant. And if
you transcend the limitations of your
conceptual model just one time, that
can be enough to change everything
in your life.
Sounds True: When you talk about
the place where intent can work, do
you mean focused intention, as its
usually talked about?
Richard Bartlett: Not really. When
- 4 -
Bending the Rules of the univeRse:
An Interview with Richard Bartlett
Continued on page 5
people do practices based on the
power of intention, they tend to get
stuck in the conscious mind. The
trouble with focused intent is its
still based upon what we think can
happen. Youre supposed to visualize
what you want to happen, which is
about imposing an outcome on the
universe. Thats a left-brain, rational
method and it usually doesnt work.
Sounds True: So would you say the
rational mind is an obstacle in Matrix
Energetics?
Richard Bartlett: I dont see it
that way. Look, I have two medical
degreesIm a huge believer in
rationality! The rational mind is your
friend. All you need to do is go beyond
the idea that you can defne reality
with just your rational, conscious mind.
Because its much too limited. For
that we need the limitless processing
power of the right brain, or the
unconscious.
Theres something Sri Aurobindo,
the great Indian saint, said, There
are no physical laws in the universe.
Theyre more like suggestions. What
he means is that theyre hypnotic
suggestions that our unconscious
mind believes. Matrix Energetics helps
you let go of the rigidity of those rules
to be more fexible, and yet still retain
those rules as appropriate for your
reality.
One of the obstacles people hit
working with Matrix Energetics is
just the idea that something could be
so graceful, so easy, and so without
judgment. We dont believe things can
be that simple. One tactic you use to
get past this block is to overload the
left brain with information.
You feed the left brain all of this
scientifc data it can handle. Its all true
material, and the left brain thinks it
understands it, but nobody really does.
Not even the physicists. So as your
left brain tries to chew on that, it gets
out of the way of your right brain. And
it helps if you do it in a playful way.
Sounds True: Could you give me an
example?
Richard Bartlett: Sure. Lets look at
this idea. Quantum physics is getting
to the point where theyre saying
consciousness must be added to any
working model of reality. Everything
has a quantum feld, or what Rupert
Sheldrake called a morphic feld or
identity. Its almost like a blueprint.
These morphic felds are like foating
clouds of energy, of thought forms,
that just wait for someone to have a
thought, a feeling, or an intent. Our
thoughts polarize the quantum feld
like a magnet, with the larger feld
actually diffusing into your own the
smaller feld.
So heres where you start to play with
that concept. Think of it like the scene
in Ghostbusters, when Dan Akroyd
chooses the Stay-Puft Marshmallow
Man. He thought it was a pretty benign
choice, but then it turns into this great
monstrosity. Our thoughts are like
that. Theyre like these sticky, Stay-
Puft Marshmallow Men attempting to
destroy the city, and what we have to
do is develop different kinds of cities,
different kinds of powers, where we
learn to trust the innate divinity within
us.
You have to realize the universe is
completely unreal, just like the yogis
talked about. You cant just hold that
as a thought. You have to become
self-realized in that knowledge,
and that doesnt require effort. That
requires letting go, because the more
you try to grasp something like that,
the more tangled up youre going to be
in your own thoughts.
The more you practice in a playful
manner, a way that really gets you
out of the left-brain trap, the more
you create this awareness and
this morphic feld of instantaneous
transformation. You dont have to
believe it. You just start out by playing
with it, and then, at some point, you
realize its playing with you.
Sounds True: You talk a lot about
the role of silliness and play. Are they
useful in and of themselves?
Richard Bartlett: Its interesting about
play. You can redefne play to mean
anything. If you are driving down the
road, and you are fully engaged and
- 5 -
You feed the left brain
all of this scientifc
data it can handle. Its
all true material, and
the left brain thinks
it understands it, but
nobody really does. Not
even the physicists. So
as your left brain tries to
chew on that, it gets out
of the way of your right
brain. And it helps if you
do it in a playful way.

enjoying your car, that can be engaged
in play. Even if youre stuck in traffc,
you can choose to be stressed out, or
you can choose to be happy. Its that
attitude.
Its not play if youre saying, Well, Im
going to play for fve minutes because
its good for my blood pressure.
Im sorry. Youre not playing; youre
doing therapy. Play is when you
completely forget yourself, forget time,
forget space, forget that youre even
human, and youre just occupied with
a moment, and you could call it bliss.
The ancient yogis appeared to be
very serious, but they had this kind of
twinkle to their eyes, and they had this
little smile, kind of like, I know a joke,
which is the universe isnt real, and its
just playing with us, and Im playing
back!
Sounds True: There are lots of
other healing techniques out there,
and you say you dont want Matrix
Energetics limited to that. Whats the
difference between a technique and
what youre calling a technology of
consciousness?
Richard Bartlett: A technique is
developed to meet the needs of a
certain problem. But Einstein said
that problems cant be solved at the
same level of consciousness that
created them. That means you have
to transcend your existing conceptual
model to really get to the creative
potential, or what has been called
the quantum potential, the hidden
awareness in the universe.
The way you do this is you let go, you
stop seeing yourself as separate, and
you play like you mean it.
You play like a child, where youre
practically hallucinating. One of the
things that I insist upon in Matrix
Energetics is that it has observable,
reproducible phenomenon that can
be easily learned and then duplicated
by anyone, because if its only I that
could do it, then maybe youd have to
say, Oh, Im some fantastic healer.
Im not the best model for a healer. I
do everything wrong. I eat bacon for
breakfast, I drink coffee, I dont smoke
because I just cant stand it, but I
mean I probably would if it were just
because its a vice. I have every vice
imaginable, and I can even develop
some devices to improve my vices.
Its not about any of that, because if
it were, then it would be so limited,
no one would be able to approach
it, because theyd have to either be
holy, or meditating for 20 years, or
mastering qi or prana or all of these
things.
You can learn that stuff. I even have
techniques in Matrix Energetics,
like two-pointing and using the 21
Fundamental Frequencies. You can
learn techniques or practices exactly
right and get them down pat, but
unless you get into the playful state
that lets you set aside the conceptual
limits of time and space, your
techniques wont do much. Theyll
never transcend what you think is
possible.
Sounds True: One last question. Why
do people fall down on stage during
your seminars when you use the two-
point method on them?
Richard Bartlett: The falling down
thing is just one aspect of a larger
phenomenon we see a lot when
people frst experience Matrix
Energetics. I think it happens because
of the sudden understanding that
were just composed of light, just
photons and patterns of information.
When we interact with each other
on that basis, I think we change the
actual spin or velocity of the photons.
At that moment the left brain can no
longer track reality as being real, the
right brain takes over. You expand
out. The conscious mind cannot
keep up, and people tend to react by
falling down. Or they go into bliss,
or unconsciousness, or silliness, or
laughter, or see colors, or hallucinate
a frog on the foor next to them, or
any number of things. They can
experience joy. They can cry. They can
literally experience transcendence.
I had a banker who I two-pointed.
When I touched him, nothing appeared
to happen. Someone asked me out in
the audience, Well, why didnt he fall
down?
I said, I dont know! Lets ask him!
And I said, What happened? It didnt
look like much happened when I
touched you.
And he looked at me, he was still
having trouble talking, and he said,
When you touched me, my whole
body disappeared, I experienced the
void, I was out in outer space in a
transcendent phenomena that I still
cannot describe.
I said, Okay, thanks for sharing that!
Ive seen astonishing things happen
to people when they make room
for miracles to show up. Ive seen
spontaneous healings-like broken
feet getting healed in an instant.
These things break our conceptual
guidelines, but you realize theyre
perfectly natural and normal when you
see laws of the universe are more like
suggestions.
If we expect miracles, we are more
likely to experience them, but that
doesnt mean your life should be
predicated on the need for a miracle.
When you need a miracle, or you need
to be healed, or you need something
to happen, your own expectations of
what will happen if it doesnt are in the
way. When you let go of the need for
something to happen or not happen,
thats where grace resides. And
anythings possible there.

Manual Therapists Access Positive Outcomes
by Collapsing the Matrix Energetics Wave
by Kimberly Burnham, PhD, IMTC, Matrix Energetics
Certifed Practitioner
Physicist Fred Allen Wolfe talks about waves
of possibility and particles of experience.
Matrix Energetics Richard Bartlett encourages
practitioners to put their two hands in two places,
accessing the wave and observing something
which collapses the wave, enabling the client to
experience a change.
The magic is in how to collapse the wave of
possibilities so the client has the particles of the
experience they want to have. Often they want
pain-free full range of motion
and balanced musculoskeletal,
organ, immune, nervous
system, and cellular function.
When a client walks into my
offce with shoulder pain,
usually they want to be having
a different experience of that
pain by the time they walk out
of my offce. As they walk in
there are many possibilities,
a wave of possibilities, both of
what is going on and what can
be used to access a change.
Some of the possibilities
include: they have pain in
the shoulder, they dont have
shoulder pain, they have pain
due to shoulder injuries in the
past, they are pain-free in the future, the heart
is infuencing the shoulder pain, bone health
improvements could help range of motion, etc.
There are many, many possibilities, but the client
typically is only experiencing the particles of my
shoulder hurts.
One of my privileges as a Matrix Energetics
practitioner is to observe something or shift
something or do something that allows the
client to experience a different --- hopefully from
their perspective better --- reality of health and
function.
Matrix Energetics offers many ways to drop down
and collapse the wave so the client has a different
experience. Many other techniques can also be
incorporated to collapse the wave so there is a
favorable outcome.
I might choose to use the Integrative Manual
Therapy Bone Bruise technique to collapse the
wave to a different experience of bone health in
the shoulder or a ligament-related IMT Template
or Acupressure points from the Heart meridian
or Myofascial Release for
the shoulder or Strain and
Counterstrain for the relaxation
of the arteries of the arm or
access to the heart chakra.
There are many ways to shift
that persons experience of
what is going on. What I chose
to observe and address allows
them a new choice point. With
a well supported shoulder,
they can choose a different
experience.

enhance your practice and
skills and integrate them in a
