Indra's Net and Subtle Anatomy

 I have become curious about Indra's net, due to the work of a woman named Desda Zuckerman.  She see's the sublte anatomy a bit differently than is often found in traditional sources.

To summarize her work in a few lines, she sees a core running from top to bottom, and channel running 90 degrees and going through the center of the core (like a cross) as the base of each being/structure, from humans to planets.  

She says in her book Your Sacred Anatomy: An Owners Guide to the Human Energy Structure

"I believe Indra’s Net is an early description of the grand cross and that in it the threads are our channel and core making the Human Energy Structure the crystal bead that reflects all things."
She teaches a class call "The Edge" which delves much further into the very complex subtle anatomy.  In this class she teaches a way to ground our grounding cord into our sacred structure itself, as opposed to grounding into the earth.

I read a vast variety of beliefs, not purporting anything to be true or not. One of the books that was recommended to me was called Voyagers..which, as far as I have read so far, talks about extraterrestrial involvement with our planet, and some of the players and agendas in the story.
When I read
The desired result of this manipulation is to sever the actual energetic connection of the individual to the personal Soul Matrix and reconnect the individual to a “group mind” network existing within another dimensional structure
I thought about Desda's work.  This because, from my understanding of what she teaches, Indra's net is from "Source" and is the formation of all beings as she sees them.
 
When I looked up Indra's net on Wikipedia, I found this description
According to Rajiv Malhotra, the earliest reference to a net belonging to Indra is in the Atharva Veda (c. 1000 BCE).[11] Verse 8.8.6. says:
Vast indeed is the tactical net of great Indra, mighty of action and tempestuous of great speed. By that net, O Indra, pounce upon all the enemies so that none of the enemies may escape the arrest and punishment.

The net was one of the weapons of the sky-god Indra, used to snare and entangle enemies. The net also signifies magic or illusion. According to Teun Goudriaan, Indra is conceived in the Rig Veda as a great magician, tricking his enemies with their own weapons, thereby continuing human life and prosperity on earth.
This post is a question really...
What is Indra's net
What is this net that Desda sees?
As some one who has used Desda's methods, what is it I ground into if I only ground into my own subtle anatomy, that is floating on this net?

About Meditation Notes

These are just notes from a Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) class about meditation that seem interesting.

I was taught transcendental meditation at the age of 4, and have continued exploring meditation throughout my life.   I have experienced a vast spectrum of experiences during meditation, as well as a plethora of different techniques and theories as to what meditation means, it's purpose, reasons, and potential results.

These notes remind me that meditation can mean so many things...

From: Meditation; It's not What You Think

...meditation is actually a process—one of investigating your own mind and changing the way you relate to your thoughts.
 
... What’s easily confused is that the instructions for meditation are in fact not the goal of meditation.  In other words, while we aim to maintain focus on the breath, the goal is really to learn about our minds.... With practice, we begin to realize that thoughts and emotions that naturally arise will also naturally pass away. We realize they don’t always need to be acted upon, and that they aren’t as “real” as they seem.

... Cognitive models are also beginning to be put forth about how meditation works psychologically, an important step for framing future research that will give us a clearer map of the mind. And moving beyond the psychological, researchers are seeking to clarify how cognitive and neural changes brought about through meditation can extend to our physical bodies...

... What science is proving time and again is that with intention and diligent practice, you can literally change your brain.

This understanding has been a revolution for neuroscientists and psychologists who thought for decades that the brain was fairly “fixed” after late adolescence....
 
Studies examining brain structure have found that meditation is associated with increased gray matter density, increased cortical thickness, and increased integrity of connections between brain regions important for cognitive control. Recent work shows that the more hours someone has meditated, the more cortical folding of the insula—an area important for autonomic, emotional, and cognitive integration. 

“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” —Amit Ray

Meditation teaches us not to get hijacked by worry, or to try to impose tyrannical control over our thoughts and feelings.
