Meditational exercises on sensing, chakras, aura and imagination – Part 1

Part 1

In a world geared towards instant gratification, we easily get bored and lose interest. Yet to make progress in any discipline, we need to appreciate that Understanding is a process of repetition, cumulative experience, and insight.

Experience is only meaningful when we are present in our bodies, and insight requires us to have been present in all three centres: body, emotions, and mind.

The purpose of the following exercises, which will be divided into a few separate mini podcasts, is to help you connect with your body, your chakras, your imagination, and your aura as a prelude to aid in your psychic development. 

Your focus, attention span, body awareness, and capacity for placing your consciousness within parts of your anatomy and in time beyond your body will, with practice, also increase. With body awareness and the ability to focus on your muscles and structure. Your health will also slowly but surely improve as you learn to release and stop the accumulation of physical tensions.

Meditational exercise – part 1, connecting with our structure and 5 of the chakra segments.

Choose how to sit: lying, semi-reclined, upright on a chair, or cross-legged. You want to be comfortable but not so much that you will fall asleep! So it is preferable to keep your eyes open, relaxed, and unfocused.

The Process

*We will divide the torso and head  into 5 segments

At each segment, I will be asking you to imagine yourself behind yourself and with your etheric hands to connect with various bones, organs and tissues. I call this kinesthetic sensing.

So, let’s do a little practice run

Bring your hands up in front, parallel to each other.  Place your focus into both hands, then bring them towards each other slowly. Do this a few times.

Now, with eyes closed, repeat the exercise by connecting to the frontal lobes as you imagine going through the various moves with your hands. Sense the energetic pressure. Relax

Try this now, touch your nose with your etheric hand, notice the increase in sensation in your nose. We will apply this principle as we connect with body parts as a means of generating sensation.

The Hands Position

If that wasn’t enough, I want you to place your finger in this configuration, which you will maintain for the initial 10 minutes

We will aim to spend 2 minutes at each of the 5 segments. That will take 10 minutes, then for the last 5 minutes we will link the third eye with the heart.

Smile to the eyes (soften them) and smile with the corners of your lips.

Focus on the frontal lobes behind your forehead, sense a little pressure, and relax into it. This is the location of the 3^rd eye. Our imagination. And gateway to our unconscious

Step one

Imagine that there is a large fabric plaster stuck to your forehead now. Use your etheric hands from behind, one hand will support your head whilst the other, coming around from behind, will pull and peel the plaster away.

Etheric hands

1. 1. 2nd segment: from inside your forehead, focus on your lower abdomen,  between the belly button and the top of the pubic bone

Begin with your lower back between the 4^th and 5^th lumbar, sense them, then move forward through the small intestine, bladder, ascending and descending parts of the colon. Direct sensations are what we are after.  ‘Be‘ your first segment. Lose focus? Go back and connect once more. Distractions are inevitable. Keep going back. There are many nerve endings in the lower abdomen. Connect with them; it doesn’t matter if you can’t identify their exact location

2. 3rd segment: between  the belly button and the bottom tip of the sternum (Xiphoid process)

Bring your awareness to your spine from the 3^rd lumbar up to the 12^th thoracic ( which is the bottom edge of your ribcage. It is enough to get a sense of them rather than identifying them individually, and spread your senses outward to the surrounding involuntary muscles.

Spread your sense forward through the tissues,  the lower edges of your ribs, both sides of your internal organs, colon and small intestines towards the front. For now, it is sufficient to just get an overall sense of them. With soft eyes, smile to the whole of the 3rd. segment

3. 4^th segment:  come up to the heart, see it from your frontal lobes within your forehead. With soft eyes, sense your heart, and if you are really quiet, you might sense the thumping of your heart in your ribcage. There is a magnetic field surrounding the heart. Smile as you gaze with your inner eye and sense it, be one with it. Smile to your heart, cup it with your etheric hands.

Sometimes it can be easier to sense the heartbeat in your throat arteries. If you succeed here, you can explore further and sense it beating inside your belly button area.

4. 5^th segment: The next compartment is to do with the throat chakra, which incorporates the lungs/space, upper back/ shoulders, as well as the lower part of the neck up to the Adam’s/Eve apple.

We’ll start with the spine from T11 up to thoracic 1, smile, sense, with your etheric hands, sense each vertebra as well as the ribs connected to each vertebra around the body towards the front sternum. Relax into the intercostal muscles.

Relax and connect with the shoulder blades and shoulder muscles, drop them, and let go.

Come forward to the lungs, sense them, smile as you follow their path upwards to the bronchial tubes and your throat

Now put it all together for this 5th section and smile to the entire rib cage, lungs, shoulders, and throat up to the Adam’s apple all at once.

5. 6^th segment: From the throat, shift your focus back to the spine to the cervical, there are 7 of them, but you can sense them all together. Put your etheric hands around them, cup them, and smile. Come forward to the lower jaw sense it with your etheric hands, move up to the hinge between lower and upper, sense your cheeks, nasal cavity, orbital bones around the eyes, move back towards the ears to the temporal bones beneath. Backwards to the occipital bone and cranial bones above. Descend into your brain, smile and move forward to the frontal lobes, into the third eye once more.

6. From the third eye, come into your heart once more. Connect heart and third eye. Smile from the heart, expand to encompass the whole of your body, front and back. Be aware of your breath, but don’t interfere with it. Yet sense you lower ribs, and allow them to expand and contract with your breathing. Whilst continuing to focus on the whole of your body

If you find yourself getting stuck, focus on the out-breath.
