Absorption of Universal energy to aid manifestation has been the forte of many mystics down the ages. Here, I share a three-fold technique that has worked for me and some honourable mystics I know.
The tools needed to get the best out of this practice are concentration, imagination and ‘Will Power’. If you ardently practised all the exercises assigned in the previous studies, these tools should be ready to hand.
PRACTICE 1 – ABSORPTION OF UNIVERSAL ENERGY
Section A – With Bright Pink Light
1. Sit erect in a quiet place, where you can enjoy some privacy.
2. Close your eyes and let your hands rest calmly on your thighs.
3. Image a beam of bright pink light spreading out from your heart.
4. Count up to 9 heartbeats
5. Imagine this beam gathering into a brilliant ball of pink light about 3 feet in diameter and hanging 2 feet above your head.
6. Visualize the bright rays of the pink light penetrating the crown of your head, and travelling along your spinal cord to the base or root of the spine. When it arrives here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count 15 heartbeats during this portion of the visualization.
7. Next imagine the bright pink ball of light growing bigger and descending at the same time. It covers your head and shoulders first, and eventually your entire body is engulfed in this bright pink light.Your are surrounded by pink Divine energy and you can feel it finding its way into your entire body and filling you with Universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.
Section B – With Bright Blue Light
1. With your eyes still shut, imagine a beam of bright blue light spreading out from your throat.
2. Count up to 9 heartbeats.
3. Imagine this beam gathering into a brilliant ball of blue light about 3 feet in diameter and hanging 2 feet above your head.
4. Visualize the bright rays of the blue light penetrating the crown of your head, and travelling along your spinal cord to the base or root of the spine. When it arrives here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count 15 heartbeats during this part of the visualization.
5. Next imagine the bright blue ball of light growing bigger and descending at the same time. It covers your head and shoulders first, and eventually your entire body is engulfed in this bright blue light. Your are surrounded by blue Divine energy and you can feel it finding its way into your entire body and filling you with Universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.
Section C – With Bright White Light
1. With your eyes still shut, this time imagine a beam of bright white light spreading out from the space between your eyebrows, otherwise known as the ‘third eye’.
2. Count up to 9 heartbeats.
3. Imagine this beam gathering into a brilliant ball of white light about 3 feet in diameter and hanging 2 feet above your head.
4. Visualize the bright rays of the white light penetrating the crown of your head, and travelling along your spinal cord to the base or root of the spine. When it arrives here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count15 heartbeats during this part of the visualization.
5. Next imagine the bright white ball of light growing bigger and descending at the same time. It covers your head and shoulders first, and eventually your entire body is engulfed in this bright white light. Your are surrounded by white Divine energy, and you can fill it finding its way into your entire body and filling you with Universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.
*This marks the end of one cycle. Repeat the cycle three times, and Practice 1 is completed.
Transition Between Practice 1 and Practice 2
Take in a complete breath and exhale (emptying your lungs). As you do this imagine the white light that surrounded you at the end of Practice 1, gathering on top of your head again. It is 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet above your head. Practice 2 now begins.
PRACTICE 2
1. Take in a complete breath to the count of 4 heartbeats. Whilst you do this imagine the white ball of light shining brightly above your head and in every direction (it is not entering your body at this stage).
2. Breath out counting 11 heartbeats. Whilst you breath out imagine the bright white rays from the ball of light above you penetrating the crown of your head and filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. This is the end of one round. Note that you don’t hold you breath in this practice.
3. Practise 10 rounds of this – white light shining above you whilst you breath in (4 heartbeats) and bright white rays entering your body whilst you breath out (11 heartbeats). This should be the end of Practice 2.
Transition Between Practice 2 and Practice 3
Take in a complete breath and exhale (emptying your lungs). Whilst you do this, imagine the white bright ball of light above you growing bigger and descending at the same time. It first covers your head, your shoulders and eventually, you are engulfed – by the time you empty your lungs. Now Practice 3 begins.
PRACTICE 3 – ABSORPTION OF UNIVERSAL ENERGY USING RHYTHMIC BREATHING.
1. Your eyes are still shut, and you are surrounded by bright white light.
2. Take in a complete breath, counting 8 heartbeats. During the inhalation, imagine drawing Universal energy from the white light that surrounds you to fill every cell in your body.
3. Hold your breath to a count of 4 heartbeats. In this interval, imagine the Universal energy in your body (in addition to what has been stored in your cells), being stored as reserve in your solar plexus. Fix your attention on your solar plexus and use your ‘Will Power’ to direct reserve energy there for storage.
4. Exhale (emptying your lungs) to a count of 8 heartbeats. Whilst you do this imagine any Universal energy that is not needed in your body at that point in time coming out through the soles of your feet and the crown of your head.
5. Count 4 heartbeats at the interval between the end of exhalation and when the next inhalation starts. During this period think of how energetic you are becoming, being filled with Universal energy. Also keep your awareness on the bright white light that engulfs you, from which you are going to draw further energy. This is the end of round 1.
6. Repeat up to 10 rounds.
Note: There should be a smooth transition between Practices 1, 2 and 3. The three Practices constitute one session, and there is no break whatsoever. If you find your mind wandering elsewhere, calmly shift it back to the task in hand. Practice 1, 2 and 3 combined should be practiced at least once a day, ideally first thing in the morning. It won’t take you very long to see the potency of this trio in your working day.
In the course of the day, if you feel tired, it’s alright to take the 3 Practices apart and practise anyone of them you will be comfortable with at the workplace. You will feel re-energised straightaway.
