What I refer to as the spiritual realm is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to
define in any sort of extensional way. Instead I will attempt to describe it through its characteristics and thereby create an intensional definition of sorts. It is part of the manifested world but most humans do not consciously experience it as it is more subtle than our ordinary world of experience. It is
also not subject to the same laws as is what we call the physical world, because it is not confined to space/time.
There is no such thing as space or time in the spiritual realm, no experience of closeness or distance. Furthermore, in the spiritual realm manifestations are discernible through differences in their feeling-state/frequency rather than
through differences in for example visual properties such as those described in Gestalt psychology. Lastly, the spiritual realm by default brings a sense of peace to the experiencer and it can also be used as a medium for spiritual activities. I believe that connection with the spiritual realm is a central component in the development of humanity and this is the reason why I have made it the focus of these courses.

 

In this course it is especially advisable for you to sit in full lotus position while you do your exercises. The reason for this is that it will keep you grounded and prevent physical damage while you engage in spiritual activities. In the lotus
position you place your feet on the opposing thigh in this manner:
The hands may be placed in various positions called mudras, which cause varying effects depending on the position. For our purpose, the well-known gyan mudra will be satisfactory:
Place your hands on your knees with the palms facing upwards and thumb and forefinger touching, like above.
Relax the rest of the fingers. This is the position that we are going to use throughout this course.

In this exercise we will complete the opening of the crown chakra. What I want you to do is to direct your energy through the chakra, like a pillar or an arm pushing open a circular door that opens much the same way a flower does.

One way of doing this is to set a point at about 2.5dm (~10”) above your head, and then establish a pillar of energy starting from inside your body and ending at that point, completely ignoring whatever is in its path. Practice this until you feel that the top of your head is no longer an obstacle to your energy so that you can easily at will extend your consciousness to above your head in this way.
EXERCISE 2: BE ABOVE YOUR CROWN CHAKRA
If you’ve mastered the previous exercise, this one will be easy. It simply consists of placing your consciousness above your crown chakra and staying there. The hardest part is as usual to maintain your focus and not fall prey to distractions.
Practice until you’re able to maintain this state for 20 minutes relatively easily.
During this exercise you are likely to have extraordinary experiences. You may for example become aware of a big circular light, like a white sun or star, that you see when you close your eyes. This is the light of your soul. If you have this experience, stay with it as the next exercise is about connecting with the spiritual realm and this experience means that you’ve done that already so then you’ve got a head start.

Very good! You’ve come a long way, my friend. Now we will take the final step and connect with the spiritual realm. The crucial change here is that instead of being above your crown chakra spatially, you use the crown chakra as a portal
so that the world above it is the spiritual world rather than your ceiling. Many of you have likely intuitively taken this step already but for those who haven’t, here’s what you do.
First, focus your awareness above your crown chakra as in the previous exercise but be careful to maintain the energy pillar down to your body so that you can feel your body.
Then, present the intention to connect with the spiritual world. You should experience a shift, as though something clicks into place or something comes into your field of experience. At this point, just relax and let it transpire. What
you experience now will likely be unique but one example is a brightness that comes from above and flows into you through the crown chakra and merges with you. Another example is the experience of a vast, dark space. The
common denominator is the sensation of eternity. Now try to stay with this for a while. Make yourself aware of what it feels like, this will make it easier for you to come back to this state of being later. Once you feel like you’ve got the hang
of it, you can experiment with rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting again. Eventually you should be able to easily connect no matter the situation. It’s actually possible to stay connected to the spiritual realm all the time, at least while you’re awake. In my experience you automatically close the crown chakra when you go to sleep so that may prove tougher.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE: EXPERIMENT!
Congratulations, you made it! The course is really finished now, the benefits such as peace of mind will automatically be granted as long as you stay connected, but as I said in the beginning the spiritual realm can also be used as a medium for spiritual activities. For example, try to communicate telepathically with the spiritual realm while you’re connected and see what happens.

You travel with
your consciousness through the body, one part at a time.
Again, you’re going to at first just sense the body part. But
this time, after you’ve done that for a little while, you’re
going to increase the energy flow in it. Now, you shouldn’t
rush the blood flow like crazy the way you did with your
hands in exercise 1. That was an exercise to practice
directing energy in general, but now you’re going to be more
nuanced and pay attention to how the body part is reacting
to what you’re doing to it. So, increase the energy flow but
only with a reasonable amount, try to find out what kind of
energy is good for that specific body part by paying attention
to what happens with it. If it starts feeling uncomfortable it
means that what you’re doing isn’t all that great so then you
need to try something else. If you for example start feeling
dizzy, you need to make the energy denser and a bit slower,
like a general sense of well-being. Practice on your hands if
you feel that it’s difficult to be as nuanced as I have
described, by increasing the flow, decreasing it, making it
thinner, denser, warmer, colder, and so on. Feel free to
experiment.

APPLICATIONS
Now you have a good general understanding of energy
manipulation, now it’s time to get to the juicy stuff! There
are really so many possibilities of what you can do with this,
and I really recommend that you experiment on your own
with the things that you want to do, so I’m just going to
cover a few applications here to get your imagination going.

FASTER RECOVERY FROM INJURIES

Energy in the body flows through channels, and pain occurs
when the energy flow is obstructed for some reason but the
energy itself keeps on pushing. One of these reasons are
physical injuries. In order to heal the injury faster, what you
need to do is to aid with your consciousness the natural flow
of energy in that place. If you rush the flow too much before the obstruction is penetrated it will just get worse so this
takes some delicate maneuvering. If you widen the channels
a bit in the direction that the energy is trying to pass, you
should feel some relief as the energy isn’t as obstructed as
before. It can take some time to get noticeable results, so be
prepared to sit for an hour or two when you do this. Once
again, experiment, pay attention to what happens when you
do something to it and adjust your actions accordingly. It is
hard to give general directions except that what needs to be
done is for the obstruction to be cleared and the energy flow
through it restored.

STRONGER MUSCLES

Obviously the best way to get stronger muscles is to exercise
them, but it also matters a lot where your focus is. If you
have your consciousness right in your muscles when you do
the exercise, you’re going to be a lot stronger than if you’re
for example thinking about what you’re going to eat later on.
Focus your attention on the task at hand and nothing else,
that is the way to make the most of your muscles. And use
your lungs well to get renewed energy. If you have worked
out hard and want to make the resting more efficient, create
a powerful energy flow through your muscles and they will
recover more quickly.

RESISTANCE TO DISEASES

This part is really a very broad subject, but there is some
general advice that I can give. The lungs and the liver play
important parts in keeping you healthy, so breathing
exercises can be good, as well as physical exercise to a
degree. What you’re looking for is a flow of energy in your
body that is fast enough to be strong and resilient, but slow
enough to feel comfortable for you. Qi gong is very good for
maintaining health in this way. Read up on traditional
Chinese medicine if you’re interested in the details.

What I want you to do is simply to place your hands in front of you, take a quick mental note of how they feel and then put all your focus and senses into your right hand, imagine all the blood in your body going into your right hand, the blood circulation there increasing greatly. If you find it difficult, you can take a few big heaving breaths first. Do this for 30 seconds and then see if you can feel any difference between your right hand and your left hand. If you’re successful, you should feel for example more warmth, maybe some tingling or other sensations in your right hand that are missing in the left hand. Then do this to your left hand for 30 seconds, and observe the results again. Repeat as many times as you desire, this is a good way to practice directing energy. As you progress, you’ll find it gets easier and faster to achieve the results.

OPTIONAL EXERCISE

Now you are able to increase the blood flow in your hands. You can also try decreasing it by doing the opposite. When the blood circulation is low it is colder and less vibrant, so you can try to visualize that your blood is moving very slowly in your hand, almost stopping entirely and that it’s getting cold, and see what happens. This is not very healthy so I wouldn’t recommend doing it too much.

For this purpose we combine traditional reflexology techniques with articulation and strokes derived from various schools of healing including osteopathy, acupressure, massage etc

A certain amount of tension is necessary in our lives. We need tension to function in this world and achieve our goals.

Many people feel helpless to find a way out from this psycho-physical condition. The truth is that for many of us there are simple and easy techniques which can be easily applied and can bring a positive and long lasting change in our lives and most important this liberating change can come about without drugs.
