WHAT IS ETHERIC AND ETHERIC ENERGY?

 

This refers to a type of substance or ether, as it were, that is beginning to permeate the physical matter of the earth.  It is called chi, qi, vital force, prana and other names by various authors at different times.  It activates and gives life to all beings in this physical world.  It must be present or life ceases.  It cannot usually be seen, but its effects can be felt easily as the warmth of physical bodies, for example, and even the sunlight and the moonlight.

It is a type of etheric or fine matter that is finer than that which is used in the atoms of the earth at this time.  This means it is a very subtle atomic energy that will be slowing replacing the atomic matter or electrons of the physical matter on earth.  For the ways that it will affect people in society, please read The Etheric Revolution on this website.

 

What is the energy of the etheric?  When one refers to etheric energy, one is referring to the properties of this very subtle type of atomic structure or matter or particles.  This is all that the words Ôetheric energyÕ refer to.  In other words, there is no such thing as a special type of electricity due to etheric energy.  Etheric matter will begin to penetrate everything on the earth in the next hundred years, and it will bring about a revolution in the technical, social, poitical and other spheres of human activity.

New sources of energy.  This will give rise to new sources of energy, for example, which are available today but will be exploited so that there will be no need for oil, gas or other older fossil fuels.  Nor will we need windmills, which are ugly, or solar cells, which are inefficient. 

Some of this energy is used in current power plants, as all energy on the planet is derived the sun indirectly, of course, such as hydroelectric power, burning of anything, and so.  Part of the etheric revolution will be the discovery of how to tap the energy directly, so one does not need to do it indirectly through the wind, the sun, the tides or fossil fuels, corn ethanol, etc.

So when we speak of etheric energy, we are really speaking of deriving energy directly from its source, the sun, instead of having to do so indirectly by the wind, water, fuels, etc.  In this regard, there is no such thing as etheric energy, per se, or it may be more correct to say that everything is basically etheric energy, as this is the pure energy of the sun.  It is a wave-and-particle type of energy, but that is more of a physics concept that is not important for the discussion here.

 

HUMANS AND ETHERIC ENERGY

 

What is physical life?  Physical life on physical planets is an outworking or manifestation of etheric energy.  It is a very complex process, but basically certain atoms are excited by the vital force or etheric force and when enough of it is present, the body or organism becomes self-reproducing and this is what we call life.  It is present in the rocks, the minerals, the plants the animals and of course, human beings as well.  It is also present in bacteria, viruses, and all other living and so-called inanimate objects as well.

The etheric energy sets in motion certain biological processes such as enzymes, minerals, vitamins, hormones, etc. in such a way that self-reproducing organisms are able to thrive.  In this sense, life is a mechanical process like a car engine, only the ÒfuelÓ that keeps it running and fixing or correcting itself is etheric energy.

Human life is even more than this, but the essential fact for this article is that the physical body is an etheric-powered machine.  Without this hidden energy source, it would soon wither.  Physical food and water are needed, as well, to fuel the machine, but without the etheric component the food would not activate the body for long.

Life is thus not a self-generating or self-propagating, ant-entropic or Òfree energyÓ phenomenon, as some would have us believe.  It is, in fact, dependent upon a Òstorage batteryÓ of energy that is very subtle, but very real, nevertheless called etheric energy. 

The etheric pulse of life.  If the etheric ÒdriverÓ were to run down, which happens every few trillion years, the entire physical universe, even the planets and stars, cease to exist.  This phenomenon, in fact, is discussed in certain Oriental texts. 

When the etheric force pulses forth and then withdraws, it is called an ÒageÓ orÒeonÓ.  Such books assert that we are in the middle of one such pulse or age, and the etheric force will soon begin to ebb, once again.  As a result, many souls want to move on to survive the reduction in the etheric pulse of energy that activates an age or an eon of time. 

The aura and the etheric energy. The only direct manifestation of the etheric energy that most are aware of is a slight glow around all objects and beings that can be seen by some people, and will be seen by more and more as time goes on.  This has traditionally been called the aura or energy field around any object in space and time.  It is the mark of living beings as well. The concept of the aura is discussed in a separate article on this website entitled The Aura.

Healing and the etheric.  Etheric is beyond the physical and even an electrical dimension of reality.  The electrical dimension includes most of energetic healing, acupuncture and many other energetic therapies.  The etheric level is not easily accessable directly by most people.  However, balancing the oxidation rate, correcting the major mineral ratios, removing toxic metals, and replacing preferred minerals in thousands of enzymes will enhance the bodyÕs ability to absorb etheric energy greatly.  It an also stop etheric ÒleaksÓ of energy, and improve the bodyÕs ability to store etheric energy much better.  All of these are ways that nutritional balancing science, unlike most medical and holistic sciences, can extend life and maintain and restore health.

 

Twin aspects of etheric energy.  It is critical to understand the two aspects of etheric energy.  These are:

 

1. The intrinsic etheric with which we are born.  This comes through something called the silver cord, in Oriental wisdom texts.  It nourishes us as babies, along with food, of course, and when it runs out we die.

2. Environmental etheric.  This is the etheric energy found in food, air, water, objects such as gemstones, and even just places on earth that are sometimes called power places. 

These two sources or aspects of etheric energy are critical to understand for healing purposes.

 

What is aging, disease and death?  Aging is when the basic etheric energy each person is born with runs down.  Then the body ages and eventually dies.

Nutritional balancing can slow this process, but perhaps not stop it.  If one meditates properly, however, one can bring more etheric energy into the body, and this can extend life and improve health.  This has been known for millennia, especially in the orient.  Western science is not yet clued in to this fact, unfortunately, but that is why I am writing about it.  I have noticed the improvement in my health from this, even before I knew much about nutrition and healing.

 

THE INTRINSIC ETHERIC ENERGY

 

Once again, this is the etheric energy with which each person is born.  The amount actually varies somewhat, but not too much, from person to person.  This helps account for why some people abuse their bodies and minds, yet they live fairly long lives.  Others, meanwhile, are sickly from birth and do not live as long, even though they care for themselves well.  To some extent this may be determined by the amount of intrinsic etheric they are born with, though nutrition and other factors matter as well, of course.

 

How does the intrinsic etheric enter the body?  According to the ancient Chinese and Indian texts, it enters via Òthe silver cordÓ.  This, we are told, is a silvery-looking thin wire or cord that can be seen by some people.  It extends upward from the base of the skull in the back of the head, directly upwards in most cases.  It may waver a little as a person moves, but not much.  It is through this cord that the basic etheric of life enters the physical body.  When the cord is cut or stops pulsing, life soon ends. 

In this regard, we are like puppets on a string.  We are not independent beings at all.  We depend upon the Òumbilical cord of etheric energyÓ to keep us alive, as do the animals and the plants too.  Life, in other words, is not some spontaneous process whereby cells aggregate and suddenly come alive, as science often portrays it.  Life is very organized and only comes into being when the silvery cord is attached and functioning properly.

The other end of the cord goes into other dimensions, and this gets more technical than this article needs to be.  However, one can say it connects to a part of ourselves that never leaves its home in other realms.  Some call it the Òhigh selfÓ, the Òreal selfÓ, the Òone child of God or ChristÓ or other names.

 

What happens as we age?  As one ages, the silvery cord becomes thinner because less energy flows through it.  This is a way one can tell how ÒaliveÓ a person or even a plant is.  As aging occurs, the etheric with which the person was assigned this lifetime begins to run down and it eventually runs out, causing death of the physical body in every case. 

Note that the body still needs food, water, warmth and even love and affection in almost all cases.  However, there are cases in the Christian and Jewish and Eastern literature of people who, for example, lived only on church wafers, or only water, or even one or two who claim they did not even need water.  But this is very rare and please do not try this, as it is lethal for most everyone.  But at least it explains how it might be possible for a saint to do this.

 

Conserving and restoring the etheric energy in the body.  As one ages, one is supposed to develop other sources of this etheric energy that sustains life.  That is, one is supposed to learn to tap into more of the environmental etheric that is all around us. 

Also, one should learn to conserve the etheric energy with which each is born.  Together, this leads to what is called development on this website.  It is a complex process, but in this article I will explain the basics, as I understand it at this time.

 

Getting more etheric energy.  It is possible to take in etheric energy from the food, water, air, earth and even from some objects, possibly, such as gemstones and rocks that might be worn on the body.  Even metals such as gold and silver have more of it, which may be one reason these are highly valued in most societies.  They are precious in this regard, too.

For this to happen one must eat very good quality food, as fresh as possible, in most cases, although frozen food and dried food is not too bad.  Canned is usually not as good as the others.  Also, the air needs to contain plenty of oxygen, which is hard to come by these days, especially in cities, but really everywhere.  For this reason, we recommend an ozonator/ionizer air purifier, such as the Better Living unit or Ecoquest.  These will help a little if you place it in your bedroom and turn it on while you sleep.

Another thing is that the water must be clean and pure.  City or tap water is not as good as well or spring or distilled water.  Beware of reverse osmosis or alkaline water, as these have other problems and are not recommended for drinking.  Also, do not add minerals, sodium bicarbonate or other things to pure water.  Mild teas are fine, however.

 

Conserving etheric energy.  The second way to increase your etheric energy is by conserving the etheric that you already have and by increasing the bodyÕs ability to absorb it from the food, air, water and other places.  That is, one can conserve oneÕs intrinsic etheric energy and increase oneÕs ability to absorb more environmental etheric energy.

 

How to conserve your intrinsic etheric energy. This is done primarily in two or three ways:

 

1. More rest. To really conserve and restore the etheric, most people today need 10 or more hours of sold sleep every single night.  I know this sounds impossible or difficult, but try to do this as much as possible.  Do not skip your afternoon naps on the weekends, and go to bed early.  Going to bed by 9 Pm seems to reduce the need for sleep to some degree, though people still need loads of rest.  There are many complex reasons for this.  For more on this subject, read Rest and Sleep on this website.

 

2. Sexual restraint. In addition to more rest, in the old days, sexual continence was considered important for this, and it still is important.  This is why the modern loose morals of society are harmful for both men and women, though they are worse for the men.  The women reabsorb some of their vital sexual fluids, including their eggs, of course, but the men just lose it all.  So this is an important factor.  It does not mean one must avoid all love and sex, but it means that retaining oneÕs fluids is most helpful for long life and health. 

I know some so-called health authorities will not agree, saying that sex is good for the prostate gland, for example.  This is true.  However, at other levels sex depletes the etheric with which each person is born, so it is not good at this level, which is a deeper and more important level.  If a man has prostate problems, which most do at some age, he should follow a nutritional balancing program and it will self-correct in most cases.

 

3. Staying warm. Other ways to conserve the etheric one is born with is to stay warm at all times.  This is a problem for women, I have found, more than men.  The women, in an effort to look fashionable, often wear no socks, and walk around in short sleeves, no sleeves, or even with bare shoulders when they should be far more covered up just to stay warm.  It is possible to dress nicely without uncovering the body, though I know it is fashionable these days.  This is an important issue for women, and it causes much illness in young and middle-aged women today.

Men have the same problem, but covering up is more accepted so they donÕt hesitate to put on more clothing when they are chilled.  Too many women just donÕt have the fortitude to say they are not going to wear the short dresses, no socks, no jacket, and so on.  Intelligent women need to dress warmly at all times, no matter how unfashionable it appears.  At least carry a sweater or jacket at all times, and wear socks most of the time to keep the feet and legs warm.

 

4. Balancing yin and yang forces in the body.  Nutritional balancing focuses on a facet of nutrition and lifestyle called yin and yang.  It derives from macrobiotics, which is somewhat different than the Chinese medical definitions of yin and yang.  For more on this subject, read Yin And Yang Healing on this website.  The ancients figured out that if one stays balanced in terms of yin and yang, then one conserves etheric energy.  In modern terms we would say it reduces stress drastically.

Balancing yin and yang is why we do not recommend fruit, sugars, any alcohol at all, no chocolate and very little nuts, seeds and raw food or juices.  These are all too yin.  This is also why we recommend mainly cooked food, and always eat some meat, eggs, poultry and other more yang foods. 

It is also the reason to skip the yin vegetables such as the nightshades – tomatoes, white potatoes, eggplant and all peppers, ideally.  It is also the reason to avoid overeating, and avoid all sugars, all fruit juices, most smoothies and other sweet foods and beverages of all kinds, at all times.  Maintaining the yin and yang balance of the body does so many thing that are positive it requires a separate textbook.  However, helping to conserve the etheric energy is one of them.

 

5. Tuning up the body, in general.  Conserving etheric energy is also about Òtuning up the bodyÓ so that it will absorb and utilize more of the etheric energy found in the food, water, air and elsewhere.  This is an important aspect of conserving and growing the etheric energy, and in fact is the most important aspect of it later on, because eventually one wants to depend upon this environmental etheric rather than on that with which one was born.

 

ENHANCING ENVIRONMENTAL ETHERIC ENERGY

 

As one ages, the instrinsic etheric energy with which one was born will naturally decline.  This is the most basic cause of aging, although certainly nutrition, toxic metals, lack of rest, too much sex or too much of anything will deplete oneÕs vital forces.  Thus, if one wishes to live much longer, one must enhance the absorption by the human body and mind of the environmental sources of etheric energy.  This is the etheric that is found in the food, air, water and elsewhere around all of us, no matter where one lives.

How to increase the environmental etheric.  Three methods are used, primarily:

 

1. A particular meditation practice.

2. Living well.

3. Other natural therapies as needed. These often include gentle, regular chiropractic adjustments, bodywork and possibly some energy medicine techniques or others.  Even minor surgery might be required on very rare occasions.

 These are explained below. 

 

1. Meditation to absorb more etheric energy.  The correct meditation practice is the most powerful method of all to absorb more environmental etheric energy, by far.  A simple meditation that works is described in a separate article called Meditation. 

This benefit of certain types of meditation was known among the ancients.  The concepts are also discussed a little by some Western medical doctors such as Robert O. Becker, MD, author of Electromagnetism And Life and The Body Electric: Electromagnetism And The Foundation Of Life.

I was motivated by very poor health to do the exercise daily for the past 30 years.  Many people are loathe to spend this much time, though it really does not interfere with my day very much.  I have been blessed in that I had the time and the situation in which it has not been hard to do it, so that has helped, and I started young – age 29 or so, so I have not become discouraged by old age or any other factor.  Now it is easy to do after all this time, but it is hard to start for most people. 

I want to encourage everyone, however, to stay with it, particularly those who are young, as they are much more easily distracted and prone to forgetting about it.  Also, beware of all other meditations.  I hear from many people that they do different meditations, or they mix several together.  My experience, which includes trying a number of meditations, is that this is the only one that can increase the etheric energy in a big way.  Others may have other effects, but they will not increase the etheric energy as much, if they do so at all.  This is an important warning, as one can waste years on the incorrect exercise.

Also, one must modify the Roy Masters exercise, so please read the two articles on meditation on this site, in addition to reading this article carefully to have success.

 

2. Living well.  This includes following the entire nutritional balancing program.  This means the diet, lifestyle, proper type and amount of drinking water, sexual restraint, the proper supplements and avoiding all other supplements, herbs, homeopathics, etc.  it also includes using a near infrared sauna, but not other types, on a daily basis for at least 10 years for most people.  It also includes using the coffee enemas for at least 10 years for most people. 

Unfortunately, this is what it takes today to detoxify the body sufficiently to restore it to the way it is supposed to function.  I know this may be depressing for some people, especially those who are young and donÕt want to spend the time healing themselves.  However, this appears to be what is needed, so it is best to just get started. 

A hidden benefit is that the Ôside effectsÕ are wonderful.  They include great health, lots of energy, a happy disposition, and usually most of oneÕs ÒissuesÓ and problems in emotional terms also are handled as one detoxifies the body in this very profound way.  You will also drastically reduce your chances of getting cancer, having a heart attack, having a deformed baby and more, if you really dedicate yourself to your health at a young age.  So I want to encourage all readers to start at once. 

If cost is a factor and one cannot do the hair mineral testing, then start with the almost-free part – a specific diet, plenty of spring water every day, loads of rest and sleep and, if possible, do saunas and coffee enemas each and every day.  Also, take the basic supplements now, such as omega-3 fatty acids, kelp, vitamin D3 at 5000 iu daily, and perhaps also a calcium/magnesium supplement and a digestive aid.  You can add the hair analysis and more specific supplementation later if they are needed and if you can afford them.  They are not expensive, however, and all the supplements should not cost more than about $160.00 per month at this time (2010). 

 

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT IN THESE TERMS?

 

If one can increase the etheric level of energy in a human body, or animal body, to a certain degree or extent, a series of remarkable changes start to occur in the body.  The process is what is called on this website spiritual development (Others mean many different things by this term, so do not confuse it with otherÕs definitions).

The chakras and development. This kind of development involves the opening of the chakras or energy centers that are located on the physical body.  The word opening, in this case, means the enlargement and faster spinning of the energy centers.

The chakras (a Sanskrit word) are not fundamentally physical in nature, although they, too, have a glow about them that some few people can see or feel easily.  They are not even etheric in nature, although etheric energy is needed to start them spinning and keep them spinning, at first.  They might be described as electromagnetic force fields, out of which the physical body is made.  I know this is complex, but this gives us an idea of the complexity of a human being.

As the chakras spin faster, become larger and spin in the right direction and evenly, the body is strengthened greatly.  Traumas and ailments also disappear.  This is the benefit of spinning the chakras faster.  The downward motion of the etheric energy is what causes them to spin faster.  This is described later in the article. 

After a while, a person himself or herself can keep them spinning by doing the same meditation exercise.  The chakras are discussed in some more detail in a separate article on this website entitled The Chakras.

 

Becoming a master.  When one is able to spin the chakras oneself, which is a goal of life on earth and elsewhere, one can also learn to sustain the physical body without needing intrinsic etheric energy with which one was born.  This is called being a master in some religious traditions, because one has mastered the physical universe to a degree.  One is still subject to hunger, thirst, injury and so on, but one is no longer so dependent upon the basic energy with which one was born, and therefore one is much freer.

Nutritional balancing fosters this process.  This is an accomplishment that I am told few accomplish, but many more could accomplish it quite easily if they would follow a nutritional balancing program.  In other words, nutritional balancing is not about physical health alone.  It is about mastery of the etheric aspect of life.  This is just one reason it is very effective for many health problems.  However, it offers far more than mere symptom-removal, unlike most other healing systems.

All healing helps propel a person into mastery to a small degree, but most stop far short of this goal.  Nutritional balancing has this as it specific goal, so it does not stop short, although it takes some time and effort to achieve.  Several of our clients are well on their way to this goal at this time (2010).

Beyond spiritual development is a process called evolution of the soul.  Eventually, as this occurs more and more, in turn, it causes the development of other human energy fields or ÒbodiesÓ.  This is what is meant on this website by the full spiritual development of a human being.

From here, these energy fields or subtle bodies grow ever larger and more powerful.  This means they develop their own etheric charge or energy, almost like the gravity of a planet, although it does not attract other bodies as gravity does.  The person is becoming more ÒsolidÓ in terms of energy density, however. 

As this occurs, the person develops many talents and abilities that are only available to one who has the subtle bodies in a developed state.  Among these are clairvoyance, clairaudience, and various other abilities in some cases.

Jesus of Nazareth and other masters. I mention these abilities because they were all used by the one known as Jesus.  Rather than think of him as just Òthe son of GodÓ or some other vague term, we can think of him, and others who have been written about, as simply far more developed human beings who walked among the people and used their powers to help humanity.  Most such masters keep a lower profile, but now and then one is sent forth to teach and heal humankind in a way that the masses can relate to. 

In each case, a religion is founded upon his teachings because he is so impressive to the people and so confounding to his enemies.  They cannot silence him, they cannot kill him with swords and guns, they cannot stop his teaching from spreading in odd ways such as by finding hidden manuscripts in caves, and so on.  This is how what are called ascended masters assist life on earth.

Other developed human beings work in other ways, of course.  Some sit in caves for thousands of years and heal and teach telepathically.  As a result, others who are ordinary folks suddenly have flashes of insight or invent wonderful things that help humanity.  Other masters work in other ways, such as saving lives during disasters, altering the weather, reducing the damage of earthquakes and many other ways of which we are just slightly aware.  The stories of angels helping people are one such type of manifestations, as are many other ÒmiraclesÓ that occur in peopleÕs ordinary lives.

All are masters in training. I mention all of this because we are all masters in the making.  We are all on the path of mastery to a degree, and we can all speed up our progress by following certain paths.  In this regard, nutritional balancing science must be considered a modern-day Òpath of masteryÓ.

 

The future of religion.  In the distant future, this information might even form the basis for a type of religion or path to development for many people.  There have always been small groups who were privy to this information, and they used it for their own and their friendsÕ benefit.  These groups used to be called mystery schools, and were usually quiet secretive with their knowledge.  Today this is not needed, I hope. 

The same knowledge has been known for thousands of years, and one can find it in a few books about yoga, tai chi, tantra and others.

 

THE CONCEPT OF DIRECTIONALITY IN ETHERIC DEVELOPMENT

 

This topic has to do with how one goes about increasing the amount of etheric energy that enters and flows around the human body.  It is very critical information if one is to live a long and healthy life today, since the planet is so polluted that even the best food, and the best water may not be enough to sustain one.

Directionality is the key.  This means that moving energy with the mind, or using other means of moving etheric energy – mechanical or electrical means, for example – can enhance its flow through the body and into the body.

What is the direction of flow that is needed?  The direction is from the head down to the feet.  It is actually a circular motion down the front of the body and up the back of the body, but the hard part is generally downward, down the front of the body at all times.  When one can do this, it generally flows up the back easily and silently without a need for any effort expended at all.

Linguistic aspects of directionality. The idea that downward motion is healthful or even life-giving is not unknown on earth.  In fact, it has found its way into the common language of most nations.  For example, when a person is out of sorts, we may say one is upset, uptight, or mixed up.  Other slang words in common English usage are uppity, screwed up or messed up.  We may say one is up to no good.  These words have deeper meaning, in that they refer to a movement of energy that some people are well aware of.

The language also contains phrases such as calmed down, slowed down, settled down, down to earth, and others.  Again, this refers to a movement of energy.  Clearly not all of the language reflects this idea.  One may speak of an ÒupstandingÓ citizen, and when sad or ill, we say a person is feeling ÒdownÓ.  So it is not a universal reference in the language of English, but it is to be noted.

These slang or common phrases in English and in other languages refer to energy moving up or down the front of the human body.  Once again, the ideal motion is down the front and up the back of the body.  In tantra yoga, it is called the macrocosmic orbit or the microcosmic orbit, depending on exactly where it flows.  It is the basic circulation of the chi or vital force.  In tai chi class, the Chinese word that was used for the movement of energy to increase oneÕs power and force is sung, meaning downward.

 

Symptoms of energy flowing upwards instead of downwards.  These are many.  However, among the most important are heartburn or GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease), spaciness or floaty appearance or behavior, lack of grounding, lack of self-confidence, low self-esteem, a tendency for all yin conditions (which includes many health conditions) and even osteoporosis because there is not sufficient psychological and even physical ÒweightÓ moving downward in the body.  This one is hard to explain, but it appears true from our research.

In fact, some cases that we review this upward and thus unhealthful movement of etheric energy is the dominant theme that must be handled.  We call this a core issue for this reason.

 

WHY IS THE DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT IMPORTANT WITH ETHERIC ENERGY?

 

The battery analogy. This has to do with how the human body is constructed and lives in space.  While it is not generally known, the human body is somewhat like a battery in which the head is positively charged and the feet are more negatively charged.  In addition, each cell is charged in this way, in this direction.  The etheric charge (it is not so much an electrical charge) is inside, and throughout each cell of the body.

The magnet analogy. The charge also has qualities like a magnet, in that the charges of each cells are additive.  This means that when placed together in space, or in certain arrangements, they enhance one another, provided the charge is in the same general direction.  This is exactly how magnetism works.  If the iron or other metal fibers are all lined up the same way, a strong magnetic field is created.  If, however, the iron filings are arranged randomly, no magnetism is measurable because the individual particles cancel each other out.

In a similar fashion, if all the cells are ÒmagnetizedÓ, ÒchargedÓ or Òlined upÓ in a similar direction, then oneÕs health tends to improve.  If the charges or magnetism is random, this effect is not present and oneÕs health will eventually suffer.

The difference between the etheric and electricity or magnetism is that the latter are much more easily measured.  The etheric energy is not quite electrical, so it is harder to measure accurately, although a simple electrical meter may, at times, register a small charge or the type I am discussing. 

A personal experience with this idea. I once had someone measure the electrical potential on my body between the head and the feet and the right hand.  As I started to do the Roy Masters meditation with the modification discussed later on in this article, it generated a small electrical potential in the sensitive meter.

 

THE ROY MASTERS MEDITATION AND ETHERIC ENERGY

 

The Roy Masters exercise is described in the article entitled Meditation.  However, a modification is to forcefully send or draw energy downward from the head to the right hand, and then into the feet and even below the feet while doing the exercise.  This acts in a very special way, not unlike a gyroscope spinning in space.  It appears to spin and balances all the chakras, which run down the spinal cord.  It does so in such a way that they all begin to spin correctly, in synchronicity and balance. 

This is quite a feat, in fact.  It is an ancient form of meditation that Roy Masters, and later I, stumbled upon.  It works better than hundreds of other meditations and methods that are available today such as transcendental meditation, yoga, tai chi, chi kung and others.  All of these have merit, but they do not do the same thing.  This is most important to know.

Even among those who understand tantra and other arts that use similar meditative practices, many of them, in my experience, do not realize what they are really doing at the deepest level or they would do more of it.  I learned that I could heal myself of serious illness this way, so I kept doing it, and continue to this day. 

Recall once again that etheric energy is the basic energy of physical life – the basic ÒbatteryÓ or charging system that keeps us going.  It is not the food we eat or the water we drink, although these contain some of this energy and we strive to ingest and drink in as much of it as possible.  However, going for the etheric energy directly is far more powerful.

 

BENEFITS OF THE ROY MASTERS ETHERIC MEDITATION

 

These are also discussed in the article entitled Meditation on this website.  I will just summarize in terms of etheric actions or effects.  The exercise does the following:

 

á      Causes all the chakras to begin to open and spin in the correct way and in a balanced way.

á      This, in turn, activates the organs and tissues in a unique way that furthers their health, growth and regeneration.

á      Spinning and balancing the chakras opens the door, so to speak, for more advanced development of the subtle bodies and the unfoldment of higher skills or abilities. 

á      This will extend life and improve health in unusual ways, since the etheric energy can replace some of the body cells with a more hardy type of cellular material.  It replaces the cytoplasm of the cell to some degree, apparently.

á      The downward flow has many other benefits such as physical and psychological grounding and centering.  These are really secondary to the ones above and discussed in detail in the Meditation article, so I will not repeat them here.

 

MODIFYING THE ROY MASTERS MEDITATION

 

By modifying the exercise slightly, even more downward force can be accumulated or built up in and around the body.  The modification is first, to be sure to move the energy with the mind downward from the head area to the right hand.  This will work fine.  Later, one can become proficient at moving the energy downward from the head not only to the right hand, but to both hands and down into both feet and legs.  These modifications, when done forcefully and repeatedly every day, will dramatically enhance the downward-moving effect.

You can do this etheric version of the exercise while sitting, ideally, lying down, or even while doing a coffee enema.  I have done it in the sauna, or even while walking very slowly on a quiet, straight street with few distractions.

For best effect, I find one must do the exercise for at least 30 minutes at a time, and it is best to do it for more time than this.  I have found that it can be slow, at first, to move the energy and as one relaxes into the procedure, it becomes easier.  Also, at first the mind will be very distracted.  This becomes less of a problem as time goes on with practice.

 

OTHER METHODS TO INCREASE THE DOWNWARD-MOVING ENERGY EFFECT

 

These include:

1. Sleep and rest. More sleep and rest is critical to enjoy the benefits of the etheric energy.  Try to go to bed by 9 PM at the latest and sleep 10 hours or more each night.  Also, sleep with you head to the north in the northern hemisphere, and with your head to the south in the southern hemisphere.  It does not have to be exactly north-south, but the closer the better.  The reason for this is explained below.

 

2. Keeping the body in extended position.  If possible, keep the body in an open and extended position such as standing, sitting in a recliner type of chair with the feet extended out, or laying down.  Positions that are not as good for the flow of the etheric energy are sleeping on oneÕs side with the legs pulled up tight in a fetal position, and sitting with the legs tightly crossed and pulled up tightly.  These positions restrict the flow of the etheric energy through the body to some degree, though not too much.

 

3. Make Use of Open water.  Drinking and/or placing a bottle of open water at the foot of your bed while you sleep will also enhance the etheric change in the body, as it may be called.  For more on this, read Open Water on this website.

 

4. Do daily coffee enemas.  This procedures seems to help focus more energy on the lower part of the body and helps move the chi or energy out of the head.  Moving it out of the head is the first step in moving it down the body.  Most people never move much of the energy out of the head, for which reason their body suffers and becomes ill, and their mind never becomes very focused and clear.  Animals, by contrast, have far more balanced chi or energy in the body and do not accumulate it in the head, which is harmful.

 

5. Use a near infrared sauna, and no other type.  This works because it, too, tends to relax the mind, and draw the chi or etheric energy down from the head to the feet.  How it works is not clear to me, but the warmth and the particular frequencies of the rays seem to have this effect. 

Part of the effect is due to inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system.  Too much activity of this system tends to pool the blood in the center of the body and sends too much to the head, as well.  Another reason is the reddish color of the lamps tends to activate the lower energy center of the body, moving more energy out of the head.  A third reason is that sitting quietly in a closed space with no stimulation also relaxes the mind and body, and helps one to move the etheric energy downward.

 

6. Breathe more oxygen. One of the elements that is most receptive to the etheric energy is oxygen.  Singlet oxygen is harmful, but O2, the gas we breathe, is helpful.  Therefore, any system of exercises, relaxation, deep breathing and living in a rural area or forest or garden with a higher oxygen content is helpful.

Another simple way to accomplish this is with a common ozonator/ionizer air purifier.  These are sold on the internet for about $250-350.00 and, when placed in the bedroom, will add some oxygen to the air in a very healthful manner.  Do not listen to the idea that doing this is harmful.  One need not turn the machine all the way up for the effect.  In fact, turning it up all the way may produce too much ozone that is, indeed, a little irritating, though not that harmful.

Ozone in the air of polluted cities is similar, but is a response of nature and not as healthful as it is there to counteract pollution, mainly, and not to enhance the oxygen content of the air.  Cities generally have a lower oxygen content due to industrial pollution and auto emissions.

Living at higher altitudes in drier climates is also somewhat helpful for complex reasons.

 

7. Some tai chi walking practices.  These are also helpful, perhaps with other energetic practices, providing the thrust or major part of the procedure or practice is to simply move energy downward from the head to the feet.  This is stressed in some martial arts, for example.

Examples of such exercises is to imagine you weigh 1000 pounds so each step you take send a tremendous force or energy downward into the earth.  Another exercise is to imagine that with each step you send your feet deep into the earth.  Another is simply to speak the word ÔdownÕ as you place each foot on the ground in front of you.

 

DIRECTIONALITY IN OTHER CONTEXTS

 

Directional movement also has to do with the direction of etheric energy flow within and around planet earth.  This, in fact, is what gives rise to the Van Allen radiation belts, gravity, solar winds, at times, and many other curious phenomena.

Gravity. For example, the ÒflowÓ of etheric around the earth moves toward the center of the planet, and it pulls everything with it, creating what is called gravity.  In fact, it is nothing more than just being in the etheric flow of the planet.  Escape from the planet and you donÕt have this flow or current of life moving you toward the center of the earth.  The higher you travel away from the planet, the less it affects you. 

Polar flow. A much milder or lesser force that some people feel, nevertheless, is an etheric ÒflowÓ or directional movement from the magnetic poles of the earth toward the equator.  It gives rise to other electromagnetic fields and interesting phenomena known in physics and earth sciences.

An interesting way to take advantage of this flow is to sleep or even work all day with your head facing toward the pole nearest you (either north or south pole).  So if you are in the northern hemisphere, you would move your bed so your head is to the north and feet toward the south. This will enhance your etheric flow through the body a little bit.  In contrast, sleeping with your head to the south in the northern hemisphere or to the north in the southern hemisphere opposes the natural flow of etheric energy through the human body and is somewhat less healthful.

Altitude and dryness.  For similar reasons, it is somewhat better to be at an altitude of about 6000-9000 feet or even more.  At sea level, or near it, the etheric flow is disorganized as it encounters other forces rising from the core of the earth.  This is less the case if one is at a higher altitude.  Once a person is fairly developed, this no longer matters, however.

A dry climate also seems to assist the etheric flow in some way.  Perhaps water molecules in the air affect the quality of the etheric energy in some way.
