ETHERIC ENERGY, DOWNWARD FLOWING ENERGY AND
HEALING

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.
