Feeling the Energy
I am going to give you an exercise to become aware of more than the reality you are accustomed to and how that reality you live in is so much more than you thought!
It is the mind that constructs reality based on what you believe. Your reality is based on what you believe. Your beliefs are based on the sensory perceptions you have gained or been taught. And I want to prove this to you now.
The first thing we are going on to do here is feel the energy in your own body, what some call “running the energy” or experiencing prana or chi or life force.
Get in a comfortable meditative stance , close your eyes and begin taking slow even breaths. As you do this feel yourself taking in energy from the universe around you and circulating it though your body and filling you with this energy, this chi, this prana. Let your lungs bring this chi that is available all around us into your lungs and then into your whole body.
Now that you feel the energy coming and filling you , imagine waves of this energy swelling up and coming up through your body out your hands to form a ball of energy between your hands. Feel as though it is floating there as you extend your hands towards each other with palms facing and fingers relaxed and see the ball of energy floating there spinning between your hands. Can you feel a tingling in your fingers and hands and arms?
Now move your hands gently and gracefully to turn the ball of energy , to move it up in space or down in the space between your hands. Move it left or right and back to center once again. When you activate your hands like this you are opening up a huge portion of your motor sensory brain.
Now try moving each finger as this ball of energy spins between your hands and notice how each finger is attached to this energy ball, flows and affects this energy ball or perhaps how this energy ball flows and affects your fingers. Move each finger independently and let the feelings of energy in your fingers flow up your hands and wrists and arms and shoulders. This is the chi the prana flowing into and out of your body as you give and take the chi from this energy ball. Try to give chi to it and receive chi from it and feel the differences. If you are really into this experience it will feel as if you can send vibrating threads of energy right out your fingertips and into this ball of energy.
Now that your hands are feeling the energy and are able to send and receive the chi back and forth, I want you to just stare at this spinning ball of chi between your hands. Rest your hands so that you can hold the ball of chi between your hands comfortably and just stare at the ball of chi and watch it spin. Let your focus become gentle and see how the ball of chi energy begins to throw out new sights of energy lines or threads and it is glowing and spinning. Notice how this ball of energy is sending out ripples of energy into the space around it. The ripples are not only affecting the molecules of air around it but are actually affecting the subtle patterns of energy beneath the surface of physical reality. As the fluid energy ripples rise and fall from the chi ball of energy you may also notice a beautiful colorful random shimmering all around the energy ball and all around your hands. A beautiful shimmering energy that appears in thin air.
