Deeper into body awarness Mobile Body Awareness (M.B.A.)Your body's point of awareness is normally centred in the eyes. This is its natural location, but it does not have to stay there. Mobile Body Awareness (M.B.A.) is the ability to move and focus body awareness upon any specific part of the physical body. Being able to do this is very simple and easily learned, but is an extremely important skill. Combined with other techniques, this enables the dynamic manipulation of the energy body and its energy centres. This allows specific parts of the energy body to be directly stimulated, and the flow of energy increased in a controlled and deliberate way. ·Note:With all the coming exercises, a deep level of relaxation or the trance state are NOT required. Light relaxation is quite adequate. Just close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and allow your mind to wind down and settle for a few moments, and begin. This is all that is required. I also suggest that you do not use a bed for these early exercises unless you have to. Sit in a comfortable armchair with your shoes off, place a cushion under your feet, wear loose clothing and do not cross your legs. But this is not mandatory and if an armchair cannot be used, please adapt and use whatever is necessary or available. For example, if you have spinal injuries as I do, sometimes it may be physically impossible to sit upright. Targeting & Highlighting: With all the coming exercises, lightly scratch or rub specified body parts as needed. This is a learning aid which helps highlight and target specific areas on the physical body. Body awareness can then be focused more easily and accurately. Use a small stick or ruler if you have difficulty reaching some parts of your body. This scratching and rubbing is not necessary when you become used to the technique and can target specific areas with body awareness alone; which for most people does not take very long. Repeat the MBA exercises below without scratching and see how you get on without this aid. Try and do this with your eyes closed so you are focusing with body awareness only, but please use your eyes if you need to. As with scratching, the use of the eyes for targeting should be done away with once this can be comfortably done with body awareness alone. The reason for this is that some of the exercises given later in these tutorials do not allow the use of the eyes for targeting body awareness. Localizing Body Awareness:To demonstrate shifting your center of body awareness and targeting specific areas on the body, please do the following exercises: ·        Lightly scratch the skin of your left knee with your fingernails to highlight it. Do this just hard enough to leave a slight tingling sensation there after you stop scratching. Close your eyes and feel for this tingling area with your body awareness. Become intensely aware of that area as you focus on it. Highlight it with your body awareness until it stands out. You will feel your knee tingling and will easily be able to locate and target it. Feel for this tingling area with your body awareness alone, with your sense of touch; your sense of feel. Focus on the target area and forget about the rest of your body for a moment. Move your knee slightly and feel for more of the same knee and become aware of it as a whole joint. Feel its outline and shape and really get the feel of it with your body awareness. Your center of body awareness is now focused entirely in your left knee. ·        Shift your point of awareness to your right knee, scratching it first to highlight it. Feel its shape with your awareness. Your center of body awareness is now focused entirely in your right knee. ·        Shift your point of awareness to your right big toe. Scratch it on top of the large joint where it joins your foot. Wiggle your big toe to help get the feel of it, so you can zero in on it with your awareness. Feel the tingle on top of it, then feel its shape with your awareness. Your center of awareness is now focused entirely in your right big toe. ·        Shift your body awareness to several other parts of your body (anywhere you like) highlighting them first by light scratching. Feel these areas as you target them with your new sense of, now mobile, body awareness. Increasing Body Awareness Sensitivity:To improve body awareness sensitivity, do the following exercises as often as you can until you get the hang of it. They will progressively improve your body awareness sensitivity, which is extremely important for later exercises and techniques within these tutorials. When first learning to move a point of body awareness through the surface of your body, it helps if you trace the pathway along your skin with fingertips or a paintbrush, to highlight the path your point of awareness will be taking. This teaches your body awareness the pathway, making it easier to follow this with a point of awareness alone. If this is not enough, lightly scratch a small pathway along your skin with your fingernails or a ruler, to highlight it more strongly. Follow the slight tingling sensation this leaves behind on your skin with a point of awareness alone. For tracing and learning wider energy pathways, they can be stroked repeatedly with a hand, or a paint brush be used of an appropriate size. You can do this by yourself or have a partner do it for you, while you follow the sensations caused by this touch with your point of body awareness. To start with I suggest tracing a pathway from the base of your left thumb, along the sensitive inside of your arm and on up to your left shoulder. Close your eyes and concentrate on the feel of the brush or fingers touching and moving along the surface of your skin. Ignore the hand doing the brushing and concentrate solely on its touch. Repeatedly stroke this pathway, from thumb to shoulder and back to your thumb again, following this with your body awareness until you have a good feel for the action. ·        Repeat the above exercise with your right arm. ·        Next, trace and follow a path from your left big toe, up over your foot to your ankle, up the outside of your shin to your kneecap, and on up the outside of your thigh to your left hip joint; then back down to the same big toe again. ·        Repeat the above exercise with your right leg. Practice this technique until you can trace a pathway to anywhere on your body with a point of body awareness alone, feeling your way along the surface of your skin without having to follow a manually highlighted pathway. Please rub and scratch and highlight, however, as often and for as long as you need to while learning this technique. If you are training with a partner, you can help each other by stroking and brushing each other's body to stimulate pathways, or with a slow, stroking massage. Massage is a good way of learning how to focus and move body awareness. Have your partner give you a massage and follow the touch of their hands with a point of awareness. Have them trace pathways up your legs and arms, and up your back, following their touch. It may help if they use only one hand at a time, at least to start with, making it easier to follow their touch with a point of awareness. Soon you will progress to being able to split your awareness and work with two points or more of body awareness at the same time. M.B.A. Exercise:Focus a point of awareness in your right knee until you can feel it well. Slide your center of awareness slowly down the outside of your right shin. Keep your awareness moving until your center of awareness comes to your right foot. Move your awareness slowly out to your right big toe. Feel this toe with your awareness. Wiggle it a little and make sure you can really feel it and are targeting it well. Move your point of awareness to the toe next to it and feel its shape and outline. Tense, move, wiggle, touch or scratch each toe, as needed, to highlight and target each of them one at a time. Next, move your awareness across to your left foot and feel your whole foot with your awareness. Flex and tense your foot slightly to get the feel of it as a whole. Now center your awareness in your left big toe. Slide your awareness back to your ankle and then slowly on up over your left shin until it comes to rest in your left kneecap. Keep it moving, sliding up your thigh to your left hip, and then slowly on up the left side of your body until you come to your left shoulder. Move your awareness down the outside of your left arm, moving slowly past your elbow to your left hand. Feel your whole left hand with your awareness. Move and center your awareness in your left thumb. Feel its shape and outline with your awareness. Wiggle it a little if you need to highlight it. Feel all your other fingers, one at a time, with your awareness. You have just moved your center of body awareness all around your body, targeting and focusing a point of body awareness in many parts of it. Without knowing it at this stage, you have also been stimulating your energy body in the process. As your center of awareness moved through the surface of your energy body (energy body = etheric body) you may have felt some peculiar tingling, fuzzy or heavy sensations. These are caused by energy movement within your energy body. They are quite normal for this type of awareness exercise. In order to effectively stimulate your energy body, it is necessary to be able to focus your point of awareness at a single point on your body, and then to move and manipulate that point of awareness. This is done with active body awareness, with something I have called Tactile Imaging. Tactile Imaging is very easy to learn and use. You have already learned the skills required for it and will soon get the hang of it - it just takes a little practice. Tactile Imaging (T.I.) Robert Bruce Tactile imaging (T.I. for short) is the active use of body awareness. This is used to directly stimulate and manipulate the energy body in a controlled way. T.I. is a simple extension of M.B.A., and is very easy to learn and do. When body awareness is focused in a specific area, and that point of awareness is given motion, this motion stimulates the energy body in that area. When this motion is done at the site of a primary or secondary energy center (major or minor Chakras), that energy center will be directly stimulated. Individual energy centres can thus be targeted and stimulated in a strong and dynamic way. Using Tactile Imaging: Tactile Imaging exercises are only a little different from the simpler M.B.A. exercises given earlier, where body awareness is moved along the skin from one place to another. The only difference here is that your point of body awareness is often focused on a specific area, and a variety of repetitive body awareness actions are used to further stimulate that area. Note: Focus body awareness alone on the specified target area and try not to use your eyes unless you really have to. Many people, however, find they cannot learn T.I. techniques without using their eyes for targeting. Do what is necessary for as long as you need to, but try and wean yourself off using your eyes as soon as you can. Many of the more advanced exercises and techniques given later in this tutorial do not allow the use of the eyes, or any other form of targeting or highlighting aid. The best way to learn Tactile Imaging is by doing it. Rest your hands comfortably in your lap, or on the arms of your chair, palms down and fingers slightly spread. Close your eyes and relax, then shift your point of body awareness to the base of your right thumb, topside. There is an important secondary energy center (small Chakra) in each of the thumb joints, and you are now going to stimulate one of them. Most people will feel one of their thumb centres activate noticeably the first time they work on it. The area to be worked on first is on top of the large joint where the thumb joins the right hand. If you have trouble locating this joint (the second joint in from the thumbnail) flex your thumb while pressing this joint between your other fingers until you can feel it. Lightly scratch a circular area clockwise on top of the thumb joint, approximately half an inch (1.5cm) across, to highlight it with your awareness. Slowly trace a fingertip around this same circular path while following this touch with your point of awareness. That point of touch must become your point of awareness. Continue following this action until you can remember the exact feel of this circular movement, and can recreate this action with your point of awareness alone. Feel the tingling target area on top of your thumb joint with your point of awareness. Recreate and feel this circular action inside your skin. Move your point of awareness in a small clockwise circle in that area, as if you were stirring it with an imaginary pencil or awareness fingertip. Concentrate and feel this action, continuing the motion with your point of awareness alone. Keep stirring this center around and around with one or two circling actions per second. After a short time this action will gain its own momentum. It will then become almost automatic and take very little effort to continue. After a while (anything from a few seconds to a few minutes during a first attempt) you should begin feeling a slight localized heaviness or pressure, or a tingling, buzzing or bonedeep tickling or fuzzy sensation in your thumb joint and thumb. This sensation indicates the energy center there has been successfully stimulated into increased activity. Once you feel this, immediately move onto the next exercise. If you feel nothing after trying for a few minutes, move onto the next exercise anyway. Change the awareness action and move your point of awareness in a straight brushing action, up and down along the top of your right thumb, from just below the joint to just above the nail tip. Move your point of awareness continually back and forth through this area. You are now stimulating your entire thumb, including all the small energy centres within it. Feel this brushing action through the whole of your thumb as you do it. The sensations you may have felt earlier will intensify and spread throughout the whole of your thumb as you do this, as more and more small energy centres there are stimulated into increased activity. ·        Repeat both the above exercises on the thumb of your left hand. ·        Repeat both the above exercises on the big toes of both feet, one at a time. T.I. Stimulation Notes: Often, there are inactive secondary energy centres on one side of the body, but rarely on both sides. If you feel nothing after doing any awareness action for several minutes, move onto the next exercise. While energy movement sensations will usually be quite obvious to most people, a few may feel nothing at all; although I have found this to be rare. No sensation at all simply indicates the energy body is for some reason blocked or inactive in that area. If this is the case, please continue with all these early exercises as best you can; you are still stimulating your energy body even though you cannot feel it happening at this point. It is more important to learn and practice these techniques at this stage than it is to cause sensations. Some of the exercises given later on in this book are designed to restore inactive areas and remove energy blockages. Once restored to activity, energy movement sensations will then be more easily and strongly felt. A hot shower or bath can also help, if done prior to doing these exercises. This not only relaxes the physical body and cleanses the skin, but also promotes a stronger energy flow through the energy body. The tingling in the skin caused by scratching to highlight a target area, is not the cause of energy movement sensations. Test this if you wish by repeating the above exercises in the middle of your forearm or bicep where there are no significant secondary energy centres. This test will cause no energy movement sensations to be felt. Alternatively, try this same exercise on another small energy center, but without the scratching. It is the movement of a focused point of body awareness through the energy body, at the site of an energy center or concentration of energy exchange ports, that forces energy movement and causes these sensations to occur. Some of the exercises given later do not allow any kind of manual highlighting, like scratching or rubbing, but energy movement sensations will still be felt. Awareness Hands: The most natural way to use your point of awareness is to feel you have an imaginary pair of Hands. Awareness Hands are the business ends of Tactile Imaging, especially when it comes to raising energy. These are powerful awareness tools and you will become very familiar with them as we proceed. You will be using your awareness hands in many ways: for raising energy, clearing blockages and for manipulating many different energy centers. You have already started using these Hands in the above exercises. You will soon learn how to use them over larger areas and in many other practical energy related ways. Awareness Hands are extensions of active body awareness. You have a left and a right awareness Hand. While the awareness arms themselves are not important, each Hand should be felt as being attached to an imaginary awareness arm coming from each of your shoulders. Each Hand is related to a different side of your brain. One awareness Hand is usually slightly weaker than the other because of this, depending upon which side of your brain is the most dominant. Using awareness Hands is very progressive. The more they are used the easier they are to use and the stronger and more dexterous they become. Awareness Hands Exercise: The following exercise demonstrates how energy is raised with awareness hands: Close your eyes and relax, while sitting or lying comfortably. Take both your awareness hands down to your left foot, as if you were grabbing hold of it. Scratch or rub the top of your left foot and wiggle it a bit to highlight it first, to make this exercise easier. Draw your awareness hands through your left foot, to your ankle, and then slowly take them on up through your leg. Feel your whole leg, inside and out, as you move your awareness hands upwards through it. Draw your awareness hands all the way up your shin, through your knee, up through your thigh and on up to your hip. When you get to your hip, flick your awareness hands instantly back to your toes again and repeat the upwards stroking, energy raising action. Do NOT stroke your awareness back down your leg. Repeat this action over and over, taking several seconds per stroke, feeling the whole of your leg each time. This action forces energy to flow into your foot and up through your leg. You may feel some peculiar sensations as you do this, like tingling, buzzing, warmth, cold, pressure, heaviness, or even a bone deep tickling. These sensations can be unbelievably strong in some people. ·        Repeat the above exercise with your right leg. Splitting Awareness: Splitting awareness actions is quite simple to do. As an example exercise: split your awareness hands and feel both of your feet at the same time (after targeting them) feeling one in each of your awareness hands. Draw energy through both feet and up through both legs at the same time, exactly as you did with the previous exercise, repeatedly. Your awareness will split quite easily and with a little practice you'll be able to do this effortlessly. If you have trouble splitting awareness, however, please stick to working on one area or limb at a time until you feel more comfortable splitting awareness actions. ·        When you have some practice at splitting awareness actions, increase the speed of the upwards energy raising action until you can draw your awareness up through both legs at the same time, taking two to three seconds for each upward sweep, from feet to hips; repeatedly. ·        When you raise energy up both legs, imagine and feel as if you are sweeping or sponging water up through the whole of both legs with your awareness hands. Imagine your awareness hands are each holding a large sponge, and that you are sponging water upwards through your legs. The water keeps trying to run back down your legs, but focused awareness effort and concentration can be used to force the water (the energy) to rise. This addition will give your awareness hands a better feel and grip on the energy, which increases the effectiveness of the energy raising action. ·        It is more beneficial to be able to use one point of body awareness (one awareness action) effectively in these early exercises than it is to be able to split awareness. So if you have trouble with split awareness actions, please stick to using both Hands together, working on only one body-part or limb at a time until you feel more comfortable with split awareness actions. Energy Body StimulationRobert BruceFive Tactile Imaging actions are needed to stimulate the energy body. Whether you are working on secondary or primary energy centers, or simply raising energy, variations of these same basic techniques are used throughout. With all of these techniques, hold your awareness very close, just inside your skin at the site of the area being worked on. Scratch or rub each energy center or energy pathway as needed, to help target it and make it easier to follow with your awareness alone. Five Awareness Actions:1. Stirring Action:Move your point of awareness in a clockwise circle through the surface of your skin. This is as if you were stirring the target area with a single finger, of one of your awareness hands. The size of this stirring action should be varied to suit the size of the energy center or area being stimulated. This action can be counterclockwise if preferred, or if it seems to work better for you in that way. Do not be afraid to experiment with this. 2. Brushing Action:Move your point of awareness back and forth through the skin as if brushing that area with a paintbrush. The size of this awareness brush is to be varied to suit the task at hand. 3. Wrapping Action:Move your point of awareness around the targeted area or joint, as if wrapping an imaginary bandage around it over and over. The size of this action is to be varied to suit the task at hand. 4. Tearing Action:Use your awareness hands in a two-handed tearing action. Imagine you are holding a small bread-roll or cake or donut on the skin, or just under it. Feel your awareness Hands repeatedly tearing it apart with your hands, over and over. The size of this tearing action is to be varied to suit the task at hand. This action is mainly used on primary energy centers, but can also be used as an alternative method for stimulating other areas. 5. Sponging Action:Imagine and feel your awareness hands are holding a large sponge, and that they are sponging water (energy) upwards through the entire area being worked on. This is the basic 'whole-of-limb' energy raising action. It can be used to sponge energy up just one side of a limb, but is primarily used for raising energy through the whole of a limb or body part. This action is normally only used for energy rising. For example, if raising energy through a leg, feel as if that whole leg were being sponged, as if using a large invisible sponge through the whole of the leg to make water move upwards through it. ·        Note:With all the above awareness actions, it is the action of feeling your point of body awareness moving 'through' your physical body that stimulates the energy body enmeshed within it. This motion causes energetic stimulation and movement within the energy body itself. Imagine the awareness action is causing a kind of Ripple Wave effect in the energy body whenever it moves through it. NEW Instructional Notes:The NEW system does NOT require a deep level of relaxation, or even a great deal of preparation for that matter. Once these techniques have been learned, it is possible to raise energy at any time: even while traveling, walking, talking, working, watching TV etc. For all the following training exercises, use a normal level of light relaxation only. The exceptions to this is where problems are encountered getting the NEW system to work; or where stubborn blockages are being cleared; or where the primary energy centers are being worked on. I recommend sitting in a comfortable chair with your legs resting reasonably straight and slightly out in front of you, and with bare feet. Place a pillow or cushion under your feet. Do not sit cross-legged during training sessions as this makes awareness targeting and learning how to raise energy more difficult than it needs to be. Once these techniques have been learned you can return to a cross-legged position and adapt these techniques to suit yourself. But for now, just relax and take a few deep breaths, generally settle yourself and begin the exercises. ·        Do not wear any tight clothes, especially on legs, as this will cause body awareness sensations that will interfere with awareness targeting and energy movement in that area. I advise bare feet or loose socks. Shoes and tight socks can also cause slight pressure sensations that will interfere with awareness targeting and stimulation actions. ·        When secondary energy centers or groups of exchange ports are found not to respond, continue on with the next exercise anyway; after working on them for the suggested length of time. Do not stop your progress and concentrate solely on a seemingly blocked area. Work on these and then move onto the next exercise. Working around blockages in this way helps increase the flow of energy through and around them; which helps to energize and clear them in a roundabout way. ·        I suggest eyes are kept closed and that they are not be allowed to look towards the target area being worked on. I have found that looking towards the target area, even from behind closed eyes, tends to dilute the feeling and effectiveness of awareness actions. ·        For all the above, some people have reported difficulty learning to focus their awareness without using their eyes to aid targeting and awareness actions. It is therefore permissible to have eyes open and to use them to aid awareness targeting and awareness actions by looking at the area being worked on. I suggest both methods be tried to find which is most effective for you during the crucial learning stages. If the eyes are used though, again, I suggest once these techniques have been learned you wean yourself off using them as soon as possible. Many of the coming exercises in these tutorials do not allow the eyes to be used in this way. ·        While deep physical relaxation and/or the trance state are not necessary for the NEW system, if you have difficulty feeling and stimulating your energy body while learning the system, some preliminary deep physical relaxation and trance work will usually help overcome problems. Caution:The NEW system has minimal side effects if used correctly. If, however, at any time while using the NEW system, energy related symptoms arise that are disturbing or worrying, please stop using it immediately. The general rule for dealing with any problems that may arise while doing any type of energy work is to stop and take a break from all energy-related development exercises, including trance work. These should be returned to only when symptoms of the original problem are no longer apparent. A break, from a few days to a few weeks, will solve most energy-related problems completely. If problems reoccur when the NEW system is returned to though, take another longer break. Continue this process until the problem reduces to a tolerable level, or disappears altogether. If worse comes to worse and a particular problem continually recurs (say your feet are too sensitive to awareness actions) skipping the exercise that seems to be causing it will help by working around the problem area until it repairs itself, develops and settles down. Preliminary Stimulation:Some of the early development exercises in the NEW system appear to be fairly laborious, but this work is only done in the very early stages. They yield great rewards by way of clearing blockages and increasing energy flow, so are well worth doing. This is real energetic development work in the truest sense of the word, and everyone has to start at the very beginning here. With a little individual attention, the smaller energy centers quickly become awareness and energy sensitive, and will soon begin responding in progressively larger groups. Much less effort will then be required to stimulate large groups of them into activity. Once they are properly sensitized, a few simple waves of awareness will be found to stimulate large groups of energy centers and exchange ports. For example, both feet can be made to respond energetically with just a few passes of awareness through the whole of both feet; as opposed to the early work of stimulating dozens of smaller centers in each foot, one at a time. The early stimulation exercises given here are specifically designed to isolate and stimulate individual energy centers and small clusters of energy exchange ports. Picking through them like this, one bit at a time, allows blocked areas to be identified so they can be cleared, repaired, redefined and strengthened. Each successfully cleared and stimulated area increases the flow of energies into and through the energy body significantly. This level of energy work, while admittedly seeming a little tedious in the early stages, is very progressive. The energy body has a memory and learns and adapts very quickly. Individual secondary centers and energy exchange ports do not have to be worked upon every time, only in the early stages. This preliminary work must be continued, however, until these smaller centers begin to respond in larger groups. Redefining Energy Pathways:Connecting energy pathways in the energy body can become blocked and narrowed to the point where they become virtually disconnected - just as the physical body can malfunction in specific areas. Energy pathways can be healed and redefined by repeatedly drawing energy into, through and around them. The energy body, like the physical body, learns quickly and develops a kind of energy memory of often-repeated awareness actions. As energy is consciously drawn through the energy body, energy pathways become highlighted in the energy body's substance. The more often energy is drawn through them the stronger and more well defined they become, and the more energy can thus be drawn through them. Feet & Leg DevelopmentRobert BruceThe preliminary stimulation and development work on the feet and toes in this section is vital to the NEW Energy Ways system. Like roots are to a tree, toes are important parts of the powerful energy structures within the feet. Each joint in each toe contains a secondary energy center, with four poles flowering on the skin's surface. These are connected to the heavy concentration of energy exchange ports, which exist on the underside of the feet and toes. As energy raising structures the feet are bases for the largest and strongest energy conduits into the energy body. They are therefore the most important energy structures to stimulate, condition and develop; especially in the early stages. The following exercises must be done thoroughly if energy flow is to be significantly increased. One foot will normally activate easier than the other, usually the left foot. It may take several sessions before the less active side begins to respond in the same way. If you feel no sensation in either big toe with the first exercise below, this simply means both these areas are currently inactive. It does not mean that other toes will not respond, or that the NEW system will not work for you...it will. These sluggish areas will progressively clear as the individual parts of larger energy structures are cleared. If nothing is felt after spending several minutes working on each big toe, continue on with the next step in these exercises regardless. In the very beginning, spend at least two or three minutes on each big toe joint center, or until they begin to respond well. Once a toe center begins to respond, immediately move onto the next joint center exercise. Toe Work:Toe Exercise - 1:Awareness target the top of the joint of your left big toe where it joins your foot. This is the second joint in from the toenail. Press your finger into this area, and the slight bony lump you feel there is the top of the joint. This is the site of the first energy center to be worked on. Give this area a light scratch or rub with your fingernail to highlight it, until it tingles slightly. Use a clockwise stirring action, approximately one inch (2cm) in diameter; depending upon the size of your big toe of course. Slowly scratch or trace this circle on your skin and follow this action with your point of awareness, until you can recreate the exact feel of the stirring action needed there. If you have trouble reaching and touching this area, use a pencil, ruler or artist's paintbrush for this purpose, or have someone else do it for you. Concentrate on feeling this stirring action inside your skin. Keep stirring with your point of awareness until you feel a slight buzzing, fuzzy sensation and/or localized pressure in the joint and around that area. When this center is successfully activated, the sensations caused by it can be quite noticeable. Repeat this process on top of the next big joint out towards the toenail, on the same big toe. ·        Repeat the above exercise on both joints of the right big toe. ·        Use the brushing action on both big toes, one at a time. Feel this action as if you were brushing a one inch paint brush back and forth through the top of each big toe: from the tip of each toenail to a couple of inches (4cm) past the big joint where it joins the foot. ·        Use the wrapping action and wrap both big toes thoroughly, one at a time. ·        Use the sponging action through the whole of each big toe, one at a time. ·        Try splitting your awareness and brushing or sponging both big toes simultaneously. Toe Exercise - 2:Use deep brushing and sponging actions only on every other lesser toe, starting with the toe next to the big toe on your best foot (best foot = most responsive foot). Spend slightly more time on the least unresponsive foot, and on any unresponsive toes to help free them up. ·        Note:The deep brushing and sponging actions are the only actions normally used on all the lesser toes, along their entire length from the tip of the toenail, to a couple of inches past where they join the main foot. The stirring and wrapping actions are not normally used on these. The reason for this being that most people have difficulty awareness targeting small parts of their lesser toes, and the brushing and sponging actions usually provide adequate stimulation. Toe Exercise - 3:Using a slightly wider brushing action (width = from tips of toes to just past where they join the main foot) and starting with your best foot again, brush your awareness across the entire tops of all your toes at the same time, from side to side, from big toe to small toe, back and forth. Feel this wide brushing action penetrating deeply into all your toes. This will stimulate all the toes of each foot with a single awareness action. ·        Repeat this action on your other foot. ·        Try splitting your awareness at this point, and repeating the side-to- side brushing action across all the tops of all toes of both feet at the same time, in whatever way or direction is felt as being the easiest. Opposing directions are fine, with the split awareness actions meeting in the middle if your feet are resting together. Sole Work:The entire underside of the feet and toes are covered with a high concentration of energy exchange ports. These form the outer layer of the complex exchange energy structures within the feet. The soles are thus extremely important to energy flow, and these exercises should be done as thoroughly as possible. Sole Exercise - 1:Awareness target the middle of the sole of your left foot. Scratch or rub this area if you need help targeting it. Use a small clockwise stirring action, about one-and-a-half inches in diameter (3cm) and circle your point of awareness there continually. Next, move this continuing stirring action slowly over the under-surface of your foot and all toes. Keep this stirring action going at all times, covering that entire area thoroughly. Continue this mobile stirring action until you have covered the entire underside of your foot several times, including the underside of all toes and the heel. This awareness action is a little like you are using a small rotating electric massager. Spend at least five minutes on each sole with this rotary action, (early exercises only) or until the surface of each sole begins to respond well. Sole Exercise - 2:Using a wide brushing action, as if painting the soles with a large paintbrush. Brush awareness back and forth, from heels to toes, covering the entire underside of each foot deeply with the brushing action, one foot at a time. ·        Try splitting awareness and repeating wide brushing action on soles of both feet at same time. Feet & Sensations:Working on the undersides of the feet will usually cause some pretty major energy movement sensations therein. These can be uncomfortable, even a little painful, especially in the very early stages of these development exercises. Unfortunately this cannot be helped. They must be tolerated and accepted as the price for development. Intense buzzing, tingling and bone-deep, vibrating energy movement sensations will often be felt. These may continue for some time, even after the awareness actions which caused them have been discontinued. This will sometimes be accompanied by nervous twitching and spasming in the feet and legs; and this can also be quite intense. Occasional hot or cold burning spots and heavy, fuzzy patches inside the feet and legs can also be felt, indicating blocked and damaged areas. All the above sensations are quite common and should be considered as being perfectly normal for this type of energy development work. The degree of sensations felt indicates the degree of resistance to the energy being raised. Energy movement resistance sensations are caused by larger than normal amounts of energy being forced through narrowed energy pathways and conduits. This causes over-stimulation of the physical body's nerves, in the skin and surrounding tissue related to affected energy pathways. Strong energy movement sensations (energy flow resistance sensations), should be ignored as much as possible, and the exercises continued with unless it becomes unbearable. If sensations become too strong for comfort, try and move on to the next exercise and ignore the strong sensations until they settle down. If these sensations go way beyond acceptable comfort levels, however, immediately discontinue all awareness exercises and wait until they completely settle down before continuing. If this is the case, I suggest you wait until at least the next day before continuing, to give them a chance to settle down and adapt. These sensations will usually be significantly reduced the next time you work on the affected area. Strong sensations are, however, a very good energetic symptom. They indicate a strong energetic flow potential through the affected area. Sensations will normally ease off gradually, usually over five or ten minutes, sometimes a little longer, and walking will usually help ease them. On the other hand, if only very mild sensations are felt, this can also indicate a naturally strong pre-existing energetic flow. If this is the case, there may be significantly less energy resistance and thus reduced energy movement sensations will be felt. If no sensations are felt at all, however, then severe bioenergetic inactivity and widespread blockages should be suspected. Extra work will be required to clear these. Actual physical pain is fairly rare, but intense hot or cold or painful aching spots, plus occasional sharp needle-like pains, are not uncommon. These indicate particular types of energy blockages, which will usually reduce in severity only gradually, as they are progressively cleared. It is a good idea to take extra good care of your feet and hands, at least while doing these exercises. I recommend this become a habit for anyone doing serious, long-term energetic development. If you have difficulty getting foot energy moving, try soaking them in warm to hot water, and then scrubbing them with a nail-brush, paying particular attention to soles and heels. Scrub feet until they tingle slightly, then dry and rub some light body oil or cream into them. This extra attention will make you more aware of your feet, as the tingling sensation caused by this kind of attention will last for some time. This also helps with awareness targeting during further feet and toe stimulation exercises. ·        The application of essential oils, plus massage and reflexology techniques, can also be a great help with activating or clearing energy blockages in the feet. If there is a buildup of hard skin on the feet, it should be removed, or a podiatrist consulted for same. Heel Work:Heels contain large energy structures and it helps if you do some extra work on these, separately and more deeply with a large stirring action, on top of the stimulation work done on them during the rotary sole work. Use a large stirring action that covers the whole of each heel, for at least two minutes (early exercises only). ·        Try splitting your awareness and stimulating both heels together with stirring action. Whole Foot Work:Using a deep sponging action, draw awareness from tips of toes to heel, back and forth through the whole of each foot, one foot at a time. Feel this action as filling the inside of the whole of each foot as you do this. ·        Try splitting your awareness and sponging awareness through the whole of both feet at same time. Ankle Work:(Spend approximately 20 seconds on each part of this exercise) ·        Use stirring action on inner and outer left ankle centers, on bony lumps of ankle joint, one at a time. ·        Use wrapping action around whole of left ankle. ·        Repeat all above exercises on whole of right ankle. ·        Try splitting awareness and wrapping both ankles at the same time. Knee Work:(Spend approximately 20 seconds on each part of this exercise) ·        Use a large stirring action, then brushing action, on left kneecap. ·        Repeat both above actions on back of left knee joint. ·        Use wrapping action around entire left knee joint. ·        Repeat all the above exercises on right knee joint. ·        Try splitting awareness and wrapping both knee joints together. Leg Work:While the legs are extraordinarily complex energetic structures, for development purposes it is easier to consider there are only five main energy pathways in each leg. As a part of the awareness sensitizing and energy blockage clearing process, we will be working on each of the four outer pathways, until the entire leg begins to respond as a single energy conduit. When this happens, the inner bone marrow core conduit will automatically begin joining in with the flow of energy. After they have become more awareness sensitive, both legs will be used together with a single split-awareness sponging awareness action, to draw energy into the body, with energy raising techniques later in this book. Five main leg pathways:1.        Front 2.        Rear 3.        Inner 4.        Outer 5.        Internal bone marrow core Use a wide brushing action on the front of each leg, one at a time. Scratch, rub or stroke the whole leg pathway being worked upon if required to help awareness target it. Move awareness from the tips of toes, over top of foot and ankle, up shin to knee, and on up to top of hip joint on each leg, one leg at a time. Stroke awareness steadily back and forth, up and down, a dozen times each way. Each leg sweep should take approximately three seconds for each pass, up or down. This exercise is designed to stimulate that energy pathway there and not to raise energy up through it. This is why awareness is brushed in both directions. Follow this basic procedure for each of the following leg exercises. ·        Repeat the above procedure on the back of each leg, one at a time, from heel to back of knee joint, to rear of hip joint (top of buttock) and then back down again to heel. ·        Repeat this on outer side of each leg, one at a time. Especially pay attention to taking energy from the smallest toe, through the outer side of foot to heel, to side of ankle, up to side of knee, to top of outer hip joint, and then back down to ankle again. ·        Repeat this on inner side of each leg, one at a time, from big toe through inner side of foot to inner side of ankle, to inner knee, to inner groin crease at the top of each leg, and then back down again. ·        Raise energy with large sponging action, through the whole of each leg, feeling all of the leg as you go. Draw awareness from whole of foot, through ankle, and on up through knee joint to hip, and then back down through whole of leg to foot again. ·        Try splitting awareness and doing this last (whole leg) exercise on both legs at once. Hip Centers:There are four very large secondary energy center vortexes flowering near the surface in each hip joint. The inner two of these are connected to some particularly sensitive energy structures within the groin, including the genital primary energy center and its sex organs. These centers are situated at the top of each inner thigh, in the creases where the large tendons in the thighs enter the groin on each side. These centers must be handled with care. Please follow the groin crease stimulation exercises exactly as I have outlined them, and heed the cautions given for working on these centers at end of this section. ·        On one hip joint at a time, first use a wide stirring action, three or four inches (6 - 8cm) in diameter, then a wide brushing action up and down, and then from side to side, on the front part of the hip joint, then on the outer part of the hip joint, and then on the rear part of the hip joint. These three centers are not overly sensitive like the inner thigh crease centers, and thus no cautions apply. Cease stimulation once any noticeable energy sensations are felt. With these centers, heavy throbbing and pulsing sensations are commonly felt, as well as buzzing and tingling when active. ·        On each inner groin crease center, first use a stirring action an inch or two in diameter. You do not have to spread your legs for this (optional), as awareness will easily move through the flesh on either side of the groin crease centers. Next, use a narrow brushing action and move awareness back and forth over the center, stroking through the groin crease as if you were sliding an artist's brush back and forth through it. Cease stimulation as soon as this center shows any sign of becoming active. ·        Finally, use a wrapping action around each entire hip joint, one at a time, taking in all four centers of each. This particular awareness action must be done at a slight angle to cover all four centers, because of the way the hip joint is shaped, and may feel a little awkward at first. Just do the best you can with this exercise. ·        Try splitting awareness and wrapping both hips at once, in whatever direction is felt as being easiest. Often, split awareness actions, each moving in opposing directions, works better for this. ·        Try using a figure eight awareness action and stimulating all eight hip centers with a single action. Caution - Groin Crease Centers:The groin crease centers are the largest, most powerful and sensitive secondary energy centers in the entire body. I do not recommend experimenting with or playing around with these centers just to see what might happen. These can cause some extremely heavy throbbing and pulsing energetic sensations, which can all too easily spread into the genitals themselves if care is not taken. Do not overdo the stimulation of the inner centers. Once you feel a slight pulsing, throbbing, tingling or buzzing in them, leave them alone and proceed on to the next exercise. It is quite normal to feel some fairly strong throbbing sensations in the groin crease centers, and even to feel some slight sexual arousal; especially when you first begin working on them. This does not normally cause any problems so please do not become alarmed, unless these sensations become intense or overly distracting. If sexual arousal is felt as starting, immediately move onto the next exercise, as this is a sure sign the groin crease centers have become active. Be aware that over stimulation and overly strong energy movement sensations within the groin crease centers will tend to lock body awareness into the genital area, and into the genital primary energy center. If this is allowed to continue, it can cause unusually strong, urgent and continuing sexual arousal; making further development exercises very difficult at that time. If energy movement sensations do spread into your groin and genitals and appear to be taking hold there, stop what you are doing and force your awareness strongly away from that area. Focus your awareness in your hands instead. Clap your hands several times, hard, and use the tingling this creates in your palms to help lock body awareness there. Hold awareness strongly in your hands until your point of awareness stops trying to slide back to your genital center. If the above problem continues, get up and go for a short walk, and take your mind and awareness off the problem. Walking, jumping, running, clapping hands and slapping arms and face, or any other vigorous exercise, will help. If none of these do the trick, take a cold shower or two; and/or soak your feet and hands in iced water; which will normally fix the problem fairly quickly. Return to the groin center exercises during future development session, but be a little more careful next time. However, if over-stimulation and genital awareness locking continues to reoccur at each session, discontinue inner groin crease center work entirely, and skip these in all future development sessions.

Hand & Arm Development The energy body also exchanges and draws energies into itself through the hands, from a variety of different sources. Rather than over-complicating matters here, it is best to think of these energies as being simply atmospheric subtle energies. Atmospheric energies have different qualities from the more earthly energies, which flow into the feet and legs. The hands, like the feet, contain heavy concentrations of energy exchange ports in the palms and undersides of fingers. Hand & Arm Work: As with the feet and legs, many small areas and individual energy centers in the hands and arms, need to be worked through in order to clear blockages, redefine pathways and generally loosen them up. This early work progressively increases their energetic potential, which increases the amount of energy that it is possible to draw through them. Again, please keep in mind that much of this early work is only done while the NEW system is being learned. This work is very progressive and large areas will quickly come online. Stimulation then becomes a simpler matter, with large brushing and sponging awareness actions being used to stimulate whole hands and arms in pairs. And in time, these become rapid, whole of limb energy sweeping actions. Finger Work: Work on each finger, starting with your thumbs, in the same way and in the same order as you did with your toes, on both hands, one at a time. Unlike the toes though, all the finger joints can be effectively worked on with the stirring action (if necessary or desired), as finger joints are easier to target with awareness than the smaller toe joints are. Using the stirring action on each finger joint should be considered optional, however, and only done if energy blockages are present, i.e., if the fingers and hands cannot be made to respond with brushing and sponging actions. It is easy to tell if any area is not responding, as no energy movement sensations at all will be felt coming from the areas being worked on. You may find it easier to do these early finger and hand exercises if you look at each finger as you work on it. Once these exercises have been done a few times though, please discontinue using your eyes for this purpose. The most important thing here, in the very beginning, is to get your fingers and hands to respond. ·        Work through every joint and knuckle in each hand with the stirring action, starting with the thumb joints where they join your hands, one at a time. Use the stirring action on top of the joints only, and not on the sides or underneath. If you are having trouble getting your hands working, however, you may like to do both sides and undersides as well. Use the stirring action on all thumb joints, but using it on the finger joints is to be considered optional. ·        Use a narrow brushing action to stimulate the entire length of each finger, one at a time, on top of both hands, from large knuckles to fingertips, for thirty seconds each or until they respond, and for longer if you so choose. Try and feel this action inside the whole of each finger as you do it. Turn hand over and repeat this with each finger and thumb on its underside, in the same way. ·        Use wrapping action around the whole length of each finger, one at a time. The position the hand is held in can be varied to suit what is easiest for you to feel, palm up or down. Use a narrow, overlapping wrapping action, slowly spiraling up each finger length as you wrap it. Continue this for thirty seconds per finger, or until they respond, and for longer if desired. ·        Use a wide brushing action, as if you were using a large paintbrush, and stimulate the back of each hand, covering all fingers from fingertips to a few inches above wrists, one hand at a time, for thirty seconds or more, even if they respond well earlier. Feel this action as if you were drawing your awareness through the whole of each hand. ·        Use wide brushing action across all fingers, from side to side, covering all fingers. ·        Try splitting awareness and repeating the above actions on both hands at the same time. Palm Work: As with the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands and undersides of the fingers all contain a high concentration of energy exchange ports. These overlay and feed the complex energy structures within the hands and wrists. ·        Repeat the same process as you did with the soles of your feet, on the palm of each hand, one at a time. First use a tight, mobile stirring action, moving this action about until you have covered the whole of the palm of each hand, including the underside of all fingers. ·        Next, use a wide brushing action, back and forth, from a few inches above the heel of palm to fingertips, covering the entire surface of palms and undersides of all fingers. ·        Try splitting awareness and brushing both palms together, from above wrists to fingertips. ·        Palm work, as with sole work, can also cause intense energy movement sensations in the palms and fingers. These sensations will usually reduce more quickly than those in the feet. Hand Work: (Spend at least 20 seconds on each of these exercises) ·        Using a large sponging action, move awareness through whole of left hand, from fingertips to a few inches above wrist, back and forth, feeling whole of hand. ·        Repeat on right hand. ·        Try splitting awareness and sponging through both hands at the same time. Wrist Work: (Spend at least 20 seconds on each of these exercises) ·        Use a large stirring action, then wide brushing action, on top of left wrist. ·        Repeat both above actions on underside of left wrist. ·        Use wrapping action around entire left wrist. ·        Repeat all above actions on right wrist. ·        Try splitting awareness and wrapping both wrists together. Elbow Work: (Spend at least 20 seconds on each of these exercises) ·        Use wide stirring action, then brushing action, on outer left elbow. ·        Repeat both above actions on inner left elbow. ·        Use wrapping action around entire left elbow joint. ·        Repeat all above actions on right elbow. ·        Try splitting awareness and using wrapping action on both elbows together. Shoulder Work: Each shoulder carries several large secondary centers, similar to the groin area, but work on these does not carry any cautions. Spend at least 20 seconds on each shoulder exercise. You may find it easier to hold your arms akimbo while working on armpits and wrapping shoulder joints. ·        Use a fairly large stirring action, then brushing action, on each of these joint centers: 1.        Outer shoulder joint (point of shoulder). 2.        Armpit. 3.        Rear of shoulder joint. 4.        Front of shoulder joint. ·        Use wrapping action around entire shoulder joint, with arm held akimbo. ·        Repeat all above exercises with right shoulder. ·        Try splitting awareness and wrapping both shoulders together, arms akimbo. Arm Work: As individual arm pathways are difficult to target, it is more practical to treat these as only two and to work on the inner and outer pathways only. Accuracy is not required for this as long as each pathway covers approximately half of the thickness of each arm (inner and outer) so the whole arm is covered. Move awareness back and forth, from fingertips to shoulder, a dozen times in each direction for the following exercises. Take approximately three seconds over each upward arm sweep and the same down. ·        Along outer left arm, use wide brushing action from fingertips to wrist, to elbow, to outer shoulder. ·        Repeat above on inner left arm, from fingertips, inner wrist, inner elbow to armpit. ·        Repeat on whole of left arm, using sponging action, feeling all of arm, inside and out. ·        Repeat all above exercises on right arm. ·        Try splitting awareness and repeating sponging action with whole of both arms at once. Hands & Arms - Quick Reference Guide: 1.        Fingers o        Stir thumb joints then brush and wrap each finger and thumb joint. o        Use wide brushing action across all fingers, side to side. 2.        Hands o        Wide brushing action along back of each hand, fingertips to wrists. 3.        Palms o        Rotary stirring action, then wide brushing action on each. 4.        Hands o        Use whole of hand sponging action, through both hands. 5.        Wrists o        Stir inner and outer, then use brushing and wrapping action. 6.        Elbows o        Stir inner and outer, then use brushing and wrapping action. 7.        Shoulders o        Stir inner, outer, front, back, then brush & wrap. 8.        Arms o        Wide brushing action along outer, then inner, pathways. o        Sponging action through whole of each arm. Again, please keep in mind here, after working so laboriously and painstakingly through your energy body, that most of the above exercises are only used during early training. The NEW system is very progressive and large parts of your energy body will soon begin responding to single, larger awareness energy sweeping actions. This will become apparent when you start working with some of the more advanced energy raising practices and full body circuits ahead. Energy Bounce TechniquesRobert BruceEnergy bounce is a simple but effective awareness technique. It makes use of the awareness resistance factor that occurs when awareness is drawn rapidly through the substance of the energy body. This helps to clear, redefine and strengthen all energy pathways, including the large, internal, bone-marrow cores; by forcing energy to move rapidly through them. Awareness Resistance Factor:When awareness is moved rapidly through the energy body, natural energetic resistance is encountered. This resistance feels as if something is slowing or dragging at the awareness action being used, like you are dragging your awareness through an almost liquid substance. Awareness resistance allows you to feel the substance of your own energy body. Awareness bounce actions create an energetic ripple-wave effect through the energy/etheric body. This ripple-wave causes a gentle disruption within its substance which forces energy movement. This helps clear and develop internal pathways and structures. It can also be said to have the effect of generally loosening up the energy body. As an example (using a rapid sponging action), bounce your awareness up and down through the whole of one leg (pick one) from foot to hip, feeling it moving in both directions; as with the earlier whole of limb sponging exercises. Bounce your awareness from foot to hip and back, rapidly and repeatedly. Your body awareness is capable of lightning-fast movements and of flicking from one body part to another instantly, but not so when you are moving it through the energy body in this way. Slowly increase the speed of this leg bounce and you will soon feel resistance to the bounce action. You will find there is a natural speed limit of about half a second each way. If you move faster than this, your awareness will lose contact with the substance of your energy body and begin flicking from foot to hip and back, while skipping the leg in between. Once this happens you are no longer driving your point of awareness through your energy body, and are therefore no longer stimulating it. Bounce Testing:Whatever part of your body you wish to bounce awareness through, first experiment with the speed, increasing the bounce frequency until resistance is encountered. Once resistance is felt, slow the speed a little until you are quickly and comfortably bouncing through your body while still retaining the feel of body awareness contact. This is the correct speed for the bounce action in that area. Do not count or time this with a watch, just get the feel for what seems like the best speed for you. Bounce ActionsLeg Bounce:As above, take your awareness through one or both legs, from feet to hips. First test for resistance to gauge the correct speed and bounce frequency, then bounce repeatedly from feet to hips and back to feet again. You will quickly develop a natural rhythm with this action and you will feel the slight dragging effect it has within your energy body. There will often be energy movement sensations in the bounce area, but these are usually fairly mild. Continue bouncing for at least a minute, or for as long as you wish. It’s quite a pleasant sensation when you get used to it and the bounce action will become almost automatic with a little practice. Try splitting awareness and bouncing through both legs simultaneously. Arm Bounce:First test for resistance and adjust speed to suit. As above, bounce awareness through one or both arms, from hands to shoulders and back again repeatedly. Try splitting awareness and bouncing through both arms at the same time. An alternative to this is to hold your arms wide and level, and then bounce from one hand to another with awareness passing through shoulders and chest in between. Spinal Bounce:This is a wonderful technique if you suffer back tension or spinal pain. I have a few spinal injuries myself and find this very soothing and healing. Once you master the spinal bounce technique you can set it in motion and then use your mind for other things, meditation, etc. Only a small part of your awareness is required to keep the bounce action continuing in the background. This technique is beneficial for overall energetic development as it has a gentle stimulating effect on the roots of all primary energy centers. All primary centers (also called major Chakras) apart from the brow and crown centers are rooted within the spine. The spinal bounce technique gently stimulates all these roots without actively stimulating the more sensitive vortex-like structures that flower on the front surface of the human torso. I recommend that serious energy developers spend at least a few minutes per day on this exercise, with particular attention being paid when using the brushing action on the coccyx at the start. I find this exercise is easier to do regularly during pre-sleep each night. This soon becomes habitual, although it can of course be done at any other time, as desired. ·        Awareness target the coccyx (tail bone) at base of spine, scratching or rubbing if necessary. Pre-stimulate coccyx with a brushing action for thirty seconds or so. Cease pre-stimulation of coccyx if any erotic symptoms or strong energy movement sensations are felt. Move straight onto the following bounce action if this happens, and be more careful brushing the coccyx next time. If this is the case, reducing the amount of time spent doing this may be wise, or even avoiding the coccyx brushing altogether if it becomes a recurring problem. ·        Move awareness along the full length of spine to just above top of head. Bounce awareness back and forth, from coccyx to head, feeling this up and down the middle of your back, in your spine, all the way. Try and keep this action narrowed to the spine itself. Increase the speed of this action until you encounter resistance, then back off to a more comfortable rhythm - about half a second or so in each direction. Breathe naturally while doing this. ·        If you have spinal injuries, use a blade-like awareness action and slice from side to side, starting at the base of your spine and working your way slowly up your spine. Pay particular attention and spend more time using this slicing action on damaged areas. Full Body Bounce:The full body bounce takes awareness up and down through the entire body. This can be done while in any position, but is best learned while lying down with arms raised straight above your head. Take your awareness from both feet, up through both legs, hips, torso and spine, head, arms, and all the way to just above your fingertips. Bounce your awareness back and forth, from feet to fingertips, increasing speed until resistance is felt. The bounce rhythm should be fairly quick, one or two seconds each way, but whatever feels easiest and most natural is best. Try and feel the whole of your body with each full body bounce. This whole-body feel does not have to be exact, just a general feel of your awareness moving through your body is all that is necessary. ·        A variation of the above is with arms resting at sides, where awareness is bounced from feet to just above top of head. This is far more practical while sitting or standing. Energy Raising & StorageRobert BruceFeel all the coming awareness energy raising actions as if you were drawing a large sponge up through each pair of limbs, and were sponging liquid up through them, feeling the whole of them as you do this. Try and stay as physically relaxed as you can while doing these, but don't worry if you tense up a little or tend to twitch a bit at times. A little physical tension will not interfere with this type of energy rising. In time, you'll learn how to do this while standing, walking and even running. ·        A deep level of physical relaxation is not required for any of these training exercises; unless physical tension is suspected as interfering with the energy raising process. If tension is a problem, deep physical relaxation and/or trance systems (See Treatise on OBE, or better, Astral Dynamics), should be practiced first. ·        If awareness cannot be easily split, and two limbs cannot be effectively worked upon at the same time, it is permissible to work on only one limb at a time. It is much more important to raise some energy than it is to be able to split awareness actions and follow this tutorial exactly as written. Just do your best with all the exercises in this tutorial and adapt them to suit your needs and capabilities. Do not worry if one leg or arm does not appear to respond well. Usually one side of the body will be stronger and will thus be easier to draw energy through than the other. Keep trying with the unresponsive side and continue trying to use arms and legs as pairs, when doing these exercises. If one leg or arm is all you can feel, draw energy through it but do not neglect the unresponsive ones. Unresponsive body parts require more development work and should be concentrated on with the energy blockage clearing exercises given earlier (see early training units). If unresponsive areas are present, some time should be put aside for extra work on these at the start of each training session. Areas with a weaker flow of energy are signs of energy body inactivity. Regular stimulation will revitalize these areas and the energy pathways therein will widen and redefine, progressively allowing more and more energy to flow through them. In time and with regular development work, the entire energy body will come online and energy flow will steadily become more evenly distributed. Any part of the energy body that feels in any way different from the rest of it should be suspected of having an energy blockage. It should then be treated with appropriate energy blockage clearing exercises. Energy Raising:Basic Procedures For Leg Energy Raising:There are two ways to raise energy into your body: with awareness alone or with awareness aided by the natural breathing action. First, here are the basic procedures for raising energy with awareness alone. These are generally used as a part of the full body circuit (coming up later) or for raising energy to primary energy centers. They are also very useful on their own for when it is impractical to do anything more elaborate. For example: if you are too tired to do anything else and just want to raise some quick energy to empower your sleep and dreams, while in the process of falling asleep. ·        Pre-Stimulating Feet: First brush back and forth across all toes of one foot, with a single wide brushing action, for about thirty seconds. Next, use a wide brushing action on the sole, also for about thirty seconds. Finally, draw a deep sponging action through whole of the foot, for about thirty seconds. Repeat the above process on your other foot. Split awareness and repeat above sponging action with both feet at the same time, if possible. Continue this process until some activity is felt in one or both feet. If you have no trouble doing this and get a good response, pre-stimulate using split-awareness with a whole of feet sponging action only, for all future exercises. The most common energy movement sensations felt with this type of pre-stimulation are whole of feet heaviness and fuzziness, with mild overall tingling and buzzing. ·        Splitting awareness (optional) reach down and grab the energy of both feet with your awareness hands, and pull energy upward. Sponge it up through the whole of both legs to your hips. Feel the whole of your legs as you do this. The action of feeling awareness moving up through legs forces energy to flow upwards through them. ·        Take energy up over front of hips (avoiding genitals) and flow this directly into your Sub-Navel energy storage center - midway between belly button and pubic line and two inches inside body, depending upon the size of your body, of course. The Sub-Navel target area does not have to be exact, as long as energy is made to flow inside the body somewhere roughly in the middle of the lower navel area. ·        Feel the energy flowing deep into your belly for a moment, feeling your Sub-Navel center sucking it all in like a vacuum cleaner. Then flick your awareness back to your feet, ready for the next upwards energy raising sweep. ·        Develop a rhythmic drawing action, sweeping and sponging energy upwards through your legs, over and through the front of your hips, and deep into your Sub-Navel storage center. ·        Take two to three seconds over each upward sweep - but whatever feels most natural is best. ·        At the end of each upwards sweep, flick awareness back to your feet, ready to start over. ·        Alternate legs, if you are drawing energy up through only one leg at a time. When you get a good flow of energy moving you may feel a slight pulsing, bubbling sensation in your lower navel area. This feels a little like warm, localized stomach wind near the site of the Sub-Navel storage center. The exact site of this sensation varies slightly from person to person, but is usually within a couple of inches of the Sub-Navel storage center. This sensation indicates leg energy is successfully stimulating the Sub-Navel center and being stored therein. Basic Procedures For Arm Energy Raising:Energy can also be raised through the arms. This is normally only used as a part of a full body circuit or for stimulating the higher primary energy centers. However, energy can also be raised on its own in this way when there is a need for it. ·        Position: If sitting in a chair: either hang your arms by your sides, or rest them palm upwards in your knees. If you are lying down: lift your hands above the bed, with your elbows resting comfortably beside you on the bed surface, while you stimulate your hands. Rest them flat on the bed again once they become active, if you so wish. Natural comfort is the most important thing with these exercises, rather than following every instruction here to the letter. ·        Pre-Stimulating Hands: Stimulate all fingers with a wide brushing across them; and then both palms with a large brushing action along their length; and then the whole of both hands with a large sponging action (as show earlier) feeling whole of hands, wrists and all fingers. You can work on one hand at a time, or both together with a split awareness action. Cease pre-stimulation when energy movement sensations are felt, i.e., a heaviness, fuzziness, tingling or buzzing in hands. ·        Split awareness (optional) and draw energy through both hands with a large sponging action. Continue this action on up through the whole of both arms to your shoulders; and from there take the energy to the back of your neck. The back of the neck is where it will be joining in with the energy stream being raised through your spine, as part of a full body energy raising circuit (coming up). ·        If this technique is used on its own, take energy through shoulders; down over chest and stomach; and then take it directly into the Sub-Navel storage center, with a single, sweeping, sponging awareness action. ·        Feel the energy flowing into your Sub-Navel center for a moment, then flick your awareness back into your hands ready for the next energy-raising sweep up through your arms. ·        Use two to three second upward energy sweeps; flicking awareness back to hands at the end of each upward sweep, ready to start on the next. Raising Energy With Breathing:Now we get to the part where you start putting all that you have learned into practice and begin raising and storing energy in your Sub-Navel storage center with a full body circuit. A full body circuit stimulates the entire energy body, using the above two basic energy raising techniques. This steadily increases energetic flow and vitality levels while causing widespread bio-energetic development, in a safe and progressive way. Breathing creates a natural motion within the energy body: that of something flowing into and then out of it. This creates a natural upwards and downwards, inwards and outwards motion. This is very useful when combined with body awareness-based energy raising techniques. The breathing action also gives energy raising actions a natural rhythm, creating regular energy pulses throughout the energy body. Awareness actions quickly take on their own momentum which makes them easier to do, especially when used with the natural breathing rhythm. Arms & Legs:If you are just starting out with these exercises, the first step is to loosen up and stimulate the your feet, legs, hands and arms. Repeat the above two sections on basic arm and leg energy raising (referring to earlier sections as needed) until you get some energy movement sensations. If nothing is felt, however, continue with the following exercises anyway. Energy will still be drawn into your energy body and stored even if nothing is actually felt. This process also helps stimulate inactive areas into greater activity. Full Body Storage Circuits:#1. Two Part Storage Circuit:The Two Part storage circuit is a simple procedure designed to take arm and leg energy directly into the Sub-Navel storage center. This soon develops a natural rhythm, making it easier to continue for lengthy periods of time. Feel free to vary the positions of your arms and legs to whatever feels most natural to you. This circuit can be done while sitting, lying down, standing or even while walking and running, but is best learned while lying down with arms spread wide or extended above your head. I like to use this circuit when I am raising energy outside, e.g., while watching sunrise or sunset. I find there are larger than normal amounts of available energy at these times, as well as in other beautiful natural settings; although this observation may be entirely subjective. If I am alone, I usually stand with legs and arms wide, eyes closed, and feel for the wind with my hands, and then for the Earth under my feet, as I raise energy into myself. The only caution here is that large amounts of energy can make you a little dizzy while standing in this position, especially if your eyes are closed. I have staggered and almost fallen over several times while doing this, so please be careful. ·        Use The Basic Leg & Arm Energy Raising Techniques, as given above, for the below circuit. 1.        Before IN breath, center awareness in feet. 2.        During the whole IN breath, raise energy up legs, and flow it into Sub-Navel. 3.        Continue flowing energy into Sub-Navel until IN breath is completely finished. 4.        When the IN breath finishes flick awareness instantly into hands. 5.        As OUT breath starts draw energy through arms, down chest, and into Sub-Navel. 6.        Continue flowing energy into Sub-Navel until OUT breath is finished. 7.        At the end of the OUT breath flick awareness back to feet again. 8.         Repeat above steps 1 - 7 continually, settling into a relaxed, natural rhythm. 9.        IN and OUT can be reversed for the above sequence, if preferred. 10.        If you cannot split awareness, alternate legs and arms, using one limbs at a time. #2. Full Body Storage Circuit:The full body circuit is the end result of all you have learned here so far. This combines awareness energy raising with breathing, as with the above technique, but covers the entire body with a continual flow of energy, rather than having two separate flows. This stimulates the majority of energy conduits, pathways and energy centers in the entire energy body. It also gently and safely stimulates all primary energy centers, as well as their roots in the spine and brain. The full body circuit is the ultimate energy development tool. No matter what part of the energy body being developed of for whatever purpose, it will require development of whole-body energy circuitry to allow, support and power it; which the full body circuit provides. The full body circuit should be done, if possible, for a minimum of fifteen minutes per day to gain significant long-term benefits. Thirty minutes or more is even more beneficial. This exercise can be split into many shorter sessions, if more convenient. Even a ten second session is valuable. Better use can thus be made of waiting and traveling time, as the full body circuit can be done anywhere, anytime and in any position. There is NO limit to the length of time this can or should be done for, and the more often the better, provided all relevant cautions given herein this tutorial are heeded. With a little practice the full body circuit will become virtually automatic. It can then be combined with other types of meditation and trance work. Try and make this a part of your daily life and raise energy as often as possible. If you raise a little energy, even if just one or two breaths worth every time you think about energy, raising energy will slowly become habitual. If a full body circuit is done for just a few minutes prior to falling asleep, the extra energy raised will increase the vividness and power of your dreams and lucid dreaming. It can also cause more frequent spontaneous Out of Body Experiences and make these easier to remember. The extra energy provided by these techniques empowers all subtle and dream bodies alike. The awareness actions used in the full body circuit can be fairly wide and do not have to be narrowed to just the spine. Allow the action to spread out as energy is raised up through your back. Hold awareness close, feeling the movement as you take your awareness down the front of your body. This part of the action can, again, be quite wide and should be allowed to spread out as it descends, then narrowing again slightly as it starts to flow into the Sub-Navel. Use slow, reasonably deep, natural breathing and hold awareness firmly in your body at all times. Pre-stimulate feet and hands and bounce awareness through your whole body a few times before starting, as necessary. The full body circuit can be done in any position, but is best learned while lying on your back with arms resting comfortably at your sides. All preliminary stimulation exercises can be skipped if many short sessions are being done during the day. 1.        Before the IN breath, center awareness firmly in feet. 2.        During the whole IN breath, raise energy up legs, through hips and spine to back of neck and on up to top of head. 3.        Hold awareness firmly in whole top of head and feel energy flowing into and accumulating in the crown center, until the IN breath is completed. Note that the crown center is quite large and covers the whole top of head above hairline. 4.        As the OUT breath starts, sweep awareness down over face; into mouth; down throat and out over chest; then down over stomach; flowing energy deep into Sub-Navel for remainder of OUT breath. 5.        At the end of OUT breath, flick awareness back into feet ready for beginning next IN breath. 6.        Repeat the above process continually, settling into a natural rhythm. ·        IN and OUT can be reversed if preferred. ·        If awareness cannot easily be split, again, alternate arms and legs, drawing up one side of body at a time. IE, first draw up left leg and left arm to top of head on the IN breath, then down front of body on OUT breath. Next draw up right leg and right arm on IN breath, then down front of body on OUT breath. Alternate sides with each new breath. Joining Arms Into Full Body Circuit:Once you are comfortable with the above full body circuit, try and join your arms into the energy flow as well. This increases overall energy flow as well as drawing in different types of energies through your hands. But including your arms in this way should also be considered optional. It can be omitted if you have difficulty with it, or find this addition makes the process too complicated. It is far more important to have some kind of a full body circuit that you can use and do well, rather than to literally follow every step of these techniques. ·        During the above full body circuit, as body awareness passes where hands are resting, on its way upwards, draw energy in through hands and up arms as well. Raise arm energy in line with the rest of the energy flow from this point onwards, in one fluid, upwards, whole-body energy raising sweep. Feel your arm energy joining into the spinal energy flow at the back of your neck; or just feel it as generally rising with the flow and joining in. This does not have to be exact. Smoothly continue the awareness action upwards into the crown center. Continue the full body circuit, as given above, from here on. The only change is the addition of arm energy into the flow with each upwards sweep on the IN breath; and everything else stays exactly the same. The continual awareness motion around the body used with the full body circuit does not have to follow an exact path. It does not matter if it wavers slightly this way or that, or if it spreads out or narrows as it moves around your body. As long as you are feeling your energy raising action moving roughly in-line with the procedure given above, this will have a good overall effect on your energy body. If the full body circuit given above does not suit you for some reason, or if you find it too difficult, please feel free to stick with the Two Part storage circuit, as given earlier. This is a much simpler and easier circuit to do and will have the same general result, i.e., causing whole energy body development. It’ s more important to have some type of energy circuit that works for you than it is to follow my directions here to the letter. Direct Sub-Navel Energy Raising:When your body becomes more energy sensitive, say after practicing energy raising for a few weeks, you will find yourself becoming more aware of many other types of subtle energy. You will also become more aware of your Sub-Navel storage center. Once this begins to happen you will be able to draw energy directly into it through both arms and both legs, all at the same time. When you first start doing this though its best to start with only the legs, drawing energy up through them as a pair. The arms can also be used on their own, as a pair, drawing energy in and down to the Sub- Navel. Once each of these methods has been practiced on its own for a while, an attempt can then be made to combine them and draw energy through both arms and both legs simultaneously. This technique is very versatile and can be done anywhere and anytime, to take advantage of high-energy areas and situations. But this should not be used to replace the full body circuit. Direct energy raising, while effective as an energy raising method, does not cover the entire energy body. This is simply a useful alternative energy raising method. Legs:Pre-stimulate and bounce feet and legs, as necessary. Center awareness in Sub-Navel center. While holding this, reach out with more of your awareness and become aware of the whole of both legs and feet. Feel your legs as being attached to your Sub-Navel center, imagining they are part of a large upside- down V, with the Sub-Navel at its tip. Feel a vacuum-like emptiness in your Sub-Navel center. Feel energy flowing and being drawn up through the whole of both legs simultaneously. Do not brush or sponge your awareness up your legs, just feel the energy flowing up through them like water under pressure, in a continual stream. Feel the energy/water flowing deep into your Sub-Navel and being stored therein. Arms:Pre-stimulate and bounce hands and arms, as necessary. Center awareness in Sub- Navel. While holding this, reach out with more of your awareness and feel of the whole of both arms and their hands. If your arms are resting at your sides, feel them as being attached to your Sub-Navel, like they are part of a large M. If arms are resting in a raised or other position, imagine another figure; say a V or a T. Feel a vacuum-like emptiness in your Sub-Navel. Feel energy flowing and being drawn into and through the whole of both arms simultaneously. Do not brush or sponge up your arms, just feel the energy flowing up them. Feel this energy flowing up both arms to the shoulders, and then feel each of these energy streams flowing down over the front of your chest, before flowing down into the Sub-Navel. Feel the energy flowing into Sub-Navel and being stored therein. Arms & Legs Together:Pre-stimulate limbs, as necessary. As above, center awareness strongly in Sub-Navel center. While holding this, reach out with more of your awareness and feel the whole of both arms and both legs simultaneously. Create a feeling of emptiness in your Sub-Navel, a feeling of vacuum and suction, drawing energy in through both arms and both legs, all at the same time. Feel the energy flowing into your Sub-Navel and being stored therein. All the above actions create a strong energy demand in the Sub-Navel. Energy will be drawn into the body through the hands and feet in response to this energy demand. Again, this should not be used to replace the full body circuit, but can be very useful under certain circumstances. A simple litany can be used each time you do the above, to help program your energy body to respond to this Sub-Navel vacuum-type energy raising action. For example, "I...am...Energy..." can be repeated slowly and with deep feeling several times, silently, as you center awareness deep within your Sub-Navel and reach out through all your limbs, feeling your Sub-Navel sucking energy into itself from all directions at once. Energy Flow & Effort:As mentioned earlier, a deep state of physical relaxation and/or the trance state are not generally required for the NEW system. Effort can thus be put into awareness actions without breaking any delicate mental state. Once your body becomes more energy sensitive, more effort can be applied to energy raising actions, where necessary. The amount of energy that can be raised is directly affected by the application of will to awareness actions. This is particularly useful when there are low background energy conditions; for those times when a greater energy flow is required; and for clearing stubborn, unresponsive and blocked areas with brute awareness force. For normal energy raising and development, however, I strongly recommend that only a normal level of awareness effort be used. This is not only easier but far more natural and the result will be a more even and robust development of the energy body as a whole. If too great an awareness effort is used all the time, it will cause too rapid expansion and growth in the delicate bio-energy circuitry of the energy body. This will make developing energy structures too weak, brittle and delicate to be of much practical use. Forced development through excessive effort grows large but delicate and unstable energy pathways. These will retract back to their original narrowed state fairly quickly, often becoming even smaller than they were before, if they are not gently nurtured during their development. Use increased effort to clear blockages and to overcome low background energy conditions, but not for general energy raising and long-term development purposes. And if the flow of energy into the Sub-Navel storage center does not equal the energy expenditure used to raise it, temporary energetic exhaustion can also be the result. This is though, often an unavoidable side effect during the early stages of energy body development, while blockages are being cleared, redefined and grown. Please keep in mind that when a blockage is cleared it can often cause high-energy usage, far in excess of the amount of energy available or being stored at that time. This can result in fatigue and temporary physical exhaustion; seemingly for no apparent reason. Often more energy is used to clear and repair blockages than can be raised and stored, thereby causing a temporary energy deficit. This can also cause noticeable energy movement sensations to continue for some time after energy-raising actions are ceased. Energy will consequentially sometimes continue flowing into depleted areas because of continuing energy demands therein. Blockages can also clear themselves spontaneously as a result of earlier development work; for no apparent reason. Because of this you may experience energy movement sensations outside of development session times, say in the middle of the night or during the day for no apparent reason. This is a very good sign, however, and shows your energy body is responding well to the overall development process. More NEW Energy WaysRobert BruceEnergy Center Spin:Primary energy centers are non-physical vortexes of energy that look, clairvoyantly, like spinning wheels of multicolored light. Although secondary energy centers cannot so easily be observed, it is logical to suggest they would also have similar attributes. The natural direction an energy center is spinning in can often be felt with the stirring awareness action, especially with the larger skeletal joint centers. If you feel resistance while using the stirring action, try reversing the direction of that action. If the new direction feels easier and more natural, or has a more positive effect, then there is a good chance that center will respond better to the new stimulation direction. Awareness Momentum:After repeating any awareness or energy raising action several times you will find it will tend to continue of its own accord, even after deliberate awareness actions have ceased. I call this effect Awareness Momentum. This seems to be caused by a kind of energy body memory taking over and continuing often-repeated body awareness actions. This makes the learning and practicing of NEW techniques and procedures much easier. Etheric Wrap Technique:Etheric Wrap is an extremely versatile technique. It is particularly useful for clearing energy blockages and restoring damaged parts of the energy body. Energy blockages and damaged areas can easily be detected once you get used to the NEW system; as your body becomes more energy sensitive. Areas that are unresponsive; that tingle noticeably; are heavy; sting, buzz or burn; or act in any way different from the rest of your body, sometimes indicate energy blockages or damage in that area. These areas will thus need special attention to restore them. When you draw or bounce awareness through your body you may also come upon areas that feel heavier or lighter or fuzzier. Or you might come across areas that provide more, or less, resistance to bounce actions, or that seem to deflect them. These areas should be suspected as being damaged and of needing restoration work. Etheric Wrap Technique: Use a wide wrapping action over the damaged area. Using your imagination, imagine an endless white bandage of pure energy flowing from your awareness hands. Feel this bandage of energy flowing into the damaged area as you wrap it. Feel the substance of your own energy body flowing into it. This action is to be varied to suit the size and position of the area being worked upon. For example, if you want to etheric wrap a leg: ·        Awareness target your foot, then begin wrapping from toes up, as if you were carefully wrapping an overlapping energy bandage around it. ·        Feel your energy flowing into that area, into the foot, through your awareness hands. ·        Continue wrapping up over foot, over ankle and on up leg, all the way to the hip. ·        Take your time over this, overlapping the wrapping action all the way. ·        Repeat this as often as required, wrapping up and down the leg, as this cannot be overdone. If you need to work on a particular internal organ with the etheric wrap technique, first find out exactly where the organ in question is inside your body. Surprisingly, many people do not know where many of their internal organs are situated. Move your awareness hands inside your body and feel for the organ in question. Feel your awareness hands massaging the organ and feel an endless white stream of energy flowing into and being absorbed by the organ. Note that some energy blockages will not show up for some time. Many will only become apparent after energy development has been underway for some time, weeks or even months. The energy body will begin restoring old energy pathways and structures (internally reconnecting itself) as it develops. This means it may be some time before energy reaches some parts of the energy body, hence the delay in the appearance of some energy blockages. High Energy Areas:The levels and qualities of available background energy can vary a great deal, from day to day and from place to place. For good quality energy raising, seek out and take advantage of high energy areas and times like: ·        Sunset and Sunrise. ·        Green wooded areas, like parks and forests. ·        Oceans, beaches, lakes, rivers, rapids and waterfalls. ·        Mountains and hills. ·        Storms, rainy and blustery windy days. ·         Early morning sunshine. ·        Moonlight and starlight. ·        Places where there is art and/or music. ·        Happy and excited crowds. If you raise energy regularly, you will become progressively more sensitive to energy. You will soon begin to feel high- energy days and high-energy areas, and be able to take advantage of them. Your body will start tingling automatically when in the presence of high levels of energy, as you learn to taste the energies that abound in the world around you. A potentially negative side effect of the above is the effect low energy people can have upon high-energy people. If a high-energy person comes into contact with a low energy person, often the energy deficit in the low person will cause a flow of energy into them, taken from the high-energy person. One way of looking at this is as unintentional energy vampirism. Another way of looking at this is as unintentional energy healing. Direct contact or touch is not necessary with low energy people, and you only have to be talking to them for this energy flow to happen, even over the telephone. Energy transfer is not weakened by distance as long as there is some kind of empathic connection to carry the energy. Some people may not seem to be energy depleted, but are veritable bottomless pits with insatiable appetites for energy. Everyone knows someone like this. You only have to be with them for a short time and your energy just seeps away. You quickly become bored, mildly depressed, and soon begin feel tired and start yawning. Low energy people like this should, ideally, either be convinced to practice energy raising themselves, or avoided as much as possible. The effects of low energy people can be countered to some extent by raising energy while you are associating with or talking with them; or by raising energy after this has ended. It can also help if you avoid physical contact and avoid making direct eye contact with them. You don't have to hide your eyes from people like this: simply look at the area between their eyes, instead of directly into their eyes during conversations. Daily Energy Raising Time:There is no limit to how much energy raising can or should be done, as long as this is taken only into the Sub-Navel storage center. The more often energy is raised the more energy will be stored therein, and the more energy will be available for physical, bio-energetic and pure energetic purposes. And remember, it is more beneficial for long-term development to raise energy gently and for longer periods of time, than it is to raise large amounts of energy in short bursts only. Mouth Centers & Exchange Ports:There are some fairly robust secondary centers along with a high density of energy exchange ports (tertiary centers) in the lips, tongue, mouth and throat. It is likely these extract life energies from food and drink, as these are chewed and swallowed. These also seem capable of transmitting energy through voice and song, as well as exchanging energies between lovers through kissing and et cetera. As a related side note: in my opinion these structures are also connected with the primary energy centers (major Chakras) located at the base of the throat and within the heart; and to a lesser extent with the brow and crown centers. The energy all these areas are capable of generating and absorbing can be substantially increased through direct awareness stimulation. Pre-Stimulating Mouth Area:Each of the below awareness actions should be continued for twenty seconds or more. Stimulate more of your mouth, lips, tongue and throat if you wish. These stimulation techniques can also be used prior to starting a full body circuit to enhance the mouth/throat part of those procedures. ·        With tongue pressed gently against lips, or protruding slightly, center awareness on lips and use a brushing action, back and forth across whole of lips. ·        Open mouth slightly and stick your tongue out a little. Center awareness on the tip of tongue, and use a wrapping action around it. The area to be worked on is about what could comfortably be protruded from your mouth if your tongue were gently protruded, without forcing it. ·        Close mouth and relax, then use the mobile, rotary stirring action (as used to stimulate soles of feet and palms of hands), on the top surface of tongue. ·        Use a wide brushing action along tongue, brushing back and forth, covering the whole length of tongue from base to tip. ·        Roll tongue back and press it gently against roof of mouth; without straining it. Focusing on the inside of mouth and not on tongue, brush the whole inside lining of mouth: top, bottom, sides, and inside of lips, in whatever way feels easiest, covering the whole inner lining surface. ·        With mouth closed, use a whole-of-mouth sponging action, taking in lips, mouth and tongue and throat, to base of throat, moving this action back and forth. Bend this action as it passes down your throat, then back up to your lips. Imagine you have a thick, bent tube inserted in your mouth and that this tube extends deep into your throat. Not a very comfortable picture, but this is just to give you the general idea of the awareness action required. Feel your awareness moving back and forth through this tube; taking in your lips; the whole of the inside lining of mouth and tongue; and then moving it deep into your throat to its base where it joins your chest, in and out repeatedly. Mouth Area Sensations: Awareness actions on the lips and tongue can cause some very peculiar energy movement sensations indeed. Strong tingling and buzzing sensations in the lips and tongue, plus a noticeably salty, metallic kind of taste like you get if you touch the terminals of a small nine-volt torch battery to your tongue, are quite normal. This energy taste sensation is probably the easiest way to demonstrate the effectiveness of the NEW system to other people. This proves how direct energy stimulation can be caused by awareness actions and felt as physical sensations. Food Energy Awareness:Pre-stimulate mouth, as shown above. When eating and drinking, feel yourself chewing and swallowing and extracting the life force from your food and drink. Eat and chew slowly and swallow thoughtfully, using your awareness to suck the maximum amount of life force out of all food and drink. Take this energy down into your throat and swallow it into your body as you swallow food and drink. This energy will naturally flow into the energy body's storage areas from there. This works with any type of food, but more value can be gained from a natural diet of fresh, high-quality, organically grown foods. The fresher and more naturally foods are grown, prepared and eaten the more high-quality life energy they will contain. But whatever you eat, this technique will assist to extract the maximum energy value from your food; even if you live on pizza and beer, as certain friends of mine seem to thrive on. Crowd & Excitement Energy:Learn to take advantage of any high-energy situation. Excited and happy crowds can release massive amounts of emotional energy into the surrounding atmosphere. This energy can be drawn in and used to increase energy levels. Center awareness strongly in your Sub-Navel center and reach out with your feelings to the whole of the surrounding crowd. Feel for the energy that is permeating the atmosphere as you feel the crowd and its excitement. Draw this energy into your body, taking it directly into your Sub-Navel; using the direct energy raising technique given earlier. As a related side note, I have had several reports from athletes taking part in the road test of the NEW system, of this technique positively affecting their athletic performance. Using the direct and wind energy raising procedures prior to and during athletic events, gives them a tingling, adrenalin-like energy boost. They claim this physically invigorates them, empowering and improving their efforts and times, giving them that slight edge when they most need it. The above seems a reasonable claim given the strong and noticeable effects energy raising actions can have upon the physical body. To support this: martial arts experts are well known to raise and use energy (often called Prana or Chi) to empower their prodigious feats of strength and agility. The NEW system can be used to compliment these existing energy raising systems, as with martial arts, or as a stand alone system to enhance athletic performance. And when at the top-end of athletic competition you are looking at mere hundredths of a second separating winners from losers, even the slight edge provided by an adrenalin-like energy boost at a crucial time could make all the difference. Wind Energy:Here is a great outdoor exercise for raising energy through the hands alone. This can be done at any time with no preparation. This is particularly invigorating in windy, blustery weather, say where a breeze is blowing off the ocean, lakes or mountains. If this is combined with energy breathing (next section) it can also have a very positive effect upon respiratory disorders. This technique is very easy to do and can even be taught to very young children. It also makes for a great demonstration exercise when teaching a novice. Of note, I have had very positive results using this method to help treat asthma and other types of lung disorders, in both children and adults. ·        Pre- stimulate hands, if necessary, or simply start fresh and just let it happen. ·        Hold fingers wide, hands at sides, and feel the temperature and texture of the wind moving through your fingers. ·        Raise arms slightly, palms out with fingers still spread wide, holding awareness firmly centered in whole of both hands. Feel the energy in the wind. Feel your hands, and feel energy flowing into your hands and into your body. ·        Draw the wind's energy in through your hands at the start of each IN breath. Take it up through your arms, over shoulders and down over chest, and flow it into your Sub-Navel center. Continue flowing energy into it for the remainder of the IN breath. ·        Relax during the OUT breath and feel all the tension and negative energy flowing up through lungs and out through mouth like a dark cloud of waste energy, for the whole OUT breath. Flick awareness back to hands and feel the wind again, at end of OUT breath, ready for start of next IN breath. ·        Continue the above processes for as long as you wish, you cannot overdo this. ·        Note:The speed of the above energy raising process should match the natural breathing cycle. Energy Breathing:The air we breathe contains a lot of energy and a small amount of this is absorbed into the body naturally through breathing. The mouth, nose, throat and lungs are full of internal energy exchange ports that aid this purpose. The energy absorbed by these can be increased by adding awareness actions and imagination to natural breathing. This is very simple to do and all that is required is to become consciously aware of the air entering your nose, moving into and through nasal passages and down into your lungs. Your awareness must follow the leading edge of the air, all the way in as it is breathed IN and your lungs fill, and all the way OUT as waste air is exhaled. Imagination can be used to enhance this even more by imagining the air being breathed is charged with colored energy, and by feeling this color being absorbed into the lungs. The expulsion of waste energy can also be enhanced by feeling waste energy leaving the body as a cloud during the OUT breath, and by imagining this as being a dirty color. The above exercise is beneficial for any respiratory disorder as well as for generally increasing vitality levels. This is especially so on windy, blustery days where wind is blowing off the ocean, a lake or a mountain range. I have used color breathing, added to the wind/hand energy method given above, for some years now to assist with the healing of respiratory disorders, and for breaking asthma attacks. I have successfully taught the basic wind energy raising and energy breathing procedures to children as young as six years of age, with positive results. Children, you will find, have extremely sensitive energy bodies and vivid, powerful imaginations. It does not take long to teach a child how to do this, although they will often collapse on the ground laughing because of the strong tingling and tickling sensations this can cause in their sensitive hands. This can tend to put children off using this method, but the intensity of these sensations will always reduce fairly quickly if they persevere. I have found that a little honesty, combined with a reward system (ice cream?) works best with children. Nasal Stimulation: There are some small energy centers and groups of exchange ports in and around the nose that can increase the effectiveness of energy breathing, if they are pre-stimulated. These are, apart from being related to the natural process of breathing energy into the body, also related to the energetic support structures of the brow and crown centers (major Chakras). ·        Do each of the following stimulation actions for twenty seconds or so. ·        Using stirring action, stimulate tip of nose, circling the entire tip, including nostril entrances. ·        Using a small brushing action, stimulate inside nostril entrances. Feel as if you are repeatedly pushing a small artists paintbrushes deep inside each nostril with your awareness, in and out. ·         Using a slightly larger brushing action, stimulate the entire length of your nose, brushing from upper lip, over nose, past eyebrows and ending at hairline above brow. Continue this up and down, over and over, feeling the whole of your nose as you do so. ·        Using a whole-of-nose sponging action, move awareness through nose, from upper lips to the middle of brow ridges, back and forth, over and over, feeling whole of nose as you stimulate it. Energy Breathing Technique:·        Breathe deeply and slowly IN through nose and OUT through mouth. Feel the life giving air and its energy entering your body. Follow the leading edge of this air. Feel this entering and caressing your nasal passages. Feel it moving down the back of your throat and down into your lungs, to the very bottom of your lungs. It is easy to feel this depth as being much deeper than it really is, and accuracy is not required. Feel the air and its energy moving deeper, flowing deep into your belly and entering your Sub- Navel center. ·        The above is easier to do if you concentrate only on the leading edge of the air being taken in, so your awareness moves with the front part of the whole air intake only. Trying to follow and hold awareness of an entire breath is otherwise very difficult. ·        Breathe OUT slowly through mouth. Be aware of the leading edge of your breath rising up from deep within your lungs, and up through your throat and out of your mouth. Feel waste energy leaving your lungs and body along with the waste air as a dark cloud, for the entire OUT breath. ·        Flick your point of awareness back to tip of nose ready for next the inhalation and repeat the entire process. Do not breathe rapidly or you may hyperventilate. Slow, deep, regular breathing produces best results. ·        Continue the above process for as long as you wish. Adding Colour:With the above energy breathing technique, colour can be added to increase its effectiveness; or for specific purposes, i.e., Colour Healing methods. It is easier adding colour to breathing, again, by focusing only on the leading edge of each lung-full of breath, during each IN and OUT breath. With practice this colour can be expanded to fill more of lungs with colour, and to expel larger clouds of waste colour. ·        To the IN breath, imagine the air you are breathing in is made of a bright, sparkling colour. Any colour can be used, but never a dull, murky, gray or black colour. ·        Feel the leading edge of this brightly coloured energy moving into you with each IN breath and filling you with life giving energy. Feel this energy being absorbed into your whole body as your lungs fill. ·        With each OUT breath, imagine the air is dirty yellow-brown like cigarette smoke, murky gray, or even black, and feel this as being dirty used-up energy and disease leaving your body. Scent Stimulation: There are energy exchange ports inside the nose that can best be stimulated using fragrance. I suggest an oil burner evaporating diluted fragrant oil be used for this purpose, but any type of incense, oil or potpourri method can also be used. Fresh flowers can also be used for this. For specific healing effects on the physical body, I suggest reading up on aromatherapy and using recommended fragrances given by experts in this field. Scent Stimulation Method:·        Repeat nasal stimulation exercise, as given earlier. ·        Hold a scented cloth, flower or potpourri (whatever) to your nose, or have an oil burner nearby, and breathe in slowly. Close your eyes and concentrate on the smell and texture of the scent. Feel the leading edge of this scented air entering your nose. Feel the texture and body of this scent penetrating deeply as lungs fill. Again, follow only the leading edge of the scent as it fills you. ·        Combine awareness of fragrance with energy breathing, as above. As you breathe in, not only feel the energy and imagine the colour, but consciously smell and feel the texture of the fragrance being used entering your body. Good health is not a requirement for the NEW system and energetic development. Ill health, however, indicates widespread energy blockages and low vitality stores in the Sub-Navel storage center. These problems should be addressed through daily energy raising exercises. For a seriously ill person this may be a matter of some urgency. In this case, I recommend the full body circuit, plus the extra breathing exercises, be practiced many times a day until they become habitual. With a little practice it takes only a small part of the mind to do this. It will soon begin to work virtually automatically in the background as you go about your daily life. The longer and more often energy is raised and stored, the more health benefits there are to be gained from it. Energy & The Immune Sy In many ways the bio-energetic aspect of the energy body can be likened to a perfect energy reflection of the physical body. Parts of the energy body can also be likened to many of its biological functions. The bio-energy circulatory system, for example, contains arteries (large energy conduits) and veins (smaller energy pathways). Like its physical counterpart, parts of the energy body can become dysfunctional if energy flow (blood) becomes blocked or reduced. The bio-energy aspect of the energy body is not just a mere reflection of internal life processes, it also has a profound effect on them. If parts of the energy body become blocked or damaged the stage is set for disease to manifest within the physical body. Clearing energy blockages can therefore be thought of as being good preventative medicine. Blood is the mirror image of life energy and has many of the same functions and properties. It takes energy and healing elements into, through and around the physical body. It also expels waste products (waste energies) and fights disease. Its energy counterpart can be greatly strengthened and blockages cleared so energy flow is increased to higher than normal levels. Increased energetic flow greatly empowers the body's self-healing intelligence, the incredible immune system, giving it more energy to fight disease with. Disease - General: Tests on myself and many of my volunteers have shown that an increased flow of energy into the physical body boosts the immune system; sometimes quite dramatically. This enables the body's natural self-healing mechanisms to work more powerfully and effectively. The most striking example of this boosting effect, as mentioned earlier, can be experienced when a cold, flu or virus is caught. If the full body circuit is done immediately, the symptoms will often vanish within an hour or so; or at the very least be significantly reduced. The immune system, when energy boosted in this way, seems perfectly capable of throwing off or reducing the severity and effects of any infection or virus. Disease & The Energy Body: The actual site of any disease symptoms may have very little to do with its bioenergetic cause. The part of the energy body that is damaged and/or malfunctioning may be remote from the actual site of pain and/or disease symptoms it is causing or contributing to. This is particularly so with diseases like diabetes, which is usually caused by a disease-damaged or malfunctioning pancreas. Juvenile diabetes is actually classed as an immune system disorder; according to the latest scientific studies, that is. Every organ in the physical body receives minute bio-electrical messages from the brain through a complex network of interconnecting nerves (and nerves are related to energy pathways). These messages tell the physical organs how to function: what to make, how much, and what not to make, i.e., the correct quantity of insulin to keep the body healthy and alive. The bio-energy aspect of the physical body works in-line with these processes and effects them considerably. It is therefore reasonable to suggest here that if any of the bio-energy pathways within the energy body become blocked or damaged, that these messages could become garbled and/or blocked. The continuing good health of the physical body can thus be energetically thwarted and disease conditions allowed to manifest and thrive. Blocked toes, fingers and dead areas on the soles of feet and palms of hands, for example, can have a great effect on the functionality of the major organs of the physical body. The particular energy needs of major organs often flow into the body through seemingly small and unimportant parts of the feet and hands. If you examine acupuncture and reflexology charts, you will see many precedents that support this theory. These small energy pathways have been charted and used by Eastern medicine to assist with healing for many centuries. Examples: Sea and motion-sickness are commonly treated by wearing a little strap, with a small ball or two set in it, on the wrist. These balls are regularly rubbed and/or pressed into the inner wrist to alleviate whole body nausea. These small devices are quite effective and hence are available from most chemists today; even though there is no scientific explanation available as to how they work. Smoking and other addictions are also successfully treated with acupuncture by placing a small needle device in a part of the ear. While this does not work in all cases, overall it shows consistently beneficial results. I personally know several previously-heavy smokers that completely lost their urge to smoke the instant this device was attached. And when it was removed the urge to smoke returned; until of course, enough time had passed for the chemical addiction to fade. So what does all this tell us? It provides us with repeatable evidence that small and seemingly unrelated parts of the physical body, i.e., earlobes, can have major effects upon the biochemical and bioelectrical processes of the whole physical body and its internal organs. It can help, if you are suffering a serious disease, to check acupuncture and reflexology charts to find the exact energy pathways (meridians) that provide energy to any diseased or malfunctioning organs you might have. Trace these pathways along the skin of your body (draw them in ink as a reminder if you like) and consciously draw (or bounce) energy back and forth along these pathways. While doing this pay particular attention to any energy blockages or damaged areas encountered along the way. These blockages may be involved with the cause or continuance of the disease condition. I have not at the time of writing this tutorial gathered enough data on NEW system results to be able to realistically forecast any effects the NEW system might have on any specific disease condition, so can only speculate here. But theoretically, the NEW system should be beneficial to any disease condition that can be helped by a revitalized and boosted immune system. I will update this tutorial with more data on this as it comes to hand, in future editions. And by the time the full book version of this tutorial is published I expect to have several well-documented case histories to present in it. ·        If you have a serious health problem of any kind and decide to use the NEW system to compliment your current medical treatment, I would greatly appreciate it if you kept a diary of your progress. If your condition improves, I would very much welcome a copy of this diary, plus any medical records and reports you can furnish me with. If shipping these to me (in Australia) is a problem, please contact me via email first to discuss the matter. See my web site at www.astraldynamics.com for instructions on how to contact me. ·        With all the techniques in this tutorial, please do not use them as a panacea or cure-all to treat yourself, and please see a medical doctor if you are sick. Disease - Serious: Stress, pollution, fatigue, physical unfitness, plus exposure to many different types of electromagnetic fields we live amongst, all take their toll. These can have a cumulative negative effect upon the delicate inner workings of the energy body, which can reduce the natural flow of life energies into and through the energy body. The negative aspects of our modern environment, I believe, tend to reduce the body's ability to raise and store energy naturally, by causing energy blockages, narrowing energy conduits and damaging bioenergetic structures. Our Western lifestyle seems anathema to strong, natural energy flow and correspondingly to good health for all. It is my observation that persons suffering from serious diseases like cancer and AIDS have widespread major energy blockages, and a correspondingly reduced flow of life giving energy into their bodies. These blockages can become quite extreme in the latter stages of any terminal illness. The more advanced the disease condition is, the more severe will be the energy blockages. I have observed total energy blockage in the hands, arms, legs and feet of people in the advanced stages of cancer. Whether energy blockages are the actual causative factor with any serious disease may be scientifically debatable, but they do appear related. Energy blockages may be a natural side-effect, a symptom of the disease. The big question is of course: which comes first, the chicken or the egg - the energy blockages or the disease? It is reasonable to suggest, though, that a reduced flow of energy into and through the physical body may be directly related to many disease conditions. If energy blockages are cleared and a stronger flow of life giving energy restored, which will naturally boost the immune system, any disease condition should, theoretically, show improvement. And my research strongly supports this theory. Getting Serious About Energy Raising: I suggest that seriously ill persons want to give the NEW alternative a fair go, they get serious about energy raising. Ideally they should spend as much time as possible per day raising and storing energy. The full body circuit should be used extensively, plus all the other energy raising and storing ways given within this tutorial. There is NO limit to how much energy can or should be raised. The more energy raised and stored, the more energy the physical body has to defend and heal itself with. The energy breathing exercises in particular should be done as often as possible, especially in high energy areas, until this becomes a habitual part of breathing. A watch alarm can be set to beep every half-hour or so during the daytime. One of the energy raising methods can be used to raise energy for a few minutes every time it beeps. Another way to remind yourself to raise energy is to get into the habit of doing it whenever you are watching TV, say whenever advertising appears. With a little practice energy raising can be done with the eyes open, even while watching TV, or while walking and talking. It only takes a small part of the mind and awareness to keep energy raising awareness actions moving. Tumors and Dysfunctional Organs: For tumors and diseased organs, I also suggest energy be taken to the site of the problem and fed directly into the tumor or diseased organ itself. The etheric wrap technique, modified to suit, can be used for this purpose. Awareness Hands can also be taken inside the body and used to massage the diseased organ or tumor directly. They can also be used to sponge energy up to and into the affected area. This type of treatment will cause energy to flow directly into and through that area of the body, as well as helping to remove energy blockages in surrounding areas, which will also help. These alternate techniques should not, however, be used to replace the full body circuit, which is the mainstay of the whole NEW system. Please note that if energy is raised and fed into a tumor, it will not cause that tumor to grow. It will instead empower the physical body to dissolve and absorb that tumor. Perpetual Energy Raising: Energy raising can become a habitual and continual action, much like breathing. It can take some time before it becomes habitual, but is well worth the effort. In its simplest form this only requires a small part of body awareness be held within the Sub-Navel at all times. The best way to learn this is to start doing it, and to do it as often as possible. Simply focus a part of your awareness in your Sub-Navel every time you think of energy, health or development. A psychological trigger can also be used to encourage this. For example, every time you see an advertisement of any kind, or a TV commercial, flick your awareness into your Sub-Navel. Every time you do this, try and hold it there for as long as you can, in the back of your mind, while you go about your day to day life. Another simple trigger is an alarm watch set to beep once every half-hour or so, to remind you to raise energy regularly. Diabetes: Volunteers with diabetes have had great success using the NEW system to help their condition. I will make medical documentation available in the full book version of this tutorial when it is published. One lady volunteer suffering from type #1. juvenile diabetes of 26 years duration, with a total non-functional pancreas and full insulin dependency, was able to reduce her insulin dosage by 85% in three months using the NEW system twice daily, thirty-minutes per session. Her blood sugar levels began changing a few days after beginning her work with the NEW system, and progressively improved until her pancreas returned to almost full functionality; so far. Of note, this lady's body weight began dropping steadily since starting the NEW system; with no change in diet or exercise. Detailed medical records of this case will be made available in the full book version of this tutorial; plus a full report on these changes by her diabetes specialist. For any serious disease, apart from regular feet and leg stimulation, the full body circuit should be done for a recommended thirty minutes each sessions, twice per day. A diabetic should also use a deep, side to side brushing action on their pancreas (solar plexus area below the ribs) for several minutes each session. A close check must be kept on blood sugar levels at all times, as insulin requirements may change without notice. And any reduction of insulin dosage should only be done under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor or diabetes specialist. Cancer: The only volunteer I have worked with long enough to give feedback on has been my own mother, currently 76 years old. She has been religiously using the NEW system for three years now. History: five years ago she was diagnosed with lymphoma, and with a malignant tumor on a kidney. The kidney was removed and she underwent chemotherapy. At this time I gave my mother regular contact healing and she survived, but she did not want to use the NEW system at this time. However, three and a half years ago (at the time of writing this tutorial) she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Her oncologist wanted to urgently remove one of her lungs and booked her in to hospital to have the operation a week later. But given her age and health, and the fact she is a long-term smoker, he said her chances were quite low of surviving the operation. With this type of tumor, apparently, chemotherapy was not an option. This frightened her so much she agreed to put her life on the line, to refuse surgery and put all her trust and strength and effort into using the NEW system alternative. A truly brave and trusting woman my mom; also my best friend. However, it did not take her long to learn the NEW system. She was amazed by the sensations she experienced while learning it, and this spurred her on to even greater efforts. Her health has slowly but steadily improved since that time and the tumor in her lung has not grown or spread. Of note, my mother still smokes a pack of cigarettes and drinks a bottle of red wine per day. Her arthritis has also improved greatly, she walks better (now further and more often) and has put on some much-needed weight. She has also successfully treated (with the Etheric Wrap technique) a badly sprained knee, sprained ankle, spinal pain, and various other injuries; completely recovering from each injury or problem within a week or two at most; which is phenomenal for a woman her age. She now uses the NEW system for every pain or health problem she gets and absolutely swears by it. Her oncologist almost fell off his chair when she visited him for a checkup two years after being diagnosed with lung cancer. To quote him "My dear lady, I thought you were dead!" was his amazed greeting. He could give her no explanation as to why the tumor had stopped growing, but requested regular three-monthly visits to keep a check on her progress. Also of note, mum's mental faculties and memory have also greatly improved. Like when she was much younger, she can now do The Times and LB cryptic crosswords in under an hour (less on a good day) without using a dictionary, which she claims is cheating. I am not saying everyone using the NEW system will have the same results as my mother. But it is reasonable to suggest, faced with the evidence I have before me, that the NEW system may be beneficial to good health in cases like this. Lets face it, apart from medical treatment, when you have cancer the only thing your body has going for it is its immune system. And if you can boost the immune system the physical body can often accomplish wonders under its own steam. Once again, please do not use the NEW system as cure-all or panacea, and please do not hesitate to consult a qualified medical doctor if you are sick. However, if you are faced with no viable medical treatment or alternatives, you now have a NEW alternative to consider. Other Diseases: Unfortunately, as I said earlier, I have not yet had the opportunity to test the NEW system with people suffering from a wider variety of serious diseases. This tutorial will be updated as soon as information comes to hand and a addendum's will be placed on my web site at: www.astraldynamics.com I have not had the opportunity to work with aids patients thus far, so at this time have no data at all on the response of this condition to the NEW system. But it is my considered opinion that any disease that can benefit from a boosted immune system will show significant improvement. Energy Raising During Sleep: Myself, plus many other volunteers, have noticed a peculiar phenomenon that boosts the NEW system and consequentially the healing ability of the physical body. This only seems to happen when you fall asleep while strongly raising energy. In the morning, more often than not, the physical pain you went to sleep with will either be gone or significantly healed. I believe falling asleep while raising energy causes the energy raising action to carry over into the sleep state. And as the sleep state itself causes a naturally increased energy flow, it is reasonable to suggest this combination may promote stronger natural healing of the physical body during sleep than would otherwise be possible. Some of these cases may seem like miracle cures, and this does not always happen, but cases like this are not that unusual. Two examples: 1.        One woman volunteer, a veterinary worker with long-term juvenile diabetes, was savaged by a feral cat. The cat's tooth passed completely through her finger and pierced her fingernail from beneath. She also had several other nasty lacerations on the same hand. She sought immediate medical attention and had her wounds cleaned and bound. Within three days, however, a serious infection took hold, causing swelling, redness and serious pain. Her doctor gave her injections of penicillin and warned her, because she was a diabetic, that the healing process would be very slow (diabetics typically have only 1/4 normal healing capacity) and that she might lose her finger; and to be prepared. Desperate and in terrible pain (on my advice) this woman spent the entire evening raising energy and treating her injured hand with NEW techniques. She fell asleep while doing these. The next morning she awoke with no pain, no swelling and no infection. Her wounds had closed over and were covered with a very light layer of pink scar tissue; not scab tissue as one might expect. Now this level of healing is, medically speaking, quite impossible even for a normal healthy person; but it happened. This woman's doctor was totally flabbergasted and could not even begin to explain how this had happened. Her wounds continued to heal normally with no recurrence of infection. 2.        Another woman volunteer, aged pensioner aged 75 years: At the start of one rainy season this woman was so badly crippled by arthritis she could not walk or do anything. She told me she felt so bad she just wanted to die and never wake up. On my advice she spent the entire evening raising energy, nothing elaborate, and fell asleep doing this. She woke up the next morning with no pain or disability whatsoever. She got up, had breakfast, cleaned her house and took her dog for a walk before she remembered how sick she had been the night before, and realized what had happened. So far this lady's arthritis has not returned and its been two years so far. Needless to say this lady now practices the NEW system daily. Recommended Daily Regimes: The following regimes cover most energy requirements. They start with minimal exercises for general development and good health, progressing to more intense workouts for those undertaking serious development work, and for those with serious illnesses. 1. Stage One: Start by brushing feet and hands for several seconds each, preferably in pairs. Bounce legs and then arms, again preferably in pairs. Then bounce spine from coccyx to head for several seconds or more. Then use the two part breathing circuit: Half a dozen or more energy raising breaths should suffice for each part. This is recommended as being done three times per day, with each session taking two or three minutes. The absolute minimum is one session per day, done before falling asleep. As previously stated, falling asleep while raising energy causes a carry-over of energy raising actions into the sleep state, which is highly beneficial. 2. Stage Two: Same as stage one above, but more time should be spent on each part. Either continue the two part breathing circuit for several minutes, and/or use the full body circuit. Particular attention should be paid to any problem areas, known energy blockages or diseased areas. This should be done twice a day, morning and night. Travel and waiting time should also be taken advantage of for energy raising. 3. Stage Three: Same as stage two, above, but morning and night sessions should be continued for thirty minutes each. If privacy is a problem, this can be done in the bathroom. When treating any serious disease, the disease site or organ should be identified and treated with suitable brushing actions. A book on anatomy should be consulted to identify the exact positions of internal organs. 4. Stage Four: Similar to stage two, above, but with four or five sessions being done per day, instead of two. All available travel and waiting time should be used for raising energy. Perpetual energy raising should also be nurtured, with energy being raised at every available opportunity. Falling asleep while raising energy should be attempted every night, and with every nap taken during the day. This regime should only be used for treating serious disease, and not for normal development purposes. This level of energy raising, while beneficial to any disease condition, may be counterproductive to overall energy development if too much effort is use with awareness actions. A Few Last WordsRobert BruceEnergetic development offers enormous rewards if practiced regularly over the long term. These rewards are by way of improved physical health and vitality levels, as well as through enhanced bioenergy and the perception of energy. Psychic abilities, you will find, are a natural side-effect of long-term bio-energetic development. Long term, by the way, does not mean quite the same thing as it used to with more obtuse visualization-based development systems - not when you are using the NEW Energy Ways System. Noticeable progress will usually be attained fairly rapidly, given that the NEW system not only works directly on the energy body, but that it also teaches you how to manually use it to gather and use energy, i.e., raising energy to primary energy centres and forcibly stimulating them into activity.The length of time it takes to develop any kind of ability is extremely variable. It depends greatly upon the original state of the energy body in question, and on its natural energetic potential. Many people will find some type and level of psychic ability will begin to manifest almost immediately, while others will be slower to realize their potential in this respect. In all cases, though, NEW energetic development will be significantly faster than what is considered normal today. The complete NEW system, including primary center work, if diligently and regularly applied, is incredibly effective and speeds development significantly. This helps to keep interest high and turns the improbable into the probable, and the possible into the very likely in the near future.(See Astral Dynamics for primary center tutorial) This brings us to the end of The NEW Energy Ways tutorial. I'd like to thank you for reading my book and hope you have not only gained something valuable from it, but have also enjoyed reading it. I work very hard to make my tutorials reader-friendly. To learn more of the core skills required for further bioenergetic development, i.e., deep physical relaxation, taming the mind, the trance state, understanding and working with primary energy centres, see Astral Dynamics. More than just another book on OBE, Astral Dynamics can be thought of as being a complete course in metaphysical development. I plan to steadily add to the number of books, tutorials, and booklets I have available at present, energy and interdimensional weather permitting. Check my web site, at www.astraldynamics.com, for updates, addendum's and availability of new material. You will find a lot of interesting material and links on my web site, free for online reading or downloading, and more coming all the time.
