strengthening the energy body

[Guest guest]

Channel building and the cross of fire

 

Whether you are doing energy work for healing or any other work on self

transformation It is

possible to greatly increase the ability to work with and carry higher

vibrations of spiritual life

forces by doing various exercises and procedures to strengthen your energy body

in order to

build up and expand your abliity to channel, carry and maintain a store of the

energy known as

Chi, Mana ,Prana or Ki among many other names.These words all refer to the

energy of life

though they may include different aspects of the energies in their root

concepts. There

are many ways to strengten your abilit to carry chi. Tai Chi, Chi gong, Yoga,

and dance are a

few of the physical ones. Meditation, chanting and toning ,The Microcosmic orbit

numerous

Grounding, centering and aura filling exercises are some other ways. It is

always a good idea

to use more than one technique though it is not reasonable to be doing dozens

of such things

at once. A balance of physical and mental, emotional, spiritual techniques is

more likely to

produce great and balanced results than putting all our energetic eggs in one

basket.When

you have built up chi you will want to be sure that you can use it in a

benificial way .

Sometimes we allow our chi to leak away. Practices like channel building can

help you to

maintain and increase your ability to stay in harmony

 

Channel Building

 

This is a Powerful exercise to help you become

aware of your

transpersonal chakras and helps many to be able to use healing energies more

effectively

without having pain or discomfort in your hands when doing healing energy

work. Becoming

aware of your Soulstar and Earthstar also greatly facilitates spiritual

evolution and makes

communication between yourself , Your higher self and your angels and Guides

easier .It also

can greatly reduce any difficulties with lower astral thought forms and

entities

This Channel building process Or Triangluation can be done once or twice a day.

It will not

be more effective if done more often than that. Do not add other Chakras to

those on this list

for this process. When I was taught this technique I was given heavy duty

warnings about over

using or altering it in any way. I am not into warnings myself but I mention it

here as an

advisory. Most of the work I do and reccomend has built in safety but I have

been told that it

is possible to overcharge your energy field by overusing or abusing this

technique I have not

expermented to determine if this is so or not.

 

 

The Actual Procedure

Start by standing or laying down, spine straight intend that the highest energy

you have access

to run, as you do this process but do not actively run it.

 

Recite the following Mantra to yourself as though you are the Soul.

 

I am the Soul

 

I am the Light Divine

 

I am Love

 

I am will

 

I am expanding design.

 

The Soul Star Chakra is about 6 inches to a foot and half above your head

your Solar angel

sends most though not all energy and information through the Soulstar to you.

visualize a

glowing ball of light , now bring that ball of light down and out to brow

level in through your

brow to your spine central channel and back up to it's original location. repeat

for a total of

three times in a triangle shape in each location. repeat at the throat , the

heart, the Solar

plexus , sacral ,root, knees, ankles and at the Earth Star the chakra 6 inches

to a foot and a

half below your feet Some People Suggest that one only go to the solar plexus

the first three

days and add a new chakra every three days and some start with the whole

process right off.

It is important when you start working with the Soulstar that you also begin

to work with the

Earthstar. so remember to do the entire procedure .

 

Other procdures which promote channel building and strengthen the energy

body and

spiritual connection include the Rainbow disk meditation found in the rainbow

file,

The Hatsurei-Ho and Reiju practices of Usui Reiki practitcioners

The cross of Fire from Huna, antakarana meditations,The Microcosmic orbit and

yogic

practices Drawing down the moon and simular practices, As well as a multitude

of other

methods can also assist with channel building.

 

THE CROSS OF FIRE

 

The cross of fire is familiar to most of us as a common decorative motif in

Hawaiian art and

craft, four crosses around a central cross. The crosses around the outside

symbolize the

highest of the energies of the four elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, the cross

in the center is

Spirit.

This fairly simple symbol contains hidden and revealed layers upon layers of

the teachings at

the center of Huna . The Energies and information symbolized by this figure

represent aguide

to Understanding the Universe and humanity's part in it. The cross of Fire is

central to the

Huna philosophy of life and to the huna system of Self empowerment and creation

That it

might be considered to be at the core of HunaTeachings. I will begin the

explanation at the

entry levels . the Chakra system is familiar to many Metaphysical and

complementery health

practitioners. The chakra are by no means the only energy centers.

 

Huna is aware of many others including the AO different schools of Kahuna

teachings do give different energy centers and priorities . I will repeat the

caution I

was given by my teachers that if you do the Cross of fire procedure you do it

as given and

do not experiment with the various energy channels unless you are clearly

guided to

do so by your Aumakua your Huna Spiritual guides and /or ancestors.

 

The exercise is to go around the cross focusing on each Ao energy center for

about a minute

each, start at the crown and to go around in the order given but after doing

the left eye to go

up to the crown a second time back to the left eye to the right eye and from

there to the heart

chakra.

The energy centers of the Cross of Fire : 1. crown 2. right eye 3. right

shoulder 4. right hip

5. perineum 6. l left hip 7. left shoulder 8. left eye 9. crown 10. left eye 11.

right eye 12.

heart

 

Focus on each ao in turn . Some Huna traditions may do a simple spiral others

simply

focus on the crown, heart, perineum and the four corners of shoulders and hips .

You may feel energy run as you do this or you may not.just continue the cross

of fire .

The opening of these energy centers can lead to profound transformation and

evolution at all

levels of your being.

The traditional Huna way of working with the cross of fire is to First, teach

a procedure

and only to explain it after considerable work has been done. Some Huna

traditions do use

energetic attunements or spiritual initiations to facilitate and amplify the

affects of these and

other practices. The procedure can be done without these attunements .

Doing the cross of fire prodedure regularly (once or twice as day is suggested)

is a

prerequisite for attunement to some profoundly transforming energies and to

learning several

valuable huna energy work procedures. . Doing the exercise given above will

also help to

open these centers and channels .

 

THE AO

 

While many of us are familiar with the chakra centers that run along our

central core at the

spinal cord few of us are even aware of the Ao, these energy centers are said to

be among the

most important of the lost information about the energy body , these centers are

said to create

and hold the chakra in existence through the tension , interaction and harmony

between the

centers and to be a representation of a core or primal aspect of ourselves and

the universe .

The Yin Yang symbol used in the East represents in part the universe held

together

by the interaction of different polarities the cross of fire represents the

grand design

of the universes as an interaction of the nine centers or realms of

being/Force, the Ao.

 

The Ao centers are located at

1. the crown: top of head - will, divine will , our own personal will and to

the guiding force

present in all matter, intention.

 

2. right eye: center of eye socket- time, time in the abstract, timing or

sequence of action,

timelessness, real time ,the illusion of time .

 

3. right shoulder: about a quarter of an inch into the body go over about 2

inches

toward the arm from the nipple and up about 1 inch below the collar bone

-venturing , beginning new actions, entering new realms whether physical,

emotional, mental

or spiritual.

 

4. right hip: center of hip socket -Action , usually denotes action in the

middle of the period

or situation being considered and worked with

 

5 .Perineum: ( halfway between the anus and the genitals ) - anchoring ,

This can refer to ending action but more often refers to taking steps to

ensure

that the effects ofones actions are real and lasting ,the effects of an action

of in

nature becoming lasting .

 

6. left hip: center of hip socket - contemplation, Meditation in general,

consideration and

reflection on the actions one has taken

 

7. left shoulder: about a quarter of an inch into the body go over about 2

inches

toward the arm from the nipple and up about 1 inch below the collar bone -

Appreciation , The quality of appreciation in general ,especially appreciation

of the divine, as

well as the appreciation of the results of action taken.

 

8. left eye: center of eye socket - Harmony/Justice Ho-o-ponopono Making

things right,

For beginning purposes refers to divine plan and that human justice should be

a reflection of

the divine plan a profound and difficult to translate concept central to

Hawaiian Mysticism ,I

have seen it translated as family therapy and as divine completeness and

perfection also.

(does not refer to revenge)

 

9.the Heart :THe Heart, Love divine Love, universal love , personal and

interpersonal love

the qualities that give rise to and emerge from love.
