Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Greetings Chrism, Everyone, Thank you for thoughts on this. I think that is the simplest way lay people can understand this information sometimes? - KISS - keep it simple silly..Of course the concepts goes much much deeper than what was in the original posting. > @@ Odic and actinic energy. This is a bit vague or perhaps he feels > that all must know what these labels refer to. Yes could be since the lessons are all connected building knowledge. I do like Lesson 211 and 212 as well. The Himalayan Academy is wealth of wisdom. The Gurudeva link on the previous post is from the newsletter that is sent from the Academy. I've been receiving their newsletter for years and recommend it if anyone is interested. Love and Light, StarStuffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Kauai Aadheenam is doing a great job . I learnt a lot from reading " Merging with Siva " . It's a treasure . I had plans to join them ..but didn't due to some reasons. , " chrism " <> wrote: > > Each chakra is a spinning vortex of mind power, > > @@ Mind power. This isnt quite accurate.

Say aloud, " Jaya > Ganesha! Anbe Sivamayam, Satyame Parasivam. " Then, to move the vital > health body into action, stretch out the fingers of both hands so > that the palms are flat, then close the fingers into the heel of the > palms pressing with a firm pressure, and scrape the fingertips up > the palm of the hand until the fingers are again extended straight. > Do this several times with a firm, even pressure. This stimulates > the vital pranic body and the subtle nerves. 2) Again extend the > fingers of both hands out straight. Slowly move first the little > finger in toward the palm of the hand, followed by the next and the > next, making a fanlike motion until all the fingers are again > parallel and pressing into the heel of the palms. Again scrape the > fingers up across the palm of the hand and extend them. Each finger > is connected to vital nerves which govern one of the organs of the > body. Through stimulating the movement of the hand, you are actually > organizing and awakening the odic forces in the entire body. 3) The > next exercise is also done before you get out of bed. Clasp the > hands behind the neck and with knees straight and toes pointed, > raise the body, touching the right elbow to the left knee. Lower the > body slowly to the prone position, then raise again and touch the > left elbow to the right knee. Practice this each morning, to > strengthen the abdominal muscles and stimulate visceral activity, > until you can do sixteen to twenty repetitions with ease. 4) Next > clasp the hands behind the back of the neck, lifting the head up six > or eight inches, pulling the elbows down toward the chest. 5) Next, > rotate the ankles around and around. Do this eight or ten times, > then point the toes down, pull them back, down and back. These > exercises will contribute to moving the vital health body into > action. They bring vital health odic force and prana into the > muscles, the bloodstream and the vital nerve currents of the body. > This entire series of exercises should take about five minutes, > after which time you should feel like jumping out of bed and facing > an actinic day. This series of exercises immediately breaks up the > astral congested, instinctive odic forces of the muladhara that may > have accumulated during sleep, flushing the vital fluids into the > circulatory system and on into the muscular structure. A strong, > healthy body is an emblem of a stable, well-balanced conscious and > subconscious mind. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
