Accumulate spiritual energy for higher self manifestation

Accumulate Spiritual Energy for Higher Self Manifestation by Enoch Tan Accumulate Spiritual Energy for Higher Self Manifestation “Vital force of mana must be provided by the lower man for the use of the Higher to whom he prayed, so that the High Self would have sufficient earthy force to affect the dense and earthy level of life. Prayer is not a “thinking”. It is a combination of thinking and a gesture or actual physical movement of the low self in the body – creation of mana and a giving of it. The middle self or “conscious mind” is able to control the low self or “subconscious mind” only if there is a sufficient charge of mana or vital force in the aka or body to allow the middle self to get enough of it to use as “will.” The accumulation of a surcharge of mana and the sending of part of it to the High Self as we make thought-forms by praying appears to be automatic only when the low self is moved by great emotion. At other times we must take the needed steps ourselves. The High Selves need the vital force which we can supply that we must give it to them if they are able to be easily able to do the many things that affect this lower level of life and help us. It is a verification of the findings made in our study of the kahuna’s word for altar, sacrifice and worship. It is also necessary to invite the return flow of mana-mana raised to the High-Self level of power and purity which can heal and bless. The kahuna’s asked: “Let the rain of blessings fall.” We must do the same. It seems to be a part of the act of opening the door to the help of the Aumakuas so we may have the aid they are forbidden to give unless their presence is recognized and their aid requested. One may also visualize the mana rising as in a fountain in the body, fountaining above to the Aumakua and returning to you as water to the fountain bowl. This established a complete circuit and one can then pray or treat for a long period of time without being depleted. Sleep is the natural reaction to a lack of mana. However if one successfully establishes a circular or up-and-back flow of mana, with the Aumakuas, and is careful to ask for the return flow as in the worlds, “Let the rain of blessings fall,” the mana, as the pure water-mana of “Rain” will not only be returned but will be watched for by the low self and accepted.” “We should invent a physical ritual so definite that to perform it would take all the concentration of the low self – and thus prevent it from going aimlessly through the action with you while its mind, in its behind-the-scenes department, is really engaged with something entirely different. Preliminary fasting, with sincere efforts to make amends for hurts done others, or to make general amends for lacks and faults – all these are part of the gesture we make to arrive at the beginning of the successful prayer. I know of no way to convince the stubbornly literal low self that it and its man deserves an answer to prayer except by the performance of physical acts – the use of the acts as a physical stimulus. Remember, “Faith without works….” Some printed meditations and ritualized prayers may be very useful. But the PERFECT ritual will be the one that each person works out for himself – for the particular purpose of a specific prayer-action.” “Where love and strong emotional desire is not felt when a prayer is made, one may be sure that the low self is not doing its part, and that the prayer will be ineffective. The basic idea of sacrifice in huna has been worked out through a study of the roots and word-symbols of words used by the kahunas (Hawaiian). Mo-hai or just hai, means “to sacrifice.” Hai gives the meaning of “to break,” and suggests the breaking in two of a thing so that half of it can be used as a sacrifice. Jesus “took bread and broke it” in the coded mystery of the “Last Supper” and his blessing and passing of the wine takes us back to the pouring of an offering or “oblation” to the gods, so common in olden days, but having behind it the great Huna mystery of “dividing the waters” that is, sharing the water or mana with the High Self. The compound word mo-hai-hoo-mana means “To sacrifice by making mana.” The symbol word idea of “to make mana” is code for accumulating a good surcharge of mana and sending it to the High Self. Hoo-mana also means “to worship.” The word for “faith” in the sacred language is mana-a-io. Its first meaning is “to believe” but in the literal meanings as seen in the roots is: (1) “To use a surcharge of mana” (root mana plus root jo, the latter meaning “excess” of mana.) (2) “To call for a thing desired,” and “to reach out or extend, as the hand to touch something.” This shows that one must reach out along the aka cord to “touch” the High Self in order to ask for the thing desired. (All from the root o.) (3) “To be real” or, with causative hoo, “to cause to become real.” (Root io.) “Faith, if it hath not works, is dead,” becomes clear when we know that the “works” part includes the sending of the mana surcharge to the High Self as part of the overall work of having the prayer made into a reality.” - Mana or Vital Force by Freedom Leong Print Friendly Post to Facebook 424242424242424242 Post to Twitter 111111111 Add to LinkedIn Post to StumbleUpon Add to Reddit Post to Delicious Post to Digg Inspire others by sharing the link to this page on websites, Facebook or email!

How Qi gong work

About Movement Arts Code of Practice 5 Pillars of Practice Who Trains with Me Get Moving Recommended Products Videos Inner Form Coaching About Member Login Forum Contact by Dan on July 25, 2011 How Does Qigong Work? In class the other day, a student asked me what kind of chi gung (qigong) we study. She said a friend of hers had been learning a different form and they wanted to compare notes. This is always an interesting conversation, because the term “qigong” covers a lot of different forms of exercise. Literally, it means “energy development” or “energy cultivation”. The chief aim of any qigong practice is to develop your natural energy levels, making your energy, or chi, smoother, increasing your capacity to move it through your system or using it for specific applications, like martial arts or meditation. When you compare different qigong sets, you’ll find different models for understanding your body’s energy behind each one. Some sets look at the “five elements” — a theory applied to things that come in phases like the changing seasons. Other sets used the acupuncture meridian model of the body, so they are designed to activate these lines through light touch, rubbing, patting, off-body stimulation, or even imagery. Still others focus on activating the different tissues of the body through movements, big and small, and as the mind moves through the physical body, the chi starts to flow in particular patterns. I teach this last method, so I’m going to explain how qigong works from that point of view. First, though, you need to understand what we mean when we use the term “energy”. What We Mean When We Say Energy You probably use the word “energy” all the time to describe things that are not far out and esoteric. You have a much more intuitive sense of your own body energy than you might realize. For starters, just think of what “energy” meant at different times in you life. When you were a baby, life was a cycle of eating, sleeping, pooping, and laughing. If you spend time around a newborn, you can clearly see the peaks and valleys of energy and rest. That’s what we’re talking about when we say energy. What’s the quality of the energy that you need for your daily adult responsibilities? If adolescence was all about shaking up a soda can and watching it burst with crazy kid energy, as an adult, you need to let that fizz out slowly. Adult work life, with long hours, 24/7 electronic stimulation, and complex relationships, requires a steady, even flow of energy that you can draw on consistently and deep reserves for when you need to push. How do you know if you have that kind of chi? And if you don’t have it, how do you get it? First, you have to recognize energetic patterns in your daily life. Patterns and Cycles Starting to detect energetic patterns and cycles in your life can sound esoteric, but it’s not. In the West it’s common to think that energy talk sounds woo-woo and new-agey. In The Expressiveness of the Body and the Divergence of Greek and Chinese Medicine, Shigehisa Kuriyama explains why, as a culture, it’s hard for us to accept the Eastern view of the body and energy. Kuriyama traces two medical traditions back to their roots, trying to get at why they went in such different directions. Guess what a cornerstone of Kuriyama’s argument is: dissection in the West and no dissection in the East put the two traditions on different paths. Think about that. If you cut away skin, and you see muscle and bone, won’t you start thinking about pulleys and levers and start developing mechanical stories about how the body works? On the other hand, if you couldn’t cut away the layers, how you would begin to sense what was going on under the surface? What models and stories would you develop that captured the global patterns you observed? This is the central issue that separates an analytic, reductionist approach from an intuitive, pattern-based approach. From that point of view, qigong is an internal exploration of intrinsic patterns and cycles, so you need to take an empirical approach and make some observations about your daily energy flows. Sleep: How easy is it for you to go to bed at night or wake up in the morning? What’s your wake/rest transition speed? Illness: How quickly do you recovery from a cold or the flu? Food: Observe your eating/digestion/elimination cycle. Does “food coma” kick in every time you eat? When was the last time you had a good bowel movement? I’m not kidding! This is a key piece of information for taking stock of your energy levels. Work: Think about weekly and even yearly cycles of work and rest or vacation. Do you recharge with two days off? Do a couple of weeks a year give you the juice to complete your annual workflow? I’m sure you sense patterns, annual, quarterly, on a project basis, in your professional field. Why not develop the same sense of flow for your own personal energy levels? Qigong Enhances Natural Restorative Cycles When you learn qigong, you start moving in prescribed patterns: The circularity and repetition allows you to move deeply into the body in a relaxed way. You start to feel things like soft tissue turning and joints opening and closing. The better your physical rhythms get, the smoother your chi gets, and the more your mind relaxes. This is how qigong works on your body, energy, and mind. There is wide range of qigong exercises, though. Sometimes, the best practice is to do nothing at all and just stand still: Here, instead of moving the body to slow down the mind, you hold the body still and move the mind through it. It’s crucial to make this a felt experience. You don’t want to dissociate and go somewhere else mentally. You “run your mind through your body” and find all kinds of internal space. In both cases, the goal is the same, even though the approach is different: learn to feel the natural flows inside the body, and by feeling, enhance them. When you make these flows strong, the benefits of qigong kick in.
