Some Potent Self Actualization / Healing Practices

N.B. At the beginning of 2010 it proved necessary for me to remove from this page the instructions or full descriptions for the whole or part of certain of the methods mentioned below as a temporary pragmatic measure in order not to seriously conflict with particular individuals' actually not soundly based claims of 'intellectual property' upon the particular methods. I did this with considerable reluctance, and only to avoid having a constant stress upon myself caused by those individuals' adverse reactions, because I do not see healing and self actualization methods in the same light as they do, and regard them instead as fundamentally belonging to everyone, never mind who discovered or formulated them - and my clear understanding is that methods are not subject to copyright; only particular descriptions of them could be.

It is my intention wherever possible to find or originate alternative methods that I can describe fully here without conflicts with anyone, or to find precedents that invalidate particular current claims of 'intellectual property' so that I can then describe the particular methods here without further problems.

However, I am in the process now of, bit by bit, restoring or coming up with replacements for details of the 'removed' methods, and am expecting to go further and add additional methods and practices, to enable the whole set presented on this site to become still more effective and comprehensive in assisting people in working towards their own optimal genuine self actualization / self realization.

My current indications are that at a quite early stage I shall even present here a set of practices that people can use instead of the Returning Life Sequence in order to gain all the same benefits, intended for those people who for one reason or another have difficulties over the Returning Life or in obtaining its DVD based instructions. That way I can make that aspect of one's self actualization methodology freely available without coming into any conflicts with the originators of the Returning Life Sequence, and thus people would have a healthy choice of method. My equivalent of the Returning Life would have a different name, again to avoid conflicts, but, as far as I can tell at the moment, would achieve pretty well the same things, and just as effectively.

Introduction - Self actualization practices with a difference!

I give details below of some simple but very potent practices and procedures that will take you forward easily, safely and painlessly in various major aspects of your self healing / self actualization process. Although they are effective as they are, their potency can be greatly enhanced by ongoing use of any or - for greatest effect - ALL of those in the following short list. By the same token, your use of any of the practices given on this page will greatly increase the effectiveness of any of those 'energy' devices, so in other words there is a marked synergy between these energy devices and the practices.

• The Energy Egg (plus its 'variant' versions) and 'Guardian Angel' or the latter's big brother, the 'Archangel' (please see Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way for further details about these). Certain of the practices given below require one or more of these.
• The Returning Life Sequence
• My set of affirmations for self actualization and fundamental healing
• The Alexander Technique, which takes you into a much more balanced and poised physical state, which latter in turn clears various (but not all) energy blocks and emotional issues and makes other self healing / self actualization methods more effective for you. The physical improvements include a much more relaxed, stress free and efficient mode of walking, which greatly enhances Self-Power Walking (see below).

The practices that I describe on this page each carry out a particular range of functions, so none of them is a full alternative to any other, and anyone truly serious about their self actualization would take on ALL of them and use them in an ongoing fashion (as near daily as is practical in the light of the need to maintain balance in one's everyday life). However, I am not playing 'little dictator' here, and would say that any use at all of any of these practices would bring some benefit, so nobody need be put off using them because they feel that the practices would involve too much commitment. You can get some idea of how I myself fitted in all these practices and a good deal more into my daily life, in My Own Self Actualization 'Path' - Part 2 - but I would stress that that is merely an example of extremely effective use of the methods, and is not a stipulation about how anyone else should be going about it.

A note especially for medics and mental healthcare workers

I well understand that to anyone who espouses the materialist-reductionist belief system - including most medics and mental healthcare workers - the following practices will all appear to be nonsensical, because they actually work on the person's non-physical aspects, which such professionals generally do not recognise. Those people would do well to read and 'take on board' the contents of On the Nature of Reality and Truth, in which I show how actually consciousness or awareness itself is the only 'reality' that we can really 'know', and how we can never know of any enduring 'external' reality. When you truly understand that, then you also understand that our hallowed distinction between physical and non-physical is pure illusion and confusion.

Once you've understood that much, then it should come as much less of a shock to the system to find that you can do apparently physical practices that work on invisible, non-physical aspects of ourselves, which in turn, as they become healthier, cause us to become healthier in body as well as 'mind'. That's what all the following practices are about. They are mostly yogic and what you might call 'semi-yogic' practices, but very different from what people widely know as 'Yoga', and some of them are very vigorous.

One thing all these practices (apart from Tonglen Breathing) have in common, unlike what people widely know as 'spiritual healing', is that they are strongly grounding. That is, if they are awarely used they would increase your connection with the physical 'reality', and help you get clear of unhealthy connections (which ALL of us have to some extent, including you) with the astral sub-reality of illusion and delusion, through which operates the dark force, which is involved in ALL so-called mental illness and personality disorder issues. Food for thought for hard pressed medical and mental healthcare workers, who surely want their patients or clients to become more in tune with physical 'reality', in a positive way, and no longer dependent on medication or other harmful treatments!

Breathing techniques to enhance practices

Some practices require or at least are greatly enhanced by what I call power breathing, or, in some cases what I call extra-complete breathing or extended complete breathing. These are both an enhancement of complete breathing, and I now describe them.

Complete breathing

With your spine in good alignment ('straight' but not held rigidly so), you inhale in a steady manner, through your nostrils and with mouth closed, using your intent to direct the breath into your lower abdomen so that you use your diaphragm. As your lungs continue to fill, you then allow the inhalation to expand your chest too. So, each time you inhale, you fill up to your fullest extent from bottom to top, but without forcing anything.

When you exhale, again you do so through your nostrils and with mouth closed, steadily till your lungs feel to be completely empty (actually one's lungs never empty completely), but again without forcing it.

In fact, complete breathing is a quite beneficial practice in itself, especially if the tip of your tongue is simultaneously held against the top/front of the palate (where there are some marked indentations). This can be maintained intermittently while getting on with everyday life - but I caution against trying to use it all the time, for if you do that, what you have effectively done is made the 'practice' an attachment, and thus an obstruction to your self actualization process. It's important anyway not to let the conscious mind interfere all the time with the body's own natural breathing rhythm, for doing that in itself would accumulate stress and energy imbalance.

It is very helpful in this sort of breathing if you maintain part of your awareness on the sensation of the air entering and exiting through your nasal passages and nostrils and indeed your windpipe, lungs and abdomen (though of course it isn't physically entering your abdomen!). This is very helpful through being grounding and helping to minimize mental 'chatter', without your needing to go into full formal meditation sessions.

Power breathing

Power breathing is 'complete breathing' as I've described it above, with one important and extremely empowering difference: you do force it! You force the inhalations and the exhalations - AND you force each a little at the end, so you put a little extra effort in emptying your lungs just that little bit more, though without making a big effort of it. And similarly, when you have filled up as much as you would with standard complete breathing, you take in just that little bit more - again not making a big effort of it. So, at either end you get into only the start of what you could call the 'straining range' - if that makes sense for you! The procedure, then, is vigorous but not overly stressful.

Now, before anyone blows a fuse, muttering things about hyperventilation, and no doubt wrapping this Philip Goddard guy round the nearest lamp post for giving such harmful instructions, let me add the very simple measure that you take to ensure that you still get a sensible level of 'ventilation' in your system without overdoing it. The solution really is extremely simple - you PAUSE between each inhalation / exhalation cycle. I myself find it difficult to pause at the 'full' point, so it comes naturally for me to pause at the 'empty' point. You find out by your own 'feel' and experience just how long to pause between each breathing cycle, and, if you're Self-Power Walking and want to use power breathing (I do it that way and recommend it) you'd find that the length or indeed presence at all of any pauses in the breathing will depend on your speed of walking and the nature of the terrain. Indeed, going up really steep terrain may necessitate cessation of power breathing (or indeed complete breathing) altogether and breathing through your mouth until you're on more level terrain again.

In order to ensure that you don't err into hyperventilation (which is harmful and ungrounding, and is generally indicated by a feeling of light-headedness, faintness or unsteadiness on your feet), it makes sense that the pause between breathing cycles be held till you feel that you need to breathe again. On the other hand, if you start feeling suffocated, then you're overdoing it and need to reduce the pauses a little.

I strongly recommend power breathing to use in any practice where complete breathing is appropriate (i.e. not just the practices described by me here on this site), subject to the indications of their energy testing, for it will increase the potency of the particular practice, whatever it is. However, it is important NOT to use power breathing EXCEPT in specific practices of limited duration, for, like the mudras of Self-Power Walking, it takes up quite a lot of your attention and is in itself somewhat stressful.

Thus power breathing is not a practice in itself, but is a major enhancement of those practices in which it can fit. It conveys two broad types of enhancement to any practice:

• It intensifies the 'energy' processes brought about by the particular practice;
• It is particularly grounding, for the deliberate forcing of the breathing also forces the focus of a good part of your attention onto the breathing. So, naturally, whichever practice of yours incorporates power breathing, it will be significantly more grounding than otherwise. Aware increasing of grounding is a crucial part of the true self actualization process, and is crucial in clearing yourself of dark force connections and influence, whose clearance is essential for full self actualization.
  Caution! If you are doing a succession of Grounding Post sessions, particularly indoors upon a stone sphere, there is quite a strong ungrounding element in the proceedings, largely brought about by the progressive hyperventilation that tends to be accumulated, because for maximum effectiveness it's necessary not to pause between Power Breathing cycles during the session. For this reason, Grounding Post is best used judiciously, with suitable breaks being taken between individual sessions.

Extra-complete breathing or extended complete breathing

This is intermediate between standard complete breathing and power breathing. In this case you do 'force it' a little at the 'full' and 'empty' points, just as in power breathing, but you are not actually breathing forcefully, so, in all respects apart from the slight over-filling and over-emptying, it is standard complete breathing.

The End of Practice Procedure

Generally speaking, the various practices that I describe are more effective if completed by use of a very small procedure that could be said figuratively to 'put a seal upon your intent' in the practice and, I think, generally it somewhat extends the continuation of the healing process that the practice has initiated, and maybe intensifies it a bit too.

There are two alternative procedures that I use and recommend. The first given here is what anyone can do.

All this procedure consists of is bringing your hands together as though in praying position*, with fingers of each hand together, straight and pointing upwards, but each hand touching the other ONLY at the tips of fingers and thumbs, so that actually your hands would be held roof-wise at an angle of something like 45 degrees to each other. You hold this hand position close to and level with your lower to middle chest area for a moment. If you're in a hurry, you can do just that in, say, a second. However, it is more effective if you hold that position while you hold the tip of your tongue to your palate and go through one or even, for maximum effect, two extra-complete breathing cycles. It is thus still a very brief end-of-practice procedure, even when done for optimal effectiveness.

* It's important to keep completely clear of any notions of a religious or 'spiritual' significance in this, and it has nothing to do with praying or with any sort of reverential gesture; the procedure is simply a particular way of focusing your closing intent for the practice or method - much as to obtain water you have to turn a tap on (or carry out some other relevant procedure).

The second method that I suggest is for people who have an Energy Egg with them at the time. All you do for that is hold one end of the Energy Egg (the broad end if you have one of the older egg-shaped ones) to your mid-brow position, on the bony bit just above the bridge of your nose, and swallow twice while holding it there. For myself, energy testing indicated that this was preferable to the two-hands method, but other people might get a different result for that. Either method appears to work well anyway.

Ensuring that your benefits from the practices INCREMENT rather than just go up and down

When people do self healing practices or do their daily little bit of Yoga, or receive some healing or therapy from another person, typically they feel 'recharged', but then to a considerable extent their overall state declines until they have their next 'recharge'. This happens because they are still not fundamentally changing the way they live, and are still making many everyday choices that are weakening for them.

That is NOT how the true self actualization process operates. If you're serious about self actualization, rather than just 'bumping along the bottom' with occasional 'recharges', then you're into a different mindset, in which you seek to make every aspect of your life strengthening for you and supportive to your self actualization process. That is what I call living with intent, and it involves consistently seeking to choose whatever is most strengthening for you (i.e. for your deepest or ultimate good) and not necessarily what you immediately 'want'. When you are living with intent, at least to a fair degree, your practices - especially ones free of dark force connections (i.e. such as the practices given on this page) - are not 'recharges' but incremental strengthenings or 'upward' steps, so that you are going from strength to greater strength every day, and are on a strong and consistent upward trend in the happiness and meaningful abundance of your life, and indeed your overall health.

You can greatly support and underpin your living with intent by a regular formal reading to yourself of my set of affirmations for self actualization and fundamental healing. However, on the most immediate and practical note, we have an invaluable introductory guide for living with intent - in the form of my own energy testing guide. By introducing you to the methodology of energy testing and developing the proper grounded energy awareness that enables you to effortlessly and securely live with intent (joyfully!), the energy testing guide gives you the means to enable you to start turning your life around right now through making only strengthening choices (or at least the least weakening choices when all the options appear to be adverse), while the affirmations would give you masses of ideas as to choices that you could make to take you forward in your life - and you can check everything with energy testing before committing yourself by taking up particular options and acting upon your provisional choices.

The Returning Life Sequence

This is an extremely powerful and effective across-the-board, broad spectrum yogic practice for restoring the very major part of the life force 'energies' of your whole being, which had been gradually 'lost'* during your life so far. I strongly recommend it, and use it daily myself. We almost universally become increasingly depleted in life force 'energies' as our life goes on, and the overall effect of this is generally regarded as the major part of ageing.

* Actually it would be most helpful to understand that the supposedly lost 'energies' are lost only in the sense that they had become degraded and no longer available to one to use. In other words they haven't gone away anywhere.

However, the reality is that very little of that progressive depletion is part of any genuine ageing process, and it represents the accumulation of karmas in the correct or at least most helpful sense of the word - that is, the accumulation of weakenings and distortions of your 'energy system' due to all manner of adverse influences in your life, such as environmental stresses of all types (including virtually all medical treatments and indeed self medication), emotional traumas, and 'weakening' choices that you've inevitably kept making unless you were consistently using energy testing in a proficient manner in order to live with ongoing 'positive intent'.

The Good News is that, at least according to the originators of this practice, the vastly major proportion of all those increments of accumulating damage to your 'energy system', which eventually result in all manner of physical problems, many of which are traditionally put down to 'ageing', is reversible - and the Returning Life Sequence is claimed to progressively achieve this.

To be completely honest about this, there is actually no means that I know of to verify the fullness of the claims made for the practice, as to what it achieves and how it works*, apart from the fact of people who use it (including myself) getting a lot of positive change and increased vitality and buoyancy that appears to be resulting from it. Channelling certainly doesn't help you to know, because that is the dark force giving you 'information' to mislead you - and even what some people experience as some advanced sort of 'higher perception' actually can never really be trusted when it comes to explanations and 'story' relating to any particular healing method - because there is no way that one can know for sure that one isn't getting dark force interference or at least some distortion of one's inner communication pathways. In practice I'm happy to use the practice as if it were progressively restoring at least the major part of my life force 'energies', because that helps tune me to my intent that indeed that is happening. In my own approach to healing and self actualization I recognise much or all of what I'm doing as being different means to focus and manifest my positive, healing and self actualization intent.

* Actually this is true of any healing method that works on our subtle or non-physical aspects, so in no way am I meaning to diminish the Returning Life Sequence. I just want to clarify as to what I or indeed anyone else can and cannot really know about it.

The Returning Life Sequence was developed by Stephen and Lynda Kane, and they have produced an excellent DVD to enable you to learn this practice. Its primary part (called the Returning Life Weave) is a sequence of arm / hand movements that are carried out in synchronization with short 'weaving' breaths (in through the nostrils, out through partially closed lips). I myself do not go along with the various manifestations of the Kane's 'spirituality'* angle on the method, and I prefer to ignore the 'spirituality'-associated names that they give to the various movements, asanas and mudras, and also their descriptions of aura, chakra and energy dynamics**. Fortunately any sort of knowledge of or belief in these is completely nonessential for the Returning Life Sequence to work fully.

* For an explanation, please see Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter 'Clear-Mindedness'.
** From the perspective of the from-the-core-essence approach to self actualization that I promote, such details are seen to be a problematical distraction from working purely from your own core essence, which itself operates all the processes and dynamics without the conscious awareness ('ordinary mind') needing any conceptual constructs of these.

If you happen to have obtained a publicly available .PDF file giving instructions for the Returning Life Sequence, please note that that is out of date and, I think it has now been withdrawn from public access. It's by far the best to get the current DVD, in which you'd get a much fuller version of the practice.

To obtain the DVD please go to RealHealth Online.

As noted further above, I am expecting to present a freely available alternative to the Returning Life Sequence here before so very long.

Self-Power Walking

This is one of the most important practices that I recommend to people and have been using myself.

Self-Power Walking (which is something quite different from what is widely known as Power Walking) is in effect a special type of meditation, and, because formal sitting meditation is ungrounding and can be harmful in other ways too, especially when done a lot, I strongly recommend that Self-Power Walking replace ALL formal sitting meditation that you may have been doing up to this point.

Unlike sitting meditation, Self-Power Walking works extremely potently in an active and grounding way to carry out a range of important healing functions, including the clearance of old emotional issues, traumas and attachments - certainly those that are truly yours, and, as far as I can ascertain, additionally those of attached entities (particularly 'lost' human souls*) that are adversely affecting you. I got the basic Self-Power Walking method from Stephen and Lynda Kane at one of their Energy Awareness Training workshops**, but I enhanced the method's effectiveness for my own purposes by adding another Self-Power Walking mode to the original two.

* This is a little-known but nearly universal phenomenon, which is something different from 'spirit attachments', which are discarnate human consciousnesses. I explain about their significance in The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks.

** They actually called the practice 'Power Walking', which term I myself, following in their footsteps, had been using on this site till late April 2010, when I switched to calling it 'Self-Power Walking'. I made this change because a Web search revealed that, as noted above, there is a well established widely used meaning for 'power walking', and it isn't at all what Stephen and Lynda or I had been using that term for - being simply the use of some special physical technique to enable oneself to walk at a particularly fast speed with minimum stress to the system for such a speed. For this reason it simply isn't practical to use the term 'Power Walking' - otherwise an excellent term for the purpose - for the yogic / semi-yogic walking practice that I'm referring to on this page and elsewhere on this site.

Features common to all Self-Power Walking modes

• Your hands are both formed into a mudra (energy-active configuration), which is different for each mode, and your arms swing freely - as loosely as you can reasonably manage while holding the particular mudras. The tension in the hands for each of the mudras will cause some stiffness of the arm swings, but that stiffness needs to be kept to the minimum possible while maintaining maximum tautness of the hands. While holding these mudras, for the first and second modes you walk with the backs of the hands facing forwards, and for the third, using the splayed hand mudra, the backs of the hands are facing outwards laterally.

  The different mudras enable different, albeit overlapping, aspects of your emotional issues (and various other distortions in your non-physical aspects) to progressively clear - so, generally speaking, they all need to be used in a session - though without worrying that something will go wrong for you if for some reason you didn't succeed in fitting them all into a specific session.

• The tip of your tongue is held to the top/front of your palate - at a position just behind where you can feel some marked indentations.

• You are carrying out complete breathing, extra-complete breathing, or, better still, power breathing.

• Your gaze is primarily out to distant objects. In the original instructions I was given for "Power Walking" it was said simply that you need to "keep focused on distant objects". My own experience and 'reading' suggests that the healthiest and most effective use of your sight in Self-Power Walking sessions is to allow yourself to enjoy a very varied range of visual foci, so it is actually fine and indeed helpful still to glance at the odd near objects, such as plant and animal life nearby (and the dog poo that you'd tread in if you were just looking into the distance), while still maintaining most attention on the distance. And again, it is also helpful to allow yourself at times to de-focus as in formal meditation - but a defocused state is best NOT to be maintained for long periods, nor for most of the time, because it is ungrounding, and this practice is of greatest benefit if it is kept strongly grounding.

• Part of your awareness is on the contact of your feet (through your footwear, if worn!) with the ground, and you maintain, at least at the back of your mind, a sense of unwanted, distorted 'energies' and emotional issues and attachments all passing out of your system through your feet and indeed your hands (holding their mudras), straight down into the ground. It's important that you simply allow such an 'energy' flow to occur and don't use your conscious mind to try to direct the 'energy'. If you do that you will actually obstruct the process. So, the name of the game here is to simply enjoy having some sense of it happening.

  Actually I doubt very much whether there is really some sort of energy flowing out of you, even temporarily, when you are Self-Power Walking. I see this notion of the degraded / distorted 'energies' passing into the ground, to return to you later transformed into a pure and healthy state, as just a convenient schematic depiction of a process that is actually much more subtle and difficult (or indeed even totally impossible) to describe in any objectively accurate way. The same point also applies to my descriptions of how the Grounding Post procedure works.
  

  My more recent inner inquiry appears to have now more satisfactorily explained how it is that Stephen and Lynda Kane were able to 'demonstrate' that harmful / distorted energies pass out of a person into the ground when (s)he is doing "Power Walking" (energy testing shows it to be somewhat weakening to be on ground over which somebody has just been Self-Power Walking). My understanding now is that the cause of this effect is NOT problematical 'energies' passing from the Self-Power walker into the ground, but a slight resonance or induction effect upon a person's most immediate surroundings while very actively and 'energetically' processing problematical 'energies', as occurs in Self-Power Walking.
  

  However, it is still helpful in practical terms to get some sense of problematical 'energies' passing out of you into the ground when you are doing Self-Power Walking - particularly if you recognise it as just a sort of convenient schematic visualization of something really too subtle to be helpfully described.
  

• You allow your mind to be empty or not empty, without preconceptions as to how it ought to be. You aim to gently observe anything going on in your mind without getting involved with it. Unlike in formal sitting meditation, this actually comes much more naturally in Self-Power Walking, because you have plenty of variety all around and within you to focus on instead of getting involved in your thoughts. It is greatly unhelpful to try to make your mind empty, as so many teachers exhort one to do. Even for an enlightened and deeply realized person, the healthiest state is NOT with a completely empty mind but with an unattached one.

• While Self-Power Walking will work wherever you do it, it is most effective when you are in some sort of open and especially elevated country with really distant views. Coastal and especially clifftop Self-Power Walking is especially effective, and then has the additional benefit of the healing effects of the proximity of the sea.

• For much the best results, finish your Self-Power Walking session with the End of Practice Procedure. You can make things slightly more effective still by using this procedure at the end of each mode of Self-Power Walking during your session. That's definitely non-essential, but it is slightly helpful if you remember to do it.

  Self-Power Walking still works beautifully without your using that procedure, but you will get quite a lot more benefit if you do remember to use it. As I understand it at the moment, if within about 1 to 2 hours of your finishing your Self-Power Walking you realize that you'd forgotten to use the End of Practice Procedure, you can largely make up for the omission by repeating a little of the last mode of Self-Power Walking that you'd used - say for three full extra-complete or power breathing cycles - and then using the End of Practice Procedure.

• How long to do your Self-Power Walking? -- Ideally you would ascertain this 'on the fly' by energy testing or grounded direct energy awareness (which latter very few people indeed are yet able to use to any really helpful extent). I myself do so by energy testing. However, if you don't yet have such energy awareness or the requisite energy testing method (ordinary dowsing or channelling would be unreliable and can cause you serious trouble), then a good general recommendation is for 5 to 10 minutes, divided up about equally between the three modes. Just a minute or two of each mode per day would be very effective, but if you have some particular urgency to clear stuff out (e.g. because of particular dark force attacks or an abusive relationship situation), there's nothing to stop you having even 30-40-minute sessions - though it would be best to periodically energy-test to see what is really the optimum session length for you at the present time. Indeed, my own inner inquiry points to a 5+ minutes' session more or less daily being more effective than having a single 30 to 40-minute session just once a week, though of course your own energy testing (for yourself) may indicate differently.

  That may sound like some sort of troublesome commitment, but truly it isn't like that. Nobody's saying you've got to do 'x amount' of Self-Power Walking every day. I'm just suggesting what is likely to be optimal for you. Indeed, if you get in the odd five minutes of Self-Power Walking in a week you'd be doing yourself a great favour as compared with not using it at all. However, I think that once you understand more deeply what wonders it's doing or would be doing for you, you would want to increase your Self-Power Walking to an optimal level and 'get on with it', so getting to enjoy life so much more as all manner of your old 'gubbins' is cleared out.

The different modes of Self-Power Walking

Mode 1

You use what I am calling the power middle finger mudra. For obvious reasons, in many cultures (including my own) it is wise not to display this one in public pointing anything like upwards, even though in a sense that still is a sort of power middle finger mudra (with a different intent and purpose)!

-- NOT this!   

Notionally, this mudra is the clawed hand mudra (see below), but with the middle finger tautly outstretched. However, I don't know about you, but I myself find it not merely painful to attempt but actually physically impossible, and what I end up with is simply the loosest possible fist with the middle finger tautly outstretched. My energy testing indicates that this works fine, but is definitely helped if you still think of your hand configuration as NOT being a fist but instead still being your best attempt at the clawed hand mudra.

I warn now that this and the next mudra are very uncomfortable - even rather painful when you are not used to them - and it's important to maintain the maximum tautness despite the discomfort.

However, to put this in its proper perspective, I find that every time I'm doing these Self-Power Walking practices, the mental and emotional sense of well-being and emerging inner power is so pronounced that I'm still strongly motivated to use the practices despite the temporary physical discomforts. I also find that despite a slight arthritic condition of my finger joints, no deleterious effects have shown up at all.

You hold this mudra with the BACK of your hands facing forwards while you walk.

Mode 2

For this one you use the clawed hand mudra.

For this mudra you curve your fingers and thumb inwards as far as you can, while you are simultaneously pulling them back at the base as hard as you can - so that the fingers and thumb are like claws or talons and touch neither each other nor any part of the palm. It is important to hold the hand as tautly like this as possible. Because of the discomfort you may need to take the odd brief break while using this mudra (or the Power Middle Finger mudra). That's fine and won't hurt the practice in any way. Indeed, through being flexible enough to look after yourself well you actually slightly increase the practice's effectiveness.

You hold this mudra with the BACK of your hands facing forwards while you walk.

Mode 3

For this you use the splayed hand mudra, in which all your fingers are splayed out as wide apart as possible - a bit tautly but not enough to be really stressful.

As you walk, this time you do so with your PALMS facing INWARDS, towards yourself.

Some general notes for all three modes

Pick and choose, or use all?

You may be aware of specific issues of yours that you want to address using specific Self-Power Walking modes. However, what your conscious mind thinks doesn't all that often tally with what is actually best for you. Generally speaking, although it's greatly beneficial to do any Self-Power Walking at all, in any mode(s) that you happen to choose, it's best, whenever practical, to fit all three modes into a session, whether or not in that particular session. If you use energy testing, you would be able to tell to what extent to use any particular Self-Power Walking mode in a particular session, but the general best practice is to give about equal time to all three modes.

The problem about being picky is not that you'd do too much of one particular mode but simply that you'd most likely be denying yourself some important clearance because of your not sufficiently using another particular mode too.

One-handed operation

I think it's pretty obvious that while your hands are holding things you can't really do Self-Power Walking - at least, as I've described it above. So, if you regularly use a pair of trekking poles when you go walking or hiking, then you've got a little problem. In fact, using a pair of such poles is not the beneficial thing that at the moment it is almost universally being made out to be, as I explain in my Favourite Hiking Routes page. There are indeed various reasons why it's best not to use even one walking stick at all except where the terrain is seriously uneven or you have very unstable ankles. If you have the latter issue, as indeed I had myself at one time, the primary way to clear that problem is through using the Returning Life Sequence and the practices described on this page - though it would most likely take some months or even a year or two for the instability to go anything like completely.

However, if you are using just one walking stick (which is what I myself do on certain particularly uneven and hard-going walking routes) or are holding, say, a shopping bag in one hand, then you can hold the mudra with the free hand - BUT in this case it's very helpful to remember to periodically switch the use of the hands, so that the mudra is held for a roughly equal duration by both hands. As you can imagine, this is not as effective as holding the mudra with both hands simultaneously, but is still effective enough to be very much worth doing - especially if you're Power-Breathing.

If you do a session of Self-Power Walking in this manner, it is very helpful (though not essential) to do just a little two-handed Self-Power Walking in each of the modes before you finish that for the day - again remembering to use the End of Practice Procedure at the end.

Although I cover one-handed operation here, I don't really recommend it except in cases where one has very limited opportunities for Self-Power Walking at all, or one has a particular urgency at the time for doing a lot of Self-Power Walking (perhaps, for example, because of a current problem with dark force attacks), or, of course, if one has only one usable hand.

Gloves and mitts - not altogether a problem!

To some extent, wearing of gloves or mitts tends to reduce the effectiveness of Self-Power Walking, but my own experimentation and energy testing has shown that, with a positive intent to make it still work well, you can very effectively Power Walk while wearing gloves or mitts - especially good news for people with the so-called Raynaud's disease (one of my afflictions).

Indeed, mitts have an especial advantage, because when you're wearing them you can happily Power Walk even around town without any risk of people thinking you're an escape from the nearest psychiatric unit! That is, the mitts nicely conceal your strange-looking mudras - though some people may still give you slightly odd looks because you are still visibly holding your hands rather stiffly at slightly strange angles for walking.

Self-Power Walking indoors

If, for one reason or another you don't have access to a suitable route to Self-Power Walk, you can do it indoors with quite reasonable effectiveness, even though it's significantly more effective to be actually walking in a suitable outdoor location. If it's not practical to actually be walking around much (which of course would usually be the case indoors), you can do it standing, with your feet modestly apart and reasonably parallel to and aligned with each other, and with your knees very slightly bent, so that the legs are not stiffly straight. It helps then to imagine, as you swing your arms, that you really are walking, and to make it as much like a real outdoors Self-Power Walking session as possible. You can further improve the effectiveness of this standing practice by a slight oscillation of your body from side to side - not tilting but simply moving your centre of gravity more over one foot, then the other. This doesn't have to be synchronized with anything, and indeed could cause problems if, for example, synchronized with the breathing, for it might lead you into inadvertent hyperventilation.

Self-Power Walking for disabled people

I have belatedly experimented on this and found that apparently - if I'm getting a correct picture from my own energy awareness and energy testing responses - I'm able to do Self-Power Walking remarkably well as a sitting practice (!). I'm not claiming that this is fully as effective as when one is walking, but it looks to be very much worth doing sitting if you really can't get out walking or even do it as a standing practice. This, then, opens up Self-Power Walking for any disabled person who can at least sit upright, swing their arms reasonably vigorously to and fro as though walking briskly, holding the relevant mudras and also extra-complete or power breathing (preferably the latter) with the tip of the tongue held to the palate.

You need to be sitting on a simple upright chair with no arms or wheels to get in the way of your loosely hanging arms, which both would need to be swinging to and fro without collisions with bits of chair. Your back needs to be upright and reasonably straight, but not held stiffly. This comes easiest if you sit with your bottom pushed firmly against the back of the chair. Also, your gaze needs to average out at very roughly straight ahead, without your holding yourself in any one specific posture; rather, think of your head as being lightly and loosely poised on top of your neck. Your feet need to be placed reasonably apart with soles squarely on the floor, and with no leg crossing.

If at all possible, you'd need to be sitting where you can gaze out of a window at some sort of view - the more expansive and distant the better. Failing that, a picture of an expansive natural landscape or seascape could be very helpful for you to be facing. As with standard Self-Power Walking you need to keep varying you gaze, looking at different details, both far and relatively close, and making sure that you don't start getting spaced out. It helps the effectiveness of the practice if you actually imagine for the whole duration of the session that you really are walking (briskly) - whether or not you are really able to walk. Thus you swing your arms as though you were walking briskly, and would be thus swinging them at the best sort of speed for this purpose. For this practice it would actually be helpful to be wearing shoes, to increase the impression of your actually walking when you're imagining it.

You may also assist yourself in making this a grounding 'outdoor' experience by playing a recording of suitable natural environmental sounds, such as bird choruses and meteorological phenomena such as thunderstorms. You'd need sounds that engage and stimulate your awareness, and not ones that tend to send you to sleep or make your feel spaced out or out of body.

All other details of the practice are as described for the standard, walking version. Even if you can't keep up this sitting version for very long, every bit that you do would be helping a great deal.

I would caution, however, that this is really untested apart from my own brief experiments and energy testing results from those experiments, so it's really up to each relevant person to find out for him/herself whether this 'sitting' version of Self-Power Walking works for them.

 'Après Self-Power Walking'...

Yes, it's really nice when all that intensity has stopped! You've excruciated yourself (perhaps) with the mudras for the Self-Power Walking, and now you can enjoy being fully relaxed as you continue walking (or simply are walking on another occasion when it's not appropriate to be doing Self-Power Walking). However, even now you can greatly benefit yourself by what is in a way a much gentler sort of Self-Power Walking, which adds no discomfort and virtually no effort to your walking - and doesn't look so strange to ordinary mortals that you couldn't do it around town. This can be done by anyone, and doesn't have to be associated with Self-Power Walking as such at all.

For this mode of walking you have your arms and hands swinging loose but each hand has the tip of thumb and forefinger touching, with the fingers otherwise loose (though held roughly together in a relaxed sort of way - and it helps for you to imagine that they are so loose that your arm, hand and finger bones could all float away out of their sockets.

In this mode of walking you actually keep clear of any notion that 'I am Self-Power Walking', and simply enjoy your walking and keeping it as relaxed as possible (the Alexander Technique greatly helps), whether it be in town or country. As well as the tips of thumb and forefinger gently touching, the tip of your tongue is held to your palate. You can at times do complete breathing, though I recommend that this not be maintained for long when you're in this walking mode, but power breathing is definitely 'out'.

You can do any walking, anytime, in this mode - even all day, though I recommend that it not be used in a rigidly continuous manner for very long periods, or it would start becoming one of your attachments and thus an obstacle for you. So, it's the sort of thing to periodically come back to at times while you're out and about.

This mode of walking, because it is gentle and you use it quite a bit of the time, does not particularly need the End of Practice Procedure, but you can still get a little benefit through using it on the odd occasion when you're aware that you've just stopped holding the mudra, or at the end of a walk.

Grounding Post

Grounding Post is an extremely simple and focused procedure for clearing problematical and distorted energies from your system. These can include energy implants, thought forms, beliefs, trauma memories, apparent past life memories, and any painful or problematical emotions. I have called the procedure Grounding Post because you use a wooden post to ground and disperse the problematical energies (which are subsequently returned to your system transformed into healthy, fully life-supporting energy)*. Also, to a fair extent the use of this procedure helps ground your awareness.

* As already noted, I doubt very much whether that is really anything more than a figurative description of what really happens - which latter would be too subtle ever to be able to be described in an objectively accurate manner.

This is a lovely procedure to use when out on walks in the country (on which indeed you may also be doing some Self-Power Walking). When you come upon a suitable fence or stile post, or indeed wooden bollard, you can make a major impact on a significant issue of yours, painlessly, almost effortlessly, within half a minute - so that at a really inviting post you might well dispose of two or three significant issues all within just a short pause on the walk. There is something wonderfully joyful and empowering about using the procedure, as I hope you will find out yourself.

In the case of implants, for anyone who has a 'Guardian Angel' / 'Archangel' and an Energy Egg the procedure given further below for removing entities and implants is more powerful and works well on implants without their needing to be identified or located within your system as they need to be in the procedure I describe below. However, there is nothing to stop you using both methods and so getting still greater benefit.

Grounding Post is completely safe (provided you don't go seriously overdoing the power breathing). It has proved extremely effective for clearing or very much weakening at least many illusory realities, including ones used in dark force attacks. I have much personal experience of this, and reports of similar experiences from other people who have used this procedure. It is great for clearing any limiting belief, and going at least some way to clearing very broadly identified emotional issues as well as some more specific ones - though I recommend using the 'broad' approach wherever possible, to minimize the number of Grounding Post sessions that are required.

Many of the things that I understand Grounding Post to be able to clear are a bit difficult to verify, at least for me, because I have other healing and clearance methods in ongoing use, and it is often difficult or impossible for me to ascribe a particular positive change to one method or another. So, the claims that I make for this procedure are not all fully tested but at least appear to be logically based with regard to what has been consistently observed to work, and are supported by my inner inquiry / energy testing.

It would always be helpful to hear from people who have had clear positive results from their use of Grounding Post, so that any claims that I make for it can be better founded on actual observations.

I do not regard Grounding Post as a replacement for ongoing use of the yogic practices such as the Returning Life Sequence and Self-Power Walking, ongoing use of which would be progressively dissolving a wide range problematical energy configurations in your system, very likely including implants and thought forms, without your having to identify any of them - but it would be a quick way of clearing certain specific issues of this type of which you are aware, without having to wait for them to disappear during the overall, more gradual clearance process.

The basis of this procedure was given to me by the psychic surgeon CT, who, fortunately, passed the particular method to me freely without any 'ties' and no signs at all that it had to be kept private as any sort of 'intellectual property' of his. I have tidied up the original, expanded it where necessary and removed or altered the odd details of CT's where certain problematical beliefs of his had led to his incorporating the odd unhelpful elements in the procedure.

I should mention here that in CT's original of this procedure he described the phenomenon that I call a thought form replica of an implant as a memory of the implant left in your DNA. If you encounter such a notion anywhere, it's as well to bear in mind that that is part of a big dark force sourced myth concerning the purported role of DNA in some purported big step forward for Humanity such as 'full consciousness' or 'ascension', which is actually a scheme from the dark force to ensnare a huge number of people in an illusory reality and thus the dark force's agenda of taking full control of those people for an extremely pernicious purpose as described in The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks. On this site I do my best to point to insights and methodology that are free from all such troublesome influences.

In the case of removing implants, it is important always to finish off the removal procedure by repeating it for the removal of the thought form replica of the implant you have just attempted to remove, for, according to my own inner inquiry results, virtually all energy implants are accompanied by thought form replicas of themselves. Indeed, if you have ever had supposedly temporary healing implants put into your system by a healer or psychic surgeon (always seriously misguidedly!), even if the implants had dissolved as they were meant to (in some cases they don't dissolve, and need to be removed), their thought form replicas would in most cases still be present, being maintained by the dark force, and causing various problems in your system, including increased openness and vulnerability to the dark force.

For a specific implant you don't need to have an extremely precise knowledge of its location, because your own energy system can to a certain extent compensate for an error in positioning of your mental focus on the implant - but there are limits to how far such compensation can go. There is no harm at all, however, in doing some 'belt and braces' work, repeating the procedure using different guesstimates of where a particular device might be (remembering each time to repeat the procedure to remove any remaining thought form replica of the device).

But then again, if you use energy testing you would be able to ascertain where any particular device is, and also whether the procedure has worked on it and indeed on the thought form replica. Indeed, you would also (I hope!) energy-test first of all to see if it would be worthwhile / helpful for you to use that particular procedure in the first place. After all, I might have written a lot of useless dark force sourced fiction on this page - vigilance is always a great policy! Or your 'information' or hunch that you have a particular implant my itself be incorrect, and your energy testing, although not being able to tell you categorically whether you do or don't have the implant, would be able to indicate whether it would be helpful to act as though you do have it.

Notes about clearing thought forms and emotional material

There is never cause to worry about whether something such as an apparent past life memory would be appropriate to submit to Grounding Post for dissolution. Only what is not serving your deepest and ultimate good would be dissolved or disappear, so, if in doubt at all over something, just go ahead anyway and do it! If, for example, you make as though to dissolve a particular memory, if that memory needs to be kept (it would need to be kept if and only if it is genuinely yours and of this lifetime), then the memory would not dissolve, BUT a considerable proportion (or perhaps all) of any problematical 'energies' associated with it (such as trauma) would be dissolved. In other words, it would be 'cleaned up'.

In fact you don't really dissolve memories at all - that's just a convenient way of describing it. You dissolve your attachment to them. Thus no memories are actually being destroyed, and indeed you may still be able, if you have some particular reason to do so, to recall particular memories that aren't yours and you'd actually let go of - but you would then much more readily recognise them as 'unlikely to be mine' or "something I've let go of now".

If you have a specific entity or dark force interference problem, it can be worthwhile treating it as though it were a thought form and using Grounding Post on it. This has two advantages. One is that you may by that means actually dissipate some thought form material related to real entities or/and the dark force that are interfering with you. The other is that, particularly if you have already been doing extensive self actualization and clearance work, any actual entities may have actually already gone (though that wouldn't be the case for dark force interferences), and what you are experiencing then is (yes, I say it again!) a thought form replica of the departed entity. If the latter is the case, you may experience a dramatically rapid cessation of the particular issue just through using that simple and quick procedure a few times or maybe even just once.

Emotional stresses and traumas cause one to create thought forms aplenty, so theoretically, on clearing an emotional trauma one would then be left with thought forms that mimic it, still to clear - thanks to the dark force interfering with one in ways that cause them to be maintained, for otherwise they would simply disperse alongside the traumas that they are derived from. However, in practice if you use Grounding Post to simply clear the problematical feelings and beliefs, without identifying them specifically as emotional trauma or thought forms, then you will be clearing whatever presents itself and there is no need to concern yourself whether what you're dealing with at any particular time is trauma, memory, thought form or indeed anything else. Easy!

Thought forms may seem to you to be rather an exotic sort of thing, but actually we ALL carry thought forms that we have picked up from all manner of people and sources. Also we unawarely create them and affect other people with them. I strongly recommend that the Grounding Post method described above be used to clear thought forms that you may have received from parents, partners (especially abusive ones), teachers and lecturers of any type, and doctors of any type. Doctors and therapists particularly tend to unawarely implant thought forms into everyone with whom they deal - not just patients / clients.

Psychiatric doctors, and also any type of therapist or healer who uses hypnosis among their methods, are among the worst offenders, because, generally speaking, they have strong patterns of wanting to control others (they usually do not recognise this at all themselves!), and it is these patterns that have put them into their professional positions. This happens regardless of how 'nice' the doctor or therapist may appear to be. The most problematical thought forms involved are pretty well invariably relating to power / control issues and they help predispose people to be deferential to those doctors and therapists and accept their control and supposed superiority. Those thought forms remain with the affected people and generally have a disempowering effect on them, so helping to keep them steered away from self empowerment and true self actualization. The passing on of such thought forms from doctors and therapists is so normal that hardly anyone bats an eyelid at it happening, yet actually it is all the working of the dark force and extremely unhealthy for us all.

The simple and straightforward way of greatly expediting the clearance from yourself of such material - unless you know of specific thought forms to process - is to use your intent to visualize (in a vague sort of way) the particular doctor or other person in your cupped hands, together with all the thought forms, status, power and control agendas and any sort of emotional pressures from them, and then use the 'wooden post' procedure just as with a single thought form. This is extremely unlikely to completely clear everything relating to the particular person, but it is bound to clear a significant proportion, and is worth repeating a few times on, say, a monthly basis - though my current 'reading' is that, generally speaking, the remains of the particular thought form complex, if it's not a very strong and deeply held one, would spontaneously dissipate over a few weeks or perhaps a month or two, with no further action required.

Finally, as a cue and prompting for your using Grounding Post for clearing issues of your own, I list here a selection of thought forms and other things that I have delivered into wooden posts or by the same means into my stone sphere to my considerable benefit. I should explain that nearly all the thought forms and issues that I have been clearing are originated NOT from experiences of mine (and are thus NOT my own issues at all) but have been left in my system by the large collection of parasitic lost souls that were attached to me (I'm not sure if I have any of them left now). The strength of the nasty feelings associated with various of them has been caused by the dark force attacking me to give nightmarishly or even hellishly exaggerated experiences of the particular emotion feelings.

• Thought form: I'm being overwhelmed / destroyed by this (with a specific and quite hellish emotional feeling)
• Thought form: I'm going too fast!
• Thought form: the vow, I'll never, ever drive!
• Thought form: I can't pee because somebody might know I'm peeing here.
• Thought form: Something unspeakably frightful has happened! (together with a strong and overpoweringly menacing ache at my solar plexus)
• Thought form: the vow, I'll never, ever again, form a close relationship!
• Thought form: the vow, I'll never, ever again compose music!
• Thought form complex: a past life memory of one of the attached lost souls - being in absolutely total darkness, terrified and being pursued by something unidentified which is repeatedly making a most terrifying sound - and then, still fleeing in total darkness in absolute terror, falling into what seems to be some extremely deep pit, presumably to my death. Some nasty emotion feelings unsurprisingly associated with this.
• Thought forms which I received from the psychiatric doctors at Wonford House and The Cedars in Exeter, including I'm a patient, I'm mentally ill, The doctors know best, and I must do what the doctors tell me to. I focused on mental images of the doctors and projected those images and all the related thought forms into my cupped hands for delivering into the wooden post.
• Thought form: Whenever fulfilment begins to look possible for me it is snatched away, so yet again I'm going to die unfulfilled. (with a nasty, 'doomed' sort of emotional feeling)
• Emotion feelings: Sexual arousal and erotic ecstasy (These have been regularly used by the dark force to try to control me, as happens for almost everyone.)
• Thought form complex: a feeling of morbid dread at any thought of 'the occult' or 'dark practices'
• Thought form complex, centred around certain disturbing smells and generalized 'witchcraft', 'dark practices' and 'black magic' images with which the dark force repeatedly plied me to try to frighten me.
• Thought form: I'm not worthy of another person's (and particularly a woman's) companionship or closeness.
• Thought form: I've done something wrong (accompanied by a specific very nasty - even hellish - feeling)
• Self doubt (with a specific, very nasty disempowering feeling)
• Anger (of alarming-feeling intensity)
  

  N.B. A reminder - I have no anger of my own; this is just dark force attack when it happens, and the same is true for the other problematical emotions in this list. They remain attached to my system as memories left from the parasitic lost souls and kept in place by the dark force. When I do get attacked with anger I do not get into a rage but simply feel the very nasty feelings and a pressure upon me from the dark force to get into a violently destructive rage.

• Feeling of needing a companion or lover
• Illusory reality based on I need to exist and I need to know that I exist
• Illusory reality based on If I don't have supportive friendship / companionship I'll be annihilated
• Illusory reality based on If anyone disagrees with me or verbally attacks me, I'll be annihilated
• Illusory reality based on I mustn't be found to be wrong, for if that happens I'll be annihilated
• Illusory reality based on If  I don't succeed in proving myself to others I'll be annihilated
• Illusory reality based on I'll be annihilated if I fail to achieve 
• Other illusory realities based on If I don't xxxx, I'll be annihilated

  The latter seven, plus similar ones, relating to existential terror (usually hidden), are particularly important for people to 'zap' - especially for people who are no-soul incarnations, and especially anyone who has at least some element of the 'ungrounded' or 'Schizoid' character structure, in which cases existential terror is generally a major component of the person's life experience, whether or not they recognise it as such.

• "All apparent or illusory realities in which I have 'masters' or entities of any type who have ultimate control or command over me, and in which I cannot escape that control / interference no matter what I do."
• "All apparent or illusory realities in which there is any sort of 'higher' or 'ultimate' presence or power that is in any way external to myself."
  

  N.B. These latter two are a top priority for anyone to 'zap' with Grounding Post if they are serious about clearing themselves of all dark force interference and influence. They need 'zapping' even if you're sure you're not carrying such illusory realities, for they will be there somewhere, even if only in your soul programming.
  

  Actually the second of these two really includes the first, so the chances are that you'd need to 'do' only that one, but because the particular issue is so crucial to clear I recommend 'zapping' both as a reassurance.

  As with all Grounding Post 'zappings', you can use specific wordings initially to clarify your intent, but for best results you need to then let go of the specific words and carry out the procedure with a sort of 'visualization by intent' rather than very much using the words.

Grounding Post for the most comprehensive, across-the-board healing

I don't mean by this that Grounding Post is a fully comprehensive healing method in itself - but for some people it might begin to seem like that! The point is this. There are bound to be at least many cases where one's healing - both non-physical and physical - is at least to some extent being obstructed by particular illusory realities or hidden beliefs that one may be completely unawarely carrying, typically covertly inserted by the dark force into more or less hidden aspects of one's mindspace. For this reason, it is actually extremely important to use Grounding Post to 'zap' all such illusory realities that one may be quite unawarely carrying.

You don't have to become aware of those illusory realities to 'zap' them; all you need is a little clear-mindedness about what might be getting in your way. I give below a list of some such postulated illusory realities that I've zapped for myself. I don't know to what extent I've actually been carrying any particular one in that list, but that isn't important. What is important is to 'do' each illusory reality as though one is carrying it, because it is so little work to do a 'zap' and it simply doesn't make sense not to do it, for you cannot know for sure that you aren't carrying such an illusory reality, and 'zapping' it just in case ensures that nothing important is missed. Because these are such all-embracing illusory realities, 'zapping' them can potentially have profound and far reaching beneficial effects, particularly if you are using other healing methods and one or more of the 'zapped' illusory realities had been to some extent reducing the effectiveness of those methods.

Illusory realities to 'zap' – including:

• Illusory reality in which my healing methods (including my use of stone spheres) are working less than 100%.
• Illusory reality in which there are external influences (including the dark force) that harmfully interfere with and attack me and other people.
• Illusory reality in which some or all of my physical and non-physical issues are not healing / resolving as much or as fast as is really possible.
• Illusory reality in which people are almost universally not motivated to work for their own balanced and fully comprehensive self actualization and clearance of their dark force and other adverse influences.
• Illusory reality in which my tinnitus and other physical annoyances are being magnified to an intrusive level by external influences, including the dark force.
• Illusory reality in which, each time I take a new measure that appears to be a significant step forward against the dark force's hold or interferences upon me / other people, the dark force 'retaliates' by launching a strong attack on me.
• Illusory reality in which people cannot properly connect or relate with me because of my own state of relatively balanced self actualization, and have progressively lost interest in me as I've progressively lost my confusions - pretty well the only people still making such contact all having agendas to pull me down into their particular confusions.

This isn't an exhaustive list, and you'd need to make up your own list – no doubt based on this one, but with its own details that are specific to you, just as this one has the odd details that are specific to me.

One thing is particularly important in 'zapping' these illusory realities is that you do NOT use a literal 'form of words'. Yes, you start off with the words "An illusory reality in which..." - BUT that's only your 'handle' to use as a starting point. What you focus into your cupped hands is NOT those words but the meaning underlying them, complete with a generalized and not clearly defined flood of images, impressions and thoughts that are associated with it.

It is also important here to be clear that you are 'zapping' "an illusory reality in which..." rather than just, for example, "My healing methods not working 100%". The latter would work, BUT, it would be a much more narrowly defined illusory reality, and therefore 'zapping' it would have a much lesser effect than 'zapping' the entire illusory reality that is characterized by that postulated less than 100% working of my healing methods. Indeed, this is really the smart way to 'zap' ANY illusory reality - ALWAYS to focus on "the illusory reality in which..." rather than just the specific problem that you're seeking to address. And thus, when you're allowing all the crud to pour into your cupped hands, your focus is not only on the specific issue, but also drawing into your cupped hands everything from that illusory reality, which may contain all sorts of other issues and ramifications. As you don't have to visually see any particular details, this is actually no more work for you than if you were working in the more specific and narrower way - yet the result in many cases could be immensely greater.

Sometimes a more effective wording to pinpoint an illusory reality for 'zapping' would be "an apparent reality in which..." - or, in some cases, "all apparent or illusory realities in which...". If you're in any degree of doubt, energy testing would indicate for you which is likely to be the most effective for you on the current occasion.

As with all uses of Grounding Post, the 'zapping' of each illusory reality would need to be repeated about monthly until energy testing indicated that there was no further benefit in repeating it.

 

"Just one problem - I don't have a suitable post available!"

If you have a suitable stone sphere you can actually use it as though it were the top of a suitable post. Indeed, this with just a little practice this becomes actually more effective than use of a wooden post, so it is actually my preferred way of going about the Grounding Post procedure.

Also, subject to the caveats that I give, Tonglen Breathing can be used to achieve the same thing - see further below.

'Visual' or 'Disseminated' Grounding Post

Once you are regularly using the Grounding Post procedure, it's bound to happen that sometimes you become aware of some particular issue or illusory reality that you need to 'zap' by that means, but you happen to be out and about and apparently you'd have to wait till you get back home (to work with your stone sphere) or get out on a suitable walk (to work with a suitable wooden post) before you can do anything about that. There is actually a means by which you can reasonably effectively carry out a Grounding Post 'zap' simply by use of your eyes and your intent.

You do not need to stop walking in order to do this. You simply focus your gaze at the top of any wooden post that's firmly planted in the ground, even at a distance, and, instead of gathering the issues and distorted 'energies' in your cupped hands you simply use your intent to direct those issues / 'energies' in a stream to the top of the post as you continue walking. You can do this using successive fence posts, for example, or even the tops of wooden telegraph or power line posts. You can even do the same using whole trees, for when you're working this way you have no need to 'pounce' your hands on them (which might prove a tad difficult to achieve!). 

You can intensify this simple 'visualization with your intent' by power breathing or/and holding the tip of your tongue to your palate, but it isn't essential to do so.

This particular variant of Grounding Post is unlikely to be a fully effective alternative to doing it on a wooden post or stone sphere, but it does give you the opportunity to initiate the dissolution of an issue before you have the opportunity to do it formally (and almost certainly more effectively and conclusively) by one of those means and thus to fully seal the fate of the particular issue(s). It also has a certain grounding effect for one's awareness, so that an issue or upset of some kind may clear from you at that point to a much greater extent than one might expect from the relatively small amount of actual clearance of the issue that has taken place at that point.

The only possible down-side of this variant that I can think of is in the event that a person uses it and then considers that (s)he has 'done' that issue and then doesn't bother to finish it off more securely by the standard Grounding Post procedure.

Why some illusory realities remain even when they've supposedly been 'zapped'

On the face of it, theoretically any illusory reality that you 'zap' with this method will then dissolve over a few weeks to a month or so, and not appear again. However, the real situation isn't as simple as that, and for various reasons many of the illusory realities that one is carrying may need to be removed in stages. It may seem that they'd been got rid of and have later on come back, but my understanding is that in general it's not the latter, but just that in many cases only part of the 'energy' of a particular illusory reality is 'visible' and accessible for 'zapping'. More of it becomes available for 'zapping' as your healing and clearance process continues, and so one or more periodic repeat 'zappings' are thus required. Typically you'd notice this when some particular everyday situation - very likely some sort of upset - brings that illusory reality to light again.

For this reason it's important not to become concerned or discouraged because you get signs that some particular illusory reality that you had 'zapped' some time ago shows signs of still being with you (albeit very likely in a weaker state than previously). Although it's generally best policy to go straight for and 'zap' the highest level illusory reality that you can identify in a nested set of them (i.e. the one that appears to include all the others that you have in mind at the time), and 'zapping' that one would take with it all the illusory realities that it contains, that doesn't always work out. In such cases you may need to go 'zapping' some of the contained, more specific illusory realities before a 'zapping' of that containing one could be fully effective. Sometimes the process can be held up because some of the contained illusory realities are still hidden from your conscious awareness, and probably need some specific situation to flush them out so that you recognise them and can then 'zap' them.

Grounding Post to give a powerful push to positive and healing intents

 So far I've talked of the Grounding Post procedure as being one for 'zapping' undesirable 'things' and aspects in one's life experience. Indeed, that was my only perception of this procedure up till 19th December 2009, on which date, with a particularly troublesome and seemingly intractable type of dark force attack causing me a disruptive level of physical pain that was totally resistant to painkillers or local anaesthetic, I got seeking to find new options for speeding up my own clearance process. At this point one blindingly obvious thing that I'd previously never thought of at all came to light - that you can use Grounding Post as a really powerful way of setting and activating a specific positive intent. In a fair number of cases it would serve as an alternative to a formal reading of a declaration of intent, and in some of those cases, when carried out by particularly deeply aware people (particularly no-soul people), would be very much more powerful, and indeed really about as powerful a healing method as one could come up with at all.

This non-zapping application of Grounding Post is simplicity itself if you're already used to the basic procedure. The one different thing in the procedure this time is in what you focus into your cupped hands, and your intent when you 'pounce' your hands onto the wooden post or (preferably, for this purpose) suitable stone sphere.

I commend the widest possible use of Grounding Post in this way (just substituting your own specific positive intents), and I recommend it too as a powerfully enhancing add-on to a formal reading of my set of affirmations. This use of Grounding Post is probably always superior to use of the Tonglen Breathing practice described below, and has none of the possible risks of that method.

Tonglen Breathing

While I do strongly recommend this method, it is VERY important that you heed the caveats that I give further below on the manner and in what circumstances you can use it without possibly causing problems for yourself.

Indeed I recommend that, wherever possible, instead of this practice you use the 'positive intent' version of the Grounding Post procedure described above.

Tonglen ('Giving and Receiving') is a practice particularly associated with Tibetan Buddhism, and, at the time that I became enlightened, at the beginning of 1997, I was reading books by Tibetan Buddhist 'masters', which made a lot of that practice. Indeed, what I read about that was one of the things that started putting me off those teachings, because as far as I could see, all one ever needed to do in order to carry out what was useful in Tonglen was to do a simple breathing visualization. You breathe in particular people's (or an individual's or everyone's) suffering and negativity and breathe it out to them transformed into healthy life force 'energy'. Yet the Tibetan Buddhist approach was to load that simple but profound healing technique with a lot of moralistic stuff about 'compassion' and indeed to add in a lot of ritual and completely superfluous visualizations - all of which I now understand to have been sourced from 'the dark side'.

I do NOT call the technique that I developed from that just 'Tonglen', because that would in many people's minds still associate it with Buddhism and the various distortions that Tibetan Buddhism introduced into the real healing method to make it more of a 'spiritual' or even religious practice, so bringing in harmful elements and also limiting the effectiveness of the extremely beneficial basic procedure. That is why I always call it Tonglen Breathing rather than just Tonglen. In any case, I have added an important element to the most basic Tonglen breathing, to make it all maximally effective.

Tonglen Breathing is one of the most easy, beneficial and versatile healing practices / techniques that you can use, and it can even be incorporated into a hands-on healing session. It can be used for all sorts of distant healing, and it can be applied to ANY sort of entity or dark force interference problem.

Additionally to its being a 'healing' method or technique, Tonglen Breathing is a powerful self actualization method, because use of it is all the time cultivating the self perception that you are fundamentally 'the Ultimate', and that you don't need or have cause to rely upon any seemingly external beings or 'presence'.

Anything that can be done with the Grounding Post procedure can also be done with Tonglen Breathing, but also a lot more besides.

Tonglen Breathing is actually much simpler and easier actually to do than it is to read that screed above!

Notes on Tonglen Breathing

• Safety first!

  • You are breathing in only AIR - NOT anything harmful!
    I have already cautioned that it is effectively unwise and indeed very likely harmful to use this technique unless you can hold a clear understanding / perception that you, or at least your core essence, is 'the Ultimate' and the 'infinite Source'. This is for an interesting and important reason.

    The method itself is actually intrinsically safe as long as it is used in an aware, discriminating and suitably sparing way, BUT interferences from the dark force cause the problem. If you carry a deep seated belief that if one visualizes that one is breathing in the troublesome distorted (or 'negative') energies, one is actually breathing in such energies (in other words, that it's more than just a visualization), your 'energy system' then gains 'imprints' of those troublesome energies. Those imprints are NOT directly caused by those energies but by the belief that you are actually breathing them in. Another way of regarding such beliefs, which can be completely hidden from the conscious mind, is as illusory realities - so, you can have a (quite possibly hidden) illusory reality somewhere in your awareness, in which if you did Tonglen Breathing you would actually be breathing in masses of 'negativity' and thus harming yourself.

    Unfortunately, that particular illusory reality, in a generalized form, is a standard part of people's soul programming, which has all come from the dark force. Thus, on the face of it, the only people for whom Tonglen Breathing would be a relatively safe proposition would be no-soul incarnations, who simply have no soul programming in the first place - but the vast majority of people are not no-soul incarnations.

    However, there is an easy way round this - to dissolve any illusory reality or belief that you are carrying, to the effect that when you visualize that you're breathing in troublesome energies (and indeed even actual entities) you are actually breathing them in and causing yourself harm, and indeed also to the effect that any other type of harm would come to you as a result of your using that visualization.

    The means to do that dissolution is given on this very page - the Grounding Post procedure. So, to ensure that you don't have problems through using the Tonglen Breathing technique, you simply prepare yourself by 'zapping' the abovementioned belief / illusory reality with Grounding Post. You would most likely need to repeat that 'zapping' monthly for a few months, and really you'd need to use Energy Testing to establish when you were safely ready to use Tonglen Breathing.

    However, there is another way that you can go about 'zapping' that illusory reality, though I can't guarantee that this wouldn't cause some problems initially, which is why I don't give it a blanket recommendation. Really this is just for people who don't have access to a suitable wooden post (e.g. many city dwellers) and also don't have a suitable stone sphere to work with. Because Tonglen Breathing can be used to 'zap' illusory realities and everything else that Grounding Post can 'zap', you can use Tonglen Breathing to dissolve the illusory reality in which Tonglen Breathing would bring you harm. However, the problem could well be that that particular illusory reality would at once be starting to cause you to accumulate problems from your use of Tonglen Breathing to attempt the dissolution of that illusory reality. I'm pretty sure that it would work out okay over a series of repeats of the process, but you might suffer some interim relatively minor harmful effects in your 'energy system' (of which you may well remain unaware), and the dissolution initially could well be very much hampered by this interference.

    However, each successive repeat of the session* would almost certainly be more effective and less harmful than the last, and you could at some point actually use Tonglen Breathing then to clear out any harm that you have accumulated through using it. Energy testing would indicate whether it is worthwhile to continue using that procedure, and indeed could be used to indicate whether it's best for you to try this method in the first place, and also (if you pick your test subjects well), if you did go ahead with it, whether it was causing enough problem to make it necessary to back off and find a different way to clear that illusory reality.

    * Perhaps daily for this purpose, though energy testing is really the answer, to establish just when would be most suitable to do the next repeat.

  • Maintaining your grounding Unlike the Grounding Post procedure, Tonglen Breathing is actually ungrounding. THAT is why I recommend no more than 3 cycles of (very slow) extra-complete breathing in a session. I used to use the method with gay abandon, and that was contributing significantly to the progressive ungrounding that led up to my major troubles with the dark force from late 2003.

    For this reason the use of the end of practice procedure is helpful not only for enhancing the effectiveness of the session but also for quickly re-grounding your awareness. Therefore, for healthy and safe use of Tonglen Breathing, the end of practice procedure counts as an essential part of it.

    Because of the grounding issue, I do not recommend for anyone a complete replacement of Grounding Post with Tonglen Breathing, and for some people who have particularly weak grounding it would be best to stick with Grounding Post and not use Tonglen Breathing till their energy testing indicated that they were sufficiently grounded to make it a sensible option at times. But there's no categorical rule or proscription about this. Really, energy testing is the key all along to finding out what particular method would be most helpful for you to use at any particular time.

• There is NO limit upon what you can 'breathe in' during a Tonglen Breathing session - though generally you can make it optimally effective by applying some thought to the particular issue to ensure that you focus on what is the most essential or fundamental aspect of the particular problem or issue - just as in the Grounding Post procedure.

  If, for example, your immediate concern is a cancer, then although you could just 'breathe in' that cancer, it would be more effective to focus your intent on the whole situation that has brought that cancer about. You don't need to know details of that, but you can still visualize yourself breathing in distorted energies from the whole person, which relate to the cancer in any way, and include the cancer itself - regarding the cancer as being just a product of the real problem that you're breathing in, rather than the problem itself.

  Provided you're clear of the sort of belief or illusory reality that I've already referred to as a problem, you can safely even 'breath in' all manner of night terror visuals, entities and 'darknesses', never mind how terrible, horrific or depraved they may seem to be. If you have a phobia of vomit or vomiting, you can 'breathe in' images of vomit / vomiting (suitably defocused and generalized). You can 'breathe in' 'dark forces', entities, 'demons', 'astral beings', 'astral parasites' and so on in your Tonglen Breathing sessions - though for your own health working on such subject matter needs to be done sparingly, thus maintaining a healthy balance in your life.

  One really great issue to 'zap' with Tonglen Breathing is unbidden sexual arousals. You 'breathe in' not only the particular feelings, but all the 'energies' and issues surrounding it - the fears, longings, loneliness, griefs, desires, feelings of attachment, inability to live without 'it' or him/her, and so on. You can include indeed, by association, the dark force itself, because it would definitely be part of the problem, together with any attached parasitic lost souls that you're carrying. You don't have to know for sure whether you're carrying any of the latter; it's best practice to assume that you have some, and to include them in your Tonglen Breathing, for they're bound to be a good part of the problem - albeit through their being manipulated by the dark force rather than interfering directly. You need never fear that you would lose your natural sexual feelings or responses through using such a practice. You lose (really transform) only what is unhealthy and 'not you', even though it may be perfectly normal. Normal sexual function is highly dysfunctional, so by 'zapping' your 'normal' sexual dysfunctions you progressively uncover your genuine, truly natural sexual functioning.

  In all Tonglen Breathing, it's important to 'defocus' any images so that you are not seeing them in a very clear and 'visual' way. As I've already remarked, the need is to visualize with your intent rather than with clear 'visual' pictures. Similarly, you can use a session to give healing to a situation - even a world situation. However, as with ALL healing work, for your own health you need to keep primary focus on healing yourself, so any work on healing others or 'the world' needs to be kept to a quite small proportion of the total that you do.

• Where is it best to do Tonglen Breathing?
  Anywhere! Indeed, the more flexible you are about where you do it, the more effective and less ungrounding it would be for you. For me, a particular favourite is to do it at times during walks or hikes out in the wilds (actually while walking - not sitting down and 'getting formal' about it). On the other hand, you can do it even when you're in bed. I don't recommend the latter as a general thing, but there can be times when in the middle of the night a particular issue comes to mind or is forced upon you by dark force or 'entity' interferences (e.g. an attack or some night terror visuals), or something in a particular dream has disturbed you, and it would make great sense to use Tonglen Breathing right there and then to 'zap' the particular issue, so that you can get more peaceful sleep again. You still need to do your end of practice procedure to finish the session off and re-ground your awareness.

  During a hands-on healing session you can at any point use Tonglen Breathing to address a particular issue, and this can be done even while your hands are still on the person. Rather than doing an end-of-practice procedure at the end of the Tonglen breathing then, it makes sense to do that at the end of the overall healing session. Indeed, some benefit can be gained by making an end-of-practice procedure a standard finish to all healing sessions, whether or not Tonglen Breathing is included.

Eight-point eye movements

The basic practice is done with your eyes closed, and involves your successively moving your 'gaze' (under the closed eyelids) from its central resting point at the centre of your field of 'view' to each absolute extremity in the eight main directions, and back to the resting point before moving to the next. Those extremity points can be 'visited' in any sequence, as long as none is repeated until all have been 'visited' - so, to avoid confusion you need to settle on a specific sequence and keep to it - but, on the face of it, in terms of effectiveness it doesn't matter what the sequence is.

In my experience, the most effective and comfortable way to do these is to do the movements from the centre to one extreme, then in a straight line to the opposite extreme and then returning to the centre each time. Like this there are just four main lines to 'trace' with your eyes - the two diagonals and vertical and horizontal. The order in which you do them doesn't matter as long as you stick to one sequence so that you are cycling through them and not repeating anything within individual cycles.

Generally speaking, you repeat this sequence a number of times in a session, but even one instance of that sequence fitted into an odd moment is highly beneficial.

This practice came to me from Stephen and Lynda Kane, in a specific form that they called Dyana Eye Weaving, which gave a specific sequence for the eye movements. Because of the 'copyright' issue that they were making with me about what they regard as 'their' methods, I'm not giving that precise sequence here, but of course you may discover it for yourself.

* I would remind, however, that to my best understanding, methods themselves are not subject to copyright - only particular descriptions of them would be.

The primary purpose of this practice is to strengthen and activate particular 'energy' pathways that are responsible for grounded (i.e. healthy) non-physical energy awareness. Ongoing use of this practice is claimed to steadily increase your grounded energy awareness and makes energy testing become more reliable and decreasingly prone to any sort of interference from the dark force or entities*, and assists you towards direct energy sensing, which in many (but not all) situations would be a more convenient replacement for testing (though energy testing is still needed as a backup for the more important tests). It also makes it increasingly easy to distinguish between genuine answers or 'readings' and any interference.

* I should point out here, however, that I personally seem to have just as much dark force interference in my energy testing as ever, despite at least twice-a-day sessions of this practice - apart from in my use of a particular testing method using the sensation at the tops of the ear pinnae, which has always seemed to be pretty clear of such interference. 

On the other hand my repeated checks on eight-point eye movements with energy testing always give me a clear 'strengthening' response to my continuing to use the practice, so it must be doing something beneficial for me. My current understanding is that this is because I was very much mixing up 'mental testing' and 'deep level awareness testing'**, and it is the mental testing (which I was mostly using) that is so very prone to dark force interference, and it is actually primarily the deep level awareness testing that is improved by the eight-point eye movements. That helps underline the importance of keeping a clear distinction and separation between those two modes of energy testing.

** These are explained in the Energy Testing Guide.

Also, I'm aware that the eight-point eye movements are an excellent training in grounding my visual awareness when my eyes are closed, particularly when the eye movements are done slowly and deliberately as described a little further below - and that is helpful for becoming increasingly able to stop in their tracks any assaults with night hell (aka night terrors) visuals or any other types of unwanted visual images.

As to the number of times to repeat the sequence, there is no specific maximum or minimum; anything from about 5 to 12 or so seems reasonable. However, I do caution about one thing. It is very important NOT to deliberately go for so-called sacred numbers in your number of repeats, because of their connection in the human consciousness with the dark force. There's no problem with the numbers in themselves, so they don't need to be actually avoided, but the problems come when the numbers are deliberately chosen for their supposedly having some special significance. When you do that you slightly increase the hold of the dark force upon you. The numbers that are particularly worth not treating as special are 9 (especially), 7 and even 3, and multiples (including squares or cubes) of any of these.

You can do this practice while sitting, lying or even standing (though would you normally be standing with your eyes shut?). You can do it when you've just got into bed, and I think some people find it helpful for getting speedily to sleep. I personally find it a bit distracting when used in the latter situation, so I do it actually while doing my 4-times-a-day lie-downs on the floor, which I do nominally as part of my application of the Alexander Technique.

Optimizing the practice's effectiveness

For optimal execution of the practice,

• You have the tip of your tongue to your palate.
• Although not actually specifically part of the eight-point eye movements practice as such, if all the eye movements are done slowly and deliberately, so that (with your eyes still closed) you clearly 'see' every bit of each linear route that the eye movements follow, you are effectively doing an additional practice, which has benefits of its own.
• You are looking at the inside of your eyelids during all the eye movements and ignoring any images that may appear (without actually trying to make them go away).
• You slightly force the eye movements at the end of travel (e.g. when you look top right, you force your eyes just slightly more still in that direction before returning). This is a little uncomfortable but considerably increases the effectiveness of the practice, and doesn't have any sort of deleterious effect - at least, for me.
  Indeed, it is best of all if, at each of the extreme positions you not only slightly force the eyes that little bit further, but also, with your intent you actually look even a little further along than your eyes have travelled.
• As far as possible you do NOT move your head with the eye movements, so that only the eyes move. You may well find it impossible not to move your head a bit (as has been the case for me!), but at least you can seek to minimize your head movements. Even just having the intention that your head be still and only the eyes move (while being peacefully aware of any head movements that are occurring) makes quite a big positive difference to the effectiveness of the practice.
• Ideally you are simultaneously doing complete breathing (not power breathing). However, I myself have so far found myself unable to concentrate on the eye movements and complete breathing at the same time, so I don't know how practical this would be for anyone.

An enhancement of the practice for Energy Egg users

You hold one end of your Energy Egg to your mid-brow position while you carry out the eye movements. At the end you use the Energy Egg for a close-of-practice procedure, in the manner already described. All done!

Expanding the scope of the practice's effectiveness

This is a new intimation that I've gained from my inner inquiry, and thus is best seen as particularly experimental, but my indications are now that you can use a simple procedure to make the eye movements speed up the dissolution of the 'energy' pathways that enable the dark force to distort or amplify particular sensory experiences that you have. The dark force regularly magnifies pain and indeed causes minor discomforts often to be perceived as quite troublesome pains, and it also can distort smells and enormously amplify and distort certain elements of the background 'noise' in one's auditory system and make it be perceived as troublesome tinnitus.

According to my new understanding, what you can do to speed up the clearance of such nuisances is to use a specific declaration of intent (DOI) immediately before your session of the eye movements. Most people would need to repeat the DOI either before each session or, if they are having more than one session in a day, to make it daily, immediately before one of the day's sessions. The DOI is as follows, and, for best effectiveness, needs to be read in the manner described for reading the affirmations, which you can access from The Guide to Complete Self Actualization.

I affirm my intent that when I am carrying out the eight-point eye movements they are bringing about the dissolution of all pathways for astrally sourced distortion and amplification of my sensory experiences, including but not limited to what I feel, hear, smell, taste, see, or sense in any other manner, and including all internally sourced sensory experiences such as visual and auditory background 'noise' and their extensions into tinnitus and visual disturbances such as migraine auras - and that this dissolution is proceeding as speedily as can be.

Reading of this DOI is by far the most effective when used in conjunction with a suitable stone sphere, which greatly assists you in gaining maximum focus and intensity of your intent.

A special application of this practice - for night hells (night terrors) and related 'dark' or hallucinatory displays

Displays of night hell (aka night terror) material - whether experienced as standard night hells or as 'dark' or hallucinatory displays by night or day - are caused by the dark force and would not occur if the person's awareness were sufficiently grounded. The weakness of grounding of the person's awareness has caused their awareness spontaneously to open into the astral sub-reality of illusion and delusion, and the dark force then has exploited the situation. This practice assists the person greatly with this problem in two related ways:

• It's immediately grounding, provided that the person carries out the movements with full and deliberate awareness, does not go flicking the eyes or hurrying the practice, and is consistently looking at the inside of the eyelids and ignoring any images that may appear or be swirling around;

• As already noted, ongoing use of the practice progressively is claimed to strengthen the 'energy' pathways that enable you to distinguish between grounded and ungrounded perceptions and indeed to spontaneously keep to grounded perceptions except in the event of your deliberately choosing to look into the astral sub-reality (for most people there would almost certainly never be good cause to do that).

The best way of using the practice when a night-hell-type of display (or indeed any sort of visual display that is not simply physical vision or something organically derived such as a migraine aura) has arisen, is NOT to avoid the display altogether, because you need to work with full awareness of what you are doing. Trying to escape from the display altogether is unaware behaviour which would obstruct your cultivating the grounded awareness which would clear this issue.

So, what I recommend is to look at the display for a few seconds - and to look with attention to detail and really see what's being shown to you, but merely as an observer, remembering that it's just a display, never mind what nasty feelings you may be having (almost certainly an attack from the dark force and not a genuine emotional response of your own) - and then to let go of it and carry out the eye movements practice for anything from one to ten repetitions. No need to count the repetitions - just do what seems comfortable for you and seems to have disrupted and more or less stopped the display. Then, in the event of the display recurring you repeat the practice.

Often just one or two short sessions of the practice done like that will be enough to stop the display for the time being, but in the case of more intrusive and persistent displays you may need to repeat this quite a number of times. In this event I recommend doing just one or two repetitions of the practice each time, to avoid fatigue of the eye muscles.

If you make a point of using this practice every day, whether or not you are getting the display then, you will be making yourself progressively more resistant to unhelpful dark force sourced perceptions generally, including night-hell-type displays.

This is thus an extremely important practice for anyone who is experiencing supposed mental illness and 'psychosis' resulting from drugs such as cannabis - for the major part of what such people are experiencing comes from the drug-related ungrounding of their awareness and their consequent opening to the astral sub-reality.

On the other hand, more recently I found I could stop nigh hell visuals with much less effort and distraction by simply focusing my attention on the insides of my eyelids without recourse to specific eye movements. This effectively grounds my visual awareness and so immediately tunes me out of the astral sub-reality and all its 'video nasties' which include all types of night hell visuals. Although doing this doesn't have the cumulative healing effects of using the eye movements practice, it can be helpful where, as in my case, the eye movements tend themselves to be a distraction from getting to sleep.

An intensifier for nearly all practices / procedures

For all the practices / procedures that involve extra-complete or power breathing, you can give them an extremely helpful final 'push', as follows.

At the point where you would otherwise finish and move on to the close-of-practice procedure, you do a further inhalation through your nostrils to the point of slight straining, with tip of tongue to your palate, and then, with the lungs maximally full and the tongue still to the palate, rapidly deliver two loud claps with your hands. That's it! You can then relax, for the practice has finished, and so the exhalation then doesn't need to be controlled. You then pass on to the close-of-practice procedure.

Writhing-stretching - for late-stages 'mopping up'

In its most natural form, writhing-stretching is more a process or 'thing that happens' rather than a 'practice' or 'procedure'. However, I have found a way of intensifying it by making it into a more formal vigorous yogic practice, and in this form it may be of benefit to some people who would not at this stage get into spontaneous writhing-stretching.

Writhing-stretching is really a natural release process, in the same category as emotional release processes such as crying, trembling, laughing, and ordinary yawning and stretching. Indeed, it is really an advanced development or extension of ordinary yawning and stretching, but is apparently virtually universally not known about.

People generally inhibit ordinary yawning and stretching at least to some extent, and indeed distort it when it is allowed to manifest at all. It is actually a natural and essential part of one's healing and indeed everyday self maintenance, and so needs to be very much encouraged and generally extended beyond what you may feel is proper or 'appropriate'. You need to allow yourself to yawn frequently, and fully openly, really stretching the mouth and lips wide open to their fullest possible extent (with a sense of complete enjoyment and not the slightest hint of apology for it - and no sighed "Oh dear"!), and to make a real thing of stretching every part of your body that is possible to stretch, and in every possible direction, that is achievable without serious risk of doing yourself undue pain or 'a mischief'.

What I am calling writhing-stretching is, as I say, a development / extension from ordinary yawning and stretching, and, as far as I can ascertain, cannot occur in a more or less spontaneous manner until you have cleared out a considerable proportion of the emotional issues that you had been carrying, including any belonging to attached lost souls and any other entities (by which time you would presumably be free of those entities). Once you are thus sufficiently free of emotional issues from any source, it becomes possible for an essential inner 'freeing up' process to occur, and this is 'spearheaded' by the essential physical process of writhing-stretching.

I had not read nor heard anywhere about this writhing-stretching prior to its starting to happen to me a few months into 2009. I had always been ready to yawn and stretch very thoroughly, but now what I found happening was that when I stretched my arms above my head, this triggered a deep physical urge to 'writhe-stretch' my arms, my shoulders and my torso, also doing so as much as could be managed by my legs, and keep this up for anything up from a few seconds to about half a minute. This is energetic, especially with the rotational writhings of the shoulders and sort of undulatory writhe-stretchings of the torso. The torso undulations might appear superficially to be a sort of energetic copulatory movement, but there is absolutely no sexual or erotic aspect of this happening at all - and for me this is particularly notable, because the dark force would link it to sexual arousal if it possibly could, but at least so far I have not experienced even the slightest trace of that.

Although writhing-stretching occurs most effectively when standing, it is best done also when sitting and indeed when lying on your back. At all times you allow your breaths to occur as your body wills, with no inhibitions - exhaling freely through the mouth, which, if it's being properly allowed, would give out bright and very positive sounding sighs and even at times near-bellows (but generally not greatly loud). Some individuals might have a 'showing off' pattern of seeking to make a loud noise, and that would need interrupting, though the best approach there would be to use Grounding Post, to 'zap' any illusory reality underlying such a pattern. If you just go suppressing loud sound production you may well end up suppressing what you do actually need to be doing.

You don't need specific instructions for spontaneous writhing-stretching, for when you are ready for it, as long as you encourage and allow it, you own body will lead the way. Typically, it would occur when you start what you may expect to be a perfectly ordinary stretch. 

My own inner inquiry points to writhing-stretching resulting in a progressive deep freeing up - a shaking off of the shackles of all manner of residual patterns of feeling, thought and outlook. First one needs to have cleared the garbage - the emotional issues and significant dark force and entity interferences that had been the 'substance' of the patterns. After all that the patterns are all weakened (to varying extents depending on each particular pattern), but they are all still to some extent present in your brain and nervous system connections. That's where writhing-stretching comes in, and this is why a physical process is required to assist their clearance, and you'd get nowhere by expecting, say, some healing device to do it all for you.

My own experience is that concurrently with my doing writhing-stretching several times per day, my sense of really stable inner clarity, vibrant happiness and freedom has been increasing dramatically, also with the dark force intrusions seeming still less and less consequential. I feel dramatically much more to be a truly self actualized person, despite any (now completely futile) attempts by the dark force to hide that.

Although, as far as I can tell, real writhing-stretching is specific to people who are very advanced in the clearance of their emotional issues and entity attachments, I do not mean this in a restrictive elitist way, and would encourage anyone to be open to the possibility of at least a bit of it happening for them. Any hint of it, if occurring naturally, 'from within', would be greatly helpful.

If you simply 'do' writhing-stretching without being ready for it to happen naturally (i.e. you force a simulation of it by 'going through the motions'), a small amount of benefit would most likely be gained, BUT that may be outweighed by the negative, awareness limiting effects of the operation of the end-gaining 'doing' mentality, which is particularly associated with people who still have soul programming. Generally speaking, this sort of thing needs to be encouraged and allowed to occur naturally and not to be 'done' as a simulation. Indeed, if you 'do' it like that you may well be simply deceiving yourself that you are much more advanced than you really are in your clearance process - something the dark force and any soul programming that you carry would tend to encourage. That would be a serious obstacle to your self actualization process.

Having given that general caveat, however, I now proceed to the formalization of the writhing-stretching process into an actual yogic practice.

Writhing-stretching - a yogic equivalent

This is much more simple to carry out than may appear from the description.

• Stand with your feet something like 30 cm (1 foot) apart and more or less parallel and aligned, though in a relaxed way, without getting very fussy about it.

• Allow yourself to yawn and stretch very thoroughly and openly, acting into it if necessary to break through any inhibiting patterns, and stretch your arms as hard as you can above your head, and, while stretching them thus, start moving them simultaneously, so that your hands, with fingers splayed out, are synchronously describing circles initially above your head or shoulders - the right one moving in a clockwise manner (as you look up at it) and the left one doing a synchronized counter-clockwise mirror image of that.

• Allow those circles to expand and move out and downwards, out at your sides, your arms still energetically stretched out and your fingers splayed out. This necessitates a major rotational movement of your shoulders, and now you increase that shoulder movement.

• Rather than repeat that circle with arms stretched out laterally, you continue the movement, now worked in a very energetic fashion from your shoulders, with your arms bent and fore-arms moving in front of you almost as though you were swimming using the breast stroke, with your fingers now still well separated but not splayed out, and slightly bent, as though scooping the air from in front of you out to both sides. However, the emphasis here is not really on what the hands are doing, but on the vigorous rotational movement of the shoulders, which very powerfully leads the 'action' here. That rotational movement is clockwise for your right shoulder, as you look in that direction, and thus your left shoulder, working synchronously with it, appears to be moving anti-clockwise if you look in that direction. Your legs are slightly bent at this stage, and you now control your breathing, doing complete breathing, but inhaling through your nostrils and exhaling through almost closed lips with a 'Pffffffffff' sound.

• Allow this 'breast stroke' movement to become briefly as big and vigorous as you can sensibly take, always sourcing the movement from the rotational movement of the shoulders, your hands NOT leading the movements but being directed really by the shoulder rotations.

• As soon as your shoulder blade muscles start to feel fatigued, or you otherwise sense that the 'steam' has gone out of that session, at the next 'empty' point in your breathing cycle, stop the movements and hold your hands close in front of your lower chest region and pointing upward, with fingers together and the tips of corresponding fingers of the two hands touching but the hands otherwise being apart and thus describing a very acute 'roof' shape (as used in the close-of-practice procedure when you don't have an Energy Egg). Simultaneously you are breathing in through your nostrils, and at full-to-straining point you rapidly deliver two loud hand-claps, as close to each other as you can manage.

• For best results, then carry out your chosen end of practice procedure.

Actually, although I've given here a specific movement to begin this practice, really the important thing is not what your initial movements are, but simply that you start with a very vigorous yawning and stretching and allow / encourage that to transform into the particular rotational movement of the shoulders. The details of how you make that transition are not all that important, and indeed I myself often do it differently, and it varies from session to session.
