BIO-ENERGIES

By Walter Last

This section deals mainly with the non-physical energies, variously called life-force, bio-
energy, prana, chi, ki, orgone energy, od, and many other names. It is this energy level
that we most easily see as the innermost aura around living objects or that we
sometimes feel as various sensations such as heat or tingling in our body, especially
when transferring energy as with 'laying on of hands' or Reiki. It is also the energy that
fuels our sexuality and that we feel most strongly during orgasm.

This energy circulates in our acupuncture system and its vortexes form our chakra
system. It is not only at the base of most paranormal or psychic phenomena, but is also
the healing agent of many natural therapies. Homeopathy can only be understood as a
bio-energy phenomenon that is why it is so fiercely rejected by conventional medicine.
While bio-energy is still unknown to orthodox science, it is an everyday experience of
many sensitive individuals.

Bio-energies are part of the vast range of etheric energy. Just as electromagnetic
energies have a wide range of wavelengths or frequencies, so also have the etheric
energies. On one side of their spectrum they border on the electromagnetic spectrum
while on the other side they merge into the emotional energies. Furthermore, as visible
light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so the bio-energy that we use as life force
in our body is part of the etheric spectrum.

A relatively easy way to learn feeling bio-energy is to shake the body and especially the
arms and hands rapidly for about a minute together with deep and fast breathing and
then stop suddenly. Remain completely still with the arms slightly raised in front of your
abdomen or chest as if holding a large beach ball. Concentrate on the sensation in your
hands and arms.

For an excellent site on the orgone energy research of Wilhelm Reich as well as links to
other bio-energy sites see the Public Orgonomic Research Exchange (PORE) at
http://orgone.org/ or see the writings of Wilhelm Reich. In 1957 the FDA burned six tons
of his books, and he died in a federal jail for his bio-energy work.

In addition to food and air, we need a balanced intake of electromagnetic energies.

These include sunlight, colors, the Earth's magnetic field and the electric field between
the ionosphere and the ground.

ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGIES
Electricity - Minimize Pollution
Strong electromagnetic fields of about 50 to 60 cycles per second (hertz, or Hz) are
harmful to us. These fields exist around power lines, power tools, electric stoves,
heaters, boilers, freezers and television sets when in use, extending several feet or
yards around the appliance. Stay away from them if possible.

Try to minimize electromagnetic pollution, especially while sleeping when the pineal
gland is most susceptible and sleep in the dark or at least cover your eyes to produce
the immune-stimulating hormone melatonin. Switch off al power points and unplug all
electric leads with 2-prong plugs in the bedroom before going to sleep, watch that there
are no live electric wires inside the wall near the head and try to sleep with the head in a
northerly direction or otherwise towards the east.

Some dowsers claim to have discovered harmful earth rays from fault lines and
underground streams under the beds of most cancer victims. Try to find someone who
is able to check the location of your bed for harmful underground radiation, even if you
sleep on an upper floor.

For more information on electromagnetic pollution and how you can protect yourself see
the article Electromagnetic Pollution.

The DC Field of the Earth

We live in a natural DC field. The surface of the Earth has a negative electric charge
and the ionosphere a positive charge of about 50,000 volts. (However, the electric
currents involved are extremely small.) Near the surface, the voltage differs greatly. It is
highest on mountains and in dry conditions where it can reach 1000 volts per meter,
while in low-lying and moist conditions it falls to below 50 volts. Populations with
exceptionally long life spans always seem to live in the mountains, such as in the
Andes, the Himalayas and the Caucasus.

In buildings with roofs of metal or steel-reinforced concrete, the field is near zero. There
may even be counter-fields caused by the static electricity of plastic materials and
synthetic carpets. Even worse are houses that have metal walls as well; whether they
are of corrugated iron, coating or insulation material with aluminum, wire mesh or
reinforced concrete. Getting fresh air through open windows will improve the condition
to some extent.

In a high-DC field our wellbeing and mental abilities are increased, while in a low field
we easily become fatigued and our concentration suffers. Electrodes that produce a
field of 1000-2000 volts inside offices and houses have been used with good results in
Germany. If you are living in a conventional modern house, it would be preferable to
have at least the bedroom or sleeping place free of shielding metals or possibly sleep in
summer on the veranda. This is especially important someone with a serious chronic
disease. Another effect of the DC field is a possible imbalance in the ion distribution in
our body when habitually wearing shoes with rubber soles. Walking barefoot, especially
on fresh or moist grass, on the other hand, allows our inner polarity to readjust itself.
The Earth's Magnetic Field

The magnetic field of the Earth is about 0.5 gauss. It has been much higher in the past
and is presently still decreasing. Generally, life forms are bigger, more vital and longer
living in a stronger magnetic field. Most people will find it best to sleep with the head in a
northerly direction, while an easterly direction is sometimes beneficial; facing towards
the west, however, is often weakening. In the southern hemisphere try also sleeping
with the head to the south. Experiment to find your best direction.

SUNLIGHT

On the level of energies, sunlight is our primary source of life and provides a
combination of bio-energy and electromagnetic energies. Light to moderate sun
exposure is beneficial. Except in winter do not sunbathe during the hours around
midday. Preferably expose your whole body as often as possible for a few minutes to
the early morning or late afternoon sun. This may be in the garden, on the veranda or
even inside a room with an open window. In addition, it is beneficial to sit lightly clothed
in the half-shade as for instance under a tree. We absorb the bio-energies of the
sunlight through our clothing.

While short exposure to the sun is invigorating, long sunbathing is exhausting. In

addition, long sunbathing ages the skin and may cause skin cancer, especially at the
beach. It may also cause an over activity of the parathyroid glands. Vitamin
supplements can protect us from these dangers. In addition to PABA and other B
vitamins we need plenty of antioxidants, bioflavonoids and carotenoids as sun
protection. Except for zinc cream or a solution of PABA, I am not in favor of using
sunscreen lotions; instead use suitable clothing for protection as required. Sunscreens
contain unbiological chemicals, and it has been reported that most commercial
sunscreens kill skin cells and so may inflict long-term skin damage.

Research shows that there is a strong negative correlation between available sunlight
and breast cancer death rates, that is living in a sunny area is associated with lower
cancer rates. Even skin cancer is inhibited by regular low-level sun exposure; only
sunburn is a strong skin cancer promoter. It has been stated that trends in the
epidemiological literature suggest that approximately 30,000 U.S. cancer deaths yearly
could be averted by the widespread public use of regular mild sun exposure. A study on
electricity workers showed that those with the most sun exposure had the lowest rates
of skin cancer and melanoma and vice versa. Other studies show a strong link between
long-term exposure to fluorescent lighting and melanoma. Melanoma often occurs on
areas of the skin that had not been exposed to sunlight.

Sensitive individuals, especially with low blood pressure and lack of energy, usually
tending towards food allergies and chemical sensitivities, should expose themselves to
the full sunlight only for very short periods; preferable is semi-shade as under a tree.
Insensitive individuals, on the other hand, with insensitive skin and often high blood
pressure, benefit from a longer exposure that tends to sensitize them.
In addition to the skin, the eyes are important entrance points for sun-energy. J. N. OTT
(Health and Light, Pocket Books) demonstrated with his research how important it is for
us to get the full spectrum of the sunlight into our eyes. This is not the case if we sit
behind windows or wear glasses. These filter out essential frequencies of the ultra-violet
part of the spectrum.

Deficiency of this ultraviolet radiation caused by our living behind glass is a contributing
factor in the development of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer and
leukemia, eye diseases, hyperactivity and sexual problems. These harmful effects are
reinforced if the glass is inappropriately tinted, in this way blocking out a part of the
visible spectrum as well.

OTT demonstrated that the primary effect of light entering our eyes is on the endocrine
glands of the brain. He also showed that colored lights have a strong influence on the
ratio of male to female offspring when breeding animals. Especially bad are most kinds
of fluorescent lighting, more so if they have a pink hue. Even more harmful is light from
the color screens of television sets and monitors. This effect is due to the artificial
composition of these colors and in addition to any radiation dangers.

However, if one has sensitive eyes, one should continue to wear sunglasses if the light
is very strong and glaring and only gradually reduce their use when the eyes improve.
The best sunglasses, if required, are of a special composition of gray so that they
reduce the intensity of all colors to the same degree. Most plastics, by the way, do not
screen out the ultraviolet rays, in this way one obtains the full sunlight by living behind
clear plastic windows. However, a disadvantage of this is that one can get sunburned
behind plastic windows.

Lack of sunlight in winter or if we are bedridden makes us susceptible to depression.

One can cure this so-called seasonal affective disorder by looking into a bright light in
the morning, preferably sunlight or otherwise with the full daylight spectrum.

Sunlight is also required to convert cholesterol into vitamin D. Multiple sclerosis is

inversely related to the amount of sunshine in the region, the closer to the equator, the
lower the incidence of it. This is similar to the rate of cancer that also declines the closer
we get to the equator. Another important aspect of sunlight is our indirect intake of it in
the form of sun-drenched fruits and vegetables. Such foods absorb bio-energy as well
as light frequencies from the sun, but these beneficial energies are gradually lost if
these foods are stored in the dark. In this case it is beneficial to expose them again to
sunshine for a short period before eating.

Colored Light

Exposing ourselves to light of a certain color has a definite effect on our emotions as
well as on our physical body. The most balanced color is green and looking over green
meadows and at the green of trees has a balancing effect on body and mind.
Blue and red, on the other hand, are the main opposites that may be used adjust the
body if it is severely out of balance. Red and especially orange are used for stimulation
when we are fatigued and need strength. Too much of it, however, will make us nervous
and irritable. Blue, of course, is sedating, even more so than green, not only for the
mind but also for the body if there is pain, fever or inflammation.

There are many different ways in which we can treat ourselves with colors. The most
natural way is to look at distinctive colors in our surroundings. In addition to looking at
meadows and trees for their balancing green, we can look for long periods at the blue
sky to gain peace and quiet. For stimulation, on the other hand, we may focus on a red
rose or any other red flower bathed in the sunshine.

Another possibility is to paint or wallpaper our room in appropriate colors and to pay
attention to the colors of carpets and curtains. Then we may select suitab1e colors for
our clothing. Usually we express through the colors of our dress our inner feeling at the
time, for instance dressing in black or gray if we are depressed, thereby reinforcing the-
negative mood. However, if we want to improve our emotional condition, we should
select the opposite color to our negative feeling. To ward off depression, for instance,
we should wear pink or another bright and stimulating color.

Furthermore, we may use differently colored light bulbs or colored lampshades or we

may use colored cellophane. However, most one-sided color exposure should be only
temporary for as long as it has a beneficial effect on our condition. Too much blue, for
instance, can push a susceptible individual from being peaceful to becoming depressed.

Generally, it is best to use a mixture of colors inside the house and for our clothing with
possibly one dominant color that balances our basic condition.

BIO-ENERGY
Bio-energy is the basis of all biological manifestations. It is also called prana, ki or chi,
od, orgone, ether, bio-plasma or simply life-force. Our main intake of this life energy is
through the chakra system, breathing, food, sunshine and energy transfer from other
people. In the air it is commonly called prana or orgone, while within our body we
usually refer to it as bio-energy, for the Chinese it is also the chi that circulates in the
acupuncture meridians.

Bio-energy generally appears as a bluish-gray haze; its movement is slow and wavelike;
it can be accumulated and conducted by organic material and water, and it can be
separated into two opposites with a bluish and a red-yellow color.

Our physical body is permeated with bio-energy: part of this energy circulates through
the acupuncture meridians while the surplus radiates out, forming an etheric field, or the
inner aura, and protecting us from harmful environmental radiation or microbes. Within
the body, the bio-energy forms a blueprint that guides the growth and maintenance of all
body structure. It is the 'glue' that holds the cells together, and it is also the 'energy of
organization'. Clairvoyant psychics see that in deep sleep our bio-energy body our
etheric body tends to float in a horizontal position over the physical body in order to
become recharged with etheric energy.

Acupuncture-points are like transformers or inflow points of bio-energy from the

meridians into the tissue structure. If this flow along a meridian and into the muscles is
blocked, a limb becomes lifeless and paralyzed, even if the blood circulation and nerve
impulses are intact. We can direct and modify this stream of bio-energy with our mind in
order to heal ourselves. Generally, we may increase our inner reservoir of bio-energy by
living in an area with a high environmental potential of bio-energy. We can find this
where there is plenty of sunshine, abundant vegetation, especially trees, and an
elevated position - ideally a tree-clad hilltop or mountain plateau in the subtropics. The
air is low in bio-energy on rainy days and at night.

Life-Fields

In 1973 researchers at the University of Los Angeles succeeded in replicating a Russian

experiment in which the cut off part of a leaf was still faintly visible with Kirlian (high-
frequency) photography. This may be regarded as the first visible scientific proof of the
existence of an aura around living objects. Before that Professor Harold Saxton Burr
had measured the electric fields around living things and shown that these 'L-fields'
(short for 'Life-Fields) pre-exist and guide the development of the related entity. He
wrote the book Fields of Life (Ballantine).
Fig. 1: Kirlian Photograph of a leaf after part of the right side has been cut off.
(The faint outline of the whole leaf is still visible at the missing part).

Bio-Energy in Healing

I believe very much in prana, bio-energy or life-energy as a major factor in healing

despite the denial of its existence by orthodox medicine. Chances of recovery are
greatly increased by being regularly exposed to high concentrations of prana.

Wilhelm Reich in his book The Cancer Biopathy describes his research into the effect of
prana on cancer development and treatment. He shows how cancer cells originate from
body cells that are deficient in prana and how cancer cells are destroyed by blood cells
that are highly charged with prana.

Prana is high in green surroundings and especially tree-clad hilltops and mountains. It is
high in the air on sunny days but low on dull days or at night. It is exceptionally
concentrated in rainwater collected after a heavy shower on a sunny day. Use such
highly charged rainwater for washing and drinking. In polluted areas purify it with a jug-
type carbon filter before ingestion. In addition, fresh rainwater and especially from
thunderstorms, has a beneficial negative electric charge, but this is discharged and lost
if the rainwater comes in contact with a metal.

Prana is much enriched in cascading sunlit streams and even in artificial sunlit
cascades. Water can also be improved by exposing it to sunlight before use. Fresh fruit
and vegetables stored in the dark and especially in a refrigerator become much
healthier if exposed to sunlight before eating.

Revitalizing may be the most important task with chronic diseases and especially with
cancer and for rejuvenation. Healthy blood charged with bio-energy readily destroys
cancer cells and disease germs. Methods to vitalize are the use of fresh raw juices,
walking barefoot on dewy grass, deep breathing exercises, meditation, energy healing
and cultivation, also devices such as magnets, cones and pyramids.

Freshly cut grass emits a strong radiation of bio-energy. In a similar way, a 'hay cure'
was formerly used with good results as a folk remedy for many diseases. The patient
was immersed for hours in freshly cut hay or sometimes in fresh leaves. Kirlian
photography shows that cut leaves and grasses lose most of their prana within a few
hours. This outpouring energy can be used to radiate a tumor or a weak organ with a
strong charge of prana by keeping a pack of freshly cut grass over the area in contact
with the skin. The pack should be renewed every few hours.

Morning dew on fresh grass is another source of highly concentrated prana. Walk on it
barefoot for 10-20 minutes, rub the dew with your hands onto your bare skin all over the
body or if warm enough even roll with bare skin in the dewy grass. When walking
barefoot on green grass psychics can see an expansion of the aura.
It is equally important to conserve our bio-energy by living in or visiting surroundings
high in bio-energy, generally those in sunny locations and with luxurious plant growth,
but also in the mountains or at the seashore. Some individuals claim to have lived on
prana in the mountains but that would not normally be possible in a city. Males lose
much bio-energy through ejaculation and should minimize such loss in case of cancer,
AIDS and other debilitating diseases. Instead they may try Karezza-type (caressing with
slow movements) lovemaking.

Basically there are 5 main sources of bio-energy:

1. The recharging of our etheric body during deep sleep;

2. through ingesting fresh raw food, juices and charged water;
3. breathing prana-rich air;
4. through meditation and guided imagery;
5. stepped-down energy entering directly through the chakra system, especially the
crown chakra.

A high body charge of prana, visible to psychics as a strong and clear aura, is a main
requirement for overcoming chronic diseases. Therefore, improve your changes of
recovery by exposing yourself to high concentrations of prana in any or several of these
indicated ways. If you have the opportunity, visit also known ancient or natural power
spots or high-energy areas.

However, there is also bad, negative and potentially dangerous bio-energy. This is
associated with diseased and polluted conditions, also with radioactivity. It appears that
healthy bio-energy is moving or spinning at a certain frequency. When bio-energy
stagnates, as with energy blocks in our body, it becomes more dense and with a slower
vibration or spin. This negative energy not only acts to maintain a diseased state, it may
also be absorbed by an unsuspecting healer and then cause health problems in his or
her body.

Flowing water is a great cleanser and may be used in different way to remove negative
energy. In addition to recharging our energies, walking on green grass, especially when
moist, is a great cleanser. It helps to draw out stagnant bio-energy and static electricity
and may balance our internal ion distribution.

Vivaxis Energies

Vivaxis is a term coined by Frances Nixon for etheric energy beams that link us to
specific locations. The most important one of these is our birth vivaxis, linking us to key
energy points near the place of our birth in a two-way circuit. Perhaps migrating birds
and insects find their distant destinations by being able to sense and follow these
vivaxis beams. This would also explain how dogs sometimes cover hundreds of miles of
unknown territory to unexpectedly turn up at their owner's house. In addition, there are
Earth beams circling our planet. These contain the frequencies of all the elements
necessary for life and are related to our individual energy fields by our vivaxis energies.
Health problems may arise if our energy absorption from these essential energy beams
is disturbed. This may happen as a general planetary condition after nuclear testing or,
on a more individual scale, if we live in dwellings encased by metal (for example,
aluminum coating or insulation, steel-reinforced concrete, wire mesh). Furthermore, our
internal energy receptors may become disturbed after exposure to X-rays or other
strong electromagnetic radiation, by wrongly applied strong magnets, prolonged mental
stress, by marijuana, vibrating tools, infrasonic waves, environmental imbalances,
pesticides as well as toxic chemicals in various drugs, foods and cosmetics.

Foreign vivaxes to which we may become linked can be created by hypnotism, strong
magnets, electrical acupuncture treatment and pulse-wave machines, accidentally
received electric shocks, and even contact healing and reflexology and acupressure,
especially if a therapist exerts strong pressure, on bilateral points. Some of these
foreign vivaxes can disturb our natural-force flows before they gradually disappear. On
a certain energy level we seem to remain linked to everyone whom we ever touched.

CULTIVATING THE ENERGY

For increasing or maintaining our health and vitality it is advisable to work directly with
our life-force, cultivating it as the Chinese masters say. There are two main aspects to
this energy cultivation. First we learn to accumulate bio-energy or prana and then we
practice circulating it through our body. Our main energy intake and distribution system
is the chakra system. Chakras are comparable to major power stations while the
acupuncture meridians may be seen as the main power transmission lines.

THE CHAKRA SYSTEM Fig. 2: The Main Chakras

Chakras are vortex-like energy centers. Commonly
seven major chakras are mentioned, six of which
are rooted in the spine and one at the top of the
head. We receive a main intake of chakra energies
through the crown chakra from where it flows from
one chakra to the other, being modified, used and
condensed, and finally flows through the
acupuncture meridians which, in turn, nourish the
internal organs and muscles.

A health problem in a certain area of the body is

usually associated with a disturbed function of the
chakra governing this region. Normalizing and
harmonizing our chakra functions is important for
the healing of specific aspects as well as for
increasing our available energy in general and for
becoming whole and balanced.

Functioning like a prism, the chakra system

separates the incoming white etheric light into the
seven etheric rainbow colors. Each color is of
special importance for the glands and organs
situated near the corresponding chakra. During
meditation and relaxation exercises you may
visualize these glands and organs bathed in their
designated chakra colors.

The characteristics of the seven main chakras can

be seen from the following table. In addition, there
are many more secondary chakras, important are
especially the spleen chakra, one over the thymus
gland and for energy transfer also those in the
palms of the hands. Furthermore, each of the
higher or finer energy bodies, such as the
emotional or astral and the mental body have their
own chakra system with different colors and other
characteristics.

The corresponding chakras in the different bodies are interconnected. The more we
spiritually develop, the greater becomes the exchange of energy between the different
bodies, generally the energy flowing from the finer to the denser bodies. An excellent
set of books on energy healing, energy bodies and the chakra systems are Hands of
Light and Light Emerging by Barbara Ann Brennan (Bantam).

You may experiment with two complementary methods of increasing your energy store.
In one you imagine energy entering through the crown chakra while in the other you
imagine that you retain the prana that you inhale with the air. With some practice you
may even combine both exercises and do them at the same time. The main rule in all of
this is that energy flow follows our awareness and intentions.

Chakra Exercises

Sit or lie in a relaxed position and focus on one chakra at each session. Start with the
crown chakra or crown center. Keep your awareness centered at the top of your head
until you feel a light pressure, warmth, tingling or other sensation developing in that
area. Whatever you can feel, intensify it. However, it is preferable to replace any feeling
of pressure with a feeling of warmth as soon as that can be done in order to avoid an
uncomfortable pressure from building up.

You may also imagine a stream of white light entering the top of the head or you may
visualize an energy vortex in this position. It spins clockwise in the northern hemisphere
and anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. You may combine all or several of these
imaginations and use whatever is most suitable to develop a feeling awareness of this
chakra.
Repeat focusing on the same chakra in subsequent sessions until you can easily feel its
presence. Then move to the forehead chakra. In addition to trying to feel a light
pressure or warmth, it is helpful to close your eyes and focus them as if looking at the
inside of the center between your brows. You may also imagine the white light flowing
into the top of your head where it turns violet and then continues to flow into the
forehead center and illuminates it with an indigo color.

With the throat chakra you may use similar imagery but finally making it a blue color. In
addition you may feel the warmth of your outgoing breath first in your nose and then
transfer this feeling to the throat. Intensify the warmth and combine it with the blue in a
pulsating rhythm.

With the heart chakra also try another method: imagine that your breath moves in and
out the chest through the middle of your chest bone. You can try this imaginary
breathing through skin and bone also with any of the other chakras, it just is easiest to
learn at the heart center.

In this way also learn to feel the lower chakras, the solar plexus, the pubic and the base
chakra. Imagine the base chakra as an energy vortex that points to the base of the
spine. With this, the crown vortex and the base vortex are like an hourglass that is
separated by the length of the spine. All the other chakra vortexes are perpendicular to
the spine. For further information on chakras and energy work see The Love Cure.
Actually the best and safest way of developing the chakra system is by living
appropriately in all life situations with a strong flow of positive feelings related to the
various energy centers.

Storing Prana

To accumulate and store prana from the air, imagine that the inhaled breath consists of
two parts, the physical air molecules as well as the prana. During inhalation the lungs
automatically separate the prana from the air molecules. You only exhale the 'empty' air
while the prana flows to where you lead it with your conscious attention. The body uses
the abdomen with its high water content as a storage reservoir of excess bio-energy.

To energize the abdomen, you imagine and try to feel the breath energy moving directly
into the abdomen during inhalation. When exhaling you imagine that you press the
energy down so that it becomes compressed at the bottom of the abdomen. With each
successive breath more compressed energy accumulates until the target area feels
sufficiently energized. You may feel this as warmth, tingling, pressure or any other
sensation.

If you can visualize colors, you may also try to see the energy being stored as a golden-
yellow fluid that gradually fills the whole abdomen. Initially you may also see it filling the
whole abdomen like a gas with a very faint color that becomes more intense with each
breath. However, it is not enough just to visualize, it is essential also feeling the energy.
Another important consideration is the actual prana content of the air that you breathe.
You gain the most energy when the air is high in prana, such as outdoors in natural
surroundings on a sunny day. However, most of the time you will be doing this exercise
in far less than ideal conditions. Nevertheless, do persevere with it while trying to
maximize the prana in your inhaled air by opening windows, exercising on a sunny day
and minimizing negative elements, such as electromagnetic forces and synthetics in
your room.

In contrast to accumulating prana through breathing, there is no such restriction when

taking in energy through the top of the head, as this comes from another dimensional
level. But as both energies have different frequencies and complement each other, it is
beneficial to work with both methods.

Circulating the Energy

A Chinese exercise to increase our energy and wellbeing is circulating life-force energy
in what is called the microcosmic orbit. Start with accumulating energy either through
the crown center or by condensing breath energy and lead it into the abdomen.

When you have a good feeling sensation of the energy in the abdomen, imagine this
sensation flowing into the pubic center. Intensify the sensation until you can feel the
pubic chakra quite well and then let the energy flow into the perineum and the base of
the spine. Feel the energy there in any way you can, in addition you may envision it
having a red color in this area.

Now imagine a valve opening at the tailbone and with each inhalation you lift part of the
energy to a point in the spine behind the pubic center. When you can feel it well, be it as
pressure, warmth, tingling or any other sensations, lift the energy with your breath to a
point behind the solar plexus center. If you find that you can lift the energy better during
exhalations or by paying no attention to the breath at all, which is fine as well,
experiment and use the method that works best for you.

As you continue to lift the energy to the back of the heart center and then to the back of
the neck you imagine that your spine is a straight hollow tube through which the energy
flows following your intentions. Next concentrate the energy at the back of the head and
finally at the top of the head. Reinforce it with the energy entering the top of the head
and then lead it down into the forehead center. It helps during the whole exercise but
especially at this time to touch the roof of the mouth with the tip of the tongue. This
makes it easier for the energy to flow further down into the blue throat center and then
into the heart center.

To complete the exercise, lead the energy further down into the natural storage area for
excess energy behind the navel. Imagine that it flows towards the center of a spiral
where it is condensed and stored as a ball of energy in the abdomen, ready for future
use. When needed, this energy may be reactivated with your intention and used for
healing yourself or others by directing it with your mind where you want it to go. It may
also be used for tasks with high-energy requirement and is the same energy that
masters of the martial arts aim to cultivate and use.

In addition to circulating the energy in this 'microcosmic orbit' you may sometimes
include the extremities in a so-called 'macrocosmic orbit'. After circulating several times
in the microcosmic orbit stop at the perineum and divert the energy down the back of
the legs. Pause at the back of the knees and try to feel the two smaller energy vortexes
there. Then continue guiding the energy down the back of the calves and around the
outer ankles. Feel another set of minor chakras in the center of the soles of your feet
and finally lead the energy up again along the insides of the legs. Circle around the
knees and back to the perineum to continue the microcosmic orbit.

At the top of the back divide the energy again and lead it under the armpits and down
the inside of the arms. Focus for a moment on the inside of the elbows, then go to the
middle of the palms and feel another pair of minor chakras there. Let the energy flow
out the tips of the fingers and then move up the outside of the arms to reconnect with
the microcosmic orbit where you left it.

When you can readily feel the circulating energy and the various centers on its path,
you may sometimes use a short-form to quickly energize and center yourself. Imagine
the energy entering the top of the head and rapidly jumping down from one center to the
next to the base of the spine. Then with one inhalation lift the energy to the top of the
head and with the next exhalation drop it again down to the base.

Continue to circulate it in this way until you feel energized. You may, of course, switch
the breathing cycle and lift the energy up the spine during exhalation if that suits you
better. In a similar way may you sometimes lead the energy very rapidly around the
macrocosmic with one long exhalation down the legs or arms and with the following
slow inhalation back up again. In all this energy work imagine and feel the energy
moving below the surface of the skin. For detailed instructions on daily practices to
accumulate prana and use it for healing see the books by Mantak Chia such as Awaken
Healing Light of the Tao (Healing Tao Books) or visit www.universal-tao.com.

Energizing the Body

In another method, you imagine your spine to be a hollow tube. While inhaling you
imagine the prana flowing up the tube to the top and during the subsequent exhalation
you let the energy again drop down the spinal tube to the base. Until you are well
advanced in energy works do not more than ten such breathing cycles at any one time.
With all energy exercises involving the spine try to keep it straight, either sitting up
straight (but relaxed) or lying stretched out on the back. However you may practice
these exercises anywhere, anytime, such as when driving or waiting somewhere or
walking or doing housework, the more the better.

Another recommended way of cultivating the inner energies is through slow movements
while focusing on the sensations that the awakened energy flows may produce. This is
done with exercises such as Tai Chi. See also www.falundafa.org for free books and
instructions. However, you may not need to learn the structured Tai Chi sequence and
just experiment with your own slow improvised movements.

Widespread, especially in China, is the practice of Qigong. You draw energy into the
body with a combination of breathing, movements and guided imagery. This is
especially effective if done in an energized outside area such as standing barefoot on
grass, in a park, at the beach or in the mountains. There are many books and websites
giving instructions in Qigong.

A relatively easy way of learning to feel bio-energy is to shake the body and especially
the arms and hands rapidly for about a minute. At the same time breathe deep and fast
and then suddenly stop. Remain completely still with the arms slightly raised in front of
your abdomen or chest as if holding a large beach ball. Concentrate on the sensation in
your hands and arms. Then start slowly moving your arms and your body. Try to
intensify whatever energy sensation you feel. When you can feel the energy strongly,
you may mentally lead it to an area of the body where you have a particular health
problem. Alternatively you may radiate the energy out of the palms of your hands to
where you want to energize yourself. It is good to do this as a regular daily exercise.

Finally, you may directly energize a weak or diseased organ or part of the body by
feeling or breathing into it. If you keep your attention focused on a particular area of
your body, then you may feel it becoming warm and possibly tingling after some time.
You may then use imagery to intensify the warmth or tingling. Also imagine that your
breath or the prana from your breath flows into this area and accelerates its healing.

Even without a specific problem, you may focus on one organ after another and in this
way energize the whole body. Once you can easily feel the warmth in a chosen target
area, you may develop a sequence by energizing first the chakras, starting with the
crown chakra, then circulate the energy a few times, and finally energize individual
organs or areas of the body. Also during your daily activities try to remain aware of the
energies in various parts of your body.

For further information on chakras and energy work see 'The Love Cure'. Actually the
best and safest way to develop the chakra system is by living appropriately in all life
situations with a strong flow of a variety of positive feelings. Most healthy individuals
have their 3 lower chakras reasonably well developed. Therefore we need to
concentrate mainly on developing the 4 higher chakras. The quality of our chakra
system shows our position on the larger scale of spiritual evolution.

ENERGY ACCUMULATORS
Various shapes like pyramids and cones have been shown to concentrate prana. Some
healers have patients stay in pyramids with good results. I also experimented with
Reichian orgone accumulators, small pyramids and cones. In one instance I connected
a wire screen placed over the tumor area of a patient to the top of a 60cm high pyramid.
After only one treatment the patient developed a high fever during the night, which is
excellent for destroying tumors. In another experiment the energy radiated from a cone
over a short distance produced a strong reddening of the skin as from sunburn, showing
that these energies are real. One of my patients had melanoma metastases recurring
after an earlier operation. These disappeared within two weeks mainly from frequent
packs of fresh grass.

On tumors and areas of infection and inflammation you may use an energy suction tube
to draw off excess energy. Place one end of a metal tube, about 60 to 150 cm long, in a
bucket of cold water or another large volume of water. Lightly press the upper end
against the area of overactivity and keep it in this position for 10 to 30 minutes without
holding the tube with the hands. Do this daily until the condition is normalized.

Bio-energy can be generated not only by certain shapes, such as pyramids and cones,
and materials such as crystals and precious metals, but also by metals and non-metals
arranged in alternating layers. This is the principle of the orgone accumulator invented
by Wilhelm Reich. He built large boxes for patients to sit in or smaller boxes, called
shooters, from which the energy was directed through a flexible hollow pipe to the body
of the patient.

My understanding of the principle of energy accumulation is as follows. Our planet is

enveloped in a deep layer of prana (bio-energy) generated by the sun. This prana
envelope has been observed to move from West to East most of the time. When this
prana flow encounters a suitable material shape, it forms a vortex around and within this
obstruction, similar to flowing water or air forming vortexes under similar conditions.
This increases the prana concentration within the structure. In Reichian orgone
accumulators the prana flow is being condensed by the specific arrangement of the
materials.

When charging drinking water, be aware that prana does not appear to flow or radiate
through glass. Therefore it is preferable to keep the water in high-quality plastic
containers for charging with bio-energy, be it exposure to sunlight or keeping it in a
pyramid, or radiating it with a Chi-generator or other commercial energy device. With
sun-exposure you may, of course, keep the water in an open or plastic-covered ceramic
bowel.

Pyramid Energy

In pyramids the energy moves as a vortex, entering at the base and flowing out at the
apex. Therefore, apex energy is used to charge and stimulate while an area below a
pyramid (shaped as a mirror pyramid) sedates. Inside the effect appears to be slightly
sedating at the base and stimulating higher up.
Pyramids commonly are small-scale replicas of the Great pyramid of Giza. One of the
four sides should face magnetic north. The measurements are height 1 unit, base
1.5708 units and sides 1.4945 units (measured along the midline, not along the edges).
The sides form an angle of 51º 51' to the base. However, newer research seems to
indicate that many different pyramid-like and cone-like shapes have the potential to
accumulate energies, even, for instance a three-sided pyramid.

Avoid metal in its construction, especially sheet metal or wire mesh (except for copper
or precious metal sheeting at the apex). Walls do not appear to be essential. However,
a pyramid-shaped capstone at the apex and a bottom plate will increase the energy
generation considerably. The capstone may be in form of copper sheeting of the top 10
% of the pyramid or of a small copper pyramid as the apex. Also keep unnecessary
metal (e.g. watches) out of the pyramid when using it and place the pyramid away from
strong electrical fields. One side of the pyramid should point towards magnetic north.

For easy shifting and storage you may build 2 sides of an open frame and hook them
together at the base with 2 base-length pieces of timber. In addition or instead of a
pyramid big enough to sit in, you may build one or two small cardboard pyramids. You
may then place the apex of one pyramid under your bed or (wooden) chair, pointing to
the base of the spine or any part of the body that you want to strengthen, while the other
pyramid may be placed with the base over a diseased area or over the head.

However, the most convenient and effective way may be to have a pyramid outside in a
dry, sunny location and lead the energy inside the house through an insulated electric
wire coming through the apex. At the end of this you may attach a wire screen covered
with a pillowcase and sit on it or keep your feet on it or place it where the body needs
healing. The energy generated by the pyramid varies according to the strength of the
energy field in the environment. It is generally high in sunshine, elevated positions,
green surroundings and low at night, during the rain and inside modern houses.

The pyramid shape concentrates bio-energy. This can be used for healing or
recharging, by sitting or lying inside a pyramid. The strongest force is one-third up from
the base, the position of the King's Chamber. There appears to be an energy vortex
spiraling upwards to the top (apex) and another one from the apex downwards, but
spiraling in the opposite direction. Both energy streams seem to have stimulating
properties, but on different levels. A sedating energy field is created in an imaginary,
inverted pyramid below the base of the physical pyramid.

Generally, work with pyramid energies is still in the experimental stage and you should
approach these energies carefully and with self-observation. Start experimenting with
small pyramids before building a big one. For treatment inside the pyramid, the direction
in which the head points when lying down seems to be important and the best position
may differ for each person, time and condition. Become sensitive, and experiment.

Cones
Cones seem to have properties similar to those of pyramids. You may experiment with a
metal cone or a cardboard cone covered on both sides with aluminum foil. The cone
may be 30 to 60 cm high, and the wide end is best sealed. The most important
requirement is a right angle formed by the sides at the apex. If the angle is wider, the
energy of the cone will be focused, as with a lens, while a more acute angle seems to
disperse it. A beam of energy with apparently stimulating properties comes out of the tip
of the cone and may be projected over a long distance. The energy may be led off the
apex by a wire as described for the pyramid. A stronger force is generated if the cone is
more than three feet above the ground.

Covering the head with an open cone or a pyramid-shaped hat may be done to use the
sedating force below these forms during meditation or to increase psychic awareness.
Perhaps this is the reason why sorcerers and magicians are often depicted with cone-
shaped hats. However, when trying to use cones for health improvement it is preferable
to use galvanized iron rather than aluminum, due to a possibly detrimental health effect
of aluminum-conducted energies.

Orgone Accumulator

Orgone is the term for bio-energy coined by Wilhelm Reich. The accumulator consists of
alternating layers of metal and non-metal (for example, natural fiber. Commonly 3
alternating layers each of metal and non-metal are used, originally sheet iron and wood,
but now more commonly steel wool and sheep wool or other fiber. The outermost layer
must be a non-metal and the innermost layer a metal. The basic principle is that the
organic or non-metal layer tends to attract and hold the bio-energy, while the metal layer
radiates or reflects it. This causes the energy to drift from the outside of the box towards
the center.

As an objective measurement of the higher energy charge inside the accumulator there
is a higher temperature inside the box as compared to the outside. But it does not even
have to be a box; one may just wrap alternating layers of a metal and a non-metal. This
is the called a power pack. The easiest and cheapest way is to wrap alternating layers
of aluminum foil with paper or plastic foil. However, various healers came to the
conclusion that the energy generated with aluminum is not beneficial for our health and
that it is best to use iron as a metal, either as galvanized iron or steel wool. Also copper,
brass and zinc are good.

If a person is to sit inside, the inside wall should be reasonably close to the body, but
not touching it. A window and air vent may be put in the door. Treatment may be 30-60
minutes daily. Reich reported good success with cancer treatment. As with pyramids,
the energy may be conducted out of the accumulator and used externally on a person
or for experimenting. The charge within the accumulator varies according to the bio-
energy content of the surroundings. It is high on sunny days and low at night and on
rainy or cloudy days. For more information and interesting articles on orgone energy
see the books of Wilhelm Reich.
CAUTION: Orgone accumulators can be 'poisoned' by radioactivity and may then cause
headache, nausea and possibly diseases. Do not use if radioactive clouds from atomic
tests are suspected. Do not take a wristwatch inside or close to an accumulator. Earth
the accumulator with a steel pipe connected to a stream, underground water or a bucket
full of water that may be renewed from time to time. Disconnect the earthing when using
the accumulator. According to some orgone research sources the orgone energy in
cities presently is so polluted that it is not safe and advisable to use orgone
accumulators in these conditions. Preferably use it outside city areas in a less polluted
and more natural environment.

Bion Packs

Wilhelm Reich also experimented with other ways of generating orgone energy that are
not susceptible to poisoning. He found that strong orgone energy could be liberated
from beach sand (silica?). After heating some sand to incandescence in the flame of a
Bunsen burner he plunged it into water. Within minutes he could observe under the
microscope the blue orgone ‘bions’ (individualized units of bio-energy). When bion-
water was kept in a culture medium for several weeks, the water and the darkroom
became highly charged and filled with the characteristic bluish glow of orgone energy
(Wilhelm Reich: The Cancer Biopathy).

While working in this room in winter and without being exposed to the sun, Reich
developed a deep tan all over his body and felt ‘extremely vigorous’. He also used bion
solutions experimentally to treat various disease symptoms. When bion solutions were
injected into experimental animals they killed or immobilized pathogenic bacteria and
cancer cells.

He also made bion packs by several times boiling beach sand or clay for 15 minutes (no
microwave) and then freezing it. You may fill some heavy fabric, such as a sock, with
sand like a sausage. Tie the open end and boil it for 15 minutes. Then wrap the
‘sausage’ in additional wax paper or plastic and freeze it solid. When using a pack for
the first time, alternate the boiling and freezing several times. Before placing it over a
diseased part of the body, let it sufficiently cool and drain off excess water.

It is preferable to use the pack as warm as possible. Therefore use additional cloth
insulation, which may gradually be removed as the pack cools. It continues radiating to
some degree after cooling off. Therefore there is no time limit for how long you can keep
it on; although I assume that it is more beneficial when it is warm or hot. The pack can
be re-activated on subsequent days simply by boiling it again. Let the pack dry out when
not in use and preferably expose it to the sun for several hours between each
application.

Orgonite

Orgonite is the newest and most promising concept for generating bio-energy. It is a
mixture of about equal parts of metal particles and a solidified organic component, such
as polyester resin or beeswax. This is a further development of the methods of Wilhelm
Reich as it not only accumulates but also generates or better regenerates orgone
energy. Tests have shown that orgonite does not become poisoned but rather has the
ability to convert the ‘deadly orgone’ or ‘Dor’ that is produced by radioactivity and
nuclear plants into healthy bluish orgone energy.

You can easily build an orgone generator yourself by following the instructions for the
“HHG” on www.cloud-busters.com. You can use different versions of it to improve the
life force energy inside your house, to charge your water with life force or to treat the
body directly.

While aluminum embedded in polyester or epoxy resin is more convenient to use for
outdoor applications, for inside the house and bodywork I recommend instead using
other metals, such as copper and brass with the metal particles embedded preferably in
beeswax or alternatively stearin (stearic acid) or paraffin wax. It is also possible to make
ceramic orgonite by mixing clay, especially polymer clay, with metal particles before
firing. Crystals, precious stones, magnets and various spirals are often added to
enhance the power or healing vibrations of the orgonite.

Metal pipes, especially copper, crystals, magnets, spirals and specific shapes, such as
cones and pyramids are used to point the outflow of the orgone energy in a specific
direction.

Crystals, Gems and Metals

Crystals and precious stones may be worn for their beneficial radiation. Crystals should
be naturally grown, not manufactured. The best effects are achieved if worn directly on
the skin. To regenerate the healing power of a gem, one may keep it in a silk bag when
it is not worn. Use muscle testing, the pendulum or other psychic means to assess
which crystal, stone or metal suits you, where to wear it and for how long. Alternatively,
make your selection according to the rules of color therapy.

Some recommendations of Edgar Cayce, the famous American Psychic, were as

follows:

Attunement to healing: amethyst, bloodstone, chrysolite, pearl

Attunement to infinity: diamond, lapis lazuli, ruby
Greater stamina: agate and amethyst
Meditation and psychic abilities: lapis linguis
Strengthening mucus membranes: carbon steel close to groin
Strengthening: lapis lazuli, bloodstone, moonstone, pearl, topaz

For further information consult the book Gems and Stones by Edgar Cayce and many
others.
Gems have also been used for healing in the form of powders and irradiated solutions.
Gem therapy, as this healing method is known, is still very much at an experimental
stage. For experimentation with solutions you may use the following guidelines.

Select a suitable gem or precious metal by muscle testing or by psychic means (write
the name of the gem to be tested on a slip of paper and hold it near the navel while
simultaneously concentrating mentally on this name). Try to obtain the gem or metal
that is most strengthening. Immerse it in a shallow bowl of unpolluted water and expose
this to sun and moonlight for about five days. The bowl may be covered with clear
plastic but not with glass. Then pour the solution into a bottle.

Take a sip once a day for up to six months. Use close self-observation and/or muscle
testing and stop if any unwanted symptoms arise. If in doubt, it may be safer to take a
3X or 6X homeopathic dilution of the irradiated water, especially in the case of precious
metals. If you lack in energy, experiment with a ruby. Edgar Cayce recommended
alternating the radiation of gold and silver. Gold improves the circulation and silver the
nervous system. Together, according to Edgar Cayce, they may 'almost double the
present life-span'. Use pure gold and silver (preferably at least 99% pure).

Commercial Energy Devices

Commercial 'Chi Generators' usually combine the principle of the power pack or
orgonite with magnetic or electromagnetic pulses. Other commonly used products are
Purple Plates, Tachyon Products and copper coils.

'Purple Plates' are claimed to have the atomic structure of aluminum plates rearranged
so that one side emits beneficial bio-energy. A large plate can be kept under the bed or
mattress to help shield the body from harmful earth rays and provide beneficial energies
in addition. Also food and drink can be energized by keeping these on the plate for
some time before ingestion.

Tachyon products are claimed to be permanently energized. For specific health

problems you may keep a Tachyon product as close as possible to the site of the
complaint, such as pain or a tumor, also try wristbands and headbands. Wristbands
may improve the blood circulation as with cold hands and feet. The available energy
cells may be taped over the problem area or kept in a pouch. For specific complaints
select the color of tachyon cells according to the rules of color therapy. You may also
use them to stimulate the chakras during meditation with cells of the appropriate color.

Some feel good wearing Tachyon products day and night while others need to take
them off overnight to get a good sleep. Generally I recommend combining both -
Tachyon products and purple plates - using Tachyon products mainly on the body and
the relatively cheap large purple plates to energize food and drink and to keep under the
bed or mattress.
Copper coils may be used to energize drinking water or protect against harmful earth
radiation and electropollution. From my experience with these energy products I am
satisfied that they generally do work.
