was able to put a grapefruit on her chest while she was lying
down, and suck in its energy with her etheric body. After some
time, all the vital force had been extracted from the grapefruit.
Even physically, the fruit looked shrivelled.
Could you take an orange or a grapefruit and do the same?
Lie down. Put a good, healthy (and preferably organic) orange on
your sternum, right against the skin.
Close your eyes. Become aware of the vibration in the eye. Become
aware of the vibration all over your body and in your chest in
particular. Then become aware of the vibration inside the fruit.
Start drawing the vibration of the fruit into your own layer of
vibration.
8.15 Yawning
Yawning is one of those little inner movements that can release
unexpectedly big waves of energy. Yawning can be regarded as a
proper channel release: it is an action, a physical movement, that
can be followed by a movement of energy, or etheric wave. As
with all channel releases, the energy movement is far more
important than the physical movement. But as we described before
(section 6.3), this energy movement has to be allowed, otherwise it
won't happen, or it will happen only faintly. It is one of those
natural functions that our etheric body does not perform
automatically any more.
Suppressing yawning is a perverse conditioning coming from
repressive education. When fully performed, yawning releases the
heart, the same as crying. It also frees many tensions that would
otherwise accumulate in the eyes, hence the tiny little tear that
appears in the corner of the eyes after a full, generous yawn.
Let us see how you can get the most out of yawning. If you
observe it from your eye, you will see that when yawning, most
people tend to release energies through their mouth. If you can
become aware of this energy release and amplify it ‘with
intention’ when you yawn, that will already be a significant
improvement.
But there is a more enlightened way of yawning. The general
principle is to yawn upwards. You have to manipulate all the
muscles of the back of the throat for the energy movement to be
directed upwards, towards the top of the head, rather than
horizontally through the mouth. While yawning try to elongate
the pharynx. The mouth does not have to be very open, it can
