or when you are floating and ‘spaced out’, your aura is very open.
We have seen earlier that the fight or flight reaction closes your
energy. However, we are in search of something less clumsy and
stressful. Here is an exercise to introduce you to the art of sealing
the aura.
Phase 1: opening
Sit in a meditation position on a mat or a chair. Keep your eyes
closed throughout the practice. Start meditating, going through
the different phases of the first technique: friction and vibration
in the throat, vibration in the eye, light in the eye, the purple
space (section 3.7).
After 5 or 10 minutes, become aware above the head. Remain ‘just
aware’ of the space, floating above the head. Doing nothing, just
being aware. Let yourself be spread out above the head.
Then try to sense the limits of your aura. How far does your
energy extend? Could you sense the presence of objects around you
(even if you can't see them)? Could you ‘touch’ them with your
aura? If there are other people in the room, can you sense their
presence within your own space? How does your aura mingle with
the people and the objects around you? Could you even get a sense
of the walls of the room? How dense does your aura feel? Tune
into the energy, inside and around your body. Does your energy
feel thick or sparse? Go on exploring in every direction for a few
minutes, with an open awareness above the head.
Phase 2: sealing
Next, refocus between the eyebrows. Start breathing with a
marked throat friction, and build up a strong vibration between
the eyebrows.
Vibration, light and space in the eye correspond to three levels of
increasing depth of experience. When you are in the space, you are
deeper into astral consciousness than when you are seeing colours.
And when you are seeing colours, you are deeper than when you
are feeling the vibration.
Now is the time to awaken an intense vibration in the eye. There
may be some light, but a thick and intensely vibrating light – not
an airy-fairy floating one! Don't let yourself fade into the space.
Rub your hands for a few seconds, then become motionless with
the palms upwards. Feel the vibration in your hands, as in channel
release work (Chapters 4 and 6). Connect the vibration in the hands
