Chapter 2 – The Mysteries of the Larynx
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of
his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword.
Revelation 1:
2.1 Throat friction
This practice consists of breathing with a friction at the lower
part of the back of the throat, while keeping the mouth slightly
open. The friction is generated during both inhalation and
exhalation. It creates a ‘wind’ type of sound. There is neither
humming nor buzzing, nor any form of chanted sound. The sound
is roughly the same while inhaling and exhaling. If you can, try to
make it a low-pitched sound; it will be easier to sustain over long
periods of time. But before giving more indications and tips on
the throat friction, let me make a few points extremely clear.
Don't try to start a quest for the perfect throat friction. Just do
a ‘kind of’ friction sound and let it adjust itself with time.
If you try to do it too perfectly you will probably end up doing it
all wrong. (The same applies more or less to all the techniques of
this book.) By being too finicky your mind is likely to get in the
way. So just breathe with some vague friction in the throat and
everything will be fine! Just read the indications given below, and
then you can come back to this section in a few weeks to find out
more precisely where your friction is taking place and adjust the
details.
Throat friction, tips and traps
- If you wish to have an immediate demonstration, you can visit
the Clairvision School's Internet site (section: Clairvision Knowledge
Bank), where you will find sound files of throat friction. But
again, keep in mind that any vague friction sound will be enough
to carry you through the exercises of Awakening the Third Eye. - It does not matter whether you are breathing through the nose
or the mouth, or both at the same time, but the mouth should
remain slightly open. In this position the lower jaw is loose and
