Chapter 20 – Protection: Sealing the Aura (2)
20.1 Where are you speaking from?
Practice 20.1 consists in producing sounds from specific levels. We
will start with something very simple: chanting a long ‘ooo’ sound
(you can do it while reading this, there is no need to close your
eyes!)
Phase 1
Chant the ‘ooo’ sound and make it resonate in the abdomen, around
and below the navel. There is a way of producing the sound that
makes the abdomen vibrate so that both the physical vibration of
the sound and the etheric vibration (the one we have cultivated in
the eye and in channel release) can be felt in your belly.
Continue with a few long ‘ooo’ sounds, trying to produce vibration
in your belly and in no other part of the body.
A simple way of enhancing the vibration is to place your hand
parallel to your abdomen, 2 or 3 inches away, using it as a
reflector.
There is no particular awareness in the eye in this phase, nor in
phases 2 and 3.
Phase 2
Then try to chant a long ‘ooo’ that resonates only in the chest. The
pitch does not really matter. Look for a sound that generates as
much vibration as possible in the chest but in no other part of the
body.
Use your hand as a reflector, placing it parallel to the middle of
your chest, 2 or 3 inches away.
Keep on chanting ‘ooo’, putting all of yourself into the sound.
Feel the physical vibration of the sound resonating in your chest,
but also the vibration of energy.
Try to eliminate any vibration from other parts of the body, in
particular the abdomen, the throat, the head.
Phase 3
Produce a few ‘ooo’ sounds that vibrate only in the throat.
