Get a Rush of Life Energy: and then give it!

[startzpe]

I posted this on a thread I just started but thought it might be worthy of it's own. To see what others have to say after trying this yoga technique out for themselves.

I feel we will all be needing all the energy we can get in the next few years.



Ultimate Reiki - The Star Exercise (http://www.meditation-techniques.net/meditations/starexercise.htm)

online meditation - reiki/yoga

(Since large amounts of "Chi", or Universal life energy, are potentially generated by doing the Star Exercise, we can in no way be responsible for what might happen to you. We emphasize that if you decide to do this meditation/exercise, you are choosing to do so at your own risk. We have practiced this exercise for years and have never known anyone to become injured from it, but this meditation is strong. Consider how a circuit breaker works. It is designed to automatically shut off power when there is more energy trying to pass through the circuit than it is equipped to process. Essentially, this is what our bodies do as well. If when doing the Star Exercise your body is not yet prepared for the energy flowing through it, you could find yourself knocked off your feet. Rest assured, however, that this isn't something to become concerned about because as you practice, your body will increase in strength. Just take reasonable precautions and make sure the area surrounding you is free from objects that could harm you if you fell. Also, please do not attempt this exercise if you are prone to epileptic seizures.)

The Star Exercise enjoys renown in both the world of yoga and among devotees of Reiki healing methods. Modern Reiki instruction (for which you can pay big bucks) actually derives its teachings from this energy exercise. We provide it here for free and you won't have to endure any attunements! Among yoga enthusiasts, the Star Exercise is commonly viewed as the ultimate yoga exercise, and some say, the only one you need do.

Suffice it to say, the Star Exercise is an extremely potent avenue for triggering the Kundalini and generating, storing and transmitting Universal Life Energy (also known as bio-cosmic energy, Reiki, ki, prana, etc.) Doing this exercise not only fills your body with this energy, but it moves throughout you and enables you to give it to others by offering healing, as well as allowing for flowing ki within a group of people.

Universal Life Energy has characteristics which can be considered both physical and spiritual. While the energy is etheric, resonates at very high frequencies, and has the ability to penetrate anything, the mind and our emotions actually do impact and direct it as well. We even know now that Universal Life Energy can actually be photographed using "Kirilian" electro photography to capture "auras" and propelled energy beams.

We have emphasized and explained the characteristics of ki energy to improve your awareness during all your meditations and yoga exercises. The supply of Universal Life Energy is boundless and only your separate self inhibits it.

DOING IT:

http://www.meditation-techniques.net/meditations/staranimate2.gif

It is recommended that when possible, socks and shoes be removed prior to beginning the Star Exercise. Positioning yourself for this exercise involves standing with your feet approximately a yard apart and holding your arms straight out to your sides like this:

Facing your right palm down and your left palm up, start breathing deeply and strongly. Depending on your preference, at times you may wish to breathe rapidly, while at others you may prefer slower breathing. Either way, be sure you are inhaling and exhaling deeply and intensely. The intent of this breathing is to pull Universal Life Energy from the air into your Solar Plexus Chakra since included among the many functions of the Solar Plexus Chakra is its ability to store energy. (Similar to how batteries store power).

Now, visualize the energy moving into the Solar Plexus and building up there while also moving throughout your whole body from the beginning point of your Solar Plexus. Simultaneously, picture the energy flowing into your left hand, throughout your center, and finally out of your right hand. This visualization should continue for awhile.

You will know you have achieved the desired result of this exercise when you experience a "rush" of energy (sometimes even visible) accompanied by a feeling of transcension. This will likely not occur until after completion of the breathing portion when you have moved on to the next step in the exercise (below). In order to obtain this energy sensation be prepared to find yourself breathing just a few breaths, or as many as 144.

Now, while holding your breath, and continuing the visualization, silently affirm to yourself: "I am one with Universal Life Energy, it is flowing through me now, I feel it." At this time, as long as you have done the exercise correctly, you will most likely begin to feel an energy rush. For as long as you desire and are comfortable, feel free to continue holding your breath and appreciating the flow of the energy. When you think you have felt enough, proceed with an exhale and move on to the next step in the meditation.

Some people like to argue that too much oxygen via hyperventilation is responsible for the rush you get. But think about it for yourself. If that were the case, why wouldn't someone breathing pure oxygen experience the same effect? And how does that explain that for those more experienced in this exercise, it works with one simple breath?

Above we have alluded to how you can "share" the energy with someone else or do it in a group. It is possible to direct the energy flowing from your right hand and give it to someone or something. This is the same flow used for healing light and the very same energy that the pyramid phenomenon is associated with. Did you know the word pyramid means "fire in the middle"?

Anyhow, if you choose to do the Star Exercise with just one additional person, you have a couple of options for how to go about it:

1) Making a mini-circle that the energy can flow through by standing facing each other and grasping hands

2) Standing side-by-side, and joining only the hands between you which leaves one person’s hand open facing upward in order to receive energy from the heavens, and the second person’s hand open and facing downward in order to send the energy down into the Earth. It looks something like this:

http://www.meditation-techniques.net/meditations/starexcer2people.jpg

The best way to maximize this exercise with a group of more than two people is to join hands and form a large circle. In addition to the visualizations you do when alone, also include a visualization of the energy flowing throughout the entire circle. Imagine it increasing in strength as it receives a "boost" from each person in the circle. As a precaution, noone should stand outside the circle doing a group Star Exercise because there is some risk due to the extreme power "flying off" the circle.

Hmm, VERY interesting. I'm off to test it now :D

I'll let you know how it goes.

This is from the Science of Being 1923 by Eugene Fersen

http://unurthed.com/2007/04/26/fersens-science-of-being/

...Fundamentally, though, Fersen presents a course based on channeling a Universal Life Energy that produces Success (with a capital ess) in all of these areas. Fersen identifies this energy as a primal, vibrating force that constitutes manifest reality; at the three different levels of mans’ nature, this same ultimate energy manifests in different forms: magnetic energy, mental energy, and spiritual energy, respectively.

Life force
http://unurthed.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/fersen-life-force-58.jpg

Life energy.

The Life level is embodied by the Star Exercise, a physical routine whose purpose is to make contact, circulate, and cultivate the Universal Life Energy. To perform the exercise, stand with the body in a five-pointed star-shaped configuration: legs somewhat more than shoulder width apart and arms straight out to the sides, left hand palm up and right hand palm down. “The whole body must remain erect, but not tense… straight, but relaxed” (1923, p65).

Fersen’s star exercise
http://unurthed.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/fersen-star-exercise-67.jpg
Fersen’s star exercise.

In this configuration, the Life Center, a point located at the base of the spine, acts as a magnet to attract the Universal Life Energy and to cast it into magnetic energy, or Life Energy, the physical manifestation of the universal. The pull of the Life Center draws energy through the fingertips of the upward facing left hand and down the spinal cord to the Life Center.

From the Life Center, the transformed energy is pushed to the Solar Plexus. This area, more commonly known as the “pit of the stomach”, is the central storage and distribution center of the magnetic energy throughout the body. Fersen also calls this area the abdominal brain. From the Solar Plexus, the magnetic energy is distributed to those parts of the body that require it, but, in particular, the magnetic energy is returned to the spinal cord, passes through the seventh cervical vertebra, and enters the back part of the brain.

This process of energy ingestion, transformation, storage, and distribution is the basis of all Success. “The strength of the individual is in direct proportion to the development of Solar Plexus” (1927, p41). “Each cell in the body will exhibit a greater constructive activity, each organ of the body will perform its duties with an ever increasing power and precision, this giving all members of the body the possibility of manifesting in a most perfect way the activities of the soul. (1927, p163).

Leaving the back part of the brain, the energy is further transformed in order to power the successive levels of human nature: the Pituitary Body casts energy into mental energy, and the Pineal Body casts energy into spiritual energy. Once the storage capacity of the Solar Plexus has been filled, excess energy is routed to the down-turned right hand and into the earth. As the energy flows through the fingertips, the thumb bears the strongest current, followed by the index finger, ring finger, pinky finger, and, at last, the middle finger.

Mind force
http://http://unurthed.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/fersen-spirit-16.jpg
Mind force.

This energetic process naturally functions as a result of the physical laws governing Universal Life Energy and the attraction exercised by the Life Center. However, to achieve any benefit from the process, one must become conscious of it. Fersen introduces the exercises of Silence and Relaxation to actualize this consciousness: Relaxation is the complete relaxation of body, mind, and emotions; Silence is the stilling of the willful mind. When one is relaxed and the Will is stilled, the mental conception separating Universal Life Energy from Magnetic Energy is deposed. Physical relaxation enables contact and awareness of Magnetic Energy; mental relaxation stills the Will, and “Soul Vibrations are the natural result of utter Poise” (1927, p567). As a formula of this process, during the Star Exercise, say to oneself, “I am one with the Universal Life Energy. It is flowing through me now. I feel it” (1927, p63).

“Remember, you are working now with a Power which functions only when relaxation provides It with adequate channels, and your purpose is to attract, not compel, the opportunity you desire. If you indulge the temptation to use your Will at this point you automatically close the channels within you and shift your reliance from the unlimited Energy of the Universe to the very limited and undependable powers of your own mind” (1927, p328).

Another aspect of relaxation is the requisite to conquer fear. “The reason [Power] does not [flow into your body all the time] is because your nerves and cells are contracted on account of the general tenseness of your body and are almost paralyzed and closed up by some latent fear. Naturally under these conditions the Life Force concentrated within your Life Center cannot attract the Universal Life Energy which surrounds your body on every side. That is why Relaxation and Silence are such important exercises for the harmonization of the body… Harmony means Equilibrium, and Equilibrium is Power. If you want to be powerful you must achieve the Balance which Power demands for its most efficient expression” (1927, p64-5). Controlling fear is particularly significant given that Success in life is a direct result of confronting Opposition, the progenitor of fear; and Opposition itself is necessary to develop the Life, Mind and Soul – by forcing their exertion.

Thus to make contact, attract, store, and distribute Life Energy via the body center and throughout the body, and to power the Mind and Soul levels that chase higher order accomplishments (Truth, Love, Poise, etc.), requires relaxation both physical and mental. Once one is aware of this circulation, the reservoir of Universal Life Energy can be tapped in lieu of man’s own limited internal stores; and this is the key that sparks true accomplishment: Success is necessarily limited without access to more Energy than insular man alone can provide. In all pursuits, therefore, it is imperative to first make contact with the Universal Life Energy in order to draw whatever Power may be required.
http://unurthed.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/fersen-mind-force-246.jpg

The process of relaxation, though, cannot be mastered overnight. In the 1927 workbook, each of twenty-seven distinct lessons presents a specific exercise that drills that lesson, yet all such exercises begin with the Star Exercise – as all exercises depend upon the awareness of the energetic center, it is necessary to practice this foundational exercise always. “Do not be discouraged if you fail to get results at once. Perfect relaxation is not an easy thing to achieve. In fact, it is the most difficult of any mental feats, because Mind is volatile, quick, full of aggressive activity. Contact with Universal Intelligence requires stillness, passivity, a rich sense of harmony within. Yet as in everything else, practice and training will develop the necessary poise in the most unruly intellect, and no price you can pay in patience and perseverance is too great if it brings you the power to contact at will the Eternal Source of All Knowledge” (1927, p427-8). “You cannot rush to your destination by your own willful strength; you can penetrate only gradually and steadily into that remote inner chamber of your Being” (1927, p468).

I gave it a go this morning. At first I was quite uncomfortable and stuff but after a bit I did actually get the feeling of energy passing through me! But I stopped because it feels strange to me to meditate in that position, I'll need to work on it, but I see good potential with this for me in the future! Thanks a LOT for sharing, I'll post how it goes for me here :D

[whitelightrabbit]

i just skimmed the thread, the lower diagram makes more sense as it involves the legs. most energy work involves being grounded, which means having an energetic connection to the earth as well as the heavens. pretty important imo.

[mr_moon]

Weird...just tried this and it felt like i was going to pass out!

VERY strange... not sure whether it's the positioning of the arms (it gets a little achey) but i found it odd.

I may have to practice this...!!

[soglad]

Yes! This actually hurts me when I do it. I think I my need to practice it, but there's definitely something in it..

[startzpe]

A couple of things to note

The most sensation I have achieved is a electric tingling sensation through my fingertips and a real energetic sensation in the solar plexus, definitely keeps my energy levels up when I do it constantly (2 to 3 times a day). I do it for less than 5 minutes at a time.

Breathing is key I find, deep in the diaphragm and hard (does not have to be fast, but experiment to see what works best)

The arms should not cause pain, if your arms are in some pain try to relax them a bit.

I'll post a more detailed explanation from the "Science of Being" book in a bit

[startzpe]

That second method has this advantage
over the mental one, that it does not
require any faith in it. It works for the
reason that the physical laws are there put
into operation, and the physical contact

with the Universal Energy is made, not
because we think it or want it, but because
we cannot help it. Obviously, if we also
think about that Universal Life Energy
flowing through us at the moment of physical
contact with it, it will work all the better.
Yet if we do not think at all about it, it still
will work, because of the aforesaid reasons.
That second, the physical method, is based
on a certain exercise, called the "STAR
EXERCISE." The reason why this posture
is called the Star Exercise is because the
individual, when taking it, has to place his
body in such a position that it will fit into
the five points of a star. The Five Pointed
Star, the emblem of the Humanity of today,
the occult sign of the Fifth Period of Humanity's
evolution, is also called the Pentagram.
According to the alchemists of mediaeval
times, the Pentagram was considered to be
the key to all powers. The Philosopher's
Stone, the Elixir of Life, and many other
wonderful things, were supposed to be
obtained whenever that sign was properly
used. Yet the alchemists, though perceiving
the truth back of that sign, saw only its
geometrical form; that is, the dead letter of
it, which had no actual power. The living
force back of it, the spirit of it, remained
veiled to them. In this Age, the veil is
lifted, arid the complete truth, spirit and
letter, is revealed. And the mysterious
sign, the Pentagram, becomes indeed a KEY
TO' ALL POWER, as it unlocks and brings

forth in Man all his latent powers and forces.
It is when the human body takes the position
as shown in the diagrams following that the
actual contact of the life energy within is
made with the Universal Life Energy without.
And a man's physical, mental, and
emotional development will be thus stimulated
by an ever increasing Force. Standing
straight, but relaxed, with legs spread to a
degree corresponding to the design, the
arms stretched to either side on a level with
the shoulders, and with head erect, the
human body will fit 'into the five pointed
star. Even the proportions of a normally
built body will correspond to the figure of
the star. The head fits into the upper point,
the two arms into the two side points, the
torso into the center, and the legs into the
two lower points. The palm of the left
hand should be turned up, and that of the
right turned down. The whole body must
remain erect, but not tense. The heart,
situated on the left side of the human body,
is not only the central pumping station
which takes in and sends out the blood
through the whole body, but is also the
apparatus which sucks in and pours out
Life Energy. The palm of the left band,
turned up, draws in through its complicated
network of nerves the Universal Energy
present in the surrounding atmosphere.
That drawing action is due to the pumping
activity of the heart, and the stream of Life
Force pours into the body because of the

attraction exercised on it by the inner life
force of the body itself. Through the hand,
arm, and heart the Life Energy flows to the
solar plexus, whence it is distributed by way
of the spinal nerve throughout the whole
body. A certain amount of it is stored in the
solar plexus. and the surplus sent out
through the right hand, whose palm is turned
down, It is especially through the finger
tips of the right hand that the Force is flowing
out of the body toward the earth, which
attracts it because of the same Law of
Attraction. Thus is established a current of
Universal Energy, penetrating from the
Infinite Source into the human body, invigorating
and purifying it, and flowing out
of it only to return with ever increasing
power. The left palm, turned up, takes the
position of a receiving hand, and the right,
with palm turned down, appears to bless.
In fact, this is so. Our left hand receives all
blessings from the Infinite, which our being,
having assimilated, in its turn gives out as
blessings through the right hand. Not only
through the left hand does the Life Force
penetrate into the body; it pours in also
through every cell, and very strongly
through the solar plexus. Yet during the
exercise the main current is received as
stated above. Shortly after having taken the
position, one begins to feel a certain heaviness
in the palm of the left hand. It is as if a
heavy ball were pressing on the palm. And
one is sensible of a kind of tingling in the

finger tips of the right hand. These two
different sensations are due to the influx and
outpouring of Life Force. Thus the individual
feels that the contact is established.
There are a few more important points
to be remembered in connection with that
exercise, The best times to perform it are
in the morning, immediately after getting
up, before doing anything else, and at night
before going to bed. When performed in
the morning, this exercise will stimulate
all one's physical, mental, and emotional
activities, because of the ascending magnetic
currents of the new day, which impregnate

their local color in the exercise. In the evening,
on the contrary, the same exercise produces
an opposite effect. It soothes and
disposes one to sleep, in harmony with all
Nature, because of the downward curve of
the local magnetic currents.
Three to five minutes is all that is needed
to perform the Star Exercise, For beginners,
it would be inadvisable to do it longer,
because of the very strong inpour of magnetic
forces. But later on, when the body becomes
accustomed to that inflow of magnetic currents,
the duration of the Star Exercise can
be prolonged to fifteen minutes, and the
exercise taken more than twice a day. During
that exercise, one ought to be dressed
as lightly as possible, in order to leave the
body free and without pressure on any part
of it. A body without any covering is of
course the most responsive. The exercise
should be performed in front of an open
window, and, if the temperature and circumstances
permit, out of doors. The Star
Exercise should never be taken immediately
after a meal. At least an hour must elapse
between the two; otherwise a most violent
nausea, and sometimes indigestion, may
result, as the magnetic current has the same
effect on digestion as an electrical storm has
on milk. It curdles the food in process of
digestion, because of its strong chemical
action. Deep, rhythmic breathing is very
helpful in connection with the exercise,
because of the stimulating effect of the

oxygen. In the beginning, one's arms may
feel tired in the performance of the exercise.
No effort should be used to keep the arms up
in their proper position. Let them drop, and
lift them again when rested. Otherwise the
tension of the muscles and nerves resulting
from a prolonged forced elevation of the
arms will counteract, to a great extent, the
flow of the Force through them.
The exercise works so automatically that
there is no imperative need to think about
the Force flowing through the body. It
will flow anyway, because of the Law of
Attraction. There is no necessity of turning
the face north, because the points of the
compass are of no importance to those who
use Universal Energy, which is limitless.
The Star Exercise is exceedingly beneficial
to children. It stimulates all of their bodies,
especially their brain centers, and those
glands which play such an important role
in their growth and development. It also
harmonizes their emotional side with the
rest of their being, and establishes strength
and poise where before was weakness and
restlessness.
The Star Exercise ought to become a
part of the daily routine for everyone, young
and old, sick or healthy, weak or strong.
It is to be carried on regularly through all
one's life, to the very end, and the surprising
positive results will exceed the most sanguine
expectations. It is like watering a plant
with Life Itself, so that it should grow with

an ever-increasing vigor. It is indeed Life,
in its strongest and purest form, that one is
able to contact through the Star Exercise,
and use for the greatest unfoldment of one's
body, mind, and soul. For some time in the
beginning that process of unfoldment may
be rather slow. But one must persevere, and
complete success will be the reward of that.
perseverance.

Breathing is key I find, deep in the diaphragm and hard (does not have to be fast, but experiment to see what works best)

you know what? the more i experience, the more i realize that breathing is the key to everything!

[startzpe]

I've been searching out more tibits on the star exercise since I found out about it after reading "The Children of the law of One: The Lost teachings of Atlantis" ( If anyone has read David Icke's "Children of the Matrix" it mentions the name as an order or spiritual group that existed in Atlantis, or any of the old Edgar Cayce readings.)

The LTA had first introduced me to a lot of these topics. In posting the info on the star exercise around different forums over the years I find that the people that try it do seem to have an experience as described, myself included.

I haven't tried it with a group yet, that is supposed to be really interesting.

The author of the "The Lost Teachings of Atlantis" Jon Peniel had made note that Eugene Fersen was a high initiate of the Children of the Law of One (goes by different names throughout the years like the Essenses in ancient Israel, school of the prophets etc)


Anyway I'm doing my bit and hope the information stays in circulation,

[startzpe]

This is the Star Exercise, although no conscious of it David Icke was doing it.

---

..Other extraordinary experiences have followed, including one on a mound near an ancient Inca site at Sillustani in Peru. He walked into a circle of standing stones at the top of the mound and stood in the centre looking back across to the Sillustani ruins with the mountains way off in the distance. There was not a cloud in the sky.

"Suddenly, I felt my feet being pulled to the ground like a magnet. With no decision on my part my arms raised above my head at about 45 degrees, slightly outwards and they stayed there for well over an hour. I felt nothing in my arms until it was over and then they were in absolute agony.

"A flow of powerful energy began to go into the top of my head like a drill down through my body into the ground and I could feel the flow coming back up from the ground the other way up through the top of my head. It was then that I heard the words very clearly: 'It will be over when you feel the rain.' What? What rain? There was not a cloud to be seen anywhere, just a glowing Peruvian sun in a clear blue sky!!"

David says the energy increased and increased to the point where his body was shaking as if plugged into a mains socket. After a while, he saw a light grey mist over the distant mountains and as he watched it got darker and darker. It had begun to rain far in the distance. Very quickly this storm emerged from the mountains, filling the sky with clouds, and covering the Sun. Eventually it was over him and he was seeing faces in the billowing clouds. The storm was moving so fast, it was almost like time-lapse photography, he recalls.

"Then it began to rain and as I felt the water on my face, the surge of energy suddenly stopped as if someone had flicked a switch. I staggered forward, my legs like jelly. Energy was pouring from my hands and feet with fantastic power and I could hardly sleep that night because of it. After that the synchronicity of my life and the knowledge I was led to, and instinctively understood, increased dramatically."
