Energy Channels

Following the course of the breathe,

we may begin to feel our own lines of energy,

the blood coursing through our veins,

activating our muscles and organs, 

giving life to our bodies and subtle selves.


Two main lines of energies start at the nose,

as we breathe in through the nostrils, 

the air passes upwards, 

meets and crosses between the eyebrows,

then moves back downwards towards the lungs.

As we exhale we create a release,

while simultaneously giving back to our surroundings.


On a subtler level these lines double helix through concentrated areas of our body,

and then reconnecting at the root of the spine, and then back upwards,

straight up the center.


The points at which the left and right energy channels cross are at our "chakras" which most people

imagine are these spinning wheels, but in a traditional sense are actually crossroads where our 

main channels and other smaller ones densely meet at. Imagine a ball of entangled strings or 

chords of wire.


This concentration and density of channels potentially can cause blockages but also a great 

releases of psychophysical energy.


More on each of these cross paths or centers later...


Through the breathe and some physical movement we can guide our energies through the 

many layers of our being and in all directions, forwards for propulsion, upwards, expanding to our 

furthest peripheries, back inwards towards center, and downwards for release and elimination. With 

guidance and training, these are movements that we can cultivate and hone. 


I digress...


Our manifest energies are combinations of the five elements, creating the world as we know it,

in perfect synchronicity with our senses powered by prana ~ our life force energy.

Our life force energy exists on a wave ranging in varied degrees between erratic dynamism and an inert 

heaviness.

These moving parts are the beginning of our Ahamkar, ego, or first sense of self. 

Pervading our existence are the masculine and feminine forces. The masculine Purusha is pure 

awareness, while Prakriti is the principle of matter and the absolute potential to create. 


All these principles are moving within us, as we interact with the phenomenal world. May we 

observe those energies that connect us in ways unimaginable, and allow them to move us towards our 

greatest good and for those around us. 


Peace and Much Love,

Iko Tumangan Yoga

When Water Meets Fire

Image
Let it flow like the winds and  water,  refreshing and cooling. Met with the dynamism and  burning heat of fire. In combination,  this class of energy exists and can  be created for digestion and  processing power. When these energies are  concentrated,  they can be channeled towards  any realm in existence. We can then operate in the  material and physical layers, or go further into those exciting  energies at play. It takes more subtlety to bring  awareness to the thought space,  focus, concentration, stillness, studies,  and training. First gently meandering a single stream of consciousness,  like we were feeling through water,  balancing on a tight rope,  breathing so deeply as we seek out a target, then crunching a single concept down to its granularity,  drilling deeper, and deeper, and deeper  towards its core. Only to get lost, and then we let go. We tend to revisit and continue channe...

Decluttering the Mind Field

Image
We must simply be. Merely allowing thought forms to arise. There is no need to judge, or create any type of situation in our minds.  In the case where these thought forms do arise,  we have the choice to entertain them or simply let them pass. This is a form of meditation,  Being an observer, allowing ourselves to identify less with our fickle and changing thought forms,  Perhaps this is what the ancient mystics meant by controlling our own thoughts. Controlling doesn't mean to suppress, or manipulate.  Rather control means to focus, channel, organize, and decide what we would like to keep and what we would like to truly let go of. Easier said than done, but I hope this is a simple and helpful guide in decluttering the 'mind fields.'  Become an observer, and give importance to those thoughts that make you truly happy and well.  Peace and Love Always!

The Container of Earth and Water

Image
  The container of subtle earth and water has been made, and is now growing. The seed forms of pitta and vatta, can now be held and become more concentrated. How can I allow my energies to settle, permeate evenly, and then channel them towards healing and  making life better? I must move slow in physical from, and also in thought. To take time, and allow the 'space' to exist Observing these moments, to accept them, embrace them, and love them completely  "In Silence, One Rests in His True Nature" ૐ So many paradoxes ☯ as one seeks for greater congruency. The seeker is on a path to the oneness state. Overthinking, 'under' thinkers  Blanked out, spaced out, versus Meditation Reframing perhaps, is a way to observe our very nature in the best way. We are able to positively look at the times and observe the spaces when we are not 'in control' and embrace them intimately.  Looking at them as an essential time to loosen our mental grips, and let the mind rest...
