"Tensions are our guests; we have invited them. Relaxation is our nature, we don't have to invite it. You don't have to relax, you have to just stop inviting tensions, and relaxation will start on its own accord. In your very being, in every fiber, in every cell of your being there will be relaxation. This relaxation is the beginning of meditation."

Experiential Exercise #14

Feel Your Life Force

(Adapted from Erich Schiffman, yoga master & author of Yoga, Moving Into Stillness)

From a standing position with your feet hip-distance apart, spread the fingers on one hand as widely as possible. Bend your elbow & raise up your hand, gazing at your palm retaining the spread of your fingers.

Close your eyes & visualize a sun radiating its energy in the palm of your hand. Visualize each finger as a ray of light & make the sun powerful, sending its energy from the center out to each finger tip.

Now sense your hand in its entirety without thinking. Just feel the energy that is your hand. You now are not actually feeling the "hand" instead, you are feeling the energy of the vibrational elements that make up your hand. The word hand becomes a concept, & feeling the energy that makes up your hand connects you to the vibration of our cells & of our life force.

Now visualize the sun in the centre of your body. Stand & press your feet into the floor as you feel your trunk elongating. Visualize your entire body radiating with light & vibrations from the centre.

Practice sensing the flow of mana, or prana, in your body ever day, whenever your can.
