Ten Point Exercise: A Way To Move Deeper Into The Etheric

by Jim Gilkeson

Author of Energy Healing: A Pathway to Inner Growth,

Here, we will follow the general etheric circulation and the way it

moves on the front of the body-up the left front of the body and down

the right front. This time, we will use a number of the energy-active

positions you will have learned from other issues of this newsletter,

as well as the dominant direction of the etheric flow. (Should these

be new for you, you can find more discussion in the book, Energy

Healing: A Pathway to Inner Growth. We will also discover that our

eyes are energy-active positions.

In this exercise, we will "connect the dots," moving between these

landmarks on the river of energy that flows around our body. At each

position named in the exercise, we will stop and allow the contact to

intensify. This will bring us deeper into the etheric. Pay special

attention to the crossover from the left to the right side of your

body, which in this exercise takes place when you get to your eyes.

Here we go:

Exercise Steps:

1. LEFT FOOT CHAKRA: Bring your awareness to your left foot chakra.

This minor chakra is located in the center of the sole of your foot.

You contact it the same way as you do any energy-active position; make

a feeling contact with the position on the sole of your foot and stay

with it about a minute so that the contact can intensify.

2. LEFT HIP POINT: Now move slowly with your awareness up the front of

your leg on the skin surface to your left hip point. Again, it can be

helpful to imagine a breeze of air, or the light touch of a hand,

moving slowly on the skin surface. Pause at the left hip point for a

minute, letting the contact deepen.

3. LEFT HAND CHAKRA: When that contact has been allowed to deepen,

move "through the air" to your left hand chakra. This minor chakra is

located in the center of the palm of your hand. Take a minute to allow

this contact to build up.

4. LEFT SHOULDER POINT: When you have developed a good feeling contact

with this position, move your awareness on the skin surface up your

arm to your left shoulder point. Again, this is like slowly,

consciously stroking the surface of your skin with the paintbrush of

your awareness.

5. LEFT EYE: When your left shoulder point is activated from about a

minute of feeling contact, move on the skin surface up your neck and

the side of your face to your left eye. There, make a feeling contact

with your entire left eyeball. Stay with this contact for about a minute.

6. RIGHT EYE: Now move to your right eye and make your feeling contact

with your entire right eyeball. Stay with this contact for about a minute.

7. RIGHT SHOULDER POINT: Now move your awareness down the right side

of your face and neck to your right shoulder point. Remember not to

"jump," but rather stay on the skin surface. Stay with your feeling

contact with the right shoulder point for about a minute.

8. RIGHT HAND CHAKRA: Now move down your arm and make a feeling

contact with your right hand chakra. Stay here for a minute or so.

9. RIGHT HIP POINT: Move "through the air," this time, to your right

hip point. Stay with this feeling contact for a minute or so.

10. RIGHT FOOT CHAKRA: Now move your awareness on the skin surface

down the front of your leg to your right foot chakra.

11. FINISH THE EXERCISE: When you have spent a minute in a feeling

contact with this position, then simply release your focus from any

particular position on your body or in your etheric. Take another

minute or so to come back to your normal state of mind. This would be

good time to take a few notes on your inner experiences during the

exercise.

Here are some questions to help you reflect on your experience:

Which positions were easiest for you to contact?

Which positions were most difficult for you to contact?

What differences, if any, did you feel between the upward and downward

movements?

What, if anything, happened when you crossed over from the left to the

right side of your body at your eyes?
