Chris writes, “I have a question regarding the energy building exercises. Would doing these exercises every day really increase the speed of the growing process? I’ve studied a bit about Qigong before and learned about the circulating of the energy through the body channels, so of course it makes sense it would help. I was thinking about doing them every day right after work, followed by listening to one of the recordings in order to have the most free flowing energy through my body. “
[Chris had another question related to transmutation of sexual energy for height increase, but I'll respond to it later.]
Last night, just before I woke up, I had a dream of Mantak Chia being almost 7 feet tall. I thought “what a strange dream”, as in real life, Mantak Chia is of what I’d say to be an average height – until I read your email and began to write this post.
When you work with energy and consciousness – even if you are only practicing circulation of energy – if you have no energy, you have nothing to play with – Mantak Chia used to point that truth particularly when it came to exercises related to transmutation of sexual energy, which I deal with later.
Actually, every esoteric tradition follows the same motto, since you are working with energy and consciousness. Before you work on creating on manifesting anything, before you work on any change, you first “raise” or “generate” energy – without energy, you have nothing to play with. The more energy you have, the faster change you get.
Since in esoteric system you go through a thorough mind training, you learn and experience many different ways of building energy. In Huna, and in many other traditions, you raise energy through breathing; in some systems you raise energy through chanting or dancing, in many systems; some systems will suggest celibacy or practices for transmutation of sexual energy into spiritual, some will suggest practices for aligning yourself with the infinite – through meditation and most often through devotion [in love we get vibrationally joined with that which we love or rather we begin to resonate with it and to express the attributes of that which we love to varying degrees; and the purpose of different kinds of rituals is again to assist in raising / generating and focusing the energy.
Modern hypnosis doesn’t use any energy building exercises. Instead of being directed to consciously align yourself with boundless source of energy through visualization or breathing, you are more likely to be directed to simply drift as deeply as you can – to access deeper levels of mind, the same levels of mind you enter when you are sleeping and your body is naturally regenerating and recuperating. Instead of working yourself up emotionally to build up energy, you may be asked to create a leverage through whatever motivates you to have a particular change, or you may use words which already have great emotional impact upon you, and therefore to which you have associated a great deal of energy.
You may find that at different times you like to generate energy in different ways, depending on the mood you are in, and depending on your personal preferences and affinities for different kinds of mind-body practice. I suggest you experiment and work with that which resonates with you the most. The results you experience will speak for themselves.
