Energy circuit🔗

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

In this meditation, we are going to create a closed energy circuit by linking hands and meditating together. This connected circle of people generates a powerful energy cycle. This meditation will be still more effective if you are sitting in the presence of a master, or before an energized deity. Since an enlightened being, an energized idol or a yantra are powerhouses of the Existential energy, their energy field can raise the vibrations of the entire group. If two of the participants can make contact with the master or idol, drawing them into the energy circuit, the energy flow will be greatly enhanced, and the whole group can directly absorb the energy released by them.

Duration: Maximum 21 minutes

All the participants sit in a circle, holding hands.

If there are a large number of people, you may sit in several concentric circles. If men and women are both present in the group, they may sit alternately, if that is acceptable to all the participants. Else, they can sit in concentric circles, the men forming one circle and the women forming the other. When holding hands, ensure that your left palm is facing up, to receive energy from the person at your left. Your right palm should be facing down, to offer this energy to the person at your right. The left side represents the passive, receptive, feminine energy. The right side represents the active, expressive, masculine energy. Each of us is carrying both these energies. As a group, when we receive energy with the left hand, and give it with the right hand, it helps balance the energies of the entire group.

Step 1 (9 minutes):

With eyes closed, visualize that the existential energy is flowing into you from the person on your left, and flowing outward to the person on your right. Feel the vibration, experience yourself as part of this connected whole. Feel the current of love, peace and bliss connecting the whole group. You are neither giving or taking, you are simply an open channel for this ever-flowing energy. Allow your individual identity to be dissolved in this cosmic current. Allow yourself to flow in love and bliss!

Duration: Maximum 21 minutes

Step 2 (9 minutes):

Now, feel that this energy of peace and bliss is rippling outward from the circle, spreading out to embrace the whole world. As more energy is released from the group, more and more cosmic energy rushes in to take its place. By healing the world, you are actually healing yourself!

Step 3 (3 minutes):

Releasing your hands from the circle, spend a few minutes offering your gratitude to Existence for showering upon you, for making you a channel of the cosmic energy. Remaining in this prayerful mod, relax and open your eyes.

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

This meditation can be done individually also, but becomes much more powerful when practiced in a group. The group may sit in a circle or may all sit facing the same direction.

Duration: Minimum 21 minutes

Step 1 (9 minutes):

Sit with your spine upright and your eyes closed. Visualize an ocean of luminous, soft white light in the region above your head. Now bring your awareness to sahasrara chakra (crown center). The sahasrara chakra is your point of contact with the Existential energy. Visualize this light entering you through this chakra. Your head is filled with this soft light. Next, it travels through all your limbs, energizing and rejuvenating them. Then light flows down to your feet. Remain with this energy for a while, allowing it to fill you and circulate through you.

Step 2 (12 minutes):

When you feel brimful of the light, you are ready to share it with the world. Bring both your hands to the sides of your chest, palms facing outwards and fingers pointing upwards. This is the ‘sending’ position. Now visualize the light leaving your body through your palms and radiating outwards to the world. For the first few moments, continue to be aware of your sahasrara chakra, so that the cosmic energy flows in to take the place of the energy leaving your body. Even if you can’t remember to do both together, don’t bother. The existential energy is a conscious, intelligent energy which knows where to flow! After a few seconds, once the energy current has been set up, you can focus on sending light alone. If you wish to send light to a particular person or group, or a place or country, you may do so. Close the meditation by expressing your gratitude to the existential energy.
