The absorption of Universal energy to help the manifestation has been the forte of many mystics throughout the centuries. Here, I share a threefold technique that has worked for me and some honorable mystics I know.

The tools needed to get the best out of this practice are concentration, imagination and ‘Willpower’. If you’ve passionately practiced all of the exercises assigned in the previous studies, these tools should be close at hand.

PRACTICE 1 – ABSORPTION OF UNIVERSAL ENERGY

Section A – With bright pink light

1. Sit upright in a quiet place, where you can enjoy some privacy.

2. Close your eyes and let your hands rest calmly on your thighs.

3. Imagine a bright pink beam of light extending from your heart.

4. Count to 9 heartbeats

5. Imagine this beam gathering into a glowing ball of pink light approximately 3 feet in diameter and hanging 2 feet above your head.

6. Visualize brilliant rays of pink light penetrating the crown of your head and traveling along your spinal cord to the base or root of your spine. When it gets here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count 15 heartbeats during this part of the visualization.

7. Next, imagine that the glowing pink ball of light is growing larger and descending at the same time. First it covers the head and shoulders and finally the entire body is enveloped in this bright pink light. You are surrounded by pink divine energy and you can feel it finding its way throughout your body and filling you with universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.

Section B – With bright blue light

1. With your eyes still closed, imagine a beam of bright blue light coming from your throat.

2. Count to 9 heartbeats.

3. Imagine that this beam is gathered into a glowing ball of blue light about 3 feet in diameter and hangs 2 feet above your head.

4. Visualize brilliant rays of blue light penetrating the crown of your head and traveling along your spinal cord to the base or root of your spine. When it gets here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count 15 heartbeats during this part of the visualization.

5. Next, imagine that the glowing blue ball of light is getting larger and descending at the same time. First it covers the head and shoulders and finally the whole body is enveloped in this brilliant blue light. You are surrounded by blue Divine energy and you can feel it finding its way throughout your body and filling you with Universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.

Section C – With bright white light

1. With your eyes still closed, this time imagine a beam of bright white light extending from the space between your eyebrows, also known as the “third eye.”

2. Count to 9 heartbeats.

3. Imagine this beam gathering into a brilliant ball of white light approximately 3 feet in diameter and hanging 2 feet above your head.

4. Visualize brilliant rays of white light penetrating the crown of your head and traveling along your spinal cord to the base or root of your spine. When it gets here, it spreads everywhere, filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. Count 15 heartbeats during this part of the visualization.

5. Next, imagine that the bright white ball of light is getting larger and descending at the same time. First it covers the head and shoulders and finally the whole body is enveloped in this brilliant white light. You are surrounded by white divine energy, and you can fill it by finding its way throughout your body and filling yourself with universal energy. You feel strong and renewed in spirit. Count 12 heartbeats in this part of the visualization.

*This marks the end of a cycle. Repeat the cycle three times and Practice 1 is complete.

Transition between practice 1 and practice 2

Take a full breath in and exhale (emptying your lungs). As you do this, imagine the white light that surrounded you at the end of practice 1, place it over your head again. It is 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet above your head. Now practice 2 begins.

PRACTICE 2

1. Take a full breath to the count of 4 heartbeats. As you do this, imagine the white ball of light shining brightly above your head and in all directions (is not entering your body at this stage).

2. Exhale counting 11 heartbeats. As you exhale, imagine the brilliant white rays from the ball of light above you penetrating the crown of your head and filling every cell in your body with Universal energy. This is the end of a round. Note that you do not hold your breath in this practice.

3. Practice 10 rounds of this: white light shining on you as you inhale (4 heartbeats) and bright white rays entering your body as you exhale (11 heartbeats). This should be the end of Practice 2.

Transition between practice 2 and practice 3

Take a full breath in and exhale (emptying your lungs). As you do this, imagine the brilliant white ball of light above you rising and falling at the same time. First it covers your head, then your shoulders, and finally it envelops you, at the moment when you empty your lungs. Now Practice 3 begins.

PRACTICE 3 – UNIVERSAL ENERGY ABSORPTION USING RHYTHMIC BREATHING.

1. Your eyes are still closed and you are surrounded by bright white light.

2. Take a full breath, counting 8 heartbeats. As you inhale, imagine drawing universal energy from the white light that surrounds you to fill every cell in your body.

3. Hold your breath for a count of 4 beats. In this interval, imagine the Universal energy in your body (in addition to what has been stored in your cells), being stored as a reserve in your solar plexus. Fix your attention on your solar plexus and use your ‘Willpower’ to direct the reserve energy there for storage.

4. Exhale (emptying your lungs) to a count of 8 beats. As you do this, imagine any universal energy that is not needed in your body at the moment going out through the soles of your feet and the crown of your head.

5. Count 4 heartbeats in the interval between the end of the exhalation and the beginning of the next inhalation. During this period, think about how energetic you are becoming, filling yourself with Universal energy. Also keep your attention on the bright white light that surrounds you, from which you will draw more energy. This is the end of round 1.

6. Repeat up to 10 rounds.

Note: There should be a smooth transition between Practices 1, 2 and 3. The three Practices constitute one session, and there is no interruption. If you find your mind wandering elsewhere, calmly bring it back to the task at hand. Practices 1, 2 and 3 combined should be practiced at least once a day, ideally first thing in the morning. It won’t take long for you to see the power of this trio in your workday.

Over the course of the day, if you feel tired, it’s okay to separate the 3 Practices and practice whichever one you feel comfortable with in the workplace. You will feel revitalized immediately.
