Human Energy system - 12 primary meridians

Although, no previous knowledge of energy system is necessary to turn regular energy into spiritual energy by meditation, as it is a natural process. The more you meditate, the better quality experiences you will have as a result of accumulation of spiritual energy and development of the subtle energy body. For those curious minds who want to know what happens and how, its helpful to know how energy travels in our body, generally. The information below and the photo have been taken from other websites to help understand the energy system.

Note the information in the previous blog titled 'Empty Vessel'. It mentions the union of the male and female energy within, the yin and yang classification of meridians willl help you understand how one body can have arousal without intercourse. Here I must mention that Guru Nanak laid emphasis on the feeling of uncounditional love that helps the body to feel arousal and thus cause magic. Without the feeling, the arousal is impossible and so Yoga or any other practice is reduced to mere exercise or ritual.

One who is filled with the Word of the Guru's Shabad enshrines love for the Lord.




























Level- Limb - Energetic Level - Organ Name - Element
EARTH Hand - Greater Yin - Lung Hand - Metal
Hand - Bright Yang - Large Intestine - Metal
Foot - Greater Yin - Spleen Foot - Earth
Foot - Bright Yang - Stomach - Earth
HEAVEN Hand - Lesser Yin - Heart - Fire
Hand - Greater Yang - Small Intestine - Fire
Foot - Lesser Yin - Kidney Water - Fire
HUMAN Hand - Absolute Yin - Pericardium Hand- Fire
Hand - Lesser Yang - Triple Heater - Fire
Foot - Absolute Yin - Liver Foot - Wood
Foot - Lesser Yang - Gallbladder - Wood


As we move from the exterior to deeper in the body, we move from Yang to Yin in the order of six energetic levels listed in the chart above: Greater Yang, Bright Yang, Lesser Yang, Greater Yin, Lesser Yin, and Absolute Yin.. When disease invades the body, it moves from the exterior levels to the interior levels as it becomes a deeper, more serious condition. The meridians that share an energetic level exist in Hand and Foot pairs, such as Lung and Spleen meridians, to form the Greater Yin level.

There are also Yin-Yang pairs of meridians which are represented by each horizontal row in the table. For instance, the Lung meridian is paired with the Large Intestine meridian. These Yin-Yang paired meridians have additional connecting meridians that strengthen the connections between these two meridians and their corresponding organs.

Empty Vessel - Enlightenment of Water and Fire

The following information has been taken from the website below http://www.cejournal.org/GRD/Alchemy.htm

Internal Alchemy, with Michael Winn
The alchemical formulas that I began studying had three different levels: the Lesser, Greater, and Greatest Enlightenment of Water and Fire (Kan and Li). These practices tap into different fields of polarized yin and yang qi to dissolve jing and build original (yuan) qi and yuan shen. You learn how to gather the lesser elixir and greater elixir, the essence of your consciousness distilled from "cooking" the jing, qi and shen from the microcosm and macrocosm. This builds a yang energy body.

The Lesser Water and Fire is called sexual alchemy, as it couples the inner male and inner female essences within the physical body. This creates a tremendously healing and blissful field of yuan qi that is used to dissolve blockages in all the meridians, core channels, and dan tiens as well as clearing the vital organ, nervous, lymphatic, bone marrow and blood circulatory system. You open your inner eye in each dan tien and learn to manage your family of inner souls. If you receive the transmission of this formula, other formulas often unfold spontaneously.

The Greater Kan and Li is called Sun-Moon alchemy, as it couples the solar and lunar essences to dissolve the boundary between your personal energy body and the energy body of planet Earth. We meditate in the very core of the planet, its central dan tien and doorway to the original shen of the earth being. We connect our personal inner souls to the planetary soul powers of the five directions (north, south, east, west, and center).

The Greatest Kan and Li is called Soul/Heart Alchemy, as it opens up a direct relationship between your personal Heart shen and the Great Shen of the Sun (or Solar Logos in the West). This practice releases your fear of death and dissolves the karmic, genetic and planetary influences of your personal astrology. We learn to listen to the planetary tones and the central sound current flowing through the Sun.

The Sealing of the Senses (Star Alchemy) relates to the upper dan tien, the pole star and the black hole at the center of this universe. The Congress of Heaven and Earth, and the Union of Man with the Tao, are the final formulas.

These last three formulas connect to the three levels of immortality beyond enlightenment. Traditionally, the Chinese are prohibited from teaching these openly, lest they fall into the wrong hands and bring the wrath of heaven.

I feel the age of secrecy is past. The rigorous training filters out the unworthy and half-serious. Part of my work reinterpreting these Taoist methods is to make them accessible for Westerners.

DMT, Pineal gland and the darkness for meditation

The following info is from the following website http://www.universal-tao.com/dark_room/enlightenment.html

The Tao says: ‘When you go into the dark and this becomes total, the darkness soon turns into light’Every day the body needs tryptophan, an essential amino acid. This is converted into serotonin and melatonin (average 2-5mg./ day). When you are in the dark room the melatonin is able to build up gradually. When this store reaches a sufficient amount (15-20mg.) the body then produces pinoline (a super conductor). It also realizes that it no longer needs any more melatonin.

At this point the tryptophan is then able to adopt a secondary function of producing 5MEO and DMT (Dimethyltryptamine). When you reach the ‘DMT state’ you begin to function consciously from the various psychic centers or chakras. The bodily processes of ‘Healing Love’ are then combined with those of the Dark Room. The human states of true compassion and arousal create a new chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This ‘special’ vibration occurs at a frequency of 8Hz. ‘You need the orgasmic vibration to arouse this crossover process which leads to the ‘two giving birth to three’; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion and arousal leading to orgasm. Both are inextricably linked to love. When this ‘love-vibration’ reaches the pineal gland a new hormone is produced, which in turn creates whole body conductivity.

Only when you feel the waves of orgasmic vibration and unconditional love for the self and others can the process be activated and the essence of the darkroom magnified. When the pinoline is triggered you also activate your clairvoyant, clairsentient and clairaudient powers. You may see light and visions, hear music and gain phenomenal insight. Cosmic particles, which have the same cell structures as humans (and from which the Tao believes you evolved) are attracted to you magnetically. You are able to decode this universal information carried from outer space, which may be as old as nothingness itself. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence and begin to understand the order of things. You return to the womb, the cocoon of our material structure and nature’s original Dark Room.

2012 disasters approaching

Today Lennox Head was hit by a mini-tornado, a force not common in Australia. 100 people injured.
The website www.dailyhotnew.org has declared 2010 as the year of natural disasters already. What can we expect in the next 30 months?

The best solution to have immunity from natural disasters that I can think of is firstly open your third eye, meditate and receive the power to dematerialise and then materialise again like Guru Nanak could; and seek Gods protection.

Have I been able to do any of the above? I wish I could do dematerialisation and materialisation like many Americal Indian spiritual people of today can. I am that unfortunate person that has earned and then lost so much. A year ago it was a different story, then I had Gods protection and the third eye was developing so fast to the extent that I could see things as clear as in a TV screen. Why God changed his mind about me? Was it that I kept refusing whatever powers were given? Was I too suspicious of whatever miracle happened? Or was it that I opened my mouth and told some wrong people what was happening to me? Or was it simply that without knowing I had become proud of myself and considered those gifts as my achievements. You can judge me. I simply don't know. All know is that I have experience the frequency of up to 600 of Joy and peace and within seconds someones lusty hands reduced that vibration to 20 Guilt. It has taken me a whole year to now become normal and start over again.

In the book 2013: the end of days or the new beginning", p.37, is mentioned the view of Barbara Hand Clow who believes that time and evolutionary acceleration will be completed on Oct 28, 2011, yet Maya people believed that the cycle will complete on the Dec 21, 2012. Mayan calendar reveals that the Galactic underworld of Internet-global economy started on Jan 4, 1999, and the Universal underworld of conscious revolution will start on Feb 10, 2111.

With so less time left to meet God through meditation, while still in human body that is so necessary to raise one's spirits vibration, why has my enthusiasm to meditate gone so down?

Levels of human consciousness

In the book '2013: the end of days or a new beginning?' p 81-82, there is a section on 'Levels of human consciousness' and the info is taken from David R. Hawkings's Power and Force. Hawkins has defined a range of values accurately corresponding to well-recognized sets of attitudes and emotions localised by specific attractor energy fields. The book explains that the level of 300 is not twice the amplitude of the 150 level, but rather is 10 to the 300th power. This denotes just how little an increase in power is needed to result in a enormous jump in consciousness. Any level before 20 is totally destructive to humanity.

Energy level Emotions/ Attitudes
20 Shame
30 Guilt
50 Apathy
75 Grief
100 Fear
125 Desire
150 Anger
175 Pride
200 Courage
250 Neutrality
310 Willingness
350 Acceptance
400 Reason
500 Love
540 Joy
600 Peace
700-1000 Enlightenment

Hawkins suggests that current level of 207 is when power first appears. Its the level of courage moving towards neutrality. He says that only 4% of world population calibrates at an energy level of 500 or above. Only 0.4% will reach 540 and only 1 person in 10 million will reach 600 or above.
Guru Nanak also writes "Kotan Mei Nanak Kou ...."

Hawkins suggests that one single avatar operating at the 700 + level or above would counterbalance the collective negative energy levels of humanity today. He also suggests that growth, either individually or collectively, can take place slowly or suddenly.

My experience of the Great White Light gushing through my 10th gate, just after 10 minutes of meditation that I did first time with full devotion and gratitude suggests that such spiritual growth that raises your level only happens suddenly with Gods grace. The moments you have the slightest doubt that you are the special chosen one, this level is also taken back from you within seconds. So if you ever receive anything special with Gods grace, don't be fooled that its because you deserve it. Its only that God had mercy on you. Believing any other way, you will loose the power and bliss soon. I am a living proof of this miracle.

Keep that spine straight and don't share bed

I realise that when I sleep very close to anybody and my body touches theirs, either child or husband, I find it hard to do my mini meditations while half asleep at night. Since that stopped I found less and less urge to meditate during the day as well. Other things took priority. Now I don't even mediate compared to how good I was last year. 24 hours a day, all I ever use to think of was meditation. I didn't want to waste one moment and I had so much enthusiasm, as if today might the day I meet God. What happened to me?

I also suggest you keep your spine straight at night when you sleep. If you have been meditating during the day, keeping the spine straight will bring you extra energy even at night to be so fresh the next day even when you will do mini- meditations while sleeping.

How to start the meditation?

Meditation is awareness of the present moment. We live our daily life either thinking about the past or worrying about the future. It is important to be present for sometime each day. If you are not present, then you have missed your class, so to speak.

Meditation is a way to find the void within this vessel called body. If the vessel is not empty, we can't fill it with anything pure. So place your attention on the following points for three to five minutes each. Monitor your experience at each level:

1. Sense of sitting in the present time
2. Awareness of sensations arising from the environment in the present time
3. Awareness of sensations arising in the body in the present time
4. Awareness of emotions arising in the present time
5. Awareness of thoughts arising in the present time
6. Awareness of I AM statements arising in the present time, with associated thoughts, feelings, and memories
7. Awareness of memories and impressions bubbling up from the Subconscious
8. Awareness of the present time being recorded in memory
9. Focus your attention in turn on each chakra of the Subconscious mind in the spinal tube

base of spine
behind the navel
behind the solar plexus
behind the heart,
at the place where the neck meets the shoulders
at the base of the skull
at the point where the nose meets the forehead
between the eyebrows

You will encounter a presence behind this center that silently observes. Focus more intently on this presence. You will begin to see light emanating from this presence.
This is your third eye, which allows you to see within when your two eyes are closed.

Remain in this state for as long as you wish. Then retrace your steps through each focal point until you are fully grounded in your normal waking awareness.

Note: If you start to have a headache, stop focusing on the third eye immediately. For the next few days, only focus on the heart. Headache means you are not being aware of this point but focusing too hard. You can do permanent damage if you continue 3rd eye meditation the wrong way.

Soul and the five elements

"The appearance changes and the form may disappear, but the spirit remains because the life is in the spirit and flows from within its own inexhaustible source."

"Spirit substance can't be seen because it is vibrating faster than the speed of light. It appears not to be there. We might liken it to a spoked wheel." says Kenneth Meadows in Shamanic Spirit, p. 163.

According to Betty Eding in her book 'Embraced by the light', spirit is made of a shimmering material that looks like glass or white sugar. Isn't that what some call orbs! The two shimmering bodies of light that I met once, felt a bit bigger than what I have read about Orbs on the wikipedia.

Meadows further says that spirit is what connects and holds things together with its great bonding power. Spirit is made of love because it emanates from the source of Love! Love has a reality of its own so it can't be given. It is a spiritual reality because it is the true nature of pure spirit.

If the above is true then Guru Nanak's, the prophet of the heart, the founder of sikh religion; reference to 'The Truth' means 'Love'! Does then 'Satnam - True Name' means 'Love'? Is that why the majority of hymns in the Guru Granth Sahib are about Love for God? Is that why Nanak preferred singing hymns of Gods Love in musical notes because music generates the feelings, to simply learning yogic postures in a mechanical fashion. Yogic practices can help immencely if we have the true feeling of love and the yearning to meet the husband God.

For more info on Guru Nanak see http://www.dlshq.org/saints/gurunanak.htm

Guru nanak's biggest teaching was Prema Bhagati. Above all rituals, doctrines and yoga practices, Guru Nanak encouraged the people to simply love God and He shall reveal himself to you. Guru Nanak says all yogic practices are a waste of time, if you don't have the yearning to be one with your lover God. This comes to pure feeling. Feeling is generated in the heart. Guru Nanak said that no religion is better than the other, anyone who follows the essence of their religion, which is to develop love for God, can find God with God's grace.

Meadows says that Soul awareness is related to element of fire because Soul is our Body of Light. We receive warmth, pure feeling, radiance, illumination and enlightenment from the Soul.

"Mind awareness is the element of air. Mind is where the movement of though takes place. In this dimension we receive impressions, generate ideas and concepts and form opinions.

Physical awareness is the element of Water.

Spirit awareness is Earth element as earth is inertia, stillness that grounds and harmonizes. Earth experience is essential for the cultivation of the spirit."

If the above is true, then the baptism ceremony that involves water - like in Sikhism and Christianity, is to get the physical body ready, by cleansing it, to understand and be able to nurture the energy of the spirit and soul. We already have the air overworking. We need to calm down the air to give a chance for the earth to illuminate the fire.

If everything is made of five elements, then the fifth element ether must be the nothingness within us and it must be cold.

The meditation experience will prove to you that when you start deep meditation first the body produces excess heat. This heat purifies the body and fixes the blockages of stress and disease created by negative thoughts in the nadis and muscles. When you feel tingling/ itching in any specific part of the body, don't be distracted from meditation, simply pay attention to your breath and focus on another part of the body. You will feel the energy moving in your body. as soon as this energy makes way to move forward from the troubled spot, the itching will go away by itself. This way the body gets cleansed more and more with regular meditation.

Once the body is cleansed with the heat, it will start to cool down.You will feel very cold during the meditation. You might feel cool air just above your head. My sister is at a stage where the heads gets too cold upto her ears.

Soul is the body of light that responds to the pure feeling. If you sincerely wish to experience / know / see this energy; this intelligent energy will reveal itself to you. Deeper the desire, more intense will be the experience. As the intensity of the feeling changes each day, so does the experience. For this miracle beyond words to happen, the body must be perfectly still like a rock and yet as light as air. Tao philosophy mentions the importance of both beingness and nothingness. A cup is being for a reason, so that it can hold nothingness inside it. If the cup can't hold nothingness, it has no purpose. Same way our body must be ready to hold the nothingness before the soul can reveal itself and can peacefully sit in its own home in the heart where the pure feeling is generated.

Temple or Gurdwara etiquette.

When you visit a temple, usually you hear someone singing with harmonium and table. Sometimes there are bells, chimta and chain as well. Regular temple visitors go there as a social outing - to show off your clothes, to hear some music and to get fed for free and to have a chat with the community members. More importantly, its time to please God and getting materialistic wishes fulfilled by donating a few dollars to the temple.

While this is all fun and at the same time provides a chance that you might actually hear and understand something accidentally that might change your life, that is a very low goal. Gurbani (Guru's word) calls such actions the actions of a manmukh (a materialistic person who is not seeking spirituality.

The proper reason to visit temple is to seek spiritual life. After bowing to the Guru, the way to sit in the temple is this -

Sit on the floor by crossing your legs.
Make sure your backbone is straight
Close your eyes
Listen to music initially, then start observing your breath.
Shabad / hymn is giving a message and music is there to generate the feeling
While regulating breath, pay attention to the main message and generate that feeling of Birha / feeling that you want to meet the creator - your father / mother/ husband / lover.
Get so involved in your secret talk with God/ creator by feeling that the singing goes in the background.
Slowly after 10 or more minutes, you will not be breathing consciously as you are now focused on either a point on your body, between the eyes, heart or the top of the head.
Just be an observer and long for something to happen, but do not expect anything specific.
Today might be your lucky day and you might experience something spiritual. If you do experience even a glipms of that, you will try meditating in this way overtime, as you will know the pleasure and joy that meditation brings that no money or relationship can bring.

My sister's opening of the 10th Gate and Saint Kabir's account

My sister rung me to ask about her latest experience. Last week, during her meditation she became very scared when she felt the sensation that her head was wide open and anything could come in through this door. Then she heard a very loud noise as if the roof of her house fell apart. She was so scared that her eyes opened straightaway.

I reminded her of Saint Kabir's account of this experience -

During the conversation she told me that before the above experience she was experiencing the feeling "I am God, I am truth, whatever I speak is truth." and she was astonished how come she didn't know this all through her life.

I can't believe she said all this. She doesn't read all the stuff about other religions that I read. She wouldn't have a clue that Jesus as well as Hindu practitioners do "I am" meditation. Guru Nanak and Kabir only do "Tuhin Tuhin - you God are the absolute" not "I am". Although fundamentally there is no difference as we believe that everything is one God. So by that definition there is no separate You and I. But from language perspective - we Sikhs are never preached "I AM" and yet my sister so innocently told me what she experienced. I am so proud of her.

I encouraged her to either change the focus from 10th gate (Dasam Dawar) to 3rd eye or Solar Plexus. But she wanted to continue with gently pushing the 10th gate with her outgoing breath. She was just worried that anything could come in (may be evil?). So I encouraged her to pray to the Guru to be with her and help her throught this journey. I also told her not to worry about anything else, that from where the light of God will enter and she will become one with it. I reminded her what Guru Nanak has written about the experience when God invited him to his house and Nanaks explanation in Japji Sabib about the millions of musical instruments playing and singers singing Lords praises there. According to Guru Nanak, the experience was so mesmerising that he forgot to wish / ask for anything - Dhadi ko mangan chit na awai.
I also reminded her about the gurbani lines - Charan Na Chado Sareer Tal Jaai - I will not leave Lords feet even if my pysical body is taken away from me. Our Granthi told me that sometimes people get stuck at this stage as they feeling that they will die. I encouraged my sister to not worry about her physical body as nothing wrong will happen to it. She should just focus on her goal of meeting the One God. May God give her the strength to enjoy her experience with God without fear of loosing her life. I would so love to meet her after such experience.
