Comments: To tap the reserve flow of the kundalini energy in your body, you activate the sexual energy in exercise 1, the navel energy in 2 and 3, and rnove that energy up the spine in 4A. Dunng exercise 4B, the thyroid gland secretes and opens circulation to the upper brain. This clears your thinking and adds energy to the will. The last two exercises charge and strengthen your electromagnetic field and stabilize the new energy state you have created. This set gives you an extra resistance to the fluctuations of the environment. |
