Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
Place the focus of your attention,
In other words,
The alchemical container of your awareness on your pelvic floor.
This is the area of your body at the lowest part of your abdomen and the cradle of your pelvis.
Find a rhythm that is pleasurable for you and breathe deeply and comfortably,
Drawing the breath into your belly.
As you inhale,
Let the lower abdomen expand and as you exhale,
Pull in the lower abdomen.
This form of breathing is called abdominal breathing and may feel odd to you at first.
After a while,
However,
It will feel natural and comfortable.
Throughout all these exercises,
It is very important that all breaths be gentle and comfortable.
Nothing should ever be forced in these practices.
As you inhale,
Imagine the energy of your breath reaching down into every nook and cranny of your pelvis.
The reason for this is that you are causing Sekem to steer and Sekem or your life force is cradled in the pelvic area.
As you exhale,
Keep your focus in the pelvis.
This will cause the energy of Sekem to build or intensify in the pelvic area.
Continue this for a couple of minutes or so.
Then imagine a subtle energy pathway or channel that runs from your perineum up to the top of your head,
The crown.
The perineum is located at the lowest point of your torso,
Midway between your genitals and the anus.
Next there is a slight but significant shifting of your attention.
As you inhale,
Keep your focus in the pelvis as before.
But when you exhale,
Shift your attention,
The alchemical container of your awareness,
Into this channel.
This will cause the energy of Sekem to enter the channel and begin to move upward.
As you continue to exhale,
Move your attention all the way up the channel and into your head.
Then repeat the breathing pattern all over again.
In other words,
Each time you inhale,
Shift your attention to the pelvis and hold it there throughout the entire inhale.
As you exhale,
Shift your attention to the channel and begin to move your focus up the channel towards the head.
Repeat as many times as needed to clearly sense a movement of energy up the secondary jet and into the head.
As you inhale,
Shift your attention to the pelvis.
As you exhale,
Shift your attention to the channel and keep moving your focus up the channel towards your crown.
Inhaling and shifting your attention to the pelvis,
Holding it there throughout the entire inhalation.
Exhaling and shifting your attention to the channel and moving upwards towards the head.
These exercises are built upon each other,
So it is important to master each one before proceeding to the next.
Make sure that you feel a definite movement of subtle energy up the secondary jet and into the head.
If you don't have a clear sense of this,
Repeat the exercise over and over again until you do.
And note about uncomfortable physical sensations.
Occasionally a person might experience tension or headache from these exercises.
This may occur if there is habitual tension in the muscles of the jaw,
The face,
And the neck since this type of muscle tension tends to constrict the movement of sekhem or life force as it moves up into the head.
If you experience discomfort at any time during these exercises,
You should stop,
Put them aside and return to them later.
If you find that this type of tension arises whenever you do the exercises,
You might try yawning since yawning helps to lessen muscle tension in the face,
Jaws,
And shoulders.
Simply yawn as you inhale and exhale.
It can be quite effective and besides that,
It's fun.
If tension persists,
I suggest you shift your attention to the area of tension and imagine that the tension dissolves and leaves with each exhale.
Try it for a few minutes.
It often dissolves this type of muscular tension quite nicely.
