Some Potent Self Actualization /

Healing Practices

Presented here is a small selection of powerful and efficient

practices forself actualization / self realization,self healing

and clearing yourself of 'foreign energies' and 'entities',

including allgarbage('dark force')connections and

influences.

Unlike most popular healing methods, these practices (apart

from Tonglen Breathing) are generally grounding in effect,

so that, apart from the odd exception that I explain about,

there is no harmful effect in their regular use.

If you want to print this page,

you can save precious

resources by reducing the

print size first.

In Firefox you do this in Print

Preview, and in Internet

Explorer you do it by going to

View > Text size and choosing

a smaller size.

However, I recommend that

if possible you BOOKMARK

it but do NOT print it, for the

simple reason that these pages

are frequently updated, and

also in a printed copy you

would not be able to click on

the many explanatory

hyperlinks.

Introduction - Self actualization practices with a difference!

I give details below of some simple but very potent practices and procedures that will take

you forward easily, safely and painlessly in various major aspects of your selfhealing/selfactualizationprocess. For the most part the methods are not fully original creations of my

own, but adaptations, sometimes extensively so, of particular methods that I had gained from

various sources. Thus what could be said to be 'uniquely mine' is not so much a full

origination of individual methods but really this particular compendium of methods and the

genuine self actualization context within which I present them. It would thus be uningenuous

of people in certain quarters to go claiming - as has been happening from one particular

quarter* - that I am passing off their own methods (which they claimed to be their own

'intellectual property) as my own creations. There is actually no issue of copyright, because

that would arise only if I were reproducing somebody's copyright descriptions / instructions of

particular practices here, and I have been consistent in not doing that and writing on this site

only my own original presentations.

* Actually, although the individuals involved were strenuously making out as though they

were the sole originators of their methods, any such claims would have to be taken with a big

shovelful of salt anyway. The particular methods cannot have come to those people straight

out of a vacuum or void, and it is clear to me that they are all simply those individuals' own

adaptations of practices and methods that had come to people in various parts of the planet, in

various parts of human history - and it is simply their determination to make money out of

them and suppress what they see as unwelcome competition that causes them to seek to claim

Although the practices are effective as they are, their potency can be greatly enhanced by

ongoing use of any or - for greatest effect - ALL of those in the following short list. By the

same token, your use of any of the practices given on this page will tend to greatly increase

the effectiveness of the Clarity-Sphere, so in other words there is liable to be a marked

synergy between these energy devices and the practices - though just how much would vary a

lot between different people. It is the more deeply aware people who would get the greaterbeneficial and indeed synergistic effects.

TheClarity-Sphere.Certain of the practices given below requirea mini-Clarity-Sphere.

TheReturning Life Sequenceor the set of practices that I describe further below as ahealthier replacement for it.

Myset of affirmationsfor self actualization and fundamental healing TheAlexander Technique,which takes you into a much more balanced and poised

physical state, which latter in turn clears various (but not all) energy blocks and

emotional issues and makes other self healing / self actualization methods more

effective for you. The physical improvements include a much more relaxed, stress freeand efficient mode of walking, which greatly enhances Self-Power Walking (see

below).

The practices that I describe on this page each carry out a particular range of functions, so,

generally speaking, none of them is a full alternative to any other, and anyone truly serious

about their self actualization would take on ALL of them and use them in an ongoing fashion

(as near daily as is practical in the light of the need to maintain balance in one's everyday

life). However, I am not playing 'little dictator' here, and would say that any use at all of any

of these practices would bring significant benefit, so nobody need be put off using them

because they feel that the practices would involve too much commitment. You can get some

idea of how I myself fitted in all these practices and a good deal more into my daily life, in

My Own Self Actualization 'Path' - Part 2- but I would stress that that is merely an example

of extremely effective use of the methods, and is not a stipulation about how anyone else

should be going about it.

A note especially for medics and mental healthcare workers

I well understand that to anyone who espouses thematerialist-reductionist belief system-

including most medics and mental healthcare workers - the following practices will all appear

to be nonsensical, because they actually work on the person'snon-physical aspects,which

such professionals generally do not recognise. Those people would do well to read and 'take

on board' the contents ofOn the Nature of Reality and Truth,in which I show how actually

consciousness / awarenessitself is the only 'reality' that we can really 'know', and how we can

never know of any enduring 'external' reality. When you truly understand that, then you also

understand that our hallowed distinction between physical and non-physical is pureillusion

and confusion.

Once you have understood that much, then it should come as much less of a shock to the

system to find that you can do apparently physical practices that work on invisible, non-physical aspects of ourselves, which in turn, as they become healthier, cause us to become

healthier in body as well as 'mind'. That is what all the following practices are about. They are

mostly yogicand what you might call 'semi-yogic' practices, but very different from what

people widely know as 'Yoga', and some of them are very vigorous.

One thing all these practices (apart fromArchetype Zapper* and Tonglen Breathing) have in

common, unlike what people widely know as 'spiritual healing', is that they are stronglygrounding.That is, if they are awarely used they would increase your connection with the

physical 'reality', and help you get clear of unhealthy connections (which ALL of us have to

some extent, includingyou) with theastral sub-realityof illusion and delusion, through which

operates thegarbage(i.e.'dark force'), which appears to be involved in ALL so-called mental

illness and personality disorder issues. Food for thought for hard pressed medical and mental

healthcare workers, who surely want their patients or clients to become more in tune with

physical 'reality', in a positive way, and no longer dependent on medication or other harmful

treatments!

* Actually, in an important senseArchetype Zapperis just as grounding as my other yogic

practices and procedures - BUT it involves briefly countenancingprimary archetypesin afocused way, and it is this latter that is so ungrounding. To countenance such material 'face to

face' without carrying out theArchetype Zapperprocedure on it would be much more

ungrounding and thus particularly troublesome through the resultant garbage attacks.

Breathing techniques to enhance practices

Some practices require or at least are greatly enhanced by what I call power breathing, or, in

some cases what I call extr a-complete breathingor extended complete breathing. These areboth an enhancement of complete breathing, and I now describe them.

Complete breathing

With your spine in good alignment ('straight' but not held rigidly so), you inhale in a steady

manner, through your nostrils and with mouth closed, using your intent to direct the breath

into your lower abdomen so that you use your diaphragm. As your lungs continue to fill, youthen allow the inhalation to expand your chest too. So, each time you inhale, you fill up to

your fullest extent from bottom to top, but without forcing anything.

When you exhale, again you do so through your nostrils and with mouth closed, steadily till

your lungs feel to be completely empty (actually one's lungs never empty completely), but

again without forcing it.

In fact, complete breathing is a quite beneficial practice in itself, especially if the tip of your

tongue is simultaneously held against the top/front of the palate (where there are some marked

indentations). This can be maintained intermittently while getting on with everyday life - but I

caution against trying to use it for very extended periods or indeed allthe time, for if you dothat, what you have effectively done is made the 'practice' an attachment, and thus an

6/69

obstruction to your self actualization process. It is important anyway not to let the conscious

mind interfere with the body's own natural breathing rhythm for more than a fairly small

amount of your time, for doing that in itself would accumulate stress and energy imbalance.

It is very helpful in this sort of breathing if you maintain part of your awareness on the

sensation of the air entering and exiting through your nasal passages and nostrils and indeedyour windpipe, lungs and abdomen (though of course, 'technically', it is not really entering

your abdomen!). This is very helpful through being grounding and helping to minimize

mental 'chatter', without your needing to go into full formal meditation sessions.

Power breathing

Power breathing is 'complete breathing' as I have described it above, with one important andextremely empowering difference: you doforce it! You force the inhalations and the

exhalations - AND you force each a little at the end, so you put a little extra effort in

emptying your lungs just that little bit more, though without making a bigeffort of it. And

similarly, when you have filled up as much as you would with standard complete breathing,

you take in just that little bit more - again not making a bigeffort of it. So, at either end you

get into only the startof what you could call the 'straining range' - if that makes sense for you!

The procedure, then, is vigorous but not overly stressful.

Now, before anyone blows a fuse, muttering things about hyperventilation, and no doubt

wrapping this Philip Goddard guy round the nearest lamp post for giving such harmful

instructions, let me add the very simple measure that you take to ensure that you still get asensible level of 'ventilation' in your system without overdoing it. The solution really is

extremely simple - you PAUSE between each inhalation / exhalation cycle. I myself find it

difficult to pause at the 'full' point, so it comes naturally for me to pause at the 'empty' point.

You find out by your own 'feel' and experience just how long to pause between each breathing

cycle, and, if you are Self-Power Walking and want to use power breathing (it does increase

the power of the practice, but may attract unwanted attention to you in public places) you

would find that the length or indeed presence at all of any pauses in the breathing will depend

on your speed of walking and the nature of the terrain. Indeed, going up really steep terrain

may necessitate cessation of power breathing (or indeed complete breathing) altogether and

breathing more naturally, indeed through your mouth, until you are on more level terrain

again.

In order to ensure that you don not err into hyperventilation (which is harmful and

ungrounding, and is generally indicated by a feeling of light-headedness, faintness or

unsteadiness on your feet), it makes sense that the pause between breathing cycles be held till

you feel that you need to breathe again. On the other hand, if you start feeling suffocated, then

you are overdoing it and need to reduce the pauses a little.

I strongly recommend power breathing to use in certain practices where complete breathing is

appropriate (i.e. not just the practices described by me here on this site), subject to the

indications of one'senergy testing,for it will increase the potency of the particular practice,

whatever it is. However, it is important NOT to use power breathing EXCEPT in specific

7/69

practices of limited duration, for, like the mudras of Self-Power Walking, it takes up quite a

lot of your attention and is in itself somewhat stressful.

Thus power breathing is not a practice in itself, but is a major enhancement of those practices

in which it can fit. It conveys two broad types of enhancement to any practice:

It intensifies the'energy'processes brought about by the particular practice; It is particularlygrounding,provided that one does not use it too much or get

hyperventilated with it, for the deliberate forcing of the breathing also forces the focus

of a good part of your attention onto the breathing. So, naturally, whichever practice of

yours incorporates power breathing, it will be significantly more grounding than

otherwise. Aware increasing of grounding is a crucial part of the trueself actualization

process, and is crucial in clearing yourself of garbage connections and influence,

whose clearance is essential for full self actualization.

Caution!If you are doing a succession ofGrounding Poin tsessions using power

breathing, particularly indoors upon astone sphere,there is quite a strong

ungroundingelement in the proceedings, largely brought about by the progressive

hyperventilation (which is actually ungrounding) that tends to be accumulated,

because for maximum effectiveness it is necessary not to pause between power

breathing cycles during the session. For this reason, Grounding Pointwith power

breathing is best used particularly judiciously, with suitable breaks being taken

between individual sessions.

Extra-complete breathing or extended complete breathing

This is intermediate between standard complete breathing and power breathing. In this case

you do 'force it' a little at the 'full' and 'empty' points, just as in power breathing, but you are

not actually breathing forcefully, so, in all respects apart from the slight over-filling and over-

emptying, it is standard complete breathing.

Cyclic breathing and cyclic blows

Theoretically, the above breathing modes could all be combined with cyclic breathing, but in

practice this is generally best kept distinct. Cyclic breathing has also been called 'weaving

breathing' or 'weaving breaths', and no doubt other terms have also been used for it.

The distinguishing feature of cyclic breathing is that you breathe in through your nostrils and

out through your mouth. In practice it is most effective if you have your mouth notionally

closed during cyclic breathing, so that when you exhale you do so between still partially

closed lips with a slightly forced 'pfffff'. In some practices using this mode of breathing, such

as the yogic version of writhing-stretching, it may be most effective to do your cyclic

breathing fairly forcefully, but it would be differing from power breathing in that you are not

fully filling nor fully emptying your lungs. Indeed, in some procedures - notably with certain

procedures with the Clarity-Sphere - the cyclic breaths are very quick and thus shallow.

Here are a couple of WAV file recordings of cyclic breaths to give you a better idea:

One cyclic breath Three cyclic breaths

I use the term 'cycl ic blows', not to mean hitting anything but to signify cyclic breaths that are

being directed at something. Thus, I would call cyclic breaths that are directed at aClarity-

Sphereor indeed at anything else 'cyclic blows' upon the particular object.

The End of Practice Procedure

Generally speaking, the various practices that I describe are more effective if completed by

use of a very small procedure that could be said figuratively to 'put a seal upon your intent' in

the practice and, I think, generally it somewhat extends the continuation of the healing

process that the practice has initiated, and maybe intensifies it a bit too.

There are two alternative procedures that I use and recommend. The first given here is what

anyone can do.

Using the sharp roof mudra

All this particular End of Practice Procedure consists of is bringing your hands together

briefly into the sharp roof mudra, with the clear intent that this is being used for your End of

Practice Procedure. For this you place your hands almost as though in praying position*, with

fingers of each hand together, straight and pointing upwards, but each hand touching the other

ONLY at the tips of fingers and thumbs, so that actually your hands would be held roof-wise

at an angle of something like 45 degrees to each other, or indeed a little more acute. You hold

this hand position close to and level with your lower to middle chest area for a moment. If you

are in a hurry, you can do just that in, say, a second. However, it is more effective if you holdthat position while you hold the tip of your tongue to your palate and go through a whole

cycle of complete breathing. It is thus still a very brief end-of-practice procedure, even when

done for optimal effectiveness.

* It is important to keep completely clear of any notions of a religious or 'spiritual'

significance in this, and it has nothing to do with praying or with any sort of reverential

gesture; the procedure is simply a particular way of focusing your closing intent for the

practice or method - much as to obtain water you have to turn a tap on (or carry out some

other relevant procedure).

9/69

If you are lying down when you want to use this procedure, the position of your hands in the

sharp roof mudra is just the same in relativeterms. That is, your fingers then point

horizontally towards your head rather than actually upwards.

Use of a 'satellite' mini-Clarity-Sphere

The second method that I suggest is for people who have a'satellite' mini-Clarity-Spherewith

them at the time. All you do for that is hold the mini-sphere to your mid-brow position, on the

bony bit just above the bridge of your nose, and swallow twice while holding it there. For

myself,energy testingindicated that this was preferable to the two-hands method when I had

a mini-Clarity-Sphere available, but other people might get a different result for that. Either

method appears to work well anyway.

The Deepening Awarenessasana - A practice to follow your practices!

This static asana('energy'-active position or body configuration) consists of being seated with

more or less upright back (though for this purpose the back can be supported against the back

of a chair), and with your legs crossed at your ankles, with the soles of both feet as much on

the floor as you can manage without stressing your ankles. (Crossing of the legs above the

knees is alwaysharmful and to be avoided like the plague!)

Meanwhile you have the tip of your tongue to the top/front of your palate, and, although it is

not of overriding importance, you can assist things by using Complete Breathing (nothing

stronger) forpartof the time.

This is basically a relaxed asana, which you can maintain while getting on with things such as

reading, writing or working at the computer. It is best to periodically change the crossing

around so that each leg spends about equal time going in front and going behind.

It is particularly beneficial to use this asana as soon as reasonably possible after you have had

a session of Clarity-Sphere companion practices*. It is not a substitute for the 'end of practice'

procedure, but rather, you get its benefits particularly following such sessions of practices,when you have just had new 'energies' freed up. You do your end of practice procedure after

the other practices, and then, as and when you can fit it in, you use the Deepening Awareness

asana.

* For more about these, please see theClarity-Sphere User Guide.

For myself about an hour per day of this asana is indicated as beneficial. Using it for longer is

not in itself harmful in 'energy' terms, except that it could become just another habit - an

attachment in other words - and thus actually become a small but significant obstacle. The

same of course is true of any practice. It is important to use anypractice only for as long as

your energy testing indicates that it is 'strengthening' for you to be using it, so that you do not

go unawarely sliding into 'attachment mode' and thus getting into habits and losing your self

actualization focus.

Actually there is one slightly harmful thing physically about using this asana a lot more than

'the recommended dose' of a total of no more than an hour in a day, because crossing of the

lower legs is itself physically a little harmful when done more than briefly - even thoughmuch less harmful than crossing the upper legs.

This asana is also used in order to get maximum effect when you are doing a formal reading

of affirmations and declarations of intent, and my understanding is that it can be very helpful

to use also when you are reading something that is quite challenging for you to understand

quickly. It probably would not work like a magic wand to help you understand quickly on the

spot, but rather, your challenging yourself in that way while using the asana would enable it to

be more effective for you in assisting your process of deepening your awareness. I expect that

that is quite an approximate description of how it operates, but really all descriptions of the

modus operandiand effects of 'energy' and 'awareness' practices are rather speculative, so this

is no exception.

Ensuring that your benefits from the practices INCREMENT rather than just go up and down

When people do self healing practices or their daily little bit of Yoga, or receive some healing

or therapy from another person, typically they feel 'recharged', but then to a considerable

extent their overall state declines until they have their next 'recharge'. This happens because

they are still not fundamentally changing the way they live, and are still making many

everyday choices that are weakening for them.

That is NOT how the true self actualization process operates. If you are serious about self

actualization, rather than just 'bumping along the bottom' with occasional 'recharges', then you

are into a different mindset, in which you seek to make every aspect of your life strengthening

for you and supportive to your self actualization process. That is what I call li ving with intent,

and it involves consistently seeking to choose whatever is most strengthening for you (i.e. for

your deepest or ultimate good) and not necessarily what you immediately 'want'. When you

are living with intent, at least to a fair degree, your practices - especially ones free of garbage

connections (i.e. such as the practices given on this page) - are not 'recharges' but incremental

strengthenings or 'upward' steps, so that you are going from strength to greater strength every

day, and are on a strong and consistent upward trend in the happiness and meaningful

abundance of your life, and indeed your overall health.

You can greatly support and underpin your living with intent by a regular formal reading to

yourself of myset of affirmationsfor self actualization and fundamental healing. However, on

the most immediate and practical note, we have an invaluable introductory guide for living

with intent - in the form of my ownenergy testing guide.By introducing you to the

methodology of energy testingand developing the proper grounded energy awareness that

enables you to effortlessly and securely live with intent (joyfully!), the energy testing guide

gives you the means to enable you to start turning your life around right now through making

only strengthening choices (or at least the least weakening choices when all the optionsappear to be adverse), while the affirmations would give you a multitude of ideas as to

choices that you could make to take you forward in your life - and you can check everything

with energy testing before committing yourself by taking up particular options and acting

upon your provisional or prospective choices.

'Cleaning up' after a session

I had not paid any attention to this till well on into 2013, but actually my understanding now

is that to varying extents the different practices / procedures tend to leave subtle 'imprints' of

the material that we are clearing, on the area of floor or ground upon or over which we have

been carrying out the various practices / procedures. This is particularly true of Self-Power

Walking and Grounding Point, but to some extent any other methods we use could also leave

such 'imprints' - including doing formal readings of the Affirmations. In the case of Self-

Power Walking, this is not really an issue if you are simply walking out in the open, but if you

are doing the stationary version in your own living abode, then it definitely would be.

Although for practical purposes I talk of 'imprints' being left on the floor / ground, nobody

could know the exact true nature of those imprints, and it could well be the case that these

subtle effects are not objectively on the particular physical surfaces at all but rather, are within

one's own 'mental image' of those surfaces. Anyway, whatever their exact true nature, they

progressively dissolve over a few weeks, but the catch is that if you are repeatedly carrying

out practices over the same bit of floor / ground, there is a net accumulation until a certain

level of 'unwholesomeness' has built up and the overall dissolution rate matches the renewal

rate. This would generally not be a very major issue, but it would be rather weakening for you

to be on that area of affected surface for any significant amount of time, and so it is

worthwhile using a simple 'cleaning up' operation at the end of any major session (i.e.,

indoors).

We need to remember to disregard all the 'psychic cleaning' methods used and put forward by

psychics and healers, for the garbage has got those individuals habitually using ineffective

and even harmful methods. The method that my own inner inquiry pointed me to was palm-

rolling my desktop Clarity-Sphere to-and-fro over the affected area in a tight zigzag, with the

conscious intent that I was initiating / facilitating the dissolution of any adverse 'energy'

imprints on the floor there. However, if the floor is uncarpeted and really hard (say, some sort

of stone or concrete), then it would be advisable to lay down a carpet rug first on the area to

be 'cleaned', in order that the surface of the sphere does not get abraded to an adverse extent

when it is palm-rolled there.

For this palm-rolling, it is best not to try to maintain full palm contact all the time, otherwise

it all gets a bit awkward and impractical. Think of the effective way as being like one of the

'shoes' on an electric train that gets its power from a 'live' rail, and let the sphere slide against

your palm as you roll it. Accept that it will not be in complete contact all the time, but overall

it would be mostly in contact, and that would be fine. In any case, any slight omissions on one

day would be bound to get cancelled out on another day, where any such small 'dropouts' in

the clean-up would be over different spots.

If you do not have a Clarity-Sphere, you can use a reasonably large unprogrammed polished

sphere of suitable stone for this - i.e., as described inStone Spheres as Healing and Self

Actualization Aids;the clean-up would simply be rather more effective if the sphere had C-S

programming, but the unprogrammed sphere would still be very helpful.

The Returning Life Sequence and a superior alternative

For a long time I had been recommending the physical movements of the first part of the

Returning Life Sequence - the 'Returning Life Weave' - as one of theClarity-Sphere

companion practices.However, I now (as from January 2013) see that as being of relevance

ONLY for people who have already learnt the Returning Life, because...

Important! Please note that I am NOT now recommending to people that they take up the

Returning Life Sequence even though it was one of the main practices that helped start me off

on my really effective self actualization process. This is because I have worked out a

reasonable means to get the benefits that one would gain from it, while avoiding its down-sides. My reasons for distancing myself from the Returning Life Sequence are primarily

threefold:

The Returning Life Sequence comes from theEnergy Eggpeople (about whom I havesome further very pertinent things to say on myClarity-Sphere pageand a few other

places on this site) in the context of a really quite harmful set of 'spirituality' baggage,

and with a relatively limited and narrow intent compared with the breadth of intent

that is really required in the context of a comprehensive genuine self actualization

process.

The first section - the Returning Life Weave, although certainly exhilarating toexecute, is complex and difficult for many people to learn properly, without beingtaught them at a workshop (for which latter they would have to pay a lot of money),

and the static asanas that are supposed to follow that section are unnecessarily stressful

physically, particularly for older people; it is a myth, that you have to undergo

physical hardships and pain in order to have an effective self healing / self

actualization process running.

For the full instructions you have to buy a DVD from the Energy Egg people, beingcareful to filter out all their New Age-type spirituality and illusory reality based

notions, whereas the alternative is free from this site, and simpler, with no stressful

static asanas, and with no spirituality baggage.

Additionally, anyone who wanted to go on a workshop with the Energy Egg people tobe taught the Returning Life would very likely have their workshop place application

refused anyway if it got known that they were associating with me or if they had had

any sort of gross garbage interferences / attacks (which apparently the Energy Egg

people crassly label as 'mental illness' - indeed they have been describing me to clients

/ students of theirs as having paranoid schizophrenia! Would you really want to have

dealings with people who would behave thus towards somebody who they perceive as

some sort of threat to their business or personal status? ).

The Returning Life Sequence was claimed by its 'originators'* to progressively restore much

of one's supposedly 'lost' life-force 'energies', so reversing many of the adverse physical and

mental changes that one experiences through life, and which are pretty generally, but largelywrongly, assumed to be all part of the basic natural ageing process. These various

degradations of one's physical and mental state are largely caused or at least greatly

aggravated by all manner of adverse, 'weakening' influences and events in one's life -

environmental stresses, emotional stresses and traumas, accidents and injuries, adverse

choices that one has made, and indeed anykarmasthat have carried over from past lifetimes,

whether of yours or of any consciousnesses or'entities'attached to you.

* I put 'originators' in quotes because actually all such practices have beenchannelledto and

used by other people before, so people who regard practices that they themselves have

channelled or otherwise come out with as having been 'originated' by them (implicitly, for the

first time in recorded human history), and thus being their supposed 'intellectual property', are

way off-course and seriously out of touch with the real situation.

I myself have apparently 'originated' some practices, but, thankfully, I do understand the real

situation, and recognise that at the present time other people may well have come up with or

obtained effectively the same practices from completely different sources, and also, the same

practices would have been channelled or 'discovered' at various times in the past. Therefore it

is NO big deal, to have apparently originated a supposedly new practice, and it would be anegative and, frankly, disreputable act of mine, if I treated such practices as my intellectual

property and try to discourage or prevent other people from disseminating the particular

practices, so that I could then require payment from everyone who wanted to use the

particular practices.

The Returning Life, then, undoubtedly sounds at face value to be a very good deal indeed, and

even worth paying for - but the truth is still that such benefits are simply an aspect of a

comprehensive genuine self actualization process, which naturally involves the building and

strengthening and un-distorting of all aspects of one's whole being (i.e. as far as is 'physically'

possible). So, if you just focus on the Returning Life Sequence, as given, you would still be

selling yourself short by a lot, despite the clear benefits of using that sequence of practices.

So, in the light of this situation, I have taken time to work out how one could best ensure that

the gains from one's self actualization methodology bring one all the benefits that one could

have got from the Returning Life, without having to use the latter at all.

Indeed, the truth is that almost no addition to my methods (i.e. minus the Returning Life) is

required anyway, so really, the Returning Life is a big deal only for people who are NOT

using my methods, and thus are pointed in some other direction than what I would recognise

as comprehensive genuine self actualization. I thus simply refer you to myClarity-Sphere

companion practices,to which I have now added three easy replacement practices (two ofthem actually for choosing between, so in effect it is two practices) and a small additional

detail.

Expanding Clarity

Recommended as one of theClar i ty-Sphere companion practices.

This is a basic practice that can be used in different contexts, to have effects that are specific

to the intent associated with each particular context - so that it is effectively the root of a

whole group of closely related practices. It originally arose as a less stressful adaptation of a

practice that, as I originally picked it up, had quite bizarrely been called 'Stations of the Way'

- thus lumbering it with a real chunk of religion baggage and thus garbage connecting subtext,

which would then have limited its effectiveness for its specific beneficial applications, as well

as cultivating very unhelpful beliefs andillusory realitiesfor those who are using the practice.

I seemed to be benefiting significantly from that 'Stations of the Way' practice, BUT right atthe outset I had dismissed that (to me) quite repugnant name for it, and all its religious /

esoteric connotations, and used the practice with my own self actualization intent instead. So,

although I was using the same sequence of physical positions, it could be said that even at that

stage I was effectively carrying out a different practice and not the one that had been called

'Stations of the Way'.

However, even with that change of context, the practice was still problematical for me

because it gave me a certain level of physical torture in its static held positions (not helped by

its apparent symbolic representation of being crucified!), and I found that holding my legs

straight and rigidly together with the feet turned well outwards tended to cause me minor

tendon and ligament strains, so it was necessary to see if I could adapt the practice to bephysically less severe and more benign while maintaining or even improving its effectiveness

in 'energy' terms.

Particular quite specific claims were made as to what the 'Stations of the Way' practice was

supposed to achieve, but those claims never made very great sense to me, because there was a

clear implication that the particular practice had something intrinsic about it that would cause

it to carry out the claimed functions for anyone who used it, whereas carrying out that

particular cyclic sequence of yogic asanas could more reasonably be expected not to have any

particular intrinsicfunctionality, but simply to bring about particular beneficial effects when

used in conjunction with particular deeply held intents (and, to a certain extent, particular

beliefs).

So, when I use the name 'Expanding Clarity' for the practice that I have derived from that

other one, I do not mean that the practice would necessarily achieve one fixed particular set of

beneficial effects for anyone regardless of what (if any) deeply held intent they were holding

for the practice while carrying it out. Rather, by giving the practice this particular title, I am

pointing potential users of the practice to the sort of deeply held intent that would make for

the most beneficial use of it - that is, provided that they are actually reasonably awarely in

touch with that intent.

In this way, this practice, with its particular name kept in mind by its user, even without anyspecific context to modify or add to its functionality, is a particularly beneficial general

method for increasing one's self actualization and progressive weakening and clearance of all

obstacles, including garbage interferences.

I have made the practice much more 'friendly' physically by changing the leg positioning and

also dispensing with held static positions for the arms in favour of mostly continuous

movement. For many purposes this could well also be rather more powerful in 'energy' terms

than the held static positions - especially for anyone who finds the latter painful or otherwise

clearly stressful. You get no Brownie points from any worthwhile source for sticking to

practices that feel as though you are undergoing some sort of severe karmic penance!

Guide to the basic practice

You are standing in an upright and relaxed manner, with your feet somewhat apart andturned out at about a right-angle (90) to each other, andyour legs are slightly bent*.

Your arms are initially loosely hanging by your sides, and you are looking more or

less straight ahead (but not rigidly so), and the tip of your tongue is held to your palate

for the whole practice. If your gaze can be at a reasonably distant and especially not

too urban or industrial view out of a window during the session, that would be very

helpful - though it is important not to gaze in an unfocused way that gets you spacing

yourself out and ungrounding your awareness.

* As in some other standing yogic practices, this is quite important, though notbecause it is bad to have straight legs but because, when they are slightly bent,

one direct result is that one's back has a little less, or in some cases quite a bit

less, excess curvature. It is minimizing of excess curvature of the back that

really helps the 'energy' process of the practice. However, if you sought to

directly hold your back in a straight posture you would be hindering the

practice. TheAlexander Techniqueenables you to learn a healthy and

maximally helpful way of minimizing or eliminating excess curvature of the

back, without one's consciously trying to make one's back a specific shape at

all.

Starting a slow and measured extr a-complete breathi ng, you open your hands to formthe splayed hands mudra- i.e. you keep the fingers all well splayed out - and start

very slowly moving your arms from their vertical alignment, out at the sides to

horizontal, and on till eventually your hands are about to meet above your head.

During this process, initially your hands are trying to face upwards but in practice face

forward at first and then obliquely forward and up, but as your arms raise further your

hands do actually face upwards, and, as the arms get higher than horizontal, your

hands increasingly come to face each other above your head.

The speed of ascent of your arms is slow, generally taking two or three extra-complete

breathing cycles to rise from bottom to top - and the breathing itself is fairly slow.

However, there is no specific rule about the speed apart from it being slow rather than

fast, and you may find that you use a rather different speed on different occasions and

especially when you use the practice in different contexts.Energy testingwould

indicate for you what is the best speed to use in a particular session.

As your hands come towards meeting above your head, you draw the fingers of eachhand together, so that your hands meet to form the sharp roof mudra; they are thus

touching only at the fingertips - and, as they meet, you stretch your arms to raise that

sharp roof formation as far as possible above your head. Exactly what happens at this

point depends on where you are in the current extra-complete breathing cycle. If your

opposing fingertips meet just as you come to a (slightly straining) full point in thebreathing cycle, your upward stretch can be minimal and you start bringing your

hands, still in sharp roof mudra formation, smoothly down in front of you (still

pointing upwards until that becomes impossible). On the other hand, if you have just

missed a full-point of your breathing you do the vertical stretch maximally, and hold it

there till the next full-point in the breathing cycle, and then start bringing your hands

(in sharp roof mudra) smoothly down in front of you.

In other words, while your arms are rising there is no specific synchronization with the

breathing cycles, but at the top you always arrange things so that your hands do an

exhalation-synchronized descent from the straining-upward-limit to where the hands

part, nearly at the bottom.

Either way, you bring your hands smoothly down closely in front of you, still holdingthe sharp roof mudra, over the duration of the one exhalation, which is still slow. Near

the bottom of their travel your hands naturally have to part (by which time they are

pointing more or less downwards), and then they are ready to repeat the cycle, with the

fingers splayed out again.

The cycle is generally repeated several times, though even just one complete cyclewould be beneficial.

The final cycle ends differently, as follows. When your hands, in sharp roof mudraformation, have descended to just in front of your lower chest (still pointing upwards),

you hold them there in that mudra, while you empty your lungs and then inhale to

slightly straining-full point, at which you let go of the mudra and rapidly deliver two

loud claps in quick succession.

You then release your position, relax, and carry out your chosen end-of-practiceprocedure.

I myself generally find that about 5 to 7 cycles of this practice are indicated by myenergy

testing.I do not count the cycles, however, but sneak in the odd quick energy test when I am
