Ah, welcome, seekers of truth; let us explore an ancient yet profound technique to guide you back to the source of your being, your true nature. This is not a mere exercise but an awakening to the flow of energy within you—a doorway to your consciousness.
Consider the nature of impulse, a primal urge arising from the depths of your existence.
For instance, when your body is dehydrated, the thirst for water is undeniable, pulling your attention toward drinking. Or imagine the chill of cold; it stirs within you the natural drive to seek warmth—a sweater, a blanket, and the embrace of sunlight. Even the tickle that makes you sneeze is nature’s way of releasing the built-up tension within you.
These impulses are not mere thoughts but genuine signals from the body, rooted in the essence of survival.
The impulse to engage in this meditation must be real. Do not fabricate it, for this practice requires the authentic movement of energy, not the conjuring of imagination.
When the body signals its need—a thirst, a chill, a sneeze—your attention is drawn toward the object that promises satisfaction.
Now, the sacred alchemy begins. The moment you recognize the impulse and feel the energy surging outward toward its target, “pause.” Your attention flow must be interrupted like a river rushing to meet the sea.
If your hand instinctively reaches for the bottle of water or a blanket, halt it mid-motion and freeze the gesture. Still your hand, quiet your thoughts, and suspend the action entirely.
“If your health permits and it’s safe, hold your breath briefly as if the universe has paused to listen.”
What happens now is extraordinary: the energy, previously moving outward to fulfill the need, finds itself “suspended,” unable to complete its journey.
Like water, energy cannot stay still—it craves movement and flow. When its outward current is obstructed, it doesn’t vanish; it simply shifts course. It turns inward, returning to its origin—your very core.
As it flows back within, it carries you into the depths of your being, back to your true nature’s still, silent presence. In this moment of inward flow, a profound truth is revealed: you are not the body, the mind, not the impulses you experience. You are the pure awareness in which these impulses emerge, dance, and dissolve. You are the witness, the pure consciousness, untouched by the body’s needs yet lovingly aware of them.
“Similarly, “the flow of energy” can be disrupted and its course redirected when it begins to rise into anger, “stop its flow.” Gently guide it toward love and compassion, allowing it to transform and bring healing. This intentional redirection turns the energy into a force for restoration rather than turmoil.”
Understand, dear seeker, that energy is in constant motion, forever seeking expression and fulfillment. When its flow is obstructed, both you and it can change its course—directing it toward your desired path or allowing it to return to its origin.
This technique of redirecting your energy serves as a meditation and a revelation. By halting the outward flow of energy, you create the space needed to be drawn inward, allowing you to rest in the stillness of your true essence.
In this stillness, you will come to know the eternal awareness that you are beyond all impulses, beyond all objects, and beyond all movement.
Sit with this technique, explore it deeply, and let it reveal the boundless truth of your being.
