spiritual techniques
biomagnetic energy
There is a wonderful chapter towards the end of Ian Wilson's "Course on Consciousness" in the second week of the second month of the course, which describes this phenomenon so perfectly that it shall be directly transcribed below. The following words are from Ian Wilson's free course:
"One of the ways I view
the physical body is that it is a biological machine, which uses
electricity for the majority of motor functions within the body. It is a
simple look at physics to realize that our body produces and holds
electrical fields. Walking on carpet generating static electricity just
adds to the evidence that our body acts like a mild electromagnetic
coil.
This biomagnetic field has long been observed as either a myth, or just a
natural product of a biological machine. The Aura is a common new-age
term to address this natural field around the body. Some Chinese martial
arts incorporate Qi Quong, which uses breathing and exercise to
generate and move this field around the body. What ever you want to view
it as, it exists. I have one, you have one, and we all possess a
natural field of energy, which collects around the body.
Pranic Healing is another belief that incorporates removing unhealthy
energy causing illness and replacing it with vital life giving energy.
Much can be said about this field and what its uses are. I have many
ideas and theories about this energy field. I have observed that we can
sense it, see it quite visibly and even send a field of energy directed
by thought towards another person. I have still to fully investigate
this area and it’s potential. I hope that time and practice will allow
me to explore it more efficiently.
Visit the "Vibrations of the Ether" section on this website for more information on Pranic energy. - J
HOW DO I DETECT IT?
This is easy to do. I find that the main reason that people cannot
see it clearly is that they are trying to observe it in unnatural light
and with too much luminosity. The best way to observe this field is by
using a pitch-black background, and low-level luminosity. Try using just
near dark light, so that there is very little of a light source, soft
moonlight is good for this if it is shining through a curtain. Even too
much moonlight can be too much light. If it is too dark, this can also be a factor in not seeing it.
Now place
your hand in front of the black backdrop approximately one foot away
from your face. Move the hand at the wrist in a slow upward and downward
motion. Observe the fingertips, and observe one inch past the
fingertip. If you can see the small, grey beam then you are seeing it.
Take
both hands now, and just use both index fingers, closing the rest of the
hand in a fist and move them about two inches away from each other.
Move one hand slowly up and down. The small grey beam of energy is
magnetic in nature and tends to arc between the fingertips. Watch as it
moves and follows the fingers. Then extend the middle finger of one hand
to form a triangle. Experiment with all the fingers; get used to seeing
this field from the fingertips. Then move to observing it around the
hand.
To feel the energy, move one hand slowly 2 inches away from the opposing
hand. If you feel a small tingle, vibration or heat that describes much
of what it feels like. Try this on plants as well, a variety of pine
needles, furs and broad leaf plants do emit a soft field that if you are
sensitive enough, you’ll notice.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT?
Things that I have experimented with are inducing a variety of
effects on people using different frequencies of this energy by
envisioning heat, cold, blue electricity, color etc.
This field seems to
respond to our thoughts and can be directed from the center of the
body, through the arm down to the fingertips and to the recipients hand.
TECHNIQUES FOR BUILDING UP THIS FIELD
Breathing with visualization helps. Lucid Precognitive Dreaming makes
a significant difference. Building up a large ball of energy using
breathing and visualization surrounding the whole body is another way to
generate more of this energy. I have not really explored this much as
much as I would like, but I have had enough success to say it is worth
investigating as it does show some potential."

One of the ways that this energy can feel is much like when you hold two opposing magnets close to one another and feel the energy field between them. If you hold both of your hands out in front of you facing each other, and hold them just close enough to where you can begin to feel the energy and heat radiating from each hand. You can then bounce your hands back and forth with very slow movements just feeling the energy but without your hands ever actually physically touching. While you do this, envision an energy ball starting to form between your hands.
At this point you may start to feel a strong tingling feeling in your palms, and you will feel sparks of electricity forming. Continue working on bringing the energy through and very slowly in time with the development of the energy ball, begin to bring your hands further apart, as the diameter of the energy ball grows. This will be a very natural sensation once you are familiar with the energy, as you will clearly feel an energetic resistance, indicating the size of the energy ball.
Moving your hands intuitively around this energy ball, continue to develop the energy both with your mind and intention. Eventually you may also begin to physically see the energy forming around your fingertips as a blue glow. You can also put one hand above and the other below, and experiment with whatever seems to increase the flow of energy.
You can pour your intentions into this energy ball and send them as different colors, frequencies, and magical effects to others, or also to yourself for the purpose of healing. You can direct this energy to specific locations on your body or to others out in the world from afar.
Continue to experiment/practice with this energy until you have mastered more of what it can do.
Another great resource on this phenomenon is found on an old and beautiful website about the Feri Tradition, which is no longer available online but which was once known as "Lilith's Lantern". The website however can still be accessed via the internet archive right here.
This page explains how to work with the fundamental energy of life which is present in all things (that we have just been referring to), and explains how to use the breath to raise this same energy.
This page then explains how to charge a glass of water with that energy, to then drink from and heal yourself and fill your body with this same charged energy.
And finally this page offers a technique through which to release the stored energy to your higher "Godself" which returns blessed energy back to you, and which can be a very enlightening practice.
