enlightenment series 4: 4 practices

These influence the 3 structures of the body.
The practices applied in the correct sequence,
can move a human into a state of equilibrium.

Fasting
soul & body
-stop, accumulation of energy

Sleep deprivation
spirit
-stop, accumulation of thoughts

Physical fatigue (i.e. dancing, exercise)
body
-expend, energy from the body

Repetition (i.e breath, prayer, meditation, mantra)
spirit
-expend, thoughts from the mind

From this state of equilibrium,
a brief connection to an energy source can be made,
to form a contained spherical region of energy,
near the base of the spine.

The goal / attempt:
Move the energy, in incremental steps,
up the spine into the brain.

It is best to spend time with each of,
the 4 practices individually.
To become familiar and comfortable with them.
