Energy Body Stimulation: Five Awareness Actions
Energy Body Stimulation: Five Awareness Actions
    Five tactile imaging actions are used to manipulate the energy body, using the same basic
techniques throughout. Scratch or rub each energy center or energetic pathway as needed, to help
target it and make it easier to follow with awareness alone. As well as feeling these actions on the
surface, feel them happening beneath the skin and slightly inside the body. With all the above
awareness actions, it is the action of feeling a point of body awareness moving on or through the
physical body that stimulates the substance of the energy body. The size of the awareness actions
given below are to be varied to suit the body part or energy center being worked on.
                                                55
    Stirring Action: Move your point of awareness in a
clockwise circle through the surface of your skin. This is as if
you were stirring the target area with a single finger of one
of your awareness hands. This action can be
counterclockwise if preferred.
Instructional Notes
    The NEW system does not require a deep level of relaxation, nor even a great deal of
preparation. Once these techniques are learned, it is possible to raise energy at any time, even while
traveling, walking, talking, working, or watching TV, etc. For the following training exercises, use
light relaxation only, except where you encounter problems learning these techniques and getting
energy moving during early exercises. While deep physical relaxation is not necessary for the NEW
system, if you encounter difficulties, some preliminary deep physical relaxation and trance work
will usually help.
                                                       56
    I recommend sitting in a comfortable chair, with your legs reasonably straight and slightly out in
front, preferably with bare feet or loose socks. Do not wear tight clothes, especially on legs, as
anything tight or uncomfortable will interfere with awareness targeting and energy raising. Place a
pillow or cushion under feet. Do not sit cross-legged during training sessions, as this makes
awareness targeting and learning how to raise energy more difficult. Close your eyes and take a few
deep breaths, generally settle yourself, and begin.
    When unresponsive secondary centers or groups of exchange ports are found, do not stop your
progress to concentrate on blocked areas. Work on them for the suggested length of time, then move
on to the next exercise. Working around blockages in this way helps clear them.
    I suggest that eyes be kept closed and not be allowed to look at the target area. I have found that
looking toward the target area, even from behind closed eyes, tends to dilute the effectiveness of
awareness actions. Still, some of my volunteers reported having difficulty learning to focus
awareness without using their eyes to aid targeting. It is permissible to use your eyes to aid
awareness targeting, by looking at the area being working on, but I suggest that the use of the eyes
for targeting be slowly discontinued as soon as is practical. Many of the coming exercises do not
allow the eyes to be used at all, as with trance and projection techniques, etc.
   These exercises are designed to isolate and stimulate individual secondary centers and small
clusters of exchange ports. Picking through them like this allows blocked areas to be identified so
they can be cleared and strengthened. Each successfully cleared area significantly increases the flow
of energies into the energy body. Individual fingers and toes do not have to be worked on every
time, only in the early stages and to remove blockages.
   Connecting pathways in the energy body can become blocked and narrowed to the point where
they become virtually disconnected, just as the physical body can malfunction in similar ways.
Energy pathways can be healed and redefined by repeatedly drawing energy through and around
them. The energy body, like the physical body, learns very quickly and develops a kind of energetic
memory of often-repeated awareness actions.
Toe Work
   Toes are important parts of the larger and more powerful energy structures within the feet. Each
toe joint contains a secondary energy center, with four poles flowering on the skin's surface. These
are connected to the heavy concentration of energy exchange ports on the undersides of the feet and
toes. As energy-raising structures, the feet are bases for the largest and strongest conduits into the
energy body. They are therefore important structures to stimulate and develop.
   One foot — usually the left — will normally activate much easier than the other. It may take
many development sessions before the less-active side begins to respond. If, in the first exercise
below, no sensation is felt in either big toe, this means that both of these areas are currently dormant
or blocked. It does not mean the NEW system will not work for you. It will. These sluggish areas
will progressively clear as more of the energy structures within the feet clear.
    Awareness-target the top of your left big toe. There is a fairly large secondary
center in each of its joints. Give this toe a light scratch or rub along its length with
your fingernail to highlight it, until it tingles slightly on top. Use the brushing
awareness action and brush along its whole length, from its tip to a couple of
inches past where it joins the foot. Concentrate on feeling this action inside the
skin. Vary this action occasionally and brush each side of it as well, inner and
outer. Keep brushing until you feel a slight buzzing or localized heaviness or
pressure in that toe. Continue brushing for several minutes, or until some
noticeable sensations are felt, then move on to the next exercise.
    Repeat the above exercise on right big toe.
    Use the sponging action through the whole of both big toes, one at a time.
    The stirring action can also be used on top of each joint, if they are difficult to
activate. Try splitting awareness and brushing or sponging both big toes
simultaneously.
                                                                                         Fig. 13. Main secondary
    Use the brushing and sponging actions on all lesser toes, starting with the toe
                                                                                              centers in toes
                                                      57
next to the big toe on the most responsive foot. Spend slightly more time on the less responsive foot, and
on any unresponsive toes to help free them up.
    Using a slightly wider brushing action (width from tips of toes to just past where they join foot) and
starting with your best foot again, brush across the entire tops of all toes at the same time, from side to
side, from big toe to small toe, back and forth.
    Repeat this action on your other foot.
    Try splitting awareness and repeating the above on both feet simultaneously, in whatever direction is felt
as being easiest and most effective.
Sole Work
    The energy exchange ports on the undersides of the feet and toes form the outer layer of the complex
energy exchange structures within the feet. The soles are therefore extremely important to energy flow into
the body, and the following exercises should be thoroughly worked through for best results.
    Awareness-target the middle of the sole of your left
foot. Scratch or rub this area if you need help targeting it.
Using a small clockwise stirring action, approximately one
and one-half inches in diameter (3.5 cm), circle your point
of awareness there continually. Move this stirring action
slowly over the underside of your foot and its toes. Keep
this stirring action moving at all times, covering that entire
area thoroughly. Continue this mobile stirring action until
you have covered the entire underside of your foot
several times, including the undersides of all toes and the
heel. This awareness action is a little like you are using a
small rotating electric massager. Spend at least five
minutes on each sole with this rotary action (early
exercises only) or until the surface of each sole begins to Fig. 14. Rotary stirring Fig. 15. Brushing action
respond well.                                                  action on sole of foot      on sole of foot
    Using a wide brushing action, as if painting the soles
with a large paintbrush, brush awareness back and forth, from heels to toes, covering the entire underside
of each foot deeply with the brushing action, one foot at a time.
    Try splitting awareness and repeating the brushing action on both feet at the same time.
    Using a deep sponging action, draw awareness from tips of toes to heel, back and forth through the
whole of each foot, one foot at a time. Feel this action as filling the inside of the whole of each foot as you
do this.
    Try splitting awareness and sponging through the whole of both feet at the same time.
Leg Work
    Each leg sweep should take approximately three seconds for each pass, up or down. This exercise is
designed to stimulate the energy pathway, not to raise energy up through the leg, which is why awareness
is brushed in both directions. Repeat this process for each of the following leg exercises.
    Use a wide brushing action on the front of each leg, one at a time. Scratch, rub, or stroke the whole leg
pathway, if required to help target and trace the pathway being worked on. Move awareness from tips of
toes, over top of foot and ankle, up shin to knee and on up to top of the hip joint on the front of each leg,
one leg at a time. Stroke awareness steadily back and forth a dozen times or more each way.
    Repeat this on the back of each leg, one at a time, from heel to rear of hip joint (top of buttock), then
back down again.
    Repeat this on outer sides of each leg, one at a time. Pay attention to taking energy from the smallest
toe with this exercise, through outer side of foot to heel, to side of ankle, up to side of knee, to top of outer
hip joint, then back down again.
    Repeat this on inner legs, one at a time: from big toe through the inner side of foot to the inner side of
ankle, to inner knee, to inner groin creases at top of each leg, then back down again.
    Raise energy with large sponging action through the whole of each leg, feeling all of the leg. Draw
awareness from toes, through ankle, and on up through knee joint to hip, then back down through the
whole leg again.
    Try splitting awareness and doing this last exercise on both legs at once.
Finger Work
    The process for hand and finger stimulation is similar to that used with the
feet, with minor differences. Some find it easier to do early finger and hand
exercises if they look at each finger as they work on it. This is permissible, but
please discontinue using your eyes for this purpose once the techniques are
learned.
    First, spread fingers slightly and use a narrow brushing action to stimulate the
entire length of each finger on top. Work on one finger at a time and brush from
fingertips to wrists for thirty seconds each, or until they begin to respond, and
longer if you so choose. Turn hand over and repeat this with each finger on its
underside.
    Use a wide brushing action, as if you were using a large paintbrush, and Fig. 16. Main secondary
stimulate the backs of each hand, covering all fingers from tips to a few inches            centers in hand
above wrists, one hand at a time, for thirty seconds or more, even if they responded well earlier.
    Use a wide brushing action across all fingers, from side to side, covering all fingers.
    Try splitting awareness and repeating the above on both hands at the same time.
                                                       59
                                Fig. 17. Wide brushing and stirring actions
Palm Work
    Palm work can cause intense energy-movement sensations in the palms and fingers. These sensations
usually reduce more rapidly than those in the feet.
    Repeat the same process you used with the sole of each foot, on the palm of each hand, one at a time.
First use a tight, mobile stirring action, moving this action about until you have covered the whole of the
palm of each hand, including the undersides of all fingers.
    Use a wide brushing action, back and forth, from a few inches above the heel of hand to finger tips,
covering the entire surface of palms and undersides of all fingers.
    Use a large sponging action through the whole of each hand, from fingertips to above wrists.
    Try splitting awareness and stimulating both palms, from above wrists to fingertips.
Arm Work
    Move awareness back and forth from fingertips to shoulder, a dozen times in both directions for each of
the following exercises. Take approximately three seconds over each upward arm sweep, and the same for
each downward sweep.
    Along outer left arm, use a wide brushing action from fingertips, along back of hand to wrist, over
forearm to elbow, over outer biceps to outer shoulder joint, back and forth.
    Repeat above on inner left arm from fingertips, palms, inner wrist, inner elbow, to armpit.
    Repeat on whole of left arm, using sponging action, feeling all of arm, inside and out.
    Repeat all above exercises with right arm.
    Try splitting awareness and repeating with whole of both arms at the same time.

    Energy bounce is a simple and effective awareness technique that helps to clear, redefine, and
strengthen all energy pathways.
                                                    60
This feels like you are dragging your point of awareness through an almost-liquid substance, which allows
you to feel the substance of your own energy body. The bounce action creates a kind of ripple inside the
energy body, causing energetic disruption, which forces energy to flow. This helps clear blockages and
develops internal conduits.
    As an example (using a rapid sponging action) bounce your awareness up and down through the whole
of one leg, from foot to hip, feeling it moving in both directions, as with the earlier whole-leg sponging
exercise. Bounce from foot to hip and back, rapidly and repeatedly. Your body awareness is capable of
lightning movements, and of flicking from one body part to another instantly, but not so when moving
through the energy body in this way. Slowly increase the speed of the bounce action and you will soon feel
resistance. You will find there is a natural speed limit of about half a second each way. If you move faster
than this, your awareness will tend to lose contact with your energy body and start flicking from foot to hip
and back, while skipping the leg in between. Once this happens, you are no longer moving awareness
through the energy body and are therefore no longer stimulating it.
Bounce Testing
    Whatever part of your body you wish to bounce awareness through, first experiment with the speed,
increasing the bounce frequency until resistance is encountered. Once this is felt, slow the speed a little until
you are quickly and comfortably bouncing awareness through your body, while retaining the feel of contact
with it. This will be the correct speed for the bounce action in that area. Do not count or time this with a
watch, just feel the most comfortable speed for you in that area.
Leg Bounce
    As above, take awareness through one or both legs, from feet to hips. First
test for resistance and find the correct frequency, then bounce repeatedly from
feet to hips. You will quickly develop a natural rhythm and will feel the slight
dragging effect it has in your energy body. Energy-movement sensations in the
bounce area are usually quite mild. Continue bouncing for at least a minute, or
for as long as you wish. It's quite a pleasant sensation when you get used to it
and the bounce action quickly becomes almost automatic. Try splitting
awareness and bouncing through- both legs at the same time. Holding your legs
together makes this last easier.
                                                                                    Fig. 18. Leg bounce action
Arm Bounce
   As above, bounce awareness through both arms, one at a time, from fingertips to shoulders and back
again repeatedly. First test for resistance and adjust bounce speed to suit. Try splitting awareness and
bouncing through both arms at the same time.
Spinal Bounce
    This is a wonderful technique if you suffer back tension or spinal pain. I have a few spinal injuries myself
and find this very soothing and healing. Once you master the spinal bounce, you can set it in motion and
use your mind for other things. Only a small part of your mind is required to keep the bounce action going in
the background. This promotes deep physical relaxation, helps ease knots of tension in the spine, as well as
gently stimulating the spinal roots of most primary centers.
    Awareness-target the coccyx (tailbone) at the base of the spine. Move awareness along the full length of
your spine to the top of your head. Bounce awareness back and forth, from top to bottom, feeling it all the
way. Increase speed and adjust frequency, then slow to a more comfortable rhythm — about half a second
or so in each direction. Take care to breathe naturally while doing this. The spinal bounce action tends to
interfere with the natural breathing pattern. This can cause shallow breathing and intermittent breath
holding.
Full-Body Bounce
     The full-body bounce takes awareness up and down through the entire body. This can be done from any
position, but is best learned while lying down with arms raised above the head. Take awareness from both
feet, up through legs, torso, head, and arms, all the way to just above fingertips. Bounce awareness back
and forth, from feet to fingertips. The bounce rhythm should be fairly quick, about one or two seconds each
way, but whatever feels most natural is best. Try to feel the whole of your body, inside and out, with each
full-body bounce.
     A variation of the above is with arms resting at your sides, where awareness is bounced from your feet
to just above the top of your head. This is far more practical when sitting or standing.
     Keep in mind, after working so laboriously and painstakingly through your newly discovered energy body,
that this is only the early training part. The NEW system is very progressive and, once you learn it, large
                                                       61
parts of your energy body will quickly begin responding to single awareness actions. The smaller parts of the
stimulation exercises given so far quickly combine into larger and simpler whole-of-limb stimulation and
energy-raising actions. Everything starts getting easier, faster, and more effective once this happens.
    There are two ways to raise energy into your body: with awareness
alone or with awareness aided by breathing. The basic techniques for
raising energy with awareness alone are generally used as part of a full-
body circuit, or for raising energy to primary centers. They are also very
useful when it is impractical to do anything more elaborate. For example,
try this if you are tired and just want to raise some quick energy before
falling asleep.
    Prestimulate feet, using the techniques learned in the previous chapter.
First brush across all toes with a single action, then use the whole-foot Fig. 19. Leg energy raising
sponging action, one at a time or both together. Continue with this until       to sub-navel center
you feel some activity.
    Split awareness (optional) by reaching down and grabbing the energy in both feet with your
awareness hands and pulling it upward with a deep sponging action. Sponge it up through the whole
of both legs to hips, as if sponging water up through them. This action forces energy to flow into
feet and up through legs.
    Take energy up through your thighs and over the front of your hips, skipping the groin area,
letting it flow directly into your sub-navel storage center from each side. The sub-navel is midway
between your bellybutton and pubic line and about two inches inside your body. This action does
not have to be precise; the general feeling of raising and pushing energy into this area is all that is
required.
    Develop a rhythmic drawing action, sweeping and sponging energy upward through your legs
and into the storage center. Take two to three seconds over each upward sweep, or whatever feels
most natural. At the end of each upward sweep, flick awareness back to your feet, ready to start
over. If awareness does not split easily, use one leg at a time, alternating between them with each
upward stroke.
                                                     62
   When you get a good flow of energy moving into your sub-navel, you may feel a fluttering,
bubbling sensation similar to stomach wind. This is a very good sign, indicating energy is
successfully being raised, converted, and stored. The exact site of this sensation varies slightly from
person to person, but is usually within an inch or two of the center.
    Energy can be raised through arms as well as legs. The arms are normally only used as part of a
full-body circuit or for stimulating primary centers, but can also be used on their own.
    If you are sitting in a chair, either hang your hands by your sides or rest them palm upward in
your lap. If you are lying down, hold your hands above the bed with elbows resting on the surface
of the bed. Alternatively, spread your arms wide and rest them on the bed. Any position will do for
this purpose and comfort is important. If you cannot split awareness easily, alternate arms and raise
energy through them one at a time.
    Prestimulate both hands, then center awareness firmly in hands.
    Split awareness (optional) and draw energy through both hands, through the whole of both arms
to the shoulders, and on up through to the back of the neck. This is where it will join with the
energy stream being raised through the spine, as part of a full-body energy-raising circuit (see
below).
    If this technique is being used on its own, take energy through the shoulders, down over the
chest and stomach and directly into the sub-navel storage center.
    Use two- to three-second energy sweeps, flicking awareness back to hands at the end of each
arm sweep, ready to start on the next.
    This technique can be combined with breathing, by raising energy through the arms during the
IN breath, and flicking awareness back to hands during the OUT breath, ready for the next IN
breath.
Full-Body Circuits
   Breathing creates a natural motion within body awareness, that of something flowing in and out
of the body. This has a natural upward and downward, inward and outward motion to it. This
motion is very useful when combined with awareness energy-raising techniques. Breathing also
provides energy-raising actions with a natural rhythm.
    As I have mentioned, a deeply relaxed physical state usually is not required for learning the
NEW system. Effort can thus be put into the energy-raising actions without breaking any delicate
mental state. The amount of energy that can be raised is greatly affected by the application of will.
This is particularly useful when there are low background energy conditions, or for times when a
greater energy flow is needed, e.g., for clearing stubborn, unresponsive, and blocked areas with
brute awareness force.
    Apart from clearing blockages, for normal development I strongly recommend that only a
normal level of effort be used. This is not only easier but is far more natural. It will encourage more
even and robust development of the energy body as a whole. Too great an effort can cause too rapid
expansion and growth in certain areas, which can make developing energetic structures far too
delicate to be of much practical use. Forced development through excessive effort grows large but
weak, temporary, and unstable energetic pathways. These will retract back to their original
narrowed state very quickly, maybe even smaller than before, if not nurtured gently during
development.
    Using too strong energy-raising efforts to unblock damaged or depleted structures within the
energy body can cause continuing energy demands and high energy usage far in excess of the
amount of energy raised. This can result in temporary physical exhaustion. Often, more energy is
used to repair blockages than is actually being raised and stored, thus causing a temporary energy
deficit. This can also cause noticeable energy-movement sensations that continue for some time
after energy-raising actions have been discontinued. This is quite normal and often unavoidable.
Energy-Movement Sensations
   I would like to make one thing very clear. Strong energy-movement sensations are primarily
caused by resistance within the energy body — natural resistance to an increased flow of energy
                                              65
through blocked or narrowed energy centers and circuitry. Many people, during the early stages of
development, will feel some very strong energy-movement sensations indeed. These sensations
fluctuate, gradually reducing in severity as the energy body develops to handle increased energy
flow.
    The energy, when it responds in the early stages, will most commonly cause a surging, bubbling,
rushing-water sensation. This is especially strong and noticeable in the shins and thighs. These can
be quite intense and even breathtaking at times. You may also feel strong, bone-deep tingling
sensations that appear to come from deep inside the marrow of your bones. Many of my volunteers
have reported they have fallen off their chairs and been unable to stand for a while, because surging
energy-movement sensations in their legs have been so strong.
    Several peculiar energy-movement sensations, often very strong, can be caused by the NEW
system. It is fairly normal, while stimulating the feet, legs, hands, and arms, to feel extremely strong
buzzing and tingling sensations within them. These sensations will fade slowly with regular use and
development, reducing to a warm and comfortable, gently tingling, energy flow. Levels of sensation
can also be affected by other factors, such as the condition of the physical body and the strength and
availability of free energy, which fluctuates daily and varies from one place to another.
Common Sensations
   •   Tingling, tickling, buzzing, and vibrating in the soles of feet and toes
   •   Rushing-water sensation up legs and arms
   •   Bone-deep tingling inside hands, feet, legs, and arms
   •   Tingling energetic body-rush feelings up arms, legs, and spine
   •   Muscular spasming and twitching
   •   Cobweblike tickling, like ants crawling all over you
   •   Localized stinging and prickling sensations
   •   Aching, cold or hot spots, especially in soles and palms
   •   Muscular cramps
    Keep in mind that heavy energy-movement sensations always reduce as the energy body
develops. Masters of energy raising, with highly developed energy bodies, feel only a gentle,
tingling warmth as massive amounts of energy are drawn into their bodies. Look upon the lessening
of energy-movement sensations as signs of real progress in energy-body development.
Side Effects
    The NEW system, especially in the early stages, will occasionally cause temporary swellings,
lumps, rashes, and even small watery blisters. In my opinion, this is caused by narrowed energy
pathways having far greater than normal amounts of energy forced though them. This seems to
overload some of the nerves and nerve endings in the physical body, temporarily affecting
surrounding soft tissue and skin and causing these side effects.
    If you get any of these symptoms, treat them as you would any normal swelling, rash, or blister.
Consult your medical doctor if they worry you. Energy rashes and blisters usually sting and itch
quite noticeably when energy is drawn through them. These will heal very quickly if you continue
regular development exercises, usually within a day or two, and will often disappear completely
overnight.
    If your energy body does not respond at all, even after weeks of regular effort, I advise you to
have a mil medical checkup by a qualified medical doctor. Energy blockages of this magnitude are
not a good health indicator. This can indicate early disease conditions that have not yet become
symptomatic. As early diagnosis of most medical conditions is paramount to their successful
treatment, this can be an extremely valuable side benefit of energy work.
Awareness Momentum
   After repeating any energy-raising action several times, you will find it develops a tendency to
continue on its own accord. Awareness actions thus often continue after you have stopped
                                                  66
consciously doing them. I call this effect awareness momentum. It seems to be caused by a kind of
energy-body memory taking over, which shows just how easily these techniques can be learned.
Etheric Wrap
    Etheric wrap is a versatile and useful technique for clearing blockages and restoring damaged
parts of the energy body. Areas that are unresponsive, tingle noticeably, feel heavy, or sting, or
buzz, or bum, or act in any way different from the rest of your body, usually indicate some kind of
blockage, depletion, or damage. These areas need more attention to repair and restore them. When
you draw or bounce awareness through your body, you may also come upon areas that feel heavier
or lighter or fuzzier or thicker, or that provide more or less resistance to awareness actions. These
sensations indicate those areas need extra work to clear them.
    Use a wide-wrapping action over the damaged area. Imagine you have an endless white bandage
of pure energy flowing from your awareness hands. Feel this bandage of energy flowing directly
into the damaged area as you wrap it. Feel the substance of your energy flowing with this bandage.
This action is to be varied to suit the size and position of the area being worked on.
    Etheric wrap is useful for getting inactive areas working. For example, if you want to etheric
wrap a leg: Awareness-target your foot and begin wrapping from the toes up, as if you were
carefully wrapping an overlapping energy bandage around it. Feel your energy flowing into that
area, into the foot, through your awareness hands. Continue wrapping up over the foot, over the
ankle, and on up the leg, all the way to the hip. Take your time over this and be careful to overlap
the wrapping action all the way. Repeat this as many times as required, as this exercise cannot be
overdone.
    Note that some energy blockages will not show up for some time. Many will only become
apparent after energetic development work has become a regular practice, as the energy body
becomes more energy sensitive and energy demands increase.
    There is no limit as to how much energy raising can or should be done, as long as this is taken
only into the sub-navel storage center. The more often energy is raised, the more energy will be
stored and the more energy will be available for physical, bioenergetic, and pure-energetic
purposes. It is far more beneficial for long-term energetic development to raise energy gently and
slowly and for longer periods of time, than it is to raise large amounts of energy in short bursts only.
Rushing development creates fragile energetic structures that have little practical use, as they tend
to break down when put under pressure.
