The Wood Element Purification by Kevin Wikse.

 

The Wood element is 1/5th of the Daoist system of the Pancha Tattwa Shuddi or 5 elemental purifications. 

Wood is the expression of growth and expansion. The ability to progress and move through obstacles, be they material, societal, or born of the mind. The wood element is anything that grows, so all living and organic matter can rightly be assumed to fall under its purvey. 

Your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues are wood. Your nails and hair express the most obvious and most easily observed continual growth, or wood energy, in your body. However, wood energy is anchored deepest in your liver. It is the only organ that can regrow or regenerate and is linked to the eyes/vision and blood flow. 

However, growth and progress cannot be measured simply by material means. Thoughts, desires, and ambitions can also expand. Few things can stand against a sustained thought's collectivizing, accumulating, and gathering force. Persistence wears down resistance; this is the basis of wood energy. It is valid and can be applied to all levels of consciousness. 

Those with sufficient wood energy are like the blade of grass, which eventually splits and breaks through concrete for its time in the sun. Individuals lacking wood energy stay trapped beneath the hard sediment, never seeing the light of day. 

The Wood element is at its peak during the Spring when nature is roaring back to life, waking up after going into a dormancy phase for winter. There is a seasonal practice that incorporates this energy. But, the following Wood energy activation exercise, or Qigong, can and should be done daily. This Qigong, the will force and power to succeed it gathers and distributes, will be of immense value to the aspiring astralnaut or vimana pilot.

The Pine Tree

Stand comfortably with your feet shoulder-width apart (more or less), your spine relaxed but erect, your shoulders allowed to soften, and your arms dangling at your sides. Your mouth is closed, your teeth together, and your tongue softly pressed against the roof of the mouth. Ever so slightly let yourself, simply by thinking about it, let your weight come forward to rest on the balls of your feet, but with your heels still touching the ground. 

Now feel your Baihui point, the highest peak on the top of your skull. This is the most "yang" place of your body. Next, with your awareness, search out and feel your perineum. This is your Huiyin point or place of most "yin."  

On an inhale, feel like you are being lifted or pulled upwards at your Baihui point by an exceptionally thin and fine thread. This lifting force is almost imperceivable, no more than and just barely stronger than the power of your hair growing, but it is there. On the exhale, feel your body sink down in equally and almost imperceivable measure from your Huiyin point (your BaiHui remains fixed like you are dangling from that point from the string). This inhale and exhale is one repetition. Perform 21 repetitions. You are not to strain or force in any way. 

Your breathing should be so soft, relaxed, and natural that you can't hear your respirations. 

This will activate the wood element our your physical and psychic bodies. Like a Pine tree, you will grow tall, straight, flexible, and stronger over the weeks, months, and years as you allow this exercise to incrementally lengthen, re-align, and open your vertebra. Ultimately this is a "long game" Qigong but with tremendously positive benefits showing up after only a couple of weeks. 

Report back often for your next assignment.

Pancha Tattwa Shuddi: Agni-Fire by Kevin Wikse.

The summer solstice nears, and for the astralnaut, or vimana pilot, their thoughts, now in a purified air space, will naturally incline themselves toward Lord Agni, the element of fire, and the red triangle Tattwa, for which RAM is the sacred vibration hidden inside. Within the Pancha Tattwa, Agni, or fire, is the chief cleansing agent of the five great elemental alchemical components. 

Without robust and clean fire energy, the pollution and contamination of the entire Pancha Tattwa are guaranteed. Agni is responsible for how clean burning your internal combustion is. Your inner fire "digestion" devours as much of the organic fuel you put inside your body, rendering it into concentrated bodily waste to be expelled or exhausted through various states of matter or mixtures of states of matter, solid (excrement), liquid (sweat, urine, and discharge) and gas (exhales, and flatulence), purifying the blood and allowing better thinking and cognitive abilities. The more powerful your personal Agni, the more efficient this natural purification process will be. Thereby cleansing the other four material Tattwas or elemental building structures. 

Agni exists with the three worlds (material, subtle and casual) and the nearly innumerable variations of loci or locations which reside with those three words. How Angi performs his duties in the material body (in the example stated above), Agni performs similar duties within your other two bodies (subtle and casual). Within the subtle body, your personal Agni is an internal astral bodyguard. Angi is called "He with a thousand eyes and a thousand spears." Agni is your warrior spirit and your will to fight and overcome. Agni is an offensive and defensive component of your aura, seeing (a thousand eyes) in all directions and aggressively holding the line (a thousand spears) against anyone or anything that comes against you. 

The majority have weak, sluggish Agni. Smothered under a mountain of processed food, scattered by unfocused thoughts, and wasted on petty, fruitless desires. As such, their thinking is confused, and their actions are erratic. Their material bodies are poisoned by undigested, decaying, and rotting food. Their auras are dim, and they lack astral defenses. They are exceedingly likely to be puppeted and steered by parasitic non-physical intelligence, many alien and hostile. These people are dangerous. They are confused, stupid, lazy, and selfish. Be compassionate to them, live a life that inspires them to improve, but always be wary of them. 

The development and purification of personal Agni burn away impurities that feed and help anchor non-physical entities (this type tends to be overwhelmingly evil) in your energy matrix. It burns away blockages and hindrances which stifle your vital energy and brings clarity to thought, action, and deed. The better, smoother you circulate your energy, the higher your vitality will be. Your capability to focus your will and achieve and accomplish will significantly increase. Your aura will become like an army of spartan warriors. 

Specific to the astralnaut, the hotter and cleaner your personal Agni, the faster your divine vehicle will fly and the longer and further it can travel. The vimana will contain increased martial capabilities, ensuring the efficaciousness of your work and intent. 

Mantra:

Om Ram Agnaye Namah

Repetition of Mantra:

108 times.

Frequency of Mantra: 

Morning to burn away obstacles between you and success, reduce any astral parasite or other non-physical intelligence picked up or accumulated while dreaming (hitchhikers) to ash, and ignite your external and internal digestive fire and combustion mechanisms.

Before bed, burn away petty concerns and prepare and energize the vimana for Dreamtime operations and for any unscheduled or opportunistic chances at lucid dreaming and or astral projection.
