How to control the flow of vital energy into the body’s organs

Italian version


This exercise is an evolution of the pore breathing exercise from the previous Step. The main difference is that attention is now directed to individual organs or body parts.

Focusing awareness on a specific body part may seem complicated, but it actually occurs quite naturally. When we experience sudden pain or a tactile sensation, our attention is instinctively drawn to the affected area. As mentioned in the pore-breathing session, this practice involves creating a mental impression that shifts our conscious attention to a specific organ. Through the connection with the astral or sensory body, we can begin to “feel” the organ’s breath.

If you have been consistently focusing on your breathing, you should find the practice manageable. Before starting the exercises, it is recommended to consult an anatomical atlas to help identify the various organs. Now, let’s proceed with the work:

  • Find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes. Focus your awareness on one of your legs, either the right or the left. Visualise the leg drawing in life energy from the universe; as you exhale, imagine releasing that energy back into the universe. Repeat this process seven times, then switch your focus to the other leg.
  • Practice the same exercise using your hands—first with one hand, then with the other, and finally with both hands at the same time.
  • After gaining some practice, begin with the internal organs, starting with the larger ones, such as the liver or intestines, followed by the smaller ones, such as the thymus and spleen. You can also experiment with bones, joints, or any body parts that are causing pain; inhaling life energy may help relieve symptoms and address bodily imbalances. This experience can be particularly challenging to define, and it may vary depending on the organ in question.
  • Work with as many organs or body parts as possible. Once you have learned to imbue most organs with life energy, the exercise is complete.

Bardon emphasises the importance of carefully managing the transfer of consciousness to the organs and the resulting inflow of life energy. This concept is essential to the practices he refers to as “space impregnation” and “biomagnetism,” which are detailed in the Third Step’s appendix. Additionally, mishandling this exercise can create difficulties when attempting to transfer consciousness to external objects and entities, as explained in the Fourth Step.
