The Hermetic Practice – Externalising the Elements through the hands and parts of the body (V.A3)

Projection of the Elements outside the body - part three

The exercise completes the part focused on externalising the Elements. The practice implementation does not display significant variances compared to the previously discussed externalisations.

Special attention is given to the hands and fingers due to their pivotal role in magical action, as earlier observed in the formulation of personal rituals in Step IV. Moreover, as noted by Bardon, the accumulation of the Elements in the hands enables the emission of the Element into space with a single imperious hand gesture, similar to a flash. We attribute a similar significance to the eyes, another essential tool for hermetic training. The capability to concentrate the Elements in the eyeballs will prove valuable in the exercises for developing astral clairvoyance at Step VII.

Externalisation exercises require a sustained and considerable time commitment. Once mastered, you can dedicate yourself to the practices associated with the external condensation of the Elements.
