THE MIDDLE PILLAR EXERCISE
The following is an exercise that will enable you to raise energy deepening your connection to Divine Source or the Infinite Field of Potential. The Middle Pillar Exercise raises energy by vibrating different ancient names for Divine Source or the Infinite Field of Potential while focusing on bringing white light into the energy centers of the body. (See picture above) Vibrating a name is more than just speaking it. Vibrating is a long slow pronunciation that is done in one tone without inflection or fluctuation. This vibrating is a key to raising energy. To help understand vibrating names you will find an audio clip at the end of each step. PLEASE NOTE: This exercise should be done in the morning to create a current that carries you through your whole day. It is an energizing exercise makes it hard to sleep when done at night.
Step 1: Relaxing & Prayer
Facing west (the direction of sunset) with feet together, standing straight, begin quieting the mind. Begin the Four Fold Breath by deeply inhaling through the nose for the count of four, hold it for a count of four, and then release it slowly through the mouth for a count of four, and again hold it a count of four. Continue breathing like this until you develop a rhythm. When you have achieved this four count rhythmic of breathing and your body is relaxed, say a small prayer to Divine Source or Infinite Field of Potential. Saying the prayer helps your mind become elevated. Whenever possible praying and speaking out loud is best for the elevation of the mind. The following is the prayer I say.
“Oh Source of Infinite Potential, the Vast and Mighty One, Ruler of the Light and the Darkness, I adore You and I invoke You. Look with favor upon me, as I now stand humbly before You and grant Your aid unto the highest aspiration of my soul, that I may be enabled to accomplish The Great Work to the glory of Your ineffable name. Amen!”
Step 2: Crown
Visualize a sphere or ball of brilliant white light, the size of a dinner plate, above your head, the purest and brightest that you can see in your mind’s eye. Taking your time to feel its presence, begin vibrating the Divine name Eheieh.Vibration should be in monotone at natural C, and elongated in the pronunciation. Choose to vibrate this name and the names to follow between 2-4 times.
Step 3: Throat
Keeping the sphere of light above your head bright and brilliant. Now visualize a line or beam of light being drawn down from the sphere above your head. Move the beam down through your head to the region of the throat. At this point of the throat, use the beam of light to visualize another sphere forming. The sphere at your throat should be just as bright as the sphere above your head but not as large. Make this sphere at your throat bright and make it encompassing the whole region of the throat. Now vibrate the Divine name YHVH Elohim. Be sure to vibrate this name the same number of times you choose to vibrate the first name.
Step 4: Solar Plexus
Once again, visualize another beam of light emanating from the sphere in the throat region, moving the beam down into the region of the solar plexus. Form another sphere of light here at the solar plexus which is a little larger than the sphere in the throat. Now vibrate the Divine name YHVH Eloah Veda’ath.
Step 5: Groin
In the same way as before, bring a beam of light down from the sphere in the solar plexus to the region of the groin. Form another sphere of light at the groin. Make it bright seeing your groin area filled with a sphere of bright white light. Now vibrate the Divine name Shaddai El Chai.
Step 6: Feet
Moving down once again, visualize another beam of light emanating from the sphere in the groin area and shooting toward the region of the feet. See the feet completely engulfed in another sphere of bright white light. Now vibrate the Divine name Adonai ha-Aretz.
Step 7: Completion
When this last step is completed, you should have a total of five spheres. Each sphere is brightly illuminated and all connected by one beam of light. Take a deep breath feeling all this light. Know that you are full of energy and connected to Divine Source or the Infinite Field of Potential. With this energy you stop suffering and attract more light. What you have just done is create a sphere of light on your body that correspond to a sephiroth on the Tree of Life. These specific sphere you lit up create the pillar of Mildness on the Tree of Life. The correspondence is shown below.
