Background
I, Guru Sanju, met Nielson at a delicate yet powerful point in his Energetic Mastery Method journey. He had just begun a simple mail-delivery job that demanded long hours on foot, carrying letters through the morning wind, and walking in both sunlight and rain. This routine looked ordinary from outside, but spiritually it marked the beginning of his energetic rehabilitation.
While walking, he noticed something subtle: his mind—once restless, looping through the same fears—grew quiet. Yet whenever he returned home and sat still, the old mental noise returned. His sleep pattern was reversed, his digestion weak, and his entire nervous system functioned as if he were much older than his biological age. Though forty-five, his pranic body felt like ninety.
Our sessions together were about helping him experience that life is change itself, that the human system must flow with that rhythm, and that healing occurs through movement, breath, and awareness. We reframed his job as an instrument of healing, a living field of therapy. Alongside that, I introduced the practice of 360-degree abdominal breathing with mouth exhalation—a simple yet profound technique to awaken the vagus nerve, restore natural rhythm, and open the dormant Kundalini energy within.
This discourse is not just instruction; it is the inner science of transformation.
Opening: entering the energetic field
“Hello, Nielson, how are you today?” I asked gently. His voice came through with a mixture of fatigue and relief.
He spoke about his week—delivering letters, feeling the freshness of the morning air, and how sometimes, while walking, an unexplainable peace descended. Yet, when he stopped walking, the peace vanished.
I listened silently. The first medicine for an agitated nervous system is to be heard without interference. After he finished, I said softly, “Yes… yes… good.”
Silence followed. In that silence, energy began to move.
Realisation: everything changes
“This is the realisation,” I told him. “Everything is changing all the time. The problem is not in the world but in the mind’s refusal to flow.”
The mind wants sameness; life offers constant motion. When one observes this clearly, attachment to both sadness and happiness dissolves. What remains is the simple rhythm of existence—breath, pulse, and presence.
Energy itself has no fixed identity. It shifts from potential to motion, from vibration to stillness. On the outer plane it gives strength to act; on the inner plane it reveals consciousness. When your body begins to reflect this truth, rigidity disappears. Joints loosen, spine lengthens, and the breath starts to mirror the pulse of the Earth.
Focus: making the body fluid
Everything in nature flows. Rocks crumble, rivers bend, trees sway, and stars move in orbits. Only the human mind wants to be static. The Energetic Mastery Method begins by returning the body to the wisdom of motion.
“When the body becomes fluid,” I said, “the mind follows automatically.”
You do not have to suppress thought; you have to move energy. The mind’s noise is only the echo of stagnation.
Courage: honouring the forward step
I congratulated Nielson. “You took the interview, you faced uncertainty, and you began this work. That act alone shifted your destiny.”
He had walked his mail route for four days and already felt lighter. “Do you feel any sense of inferiority about this simple job?” I asked.
He shook his head. The ego had lost its argument. Work itself had become the meditation. “Excellent,” I said. “You have defeated the most dangerous illusion—that spiritual worth is separate from ordinary life.”
Reframing work as a healing centre
“Now listen carefully,” I continued. “Your job is not just a source of income; it is your healing centre. Every letter you deliver, every step you take, is part of your therapy.”
Avoiding work means avoiding the medicine. Each day on the streets is a session inside the grand hospital of the universe. You walk into light, wind, and human connection. This rhythm retrains your circadian cycles, rebuilds muscular coordination, and grounds the scattered energies of the mind.
“Think of it,” I said, “as daily energy rehabilitation. You are not working; you are recovering your flow.”
Morning rhythm and circadian restoration
His body’s clock had been reversed for years. He used to stay awake deep into the night, eyes glued to screens, nervous energy buzzing. “Your brain,” I told him, “is not designed to fight the sun.”
Morning light carries frequencies that regulate the pineal and hypothalamus. When you rise early, breathe fresh air, and move under sunlight, melatonin resets, serotonin stabilises, and prana increases.
“When you follow nature’s rhythm, Kundalini will begin to flow on its own,” I said. “You will finally live as nature intended.”
Ordinary chores as Kundalini practice
I asked him to bring awareness into simple acts—washing clothes, cooking, cleaning. These are not chores; they are grounding rituals. When you move consciously, your energy field aligns.
“Each muscle movement,” I explained, “is a tiny breath of prana.”
When you scrub, knead, or sweep, thousands of nerve endings awaken. The parasympathetic system turns on, heart rhythm steadies, and the magnetic field of the body expands. This is how physical motion becomes spiritual healing.
A small experiment
I gave him a quick exercise: “Close your eyes and sense your body as it is. Now mimic the motion of washing clothes for one minute. Keep eyes closed. Then stop. Feel.”
After a pause he said, “There’s warmth moving up my back.”
“Perfect,” I said. “That is pranic movement. You have redirected energy from mental chatter into bodily current.”
The first five hours
“For the first five hours after waking,” I instructed, “stay active. Begin with your breath practice, then household tasks. This is the most important window of your day.”
When you act, energy flows from thought to movement. Thinking about doing steals time; actually doing compresses time. “You imagine cooking for an hour; you cook in thirty minutes,” I said. “Action brings order.”
As you bring energy from the head into the hands, Kundalini anchors in the abdomen instead of escaping upward prematurely. This stabilises awakening.
Preparing for transmission
I told him the next phase was to awaken the body’s natural wave—through 360-degree breathing. “This will prepare your nervous system to receive stronger energy transmissions later.”
He lay down, body relaxed. I began to describe the steps with precision.
Hand placements for 360° breathing
Position 1: Place both palms over the navel. Feel warmth, softness, and natural movement beneath.
Position 2: Slide palms to the sides beneath the ribs. Sense the lateral expansion, the body breathing like a bellows.
Position 3: Move hands down to the pelvic triangle—the foundation of your life energy. Imagine this base expanding slightly as you inhale.
“All three positions together form 360-degree breathing,” I explained. “Front, sides, and back expanding like a wave. It is the ocean within you.”
The science of exhalation
“Focus on the exhalation,” I said. “Breathe out through your mouth slowly, completely.”
Inhalation will happen naturally. When you exhale fully, you signal the vagus nerve to switch the body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest. The abdominal muscles relax; blood pressure lowers; prana begins to circulate downwards into the pelvic region where Kundalini rests coiled.
“Each exhale,” I said, “is an act of surrender. With every release, your energy field opens.”
Patience and the healing rhythm
I reminded him never to strain. This is not athletic breathing. Healing lies in slowness. The body learns through safety.
“Even if nothing happens for several days, continue,” I said. “You are building subtle circuits invisible to the eye. One day you will notice—you are breathing without trying. That is the beginning of mastery.”
The 100-degree metaphor
“Think of water,” I told him. “From zero to ninety-nine degrees, it looks the same. Only at one hundred does it transform to steam.”
Healing is like that. The daily breathwork raises your vibrational temperature. Until it reaches its threshold, you will feel nothing extraordinary. Then suddenly, consciousness will shift. Kundalini rises not by ambition but by accumulation of subtle consistency.
“Patience,” I said, “is the highest form of spiritual intelligence.”
Biofeedback through touch
I asked him to keep his palms on the sides and breathe gently. The hands serve as sensors, sending messages to the brain through skin receptors.
“Your touch tells the brain where to send breath,” I explained. “The body adjusts without effort. Simply keep your hands, and awareness will follow.”
As he relaxed, his breath deepened naturally. His eyelids trembled slightly—first sign of parasympathetic activation.
“Good,” I whispered. “Drowsiness means healing.”
Pelvic triangle awareness
“Now place both hands on the lower triangle,” I instructed. “Even if you can’t feel expansion, stay there. Just touch.”
Touch awakens nerve endings around the sacrum and lower abdomen, gently stimulating the root and sacral chakras. These are the first gates of Kundalini.
“Do not force breath there,” I said. “The body remembers on its own. You are reminding it how to breathe life again.”
Third-eye stillness
After several minutes, I asked him to bring both hands to the navel again and shift awareness to the forehead.
“Now feel the connection between belly and brow,” I said. “Energy travels up the spine naturally. Don’t push it.”
When abdominal breath synchronises with third-eye focus, an inner circuit completes. The central channel—sushumna nadi—begins to pulse faintly.
“Stay there,” I said softly. “Just stay.”
He sat up slowly afterwards, eyes calm, voice gentler than when we began.
The daily practice routine
“This was learning,” I told him. “Now you will practise every day for thirty minutes.”
Set an alarm so that you’re not thinking about time. You may play soft instrumental music, but keep attention on feeling. Move your hands freely: sometimes on navel, sometimes on sides, sometimes lower. “Imagine you are painting your abdomen with awareness,” I said. “Cover every inch.”
The 360° map of breath
From the diaphragm’s base to the pelvic floor, from the ribs to the back, this entire zone is your breathing field. Over weeks, you will feel as though breath is coming from every pore. That is 360-degree breathing.
“When that happens,” I explained, “your body will begin to hum like an instrument. That hum is Kundalini’s first song.”
Integrating Rhythm Into Life
After you finish the morning session, life itself becomes part of practice. Each task in your day must carry the same spirit of breathing and awareness.
When you walk to work, keep your breath soft through the mouth, shoulders loose, and chest open. Feel every step as a pulse of the Earth under your feet. With every letter you deliver, exhale gently, letting the breath leave through relaxed lips. This rhythm sends a signal from lungs to brain: I am safe. Safety is the first gate of Kundalini.
When you eat, chew slowly, sensing warmth in the abdomen. Let exhalation complete before taking the next bite. In this way digestion and pranic absorption synchronise. When you speak with others, keep a portion of awareness in the belly; this prevents your energy from scattering through unnecessary conversation.
Gradually the division between spiritual and ordinary dissolves. Sweeping the floor, cleaning dishes, or writing a report becomes movement meditation. This is what I mean when I say, work is your healing centre. The place does not matter; the consciousness behind the action does.
Strengthening a Weak System
For years Nielson’s body had forgotten its natural intelligence. The neck remained stiff, shoulders slouched forward, breath shallow. “Your posture,” I said, “is the language of your nervous system. Straighten it gently; never force.”
When the spine elongates, cerebrospinal fluid moves freely, carrying electrical messages from brain to sacrum. That movement nourishes the subtle nerve channels—ida and pingala—that flank the spine. These channels balance the solar and lunar currents in the body. Without their cooperation, Kundalini cannot ascend safely.
I encouraged him to take short sun baths daily, standing barefoot on the earth for a few minutes after sunrise. “This connects the electromagnetic field of your body to that of the planet,” I explained. “The ions entering through your soles will ground excessive charge in the head. The more grounded you become, the calmer the mind grows.”
Within two weeks his breathing deepened and his sleep improved. “This is not coincidence,” I said. “It is the geometry of energy finding its alignment.”
Practical Supports and Daily Adjustments
To stabilise progress I gave him simple guidelines:
- Drink warm water soon after waking to flush overnight acidity.
- Keep screens away for at least the first hour of morning and last hour of night.
- Avoid arguing or gossiping, for they waste vital breath.
- Before sleep, place the right hand on the heart and left on the navel, exhaling until the body feels heavy.
These small disciplines train the system to stay in parasympathetic mode. Over time even the cells start remembering calmness.
I also advised a light evening walk. “Do not make it exercise,” I said. “Make it communion. Feel the air on your skin; listen to the rhythm of your steps. If the mind wanders, bring it back to breath.”
The Painting Metaphor Expanded
One evening during practice I asked him to imagine his palms dipped in golden light. “Now paint your abdomen,” I said. “Spread the light like a gentle artist, each stroke a breath.”
He began moving hands over the belly—front, sides, back—feeling warmth radiating. The act became prayer. “See,” I told him, “you are creating your own healing canvas. The body is not a machine; it is a moving painting of energy.”
Some days colours appear dull, others vivid. Both are signs of process. Dullness means detoxification; brightness means replenishment. The artist does not judge his strokes; he simply continues.
Before Sleep – The Night Practice
The night is not absence of light; it is the womb of regeneration. I asked him to lie down by eleven o’clock and start his breathing by ten-thirty.
“Close your eyes,” I said. “Place hands on the abdomen. Exhale slowly until thoughts fade. Inhale softly through the nose, mouth open, lips parted. Feel the belly rise like a tide.”
As he practised nightly, the restless dreams that once troubled him began to subside. He reported waking fresher, even joyful. “That,” I said, “is how Kundalini cleanses the subconscious. She works while you sleep.”
If he awoke during the night, I asked him to repeat a short cycle of ten breaths. “Do not fight sleeplessness,” I said. “Use it. Turn it into meditation.”
Sessions and Purpose
During the following sessions we reviewed his progress. Each meeting had a specific intention: grounding, balancing, opening. “A session,” I told him, “is not about collecting techniques; it is about deepening one rhythm until it becomes second nature.”
By the third week his face had softened, and a natural smile lingered even when he was silent. “You are beginning to live from the belly,” I said. “That is the seat of instinctive intelligence.”
I explained that the human nervous system is like a musical instrument tuned by breath. When breath becomes even and silent, the instrument plays harmoniously without external effort. The practitioner then becomes both musician and melody.
Readiness Principle
Originally his program was to end in mid-August, but I reminded him that spiritual work is not bound by calendar. “Readiness,” I said, “is the true timing of transmission.”
Kundalini energy does not respond to impatience. It listens only to balance. When the channels are clean and the heart steady, the current moves by itself. My role as teacher is to sense when the vessel can hold the voltage. “If the current comes too soon,” I explained, “the wire burns. If it comes at the right time, it illuminates.”
For now, his task was simple: breathe, walk, and work with awareness. In seven days, I told him, we would assess the system’s receptivity.
Troubleshooting Common Blocks
Some mornings he felt heaviness in the head. I explained that this was ungrounded prana gathering in the upper chakras. “Spend ten minutes longer on exhalation,” I advised. “Visualise energy descending through the soles into the earth.”
On days of fatigue he was to shorten the session and rest afterward. “Energy work is not a race,” I said. “The nervous system must always feel safe.”
If strong emotions appeared—anger, grief, sudden tears—I told him to welcome them. “They are memories leaving your cells. Let them go with exhalation.”
Sample Morning Plan – The Five-Hour Template
- 5 a.m. – 5:30 a.m. Wake, drink warm water, step outside for first light.
- 5:30 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. Practise 360-degree breathing with slow mouth exhalation.
- 6:00 a.m. – 6:30 a.m. Sit silently, observing natural breath and sensations.
- 6:30 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. Engage in physical chores or gentle work. Keep awareness in movement.
- 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Breakfast, walk to work, maintain rhythmic breathing.
“This five-hour rhythm,” I told him, “is your daily temple. Build it brick by brick until it becomes effortless.”
Thinking Versus Doing
I reminded him repeatedly that overthinking drains more energy than physical labour. Ten minutes of clear action produces more healing than ten hours of anxious thought. “The intellect,” I said, “is a good servant but a terrible master.”
When he worked, energy circulated; when he sat and analysed, energy froze. Slowly he began to understand that the mind is only a reflection of the body’s vibration. By keeping the body moving, he kept thoughts fluid.
Safety Reminders
Safety is not caution born of fear; it is awareness grounded in respect. I told him: “Never practise when hungry or immediately after heavy meals. Keep spine straight but not rigid. If dizziness appears, pause, drink water, or lie flat.”
Kundalini awakening is not about force. It is about harmony. When the inner elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—balance, energy rises the way a flame rises in still air: quietly, steadily, luminously.
Understanding Kundalini
“Kundalini,” I said, “is the intelligence of life itself. She is not external power but your own consciousness folded within.”
When breath and awareness become one, this latent energy begins to move from the root upward through the spine, touching each chakra like a traveller visiting sacred cities. In the root she creates grounding; in the sacral, creativity; in the solar plexus, courage; in the heart, compassion; in the throat, expression; in the brow, insight; and at the crown, unity.
“The purpose,” I explained, “is not spectacle but integration. True awakening makes you human, not superhuman.”
Expanding Awareness in Work
During his deliveries he began to notice details he had never seen before—the glimmer of dew on grass, the scent of bread from a bakery, the rhythm of children playing. “These are signs of presence,” I told him. “Kundalini is not separate from the world; she animates it.”
I encouraged him to treat each encounter as sacred. When someone smiled, he returned the smile fully; when a dog barked, he breathed deeper instead of shrinking. “Every sound is part of the orchestra of life,” I said. “Your job is to stay in tune.”
Deepening the Breath Practice
In the following week I added refinement. On exhalation he was to whisper “haa” or hum softly, letting the vibration resonate through the belly. The soundwave massages internal organs and strengthens the diaphragm. “Sound is compressed breath,” I explained. “When released consciously, it becomes mantra.”
Later we introduced gentle retention—holding breath for two seconds after exhalation, not for control but for stillness. “Notice the silence between breaths,” I said. “That is where energy regenerates.”
The Teacher’s Observation
I watched how his body language changed. The lines on his forehead eased; shoulders opened; eyes brightened. These are physiological reflections of parasympathetic dominance. Science and spirituality are not separate—both describe the same phenomenon in different tongues.
“As your carbon dioxide balance stabilises,” I told him, “your cerebral blood flow increases. That nourishes intuition. When science meets awareness, transformation becomes complete.”
Returning to Work as Prayer
By the fourth week, he described a feeling of communion while walking his route. “Sometimes it feels as if the streets themselves are breathing with me,” he said.
I smiled. “That is the threshold of unity. The external world and the internal rhythm have merged. Keep walking with awareness; this is your pilgrimage.”
Every envelope he carried became a vessel of calm. Every step imprinted harmony on the earth beneath him.
Signs of Progress
He began sleeping through the night, waking refreshed. Anxiety diminished. Occasional moments of spontaneous gratitude appeared—small tears, quiet laughter. These are natural side-effects of energy release.
I reminded him: “Do not chase these experiences. They are flowers on the path, not the destination. The goal is steadiness.”
Final Transmission
When I finally transmitted energy, I asked him to lie down, palms on the belly, eyes closed. I breathed slowly, synchronising our fields. Within minutes a subtle vibration filled the room, like wind moving through hollow bamboo. His breath deepened, then became completely silent.
After the session he whispered, “It felt as if light was flowing through my veins.”
“That light,” I said, “is you. The practice has only removed the clouds.”
The Science Behind the Mystery
For the benefit of those who study, I explained later: the abdominal breath stimulates the vagus nerve, which connects brainstem to organs. Activation of this nerve lowers heart rate, improves digestion, and releases acetylcholine, calming the entire system. When combined with awareness, this physiological calm becomes spiritual openness. The channels that yogic texts call nadis correspond to subtle electrical pathways supported by this biological foundation. Thus, energy work is neuro-spiritual science in action.
Continuing the Journey
I told him his next step was not to seek new methods but to deepen the existing rhythm until it became part of his nature. “Let breath accompany every act,” I said. “When you eat, breathe; when you walk, breathe; when you love, breathe.”
Over months the practice would move from deliberate to spontaneous. Then, even during conversation or sleep, energy would flow unobstructed. This is true mastery—not escape from life but immersion in it.
Closing Counsel
“Kundalini awakening,” I concluded, “is the flowering of ordinary life into extraordinary awareness. It does not demand isolation; it asks for sincerity.”
Practise twice daily. Keep mornings sacred. Let each action become meditation. Honour the breath as the bridge between body and spirit.
When water reaches one hundred degrees, steam rises naturally; when readiness ripens, Kundalini ascends of her own accord. Do not rush the mystery—live it.
Healing is rhythm. Breath by breath, day by day, life reshapes itself into light. Flow with that rhythm, flow with that light, and the current of existence will reveal its original face—pure, radiant, and free.
