Personally, I love it when Brian (my teacher) shares with me details of his personal practice. For the most part, in our video lessons and on our live calls, we teach meditation practices, techniques, and principles that anyone can apply within their spiritual practice to have the experiences and get the results that they want. But at least for me, its so great to hear about those techniques and principles being applied in real time by my teacher, and what that experience looks like. In many ways I think it makes the lessons more relatable and understandable. Often, when Brian chooses to share details of his practice with me I think… “oh okay, I guess I am doing it right… those things ARE supposed to happen” and sometimes I think “Oh man! I gotta get my shit together!” :-) Sometimes it will make me feel more confident in my own practice, and sometimes it helps me to course correct and reapply my efforts in the right way, to get where I want to go. In that regard, I hope this episode serves you in the way it served me. In this behind the scenes episode of The 2BSilent Podcast Brian shares his recent experience working with The I Ching. He shares the profound nature of the answer he received from the oracle and how it is shaping the focus of his practice, and the effect that is having on him. See notes below for more details. If you are interested in the I Ching. We highly recommend the following books and translations. The I Ching, or, Book of Changes, Translated by Richard Wilhelm I Ching, the Oracle: A Practical Guide to the Book of Changes, by Benebell Wen - - - Topics we discussed in today's episode - Brian talks about how his spiritual practice has “blown open” recently. - Working with the I-Ching and some of the effects it has had on him. - "Introducing” yourself to the I-Ching and to the Spirit that governs it. - The profound response Brian got to his question. - The practice of asking yourself “What do you want?” and “Why do you want it?” - How this practice can lead to internal transformation and shifts in perception. - Why you are afraid to reveal your deepest motivation to yourself. - - - We hope you enjoy the episode! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out and let us know.

In one of my recent plant medicine ceremonies I was able to consciously transform fear and anxiety into appreciation and peace. In the midst of the experience every thought that came into my mind caused anxiety. Every person, every situation, and every unknown that came into my mind caused me to feel tension and fear. I was afraid, not only, of the thoughts I was having, but of the thoughts that might come up next. It was an endless cycle of anxiety. The lesson that I received was that I could consciously choose to be appreciative of everything that came into my mind, every aspect of my experience, and even every sensation in my body. None of it was comfortable in the beginning. But as I brought my attention to each thought, I could cultivate the emotion of appreciation around it and within myself. This continued for some time. Eventually, it led to a peak experience of feeling like I had wrapped myself in a blanket of appreciation. It felt like I was in a cocoon of warmth and peace, and gave me the feeling that I was ready for whatever came next. I’ll admit, it does NOT feel easy to do this all the time. Not for me anyway. But this experience has stayed with me, and supported me in my daily life and my spiritual practice ever since. In today’s episode of the podcast, we do not specifically discuss this experience I just shared. However, we discuss how we can use the attitude, energy, and approach of appreciation to help us in our spiritual practice as well as many other fascinating topics. I really enjoyed today’s conversation with Brian, and I hope you do as well. See below for a full list of topics we covered and resources we mentioned. Enjoy!

Brian is able to transition from a waking state into a lucid dreaming state at will, stay in the lucid dreaming state as long as he needs to on any given night, and frequently does healing work for clients through lucid dreaming. In today’s Podcast episode we briefly discuss what I believe is an aspect of his personality that has helped him cultivate these abilities. We discuss a different ‘level’ of lucid dreaming. A “spiritual realm” that is even more subtle and clear than regular lucid dreams in which you can meet with spiritual mentors, guides, and other entities. Brian shares a bit about his experience of learning to get to this place and what it is like there. Additionally we discuss how this contrasts with the challenges of ‘mundane’ life, using a specific and recent example from Brian’s life. We begin our discussion of this different ‘level of lucid dreaming at around 12 minutes into the conversation. Thanks everyone, enjoy.

Stage 1: being able to lucid dream once a week consistently for the purpose of fun and adventure. Stage 2: developing the ability to enter the lucid dreaming state directly from the waking state, at will. Also, cultivating the ability to stabilize the dreaming state indefinitely (for hours of conscious experience), learning to travel within the dream state, and finally, to learning to manifest environments at will. Stage 3: graduation to the third stage involves being able to experience shared lucid dreaming. During this phase we also learn to invoke subconscious aspects of ourselves as spiritual guides, conquer personal nightmares (internal chaotic forces), and learn to meet with other energetic beings. Stage 4: we discuss dreams of clear-light, and the concept of 'constant-consciousness'.

We are currently creating our new free online course: "Foundational Spiritual Practices" (available here: www.2bsilent.com/catalog). This conversation is a 'behind the scenes' look at our internal process of discussing, debating, and clarifying the principles and practices we work with so they can be articulated clearly in a written form. Today we are discussing the principle "Relaxation is Power" as it relates to spiritual practice, meditation, and manifestation. What is the actual nature of the relationship between body, mind, and spirit? What is the connection between spirit and power? How does conscious relaxation make spirit an increasingly experiential aspect of our life? In today's fascinating conversation we explore all of this and more. Enjoy! For those who want to dive deeper and explore these principles and practices in-depth we offer The 2BSilent Membership: an online community platform, the ability to ask questions and engage with us directly on our Live Q&A calls, and access to our full library of guided meditations and online courses.

In this episode of The 2BSilent Podcast Brian and Dustin discuss the Foundational Principle: "The External is a Perfect Mirror of The Internal." This principle states that your external environment, your life, is a perfect reflection of your internal. But what does that actually mean? As we compose our new course: "Foundational Spiritual Practices" (available here: www.2bsilent.com/catalog) we are seeking to bring clarity to these ideas. This conversation is a 'behind the scenes' look at our process of working through the finer details of this idea so that we can ultimately arrive at a clear and concise articulation of the principle.

OVERVIEW

In this segment of How To See Energy we review the practice of The Dragon Mediation. In this meditation we tap on a vast energetic resource. Over millennia Taoists have used this practice to cultivate a relationship with a powerful archetypal energy. This energetic entity which symbolizes the quintessence of Heaven energy can be worked with to heal mind and body, open the energy centers, and effect change in our inner and outer worlds. Remember the Taoist principle: stagnation bad, movement good. This meditation is primarily aimed at creating flow where there is stagnation. As your confidence with this meditation grows you may use it to perform healings on others.

The guided Dragon Mediation for Seeing Energy is part of our “Opening The Third Eye” guided meditation course.

We also offer a free version of The Dragon Meditation for Immune and Respiratory Health.

All of our standalone guided meditation programs are available on our website at https://www.2bsilent.com/guided-meditations

TIMESTAMPED NOTES

0:30 - The Dragon Meditation can be used for many purposes.

1:30 - We begin our description of the meditation starting with posture.

2:15 - The bridges that we use in this practice that help us create a link between where we are physically and where we go in the meditation. These details allow the mind to bring the two places together and create a deeper experience with greater benefits.

3:30  - Most of the time people are do not really think that what they are doing in their meditations are changing them and their environment on a physical level. Yet that is exactly what we are expecting and intending. We discuss some of the ways we enhance these effects.

7:15 - In the Dragon Mediation we are directly on the beach. In The Burning Meditation we are on a cliff above a beach. We discuss.

8:45 - Once you establish where you go in this meditation always return to this same location. We discuss why this is important.

11:00 - Additionally we want to always use the same incense for the same mediation. This consistency creates a mental link and stronger neural pathways over time.

12:00 - Ultimately your meditations and visualizations can become as real as a lucid dream. The closer we come to this ideal, more of what occurs in the mediations will transfer back to the physical. Relaxation is the key to increasing the vividness of our inner experience.

16:00 - We continue the description of the mediation: calling out to the dragon.

17:00 - On speaking your intent and being specific: in this case, speaking to the dragon, and in this instance, for seeing energy. Brian’s thoughts on making this part personal.

19:00 - The dragon blows fire through the chakras from the inside out.

20:45 - When the Dragon moves inside you, you see through its eyes.

21:30 - The dragon may do more than blow fire. The changes in coloration that should be visualized during this clearing process.

22:00 - At the end the Dragon will blow fire over the whole body and coordinate / harmonize the chakras together.

24:00 - The meaning and symbolism of Dragon from the Taoists.

27:00 - This Dragon Mediation taps on an energetic resource that is vast. Imagine a reservoir of thousands of people that have done this practice and used this symbolism over millennia. Through sympathetic resonance we are connecting with a mastermind that has been used for millennia.

31:30 - Thoughts on different forms the dragon may take on depending on your purpose for the meditation.

Timestamped Notes 1:00 - Shifting Frequencies and how Brian entrains to other people to shift their energy. 10:30 - The importance of going through ‘neutral’ when shifting into a different state of being using an ‘open focus’ of awareness on your sphere of sensation / aura. 11:00 - video starts 14:00 - Dustin begins talking about his latest mushroom trip / ceremony and the intense challenge of it. By the phrase “you’re doing it” we mean that you are creating / manifesting everything in your life. 15:00 - The importance of having a target or state of being in mind that you want to be in. Otherwise you will entrain to whatever frequency happens to be the strongest at the time. “You’re mind is so powerful you’ll get whatever you think about most of the time.” 18:00 - Brian relates this entrainment technique and the simplicity of it to the wave / particle “observer” phenomenon in quantum physics. 21:30 - The pitfall of focusing on getting rid of what you don’t want instead of focusing on what you do want and allowing that to ‘displace’ what you don’t want. 24:00 - On doing the practice consistently to build momentum in the direction of what you want. 28:00 - The importance of stating what you want before beginning any practice and developing stability of mind. 29:30 - Dustin mentions “The Attention Revolution” by B. Alan Wallace 30:30 - Brian talks about focusing on your nostrils vs abdomen and how these stimulate different types of focus to overcome lassitude and gross excitation in the practice of Shamatha. For more info see B. Alan Wallace’s book “The Attention Revolution” 32:00 - On building the neural pathways we want into “super highways” through repeated practice: for meditation, focus, relaxation, and lucid dreaming. 33:30 - Brian talks about lucid dreaming over 80% of the time he goes to sleep. 37:00 - Brian and Dustin talk about doing mushrooms and Dustin’s latest trip / mushroom ceremony. 38:30 - What Brian does in his lucid dreams 42:00 - Brian talks about his 24 hour rituals. 43:20 - We discuss ‘Allies’ / mushrooms or any other psychedelic plant medicine, and continue talking about Brian’s 24 hour days of spiritual practice 56:00 - We talk about mushrooms as teachers and micro dosing. 1:01:00 - The degree of difficulty of any psychedelic experience will be in relationship to what you are asking for. 59:00 - Your personality is a resonance and you’re going to attract a certain type of ally / spirit 60:30 - Mushrooms are a collective of entities 1:05:30 - Continuing to talk about Dustin's latest mushroom ceremony and his relationship with the Allies, likening then to almost a kind of guardian Angel. Asking for a symbol or word to call them with.

“Hold the image of what you want in your mind and say the name (the name or symbol you have chosen or that they have given you)”. 1:07:00 - “What is the symbol of you asking for help?” The subconscious speaks in symbols. What would be a symbolic image that represents the idea of you asking for help? Brian gives an example and we discuss how to use such a symbol in your life. 1:13:00 - The importance of making your spiritual practices personal. 1:14:00 - The nature of the conscious mind. 1:16:30 - Physical movement equates to mental emotional movement and the relationship between the two. 1:18:00 - Brian refers to The Flammarion engraving. A famous work of art depicting a figure looking through the veil of reality. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammarion_engraving 1:19:00 - By sphere of sensation Brian is referring to your aura / energy field. 1:19:30 - We discuss the training for this work being hard vs what the mushrooms told Dustin in his last ceremony: “it can be easy when you choose for it to be easy.” 1:21:00 - The dissolution of the energy field, the transition of death, and the goal of freedom within physical life. 1:26:00 - Life as a temporary ‘vacation’ from our authentic eternal connected self.

1:30 - Having your energy stagnated is "the opposite of seeing energy." Any exercise that incorporates "strength, flexibility, and balance" and consciously coordinates breathing and movement is so helpful and important.

2:00 - “The Harmony of The Universe” performed with closed eyes can facilitate a "view of colors, or light."

3:30 - One of the most common colors to see is purple. However, any light or color you perceive behind your closed eyes during the practice can be focused on and enhanced. This will be discussed in greater detail in the 3rd eye meditation segment of the program.

5:00 - The importance of not grasping at phenomena.

5:30 - An important reminder to keep a slight tension in the abdomen during qigong exercises, but relaxed everywhere else. This is an important nuance as it helps to circulate chi throughout the body.

6:00 - More on focusing your attention on the lighter areas behind your closed eyes.

8:00 - The difference between resisting the flow of energy in your environment, and "going with the flow.” Some inspiring examples of how we can use the ability of seeing energy and the insights it can provide in your life.

11:30 - On identifying "places of power” including a place of power within any room or space.

14:15 - Qigong instruction / demonstration begins.

15:00 - The reason why the motions of qigong are slow and fluid.

16:30 - On doing the exercise with eyes open vs eyes closed.

16:45 - How long should we do the exercise for?

17:00 - Building Qigong vs. Healing Qigong.

17:30 - Dustin: "Do you think that as you are becoming more sensitive to the tactile sensation of the energy that, that is promoting your mind to 'tune in' to the energy, and therefore helps to promote seeing?”

18:00 - What to focus on at each stage of your familiarity with the practice.

19:30 - Brian explains a few details for beginning the exercise.

21:00 - Brian performs "The Harmony of the Universe."

25:00 - Brian teaches some nuances of the exercise.

31:50 - Always start your breathing before you start the physical motion. The idea in qigong is that the physical motion is matched to the rhythm of your breath not the other way around.

34:00 - Never lock your joints.

36:30 - The importance of having a physical energetic practice such as yoga or qigong.

38:00 - Brian reviews the hand position of "snake" and some other final details of the practice.

Overview

The candle gazing exercise helps to enhance our ability to see energy and gives us the experience of seeing how our words shape our perception. The candle gazing exercise is also an excellent diagnostic tool. We can see our own energy field reflected in the aura of the candle and may eventually use it to see the energy field of others at a distance.

Timestamped Notes

0:00 - How to perform the candle gazing exercise.

1:30 - You can do this with any flame, a campfire works well.

3:00 - You want to be in a completely dark room, the candle being the only source of illumination.

3:30 - The proper posture for meditation.

5:30 - Gaze at the candle and spread the focus of your attention softly into your peripheral vision. Gazing entails that nothing is more important than anything else in your vision.

8:30 - The importance of being relaxed: no force, no trying, no effort in focusing even in the periphery of your vision.

9:30 - State what you are there to do: "I am here now, to use the aura of the candle flame (which reflects my own aura) to see my own energy field." Say to yourself: "as I do this exercise and perform this gazing it is going to put me into a deeper state of relaxation. The more I relax, the more focus I have."

11:45 - You will begin to see that the candle has an aura. Ultimately you will be able to see a sphere 6 inches in diameter with the colors of the rainbow in order from inside to out.

12:30 - When this happens confirm the experience and state out loud: "what I am seeing now is a reflection of my own aura".

13:00 - When you begin to see the aura you'll notice peculiarities that are unique to you. The color arrangement is a reflection of the dominance or weakness of different frequencies in your field that correspond to those colors.

13:45 - Speak aloud the name of one of the colors. When you do that band of color will grow and get larger or brighter.

14:45 - This is an experience of seeing how the words you speak affect your environment.

16:30 - You are what you think about most of the time.

18:30 - Reciprocity and the power of anonymity: "you get the way you give."

22:00 - Like only speaks to like. How to ‘prime the pump’ by giving the way you want to receive. This helps us to entrain to the spiritual entities that we want help from. We emulate what we are trying to attract.

24:00 - What to do when when we speak a color name and nothing happens

26:00 - How this technique is used as a diagnostic tool.

27:00 - As you get more proficient with seeing you will be able to see your own energy field diagnostically reflected in the candle in more detail.

37:45 - The difference between intention and grasping.

41:00 - What to do if you are having a hard time seeing the aura around the candle at all? How to deal with feelings of frustration.

41:45 - Let the results go as much as the phenomena. You want to be as neutral as you can. We're all anticipating some kind of wiz-bang phenomena and when it doesn't happen you can feel kind of flat. Just close your eyes, let it go, and start over again. Always come back to relaxation.

42:30 - Always associate success with relaxation, just like we associate focus with relaxation.

43:00 - How to feel the light with your eyes instead of trying to see it more sharply.

46:00 - Thoughts on making spiritual practices personal.

Overview

It is important not to get overwhelmed by thinking that we have to do, or must do, more than we can do. When we learn new techniques and orient ourself toward a new and exciting goal we have a lot of enthusiasm. How do we maintain that excitement, keep things fresh, and keep a healthy perspective on the process?

In today’s episode we talk about several strategies and insights that can help keep us on course and maintain a sense of adventure in our practice.

A great reminder from this conversation: “Overwhelm is a state that can be perpetuated by working more. Instead, consider how you can switch things up? Make sure your practice is something that you want to do, not something you have to do.”

Timestamped Notes

1:00 - How does any particular practice relate to the overall goal that you are trying to achieve?

2:30 - You cannot do every technique every day. An example of scheduling your practice.

3:00 - This is not a linear process, and it is individual for each person.

4:30 - Using a journal to track your progress.

5:30 - Save time by making your magical diary more like a simple lab-book to save time and increase motivation.

6:00 - Using your journal to track the patterns in your practice and your life

8:30 - Overwhelm is a state that can be perpetuated by working more. Instead, consider how you can switch things up? Make sure your practice is something that you want to do, not something you have to do.

10:30 - Questions to ask yourself to negotiate with yourself and how you spend your time. Thoughts on weaving the technique into your daily life.

12:00 - Even though we push responsibility and doing the work it is important to keep the balance and not beat yourself down. Thoughts on staying motivated, excited, and “in the zone.”

15:00 - Don't ever put it in your mind: "If I can just get to a certain place (goal, end result, state of being) then I'll be good." Everything moves; change is the only constant. If you think you're going to stand still while everything else is moving around you, you are asking for trouble.

17:00 - A multi-faceted approach is much better than trying to find the “one perfect technique”. Try to approach your goals from all angles, over time, and keep the end result in mind.

Overview

What is “Assuming the God Form”? How does it relate to New-Thought and the work of Neville Goddard? How can we apply these techniques in our spiritual practice to become the future version of ourselves that can already see energy, or has already achieved whatever goal we may have for ourselves in our lives?

We know that everything is energy and that the world is a mirror. If we want to experience something different or perceive the world differently we need to embody the version of ourselves that already exists in that reality. If we smile first, then the mirror can smile back at us.

When it comes to something like seeing energy or achieving some external manifestation in our lives it isn’t always easy to know how to adjust ourselves to get the result we want. We need to use our imagination, and invoke our future self to guide us. In today’s episode we discuss these principles and how we can integrate this technique into our daily life.

Timestamped Notes

3:30 - "Assuming the God-Form" in it’s traditional form

4:00 - Why do images of gods and goddesses look the way that they do?

7:30 - How this practice relates to the Jesuits imagining themselves walking in the footsteps of christ as described in “The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.”

9:00 - The principle of “sympathetic magic” and how to think about “abilities” as simply entrainment to a specific vibration.

10:00 - The teachings of Neville Goddard help to inform how we perform this practice. What would it be like to see energy, to be a seer?

14:00 - How to integrate this practice throughout the day.

17:00 - Traditional esotericists suggest isolating this practice from your daily life, why we advise differently.

19:00 - On rectifying the perceived incongruence of blending something "holy" with the "mundane" world.

21:00 - In ancient Egypt, they did not have a word for religion because it was so much a part of their daily life. There was no duality, no separation. Spirituality and daily life were the same thing.

24:00 - Markers of success and an emphasis on practical results.

27:00 - An example of using this technique in a business / financial scenario.

31:00 - Applying this technique to the works of Carlos Castaneda.

35:00 - Embodying the future version of yourself. Ask yourself the question: what would I look like, walk like, talk like, when (fill in the blank)? Then be that person, act that way, speak that way, generate that frequency of energy.

41:00 - Invoke your future self and ask them what you need to do to adjust yourself to become them, to be the version of yourself that (fill in the blank).

44:00 - What not to do with this practice.

49:00 - How the application of this practice can make or break the manifestation of the results you are looking to achieve.

53:00 - On developing your personal practice.

57:00 - The importance of staying focused on the end result and not being distracted by phenomena.

58:00 - Approach the practice you are doing from the perspective that you have already achieved your goal, you are already that version of yourself.

Overview

In How To See Energy (Part 7) - The Throat Chakra: Master Key of Seeing Energy and How To See Energy (Part 11) - Waking Up The Throat Chakra we discussed two techniques for stimulating the throat chakra: Wind-Breathing, and the Humming or Buzzing technique. We also discussed how important the throat chakra is as a means of opening the third eye.

Now that we have spent some time toning the energy of the throat chakra we will use these techniques to practice the “The Third Eye Initiation.” In this exercise we stimulate a flow of energy in the third eye by ‘linking’ the throat and third eye chakras together.

This “Initiation” practice is an important exercise that prepares us for the “Third Eye Meditation” which will help us to further open and develop the third eye for seeing energy.

18:00 - Step 1: Begin with the humming technique while bringing awareness into the throat center. This technique is discussed in How To See Energy: “Waking Up The Throat Chakra.”

21:00 - Step 2: Begin the Wind Breathing. This technique is discussed in How To See Energy: “The Throat Chakra: Master Key of Seeing Energy”. Continue for 3-5 minutes.

23:00 - Brian recommends the ‘Seconds’ app as a meditation timer: http://www.runloop.com/seconds-pro

23:45 - Step 3: While continuing the wind breathing bring your awareness to your third eye area.

24:45 - Step 4: Take your dominant hand and bring your palm to your third eye, resting it 1-3 inches away from your forehead. Continue the wind-breathing.

26:30 - Step 5: Lower your hand and bring your awareness to the sensation of the wind breathing in your throat. Then become aware of both the sensation in the third eye and the sensation in your throat at the same time.

29:30 - Step 6: Allow your awareness to rest in the third eye, no longer holding attention in both the throat and third eye, but now only in the third eye, as you continue the wind-breathing.

31:00 - Step 7: Now stop the wind breathing, stay very still, keep your awareness in your third eye, feel the sensations there, and notice if there is any 'luminosity' behind your closed eyes.

34:00 - If you do see colors, or light, or fog, or sparks, behind your closed eyes (any thing at all) say to your self, to your subconscious: "Yes, more like that.”

The exercise discussed in this video is a warm-up exercise for the third eye initiation and third eye meditation practices.

The Throat Chakra: Master Key of Seeing Energy, the throat chakra is the hidden ‘master key’ of our energetic anatomy. Our energy body is just like our physical body. If we exercise in the right way we will become stronger and more flexible, and we’ll be able to direct and control our energies in a more conscious way. In this case, we are learning to develop the energy of the throat chakra so we can utilize it to help us open our third eye.

In the end we want to be able to bring our awareness to a territory in the body and sense a vibration there. 6:50 - How this exercise is different than Wind-Breathing. 7:30 - Energetic anatomy: the energy-body is just like the muscles and physical organs. We do different exercises and adjust our diet to effect different aspects of our physical body. The energy body is the same, and this is one of those exercises. 8:30 - The more we stimulate and tone the throat chakra, the better we'll be able to use it to open the third eye. It's the key. 11:00 - The throat chakra is a big deal. When it's online and toned up it makes it much easier to do energy work including manifesting what you want. 12:30 - Suggested practice routines and integration throughout the day. 13:30 - Make the practice stronger, more pointed, and more effective by stating what you are doing this for: "I am here now to perform this humming technique to open the throat chakra to facilitate seeing energy". The importance of setting the precedent of having a clear goal prior to doing anything. 14:30 - Why this seemingly silly technique effects our energy body in a way that can have profound effects. 16:00 - The energy body and gradations of density. 17:00 - We are a gradient of energy from most subtle and etheric to most dense and solid. When we stimulate the throat physically it sends a ripple through every aspect of our being and through every layer of our 'bodies', like the concentric rings in ripples of water.

Because of the generalized effect of the technique, it burns away that which holds us back and brought us stress. 4:00 - We envision black sludge or smoke coming out of our pores. This is the "stress and mental fatigue” we have acquired, and which will be burned off in this meditation. 6:00 - The burning meditation clears impeded energetic channels in our system. 9:00 - How The Burning Meditation promotes seeing energy by making you more sensitive. 10:30 - Can I learn this at home over the Internet? 13:30 - Why many of Brian's most successful students have been people without a lot of resources (time and money). 18:00 - Burning Meditation can help to remove distractions from our lives and the stress of chastising ourselves for not doing what we think we should be doing. It gives us a more clear view of ourselves and the situations in our lives. 22:00 - What your energy field looks like after you have done The Burning Meditation. 23:15 - The meaning of ‘muddy’ colors in someone’s energy field. 23:30 - At a certain level of seeing you can perceive millions of fibers of light spinning on the central axis around your body. 24:30 - There is a direct correlation between how fast those fibers of light are spinning around the aura and your degree of awareness. The Burning Meditation makes the energy field and those fibers of light spin faster. 24:45 - When you are feeling down, slow, and stressed it means your energy field is spinning slowly. When you can see energy you’ll notice that most people look like they are moving through molasses. 25:30 - Clarity of color, light, and spin in someone’s aura indicate clarity of thought and that they are moving with purpose. 26:15 - The definition of clairvoyance is clear vision. If we want to see energy then we need to be clear mentally. The Burning Meditation supports this clarity of mind. 28:00 - On Masterminds and their roots in the Esoteric Traditions. 32:30 - How often to practice The Burning Meditation. 39:00 - How The Burning meditation helps healthcare professionals and anyone working with people all day to release the energetic baggage they pickup. 42:00 - The deeper you relax the body, the greater the impact of the meditation will be. 42:30 - How this meditation can become as real as a lucid dream. 48:30 - “If I were only going to teach someone ONE technique. It would be The Burning Meditation.”

In this conversation we discuss the practice of conscious relaxation. This is a cornerstone for all meditation, energy work, and spiritual practice, and it is paramount in developing the ability to see energy.

Timestamped Notes

00:15 - Conscious relaxation is a cornerstone of being able to do any effective energy work including seeing energy.

00:30 - Force negates the effect you're going to have with these practices

1:20 - Are we seeing energy with our physical eyes? No, but when you see energy it appears as though it is happening with your eyes and you see just as real as if the energy is being physically perceived. It's an important point because we need to understand that seeing is not about making your eyes better... it has nothing to do with them as the physical organ. It's a very important point because it helps us to not "force" seeing with our eyes, but RELAX into seeing... into a different perceptual state.

4:30 - The importance of being able to sustain the "state" of seeing... and why relaxation is necessary for that. 

5:45 - Relaxation is like going into 'neutral' in to get to another gear in a standard shift car. Think of the different gears, as different perceptual states... neutral is conscious relaxation.

6:45 - Being able to relax consciously and intentionally to the degree we are talking about takes time and practice. 

7:15 - On the highest level, you'll be able to do it in a breath, but in the beginning it will take an hour, or 40 minutes just to get where we are talking about. Then we practice practice practice to make it quicker and quicker.... over time.

9:00 - Force vs. Power, and Dustin's personal experience with relaxation.

10:20 - When you are doing your practices, you'll find that when you get stalled in a certain place, or it isn't quite working or flowing... 90% of the time if you relax deeper things will open up.

12:00 - We are all unique fingerprints, so we're teaching the principles. And that will allow you to make the practice your own. Another area of tension for people can be trying to make their experience like what they think it's supposed to be, or like someone else's. 

14:00 - Thoughts on being hard on yourself and knowing when you're doing enough and when you're not. Putting more pressure on yourself only makes you more tense. 

16:15 - Go into the practices expecting to get something or experience something great. Make sure to incorporate a sense of adventure and enjoyment. 

18:30 - All of the techniques not only help you to see and move you in the direction of your goal, but they also prepare you for the reality of seeing energy.

23:00 - Tension is holding your third eye closed. Deep and profound conscious relaxation is going to open it.

23:30 - It's the opposite of what most people think.

24:00 - Tension vs. Relaxation like the opening of a flower. Analogous to the opening of the third eye. How to use that imagery as a way to enhance the practice.

26:00 - How all descriptions of space and distance, and over-there, and astral etc. are all contrivances of language. It's all right here, right now.

30:00 - The importance of stating what you are there to do before you do it when you meditate. "I am here now to do THIS." or stated as a question: "What do I need to do within this exercise to bring me to this goal that I am trying to achieve" ... and then follow the queues. 

36:00 - Relaxation is the key to power, because it will produce laser-like focus.

The Throat Chakra is actually the master key to stimulating and enhancing the other chakras. But we have to ‘cut’ the key first, before we can use it to open other aspects of our energy body.

Throughout this program we are working on the ability to see energy. The obvious energy center associated with seeing is the third eye, but how do we ‘turn it on?’

It may seem counterintuitive but the throat center is our primary chakra for consciously re-directing the flow of energy within our system as well as making connections with energies outside of us.

In this segment of the program we introduce a simple technique that helps to stimulate and tone the throat chakra so we can utilize it, in this case, for opening the third eye.

Timestamped Notes

1:00 - An introduction to a technique that is going to be important for seeing as well as other aspects of energy work that we are going to do later on.

1:50 - "Do it badly!" ... don't try to make it the perfect sound, just get in there and start doing it.

3:30 - How to perform "Wind Breathing"

4:00 - Brian's usual body position or "asana" for practice, and options and details for choosing your own.

4:30 - Introducing the idea of 'hanging' on a chord as a way of finding the perfect position for your back, and how to find the "sweet spot" for meditation.

6:30 - We learn by association and why not to meditate in bed.

7:30 - With this technique we aren't concerned with "visualization" as such, but only with the placement of our awareness in the throat.

8:00 - How the throat is the "Key" to being able to open, stimulate, and coordinate the other chakras and bring them online.

8:45 - Why Brian used to call this "Darth Vader" breathing

9:45 - How the sound we make with this technique sounds much like the wind blowing through the trees in the forest.

10:45 - The sound should be generated in the throat... not the mouth. And to do this we need to relax the jaw and keep the mouth open slightly.

12:00 - Brian demonstrates wind breathing.

13:00 - Can also be called "Friction" breathing.

14:00 - This will have a profound effect on opening the third eye (and the other chakras as well). It's really important.

14:45 - Do it 1 minute, 10 times a day (as an example)... but simply, don't wait for a time to sit and do it for 20 minutes... just start doing it throughout the day.

15:30 - You may get other sensations with this. Simply take notes.

16:00 - Some notes and recommendations if you get any dryness or discomfort in the throat.

17:45 - "Will this have any effect on my thyroid?"

19:45 - This technique will be built and layered in over time in the course. Don't worry too much about how it's going to work to open the third eye... but just do the practice, have your experience, and we'll navigate through it together through the course.

The Core Principle of Seeing Energy: We can only perceive those things that we have energetically matched in frequency. Perception is a consequence of frequency, and frequency is a consequence of where and how we direct our attention.

Timestamped notes

0:00 - To see energy you have to become more energetic.

1:45 - The importance of articulating clearly what you want (as discussed in part 5).

4:30 - On seeing things out of the corner of your eye.

5:30 - Like speaks to like.

7:30 - If you want energy to be "brighter" and more visible you need to make yourself "brighter" first.

9:00 - Where the mind goes, the chi flows.

10:00 - As I place my awareness on something and my energy flows to it, energy from that thing, also flows to me.

12:30 - We become what we think about most of the time. 

14:30 - Whatever I put my attention on I increase my sensory experience of.

15:30 - The consequence of not being able to focus throughout our day. We dissipate our finite pie of energy on too many things. This keep us from making noticeable progress in any one direction.

16:30 - Every piece of energy work is a commitment to narrowing our focus, to make a deeper connection with ONE thing. 

17:00 - The analogy of a new love relationship. Attention is a something that you PAY. It is always sacrificed from somewhere else to be payed to something of your choosing.

18:00 - If energy was a "person" what type of relationship do you want to have with it? How much attention are you willing to pay toward it?

19:00 - The consequences of approaching the goal of seeing energy and forcing it into your own preconceived ideas about what it is supposed to be like.

21:00 - The ultimately subjective nature of perception.

24:00 - The subconscious as the production factory of all experience, it neutrally assess what you think about most of the time to determine what to create for you. 

25:30 - "You are what you think about most of the time." - If you think about problems most of the time, you'll get more problems. If you think about "good stuff" most of the time you'll get more. Provided that you are also acting in that direction. Thoughts, words, and deeds.

27:30 - When we contemplate things and imagine what they would be like, we add energy to our goal.

28:30 - The importance of sitting up with your back straight, allowing your energy to spin faster. 

30:00 - How do we engage with the energetic throughout the day? The value of remembering our peak experiences.

36:00 - You are attempting to MODIFY the way that your most important sensory apparatus experiences and interprets the world for you. 

36:30 - Right now we focus exclusively on the physical because that is what keeps us alive.

37:00 - We are trying to convince ourselves that there is value in taking our attention away from what is keeping us alive (our physical view of the world) and shifting it onto something for which we have no context for its functional benefit to us in surviving and living well in daily life.

39:00 - Shifting your perception to the space around people.

42:30 - Having patience with yourself. Seeing energy is something that will happen over time, by degrees.

45:00 - Talent vs. Training.

47:00 - Brian's history with seeing energy.

50:00 - The value of imbibing and making this a part of your every day life.

51:00 - Every moment is an opportunity to add energy to the process, to pay attention to the the practices, to add energy to the quickness and flow of our own energy, and increase our sensory experience of the energetic.

In this video we discuss the value of identifying clearly what you want, and a process of self-analysis that will help you uncover your true motivation for (in this case) wanting to see energy. This writing exercises is one of the first and most important practices we emphasize in all of our courses, as it allows you to know yourself on a deeper level, and become more aligned internally. We also discuss the practice of "Erasing Personal History" and a simple way to begin implementing this process into your life.

Minute by minute notes on this video below:

1:45 - On sitting down to actually write out: "What do you want, and Why do you want it?"... and the difference between this analysis process and contemplation. 

3:00 - On the purpose of doing this exercise from a practical perspective and communicating your desire clearly to the subconscious.

6:00 - On the "why" being so important to know, because the motivation is the only thing that will drive you to make the necessary sacrifices and commitment to the goal, to make it happen.

8:30 - On the idea of sacrifice as it pertains to energetic work, just like anything else.

12:30 - Introducing the idea of "erasing personal history" and what that looks like in practical application.

16:30 - This is about making your energy more mobile and flexible throughout the day.

20:30 - The fears that we have around changing up our patterns and habitual modes of behavior.

21:00 - In doing this, we free up energy within us that then "Looks" for a place in your life to express or manifest or express itself some how. By breaking and loosening these patterns... we actually make MORE of our energy available to us.

22:30 - Getting clear about WHY we do the "Why do you want it?" part of the exercise on a deeper level.

27:00 - A great analogy of "coloring outside the lines" ... and the fact that ANYTHING you do that is different is going to be met with some kind of resistance.

28:30 - If you don't consciously create a new pattern, someone else will create one for you.

30:00 - On the idea of "energetic recycling" and reclaiming quotients of energy through out the day. This combined with the enhanced focus of knowing what you want and why... is a recipe for having focus, and enough energy to get to the goal.

33:00 - On the fact that most of us have FULL lives from when we get up to when we go to sleep... and that, combined with all the distractions and places where we waste time... how do are we supposed to create anything new?

33:30 - What does "POWER" actually mean? And how do we practically acquire it?

34:30 - And how does "Brushing your teeth with your opposite hand" have ANYTHING to do with POWER?

42:30 - The details of the writing exercise of asking yourself what do you want, and why do you want it?

47:30 - A lot of the "Why" is about knowing yourself.

49:30 - How this dovetails with the idea of Non-Judgement. I can't be nonjudgmental with other people if I haven't done that for myself first.

50:00 - People can resist doing this exercise because it can "unearth" parts of them that they haven't really engaged with before. 

54:00 - The practicality of this exercise as a way of dissipating "internal conflicts"

55:00 - It's our incongruencies that produce most of our "energy leaks." These techniques are how we plug up those holds and brings things into alignment. 

1:04:30 - Some examples of ways to begin erasing personal history in small ways through the day.
