Five stages of energy practice - GRESE

This exercise is part of Divine Body Practice

By John Eagles, July 22, 2012.

Here follows an analysis of and guide for working with energy. When we wish to connect to good energy, or we need to use energy in a practice or exercise, we follow principled stages of how we connect to this energy, how we store it and how we can use it.

G: God, or the empty mind

An empty mind doesn't really exist because our mind could never exist in a vacuum. However, when we work with energy, we need to concentrate. And when we attempt to concentrate, we soon notice that our mind is occupied by thoughts and distractions. The first stage of any practice with energy is to empty the mind. Our environment will try to impress thoughts on us. When we walk over a road, we see a house and the house makes us think of the people and before we know it, our mind has wandered far away from the focus of our exercise. What we did before we started the practice will try to fill our mind once again, and all these thoughts are distracting energies that make it difficult to concentrate.

Therefore, we always need to empty the mind as the beginning of each exercise with energy. We can close ourselves off from what is around us but we cannot really separate ourselves from our source. All human beings have a relationship to God. Therefore emptying the mind is done best by thinking of God only.

R: Relate, or connect to an energy

Whatever exercise we do, whatever energy we wish to connect to, we must establish a connection to that energy. We can only relate to something outside that also is already inside of us. When we wish to work with a particular energy, that energy has a source in the cosmos around us. For example, we could choose to work with Creation Energy, the energy that comes directly from God and is the beginning of all life that God created. This energy is inside of us, and it is in all living creatures around us. This energy can be recognized as being distinct from other energies.

This energy has also a source. That source, by many, is seen as somewhere in 'Heaven,' or everywhere in Heaven. More originally, this energy comes from central black holes.

To receive more from this particular energy, or another specific energy, we preferably focus on a good source of this energy. This energy will come into us when we can recognize the specific energy inside ourselves, in the world around us, and in a source. By connecting, we relate. By making a relationship, this energy comes into us.

E: Earth, or connect to a ground

All energies flow between poles. They flow from a point with a higher potential energy to a point with a lower potential energy. When we wish to let, for example, Creation energy come into us, it can flow when in our body is a point with a lower potential energy of this type. The basic point with lowest potential energy, for us, is the Earth. We already have Earth energy in us, but to maximize the effect of any energy exercise, it is important to ground ourselves to the Earth, to make an energetic connection to the Earth. In other exercises is described how this can be done.

S: Storing, or assembling the energy inside of us

We store energy inside chakras. I also call them 'Switchwheels.'

Switchwheels can be of various kinds and exist in many locations inside our bodies. Our entire body is also a switchwheel. Our hands can function as switchwheels, so can our feet. All our body organs can function as switchwheels or chakras.

For this exercise, we use the central body switchwheel, which is located in the center of gravity of the body, somewhere behind and close to the belly button. Here is an energy center and reservoir that is often used by martial artists. In the world of martial artists and energy healers, all the energies that are stored in this chakra, and other ones, are called 'chi.' When the word 'chi' is used, no specification is made of what type of energy this chi is. Chi stands for a collection of all energies that can be stored and used by the human self.

For this exercise we use this central chakra as the location of storage of Creation energy, but we could use another energy and other chakras.

How do we fill the chakra with energy? It is by establishing a flow from Creation energy, or another energy, into the chakra, and then to the Earth. The flow will occur only when we have made a relationship to the positive energy, for example Creation energy, and also to the ground energy, Earth energy.

Storing an energy is similar to filling a battery by connecting it to a battery charger that is plugged in to a source of electricity, or energy. In our case, the battery charger is an act of the mind. By determining that we wish to have a chakra filled with a particular energy, this can happen when there is a good connection to the source energy (Creation energy, for example) and to the ground energy (Earth).

You will notice that when the charging of the chakra is done successfully, a field is generated, similar to a magnetic field around an electrical current. You can feel this field and the strength and extension of this field is a measure for how well you are charging the chakra with the intended energy.

E: Expressing, or using the energy

Depending on what source energy we have attracted and stored, we can now use this energy in some kind of application. For example, Creation energy can be used for walking or making movements. It can also be used in healing practices, to rejuvenate and strengthen the energy system of a person.

For good use, the energy has to flow. Think of a continuous flow of the source energy into the chakra, charging the chakra because it is grounded to the Earth, and then this flow is passed on into some kind of beneficial use.

When you do this in the right way, your walking will feel like flying and because of the continuous energy input, you feel like you want to run harder and harder. This experience comes when you have performed well all the five stages of GRESE.

It is also possible to use this flow of energy as a carrier and motor for sending yet other types of energy, similar for example to the way that electrical energy can be used to send sounds through a telephone line.
