Our Intentionality and the Hara Dimension

Everything we do rests on the foundation of our intentionality in the moment we do it. For example, we can say any particular set of words has a normal meaning, but the way we deliver that set of words can change their meaning drastically. We fill our words with the energy of our feelings, and how we deliver those words conveys just what we really intend. We can say “I love you” with love, with disgust, with pleading, with a falsity of tone that really means “I hate you.”

How we deliver the words conveys our intention in the moment we deliver them. When we say “I love you” with love, that is exactly what we mean. On the other hand, when we say “I love you” with disgust, we are intending to let our disgust be known without directly saying so. When we say “I love you” with pleading, our intention is not to convey love but to get something through the act of pleading. When we say “I love you” with falsity, we may be intending to convey that we don’t love the person. Or we may have any number of different intentions.

In each of these instances, even though the words are the same, the energy that carries and delivers them is different and looks different in the auric field. What has changed is the intention under the words. It is our intentionality that creates the energy in the auric field that then conveys the actual message. The result is that we have accomplished what we intended—we have delivered the message.

I have already made reference to intentionality (in Chapter 12) when discussing reasons why not. Our reasons why not do not get us the results that we want, because our reasons why not are based on a different intentionality. They are based not on the intention to complete our original purpose but on the intention to make excuses for why we did not accomplish what we intended. Our reasons why not covered our original purpose by pretending to be in alignment with it. But they are really based on a totally different purpose. Thus we have mixed intentions when we allow reasons why not.

In Chapter 13, on creating healthy contracts in relationships, we saw that we confuse our purposes a great deal in relationships. We saw that sorting out our intentions in relationships can be very powerful and transforming work.

The lecture on world peace healing that Heyoan gave (in Chapter 13) shows how our individual wants or desires stem from different purposes. Some of our wants or desires serve the purpose of assuaging fear; some of our wants or desires come from our deeper spiritual longing or higher desires. When our purpose is also to assuage fear, we have mixed intentions or are at cross-purposes with ourselves. This interferes with the natural process of creativity in our fives, and we can’t create what we want. Anywhere in our fives—including health and healing—where we have trouble creating what we want, is where we have mixed intentions or crossed purposes. To create what we want, then, it is essential to be able to find what our mixed intentions are and sort them out. We must clarify our true intentions so we can realign the ones that are not in keeping with what we truly want. What we truly want is always aligned with our highest spiritual long-lings. When our personal wants and desires are aligned with our spiritual longing or higher desires, our purposes are aligned and the creative principle in the universe can function unhindered. By fulfilling our spiritual desires, we are led step by step to fulfill our life’s greater spiritual purpose, our life task.

After working with and observing the auric field for many years, I could see that a change in intentionality completely changes the balance of energy in the auric field as well as the type of energy that is released in the bioplasmic streamers. Chapter 15 shows many examples of interactions of the typical energetic defense systems we use related to what our underlying intentionality is. I could see these tremendous changes in the field, but I could not find any particular aspect in the field that corresponded to intentionality per se.

I wondered if intentionality could be worked on directly by a healer with laying on of hands. Why and how does it have so much power to change the auric field so drastically? How does our intentionality function? What role does it play, from the perspective of HSP and the aura, in our health and healing? I wondered if our intentionality is held in the auric field or somewhere else. Could it be that a whole deeper world beneath the auric field exists on a deeper dimension, just as the auric field exists on a dimension deeper than the physical body?

To get the answers to my questions, I needed a bit of a push. I got it from my students. With that small push, I found where our intentionality exists and why it has so much power to change the auric field. Heyoan also taught me how to work directly in the hara dimension with our intentionality for health and healing and our daily lives.

My entry into the realms of reality beneath the auric field began in 1987, when a student asked me to channel about the hara. I felt rather embarrassed, since I knew very little about the hara, having never studied martial arts myself.

I had read a little from the well-known philosopher and psychotherapist Karlfried Durkheim in his book, Hara. He had learned about the hara in his travels to the East. Hara is the term Japanese use when referring to the lower belly. Hara refers not only to the location of the lower belly but to a quality of having strength, energy, and focused power in that area. It is a center of spiritual power. For centuries the warriors of the East have developed martial arts, centering on disciplines to focus and build up power in the hara as a source from which to draw in combat. Within the hara region of the lower abdomen is a central point called the tan tien. It is traditionally referred to as the center of gravity in the body. The tan tien is the focal point of power in the hara. In the martial arts, it is the center from which all movement originates.

In addition to the little reading I had done on the hara, I also had the opportunity to use HSP to observe the tan tien inside the body. I noticed that in most Americans the tan tien was very dim and undercharged. However, in people who had practiced martial arts for some time, this place was a very bright ball of gold light. In fact, some of them had a very strong gold line of light running through their bodies from head to toe.

After many requests for channeling, I finally surrendered to the moment, and a new adventure began. I would like to share that adventure with you in this section. You will find it very important to your personal healing plan because it puts healing where it ought to be. It brings healing into the powerful act of evolutionary creativity. Here is what Heyoan said in the channeling on the hara:

The hara exists on a dimension deeper than the auric field. It exists on the level of intentionality. It is an area of power within the physical body that contains the tan tien. It is the one note with which you have drawn up your physical body from your mother the earth. It is this one note that holds your body in physical manifestation. Without the one note, you would not have a body. When you change this one note, your entire body will change. Your body is a gelatinous form held together by this one note. This note is the sound the center of the earth makes.

Well, that was enough to send me reeling. When I recovered from my normal reaction of, “Oh no, now what have I said?” I began searching for ways to apply the new information. If indeed this one note held our bodies in physical manifestation, then working directly with that note would be extremely powerful. The idea that our bodies are gelatinous is a very nice concept when we are trying to change something we think will take years to change. So the use of the idea of a gelatinous body in healing visualizations came in very handy.

In later channelings, Heyoan explained that our haric level, where our intentionality is found, is the foundation upon which the auric field is formed. To understand this more fully, let us review once again the relationship between the dimensions of the physical world and the worlds of the auric field.

The physical world exists in three dimensions. It behaves according to physical laws. Our physical body is related to our personality, but its reactions to what we do minute to minute in our psyche usually take a long time, sometimes decades.

There is a big difference between the physical world that we can see with our eyes and the world of the auric field that we can see with HSP. In order to move our conscious awareness from the physical world to the auric field, we must make a quantum leap into a deeper dimension, into what I believe is the fourth dimension. I think the auric field exists in four dimensions. It behaves according to the physics of bioplasma and light. On the auric level, time is much different from the way it is in the physical. We can be in the present time, or we can move along what many people are now calling a time line and enter past life experiences as if they were happening now.

The auric field exists on a dimension deeper into our personality than the physical body. It corresponds on a second-to-second basis with what is going on in our personality. This auric field correspondence is specific and immediate. Every thought, feeling, or other type of life experience shows immediately in the auric field as energy-consciousness movement in form and color.

Energy and consciousness are experienced differently in the auric dimension from the way they are in the physical. On the physical level they appear to be two different things. On the auric level, energy and consciousness cannot be separated. The human experience of this energy-consciousness depends on its frequency or vibrational level. We can move our consciousness from one level of the auric field to another. We thereby experience different aspects of human consciousness, as was described in Chapter 2. Even though we are moving from one level of energy-consciousness and human experience to another within the auric field, we still remain in the fourth dimension.

In order to move from the auric dimension into the hara dimension and our intentionality, we must make another quantum leap. Our intentionality exists on a dimension deeper into our basic nature than the auric field. Whether or not the hara dimension can be equated with the fifth dimension, I really don’t know. It would take quite a bit of research into it to tell, so I hesitate to guess.

Our hara line has a specific, immediate correspondence with our intentionality. Just as the auric field has a specific immediate correspondence to our thoughts and feelings, any change in our intentionality corresponds to a shifting in the position and alignment of our hara line.

Figure 17-1 (in the color insert) shows the aligned hara level when it is in a healthy person. It is composed of three major points connected by a laserlike line which I call the hara line. The hara line originates in a point that is three and a half feet above the head, which I call the individuation point, or ID point. It looks like a very small funnel whose larger end, one-third inch in diameter, points down over the head. It represents our first individuation out of the void, or unmanifest God. Through it, we have our direct connection to the godhead.

The hara line connects down through a point in the upper chest area that I call the soul seat. Sometimes it is called the high heart and confused with a chakra. It is not. The soul seat looks like a source of diffuse light reaching out in all directions. It is usually one to two inches in diameter but can expand to a fifteen-foot diameter in meditation. Here we carry our spiritual longing that leads us through life. Within it we can find everything we long to be, do, or become from the smallest thing or moment in our lives to the grandest scale of life itself.

The hara line continues down into the tan tien in the lower abdomen. The tan tien is located about two and one-half inches below the navel. It is about one and one-half inches in diameter, and it doesn’t change in size. It looks a bit like a hollow rubber ball in that it has a membrane. As Heyoan said, the tone of this note is the one note that holds our physical body in physical manifestation. That note is a harmonic of the sound that the molten core of the earth makes. Healers use this point as a way of connecting to a great deal of healing energy. It connects them to the power source of the earth.

The concept of sound holding shape in the physical world was discussed in Chapter 9. In this case, the one note is more than a simple tone that can be heard with normal auditory perception. Rather, this note also exists in the HSP range. I think it means even more than that, but I don’t know what it is yet. The closest thing to it that I have heard in the normal sound range is the cry that a karate master makes when chopping bricks in half with a light blow.

The hara line continues down from the tan tien deep into the center of the earth’s core. Here we are connected to the earth and to the sound that the center of the earth makes. Once again, sound means more than just sound. Rather, it probably refers to a vibratory life source. By connecting down into the center of the earth through the hara line, we can synchronize our field pulsations with those of the earth’s magnetic field and therefore entrain energy from the earth’s field.

A healthy hara line is located in the center line of the body and is straight, well formed, energized, and well rooted into the earth’s core. Each of the three points along the line are in balance, in form, and firmly connected to each other along the laserlike hara line. People with the configuration shown in Figure 17-1 are healthy, centered in their purpose, and on line with their life tasks. When this alignment is held, it is holographically true both in the moment and for all moments of the person’s life. The person is at once present for the small task at hand and is connected to each larger task that surrounds it, as in the holographic model discussed in Chapter 3. This person is able to do the task of the moment in the moment, when it needs to be done, because she or he knows how it is connected to all time and to the whole task.

When your hara line is aligned, you are synchronized with the whole. When your haric level is healthy, you will feel a lot of personal integrity, power, and personal purpose, because you are synchronized with universal purpose. That’s when you have those wonderful days in which everything flows easily, just as it ought to.

The feeling of being in your hara is a very freeing one. In this position, there is no adversary. Once any two people align their hara lines with universal purpose, they are automatically aligned with each other. Therefore, their purposes are synchronized so that each fits with the other. Their purposes are also holo-graphically connected. Each purpose of each moment connects to all immediate purposes and to all greater long-term purposes.

On the other hand, people who take adversarial positions could not possibly have aligned their hara lines, because in order to do so, they must be aligned with universal purpose, which has no adversaries. Anyone who aligns his or her hara line automatically aligns with others with aligned hara lines.

Therefore, to the extent that you have aligned your hara line, to that exact degree you are on line with your purpose and in positive Intent. To the extent that you are not on line in your haric level, to that exact degree you are in negative Intent. It is as simple as that.

The complicated part is, how do you tell if you are aligned or not? If you do have HSP developed, it is possible to tell by using HSP to look at the haric level to see if everything is well formed, aligned, charged, balanced, and functioning. Another way to tell is that someone who is in alignment will not argue about who is right or wrong. From that person’s perspective, there is no adversary with whom to argue or fight.

If you find yourself arguing, it means that you are not in alignment. Neither is the person with whom you are arguing, if he or she is arguing back. This does not mean that when you are aligned in your hara, you simply say you are right and walk away. Rather, there just simply isn’t anything to argue about or disagree on. Whenever you find yourself in an argument, your first act must be to center in and to align your hara line.

Arguments of right and wrong come from people working at cross-purposes within themselves. That is, part of them is aligned and part is not aligned. This misalignment shows in the hara line. These internal parts are at cross-purposes with each other. If we use the concepts of the higher self, lower self, and mask self mentioned in Chapter 1, we could say that part of the psyche may be functioning from any combination of each of these three aspects. That is usually the case. Very rarely are we totally functioning from our higher selves and, thus, from an aligned hara.

The internal disagreement between these parts of ourselves gets manifested on the outer level in the form of an argument with another person. Our cross-purposes will also be materialized in the outer world as problems in creating or accomplishing something. They may arise in such things as procrastination or sloppy work. They may also arise between two people who are working together on a project in such ways as misunderstanding, confusion, competition, and broken contracts.

For example, if each person’s purpose is to get a project completed in the best way possible, on time and with the best quality, then it will probably happen. But if one employee wishes to take over the boss’s job, the negative intention will change the quality of work, automatically undermining the boss, even if the employee doesn’t try to.

The Haric Level in Health and Healing

In health and healing, the same principle of aligning with your purpose holds true. To the extent that you stay on line with your purpose to maintain or regain your health, to that exact degree you will maintain or regain your health wherever it is humanly possible.

Distortion in the hara line and the points along it depict the tremendous pain of humanity. This is pain that humanity feels but does not understand. Dysfunction, in the haric level, is related to intention and life task. Many people do not even know, let alone understand, that we create our own experience of reality. They do not understand the idea of life purpose or life task. They do not understand the idea that our intentions have a great effect on our lives. They are not aware of the subtle but powerful shift that a change in intention causes in our auric fields and our creative energy flow.

In any serious or long-term illness, a dysfunction in the hara line will be apparent. A trained healer will be able to work on the haric level to heal it. Healing the haric level involves working on the deeper issues of the client’s intention, including purpose at any one given moment, and life task issues. Before giving examples of what this means in practical healing sessions, let us first look at the types of distortions that can occur in the points along the hara line and in the hara line itself.

Dysfunction in the Tan Tien

Dysfunction in the tan tien shows in several ways. It can be displaced. It can be too far forward, backward, or to one side of the body. It can be misshapen. The membrane enclosing the tan tien can be torn, half of it blown open, or even worse. (See Figure 17-2.)

The result of tan den dysfunction is chronic back problems. If the tan tien is too far forward, the lower part of the pelvis will be tipped backward. Such clients are trying to jump ahead of themselves. If the tan den is too far back, the lower pelvis will be tilted forward. Such clients are “holding back” from their life task. Both of these will show in the body as lower back problems.

Since the tan tien carries the one note, or tone, that holds the body in physical manifestation, if the tan tien is torn or blown open, its tone will be way off. In such a case, the body and psyche can be badly shaken. I have seen people with such a condition go into hysterics and not be able to get out of it for several hours. I have seen the body become extremely weak and not be able to recover its strength for years. I have even seen cases where the legs deteriorate.

Figure 17-2 Distortion in the Tan Tien

No matter what such people do for themselves, even physical exercises, nothing will help much until the damaged tan tien is repaired. Therefore work must be directed toward healing the tan tien by repairing it, positioning it correctly along the hara line, connecting it to the earth through the hara line, and charging it. A healer who is advanced enough to do hara healing can do this directly or with long-distance healing.

Healing the tan tien may also occur by doing martial arts with a good teacher. The practice of tai chi is very good for this. It is very important to learn martial arts from a good teacher so that it is done right. Otherwise, the healing effects won’t happen.

After the tan tien is repaired, then physical exercise to maintain alignment is very effective. All physical exercise ought to be done with focused intent to bring conscious awareness into the body.

Dysfunction in the Soul Seat

The soul seat usually becomes disfigured by shrouding. That is, it gets covered by a dark cloud of energy. (See Figure 17-3.) The result of this is that people don’t have the ability to feel what they want now or in the future in life. They have no feeling for what they want to do in their lives. Such people also usually have a sunken chest and display a “give up,” “I don’t care,” or “life is boring and meaningless” stance. They carry a deep sadness.

When a healer begins to clear the cloud of dark energy and enhance the light of the soul seat so that it begins to expand and flow forth, clients usually have one of two reactions. In the first, they may suddenly feel a new lease on life and begin re-creating life according to spiritual longing of which they are now aware. The second is that they may go into mourning for all the lost time in life in which they have not been doing what they wanted to do. After a period of mourning, clients’ lives begin to take on new meaning. New eros is born, and clients find themselves full of great excitement about what they can do with their lives.

Figure 17-3 Shrouded Soul Seat

Many people create a shroud of dark energy around their soul seat after they lose a loved one. This anesthetizes their feeling of loss. But it also stops the natural mourning process. If the couple had great plans with each other that were not fulfilled, many times the person who is left alone in the physical world thinks that continuing with the plans, as they were before the death, is an act of loyalty to the deceased. Unfortunately, since all plans are alive, constantly changing and unfolding, that doesn’t work. Blocking the mourning will not allow the plan to be alive and changing. Refusal to mourn will eventually freeze all the life-force out of the plan. And after some time, no more unfoldment of the work will continue. People will focus on preserving the work, and it will take on a museumlike quality.

The way to heal this is to go through the mourning of the loved one. This will release the plans for unfoldment. It can be done at any time. This allows other people to enter into the plan for new life and companionship. It is never too late for anything. The plan can be accomplished, but in a different way than before, because different tools and people will be there for its accomplishment.

Dysfunction in the ID Point

The funnel-shaped individuation point above the head can get distorted in form or clogged up, as shown in Figure 17-4. This results in a disconnection from the ID point. Disconnection from the ID point also leads to a certain cynicism about life, because there is no understanding, no “knowing of God.” People disconnected from their ID points probably think that people who believe in God have a very Pollyanna view of life and are in fantasy. To such individuals, organized religion is a way to control people because it defines and describes a God that, to them, doesn’t exist. They have had no personal experience of God with which to compare and confirm any descriptions or definitions of God. They may be atheists or agnostics. They will accept M-1 metaphysics, which ignores the question of God’s existence.

Figure 17-4 Blocked ID Point

When the healer clears and reconnects this point, clients will actually begin having childhood memories about being connected to God. They will also begin to develop a new connection to God through their personal experience, rather than accept God according to someone else’s descriptions or rules, as in many organized religions.

Dysfunction in the Hara Line and Its Points

From my perception, the alignment of most of humanity’s hara line is not ideal. I have never met anyone who is able to hold their hara line straight and in alignment all the time. Most people do not hold it in alignment at all. A few can hold it perhaps thirty percent of the time. A very, very few can hold it more than fifty percent of the time. Most martial artists, after years of training, are able to hold the lower portion of the line that connects between the earth and the tan tien. Some can hold the middle part of the hara line from the tan tien to the soul seat. But they do not know about the upper part of it. It takes years of training for anyone to connect to and hold the entire hara line in alignment for any length of time.

Instead, most people are misaligned most of the time and suffer greatly from it. Misalignment in the haric level shows as distortions in the hara line and the three points along it, as well as disconnection between each of the three points and/or the earth. Figure 17-5 shows the most common haric level distortion that many people of our culture have.

It shows that:

As a result of the above-listed distortions, many people in our culture are largely disconnected from the earth, from their fellow creatures, from God, and from their purpose, as well as from themselves. This causes great pain, both on the emotional and on the spiritual levels. They don’t know why they are here, they don’t believe there is a purpose to their lives, and they are very uncomfortable on earth. In short, as the popular saying goes, “Life sucks and then you die.” This too can be healed through hara healing.

Hara lines of people of other cultures are different from those of Americans. People in different cultures distort their hara lines in different ways. People within the same culture distort their hara lines in similar ways. Therefore, people within the same culture suffer in similar ways. People of different cultures suffer from different kinds of pain. I have not had the time or privilege to make enough observations of different cultures around the globe to see this difference, but Heyoan has said that it is the cause of a great many international disputes and that, as we learn to heal the haric level, we will also make peace between the peoples of the earth.

Figure 17-5 Distortion in the Hara Line

Hara Healing

Once healers have determined the state of the haric level, they can work on the haric level for healing. This healing will bring it back to the state of healthy alignment, balance, and charge, as shown in Figure 17-1. It will also put clients squarely back on their life path, and their life will change, usually quite a lot in a very short time. As people return to their true life’s path, all the material world around them that is not in harmony with that life path either changes or drops away. This includes material possessions, jobs, and living location, as well as friends and intimate relationships.

Hara healing is advanced work and requires a lot of training and practice. The healer must be able to straighten and hold his or her hara line, with all three points in the correct position, and be firmly grounded into the earth in order to correct clients’ hara lines. Healers who are off can easily make clients ill, disoriented, and confused. I am not allowed to teach healers hara healing until they are ready. That is, they must be able to hold the hara line for one hour without dropping it. Then, if they do drop it, it must be recovered within less than a minute. This takes years of practice.

A good example of what can happen as a result of hara healing occurred in my work with a professional musician, whom I will call Thomas. Thomas’s auric field was very dark and stagnated with dense, low-vibratory energy. From his field condition, I could tell he had been depressed for years. He was full of resentment and rage, and he had a great deal of masochism. So if I went in to pull it out and clear his field, it wouldn’t have worked because I would have been doing the precise thing that his parents had done to him to cause the problem in the first place. (See the masochistic defense sections in Chapter 15.) On the haric level, his tan tien had been pushed down and to the back of his body and was disconnected from his soul seat. This meant that he was depressing his life task and backing out on it. He was also not connected into the first point of the individuation point above his head.

Knowing that the key to his release was to realign him with his life purpose, I concentrated only on the hara work during the healings. In a series of four or five hara healings, I aligned his hara line and all the points along it. I watched his aura straighten and clear as a result of the hara healings. The clearing of his auric field lifted his depression and allowed his psychological issues to rise to the surface of his consciousness to be worked on. He worked directly on these issues in his therapy sessions.

In an interview with him four years later, he stated:

Before the healings, I had a lot of trouble just living, as far as going into depression. I wanted to just hide a lot of things and not really deal with what was going on at the time. I was depressed a lot. The main reason I came for healing was to claim my own energy. There was a lot of turmoil, a lot of upheaval, and a lot of change after each healing session. I started dealing with a lot of family stuff, mother and father stuff, in my therapy. It was the usual life-parent stuff, a lot of anger. I had a tremendous amount of anger. Soon after that, the breakup of my marriage came. Plus, I was having all these career problems, financial problems, all happening at once.

There was so much struggle and pain and confusion and sadness and all of that, that the conclusion that I came to was that my purpose in being here [on earth] was to resolve all of that. As long as I could keep things simple, if I could just remember that that’s why I’m here now, I was fine.

As a result, I got through it. I lost about twenty pounds. I’ve been in a great relationship for about three years now, and I’m very good friends with my ex-wife and her family. There is nothing more there to be resolved. I’m also going to computer school as a way to learn to make more money. I’m still a professional musician. I still play and I have some students.

The main thing I took from the healings—the most memorable part of it—was feeling more centered in my own energy. So I’m now able to sustain my own energy and do what I feel I need to do for myself. I still would like to teach more music and go into more musical expression. I’d like to express the music that’s inside of me without necessarily labeling it jazz or New Age. I want to tap into something inside of me. That’s my big challenge now.

Aligning with Your Life Purpose

Aligning your haric level will align you with your life purpose. The exercise that follows will help you to align your hara line and heal any distortions in it or in the points along it. It will align you with your greater purpose. I suggest you do it each day in the morning to heal yourself and each time you set about accomplishing something. You will be amazed at the results you get. As you get used to holding the hara alignment, you will use it all the time. With it, you will be able to stay aligned with your greater life task in any small thing that you are doing in the moment. It is very applicable to your task of healing yourself.

An Exercise to Align Your Will with Your Life Purpose

Imagine a sphere of energy inside your body on the midline of your body, located about one and one-half inches below your navel. This point is the center of gravity of the physical body. It is the tan tien. It is the one note that holds your body in physical manifestation. The hara line and the tan tien are usually gold. In this exercise, you will make the tan tien red.

Figure 17-6 Hara Stance

Stand with your feet about three feet apart, and bend your knees deeply, as shown in Figure 17-6. Let your feet splay outward so that you do not twist your knees. Align your spine. Pick up a piece of hair that is directly on the top of your head. Pull it so that you can feel the very center top of your head. Now pretend that you are hanging from this piece of hair. This will align your body on a plumb line with the earth.

Figure 17-7 Fingertips into Tan Tien

Place the tips of the fingers of both hands into the tan tien, as shown in Figure 17-7. Keep your fingers together. Feel the tan tien within your body, and make it hot. Make it red hot. If you connect to it, soon your whole body will be warm. If your body does not get warm, you have not connected to it. Try again. Practice till you succeed. Once you have succeeded, move your awareness to the molten core of the earth.

Figure 17-8 Triangle Down

Place your hands in a triangle position, with fingertips pointed down into the earth directly in front of the tan tien. (See Figure 17-8.) Feel the connection between the earth’s core and your tan tien. Now you will really feel the heat, burning heat, so much that you will start sweating. You may even hear a sound similar to the one martial artists use as a cry when they are about to strike. If your Higher Sense Perception is open, you will be able to see the red color in your tan tien. You will also see a laser line of light connecting the tan tien with the molten core of the earth. I call this the hara laser line. If you don’t see it, imagine it. You don’t have to see it to make it work.

Figure 17-9 Right Fingertips into Tan Tien, Left Hand over Tan Tien, Fingers Down

Now place the fingertips of the right hand into the tan tien, and point the left palm to the right side of your body with the fingers down. Hold the left hand directly in front of the tan tien. (See Figure 17-9.) Hold this configuration until you are stable.

Now bring your awareness to your upper chest area, about three inches below the hollow in your throat and again on the midline of your body. Here is a sphere of diffuse light. This light carries the song of your soul, your unique note that you bring to the universal symphony. It carries the longing that leads you through life to accomplish your soul’s purpose for your life. Place the fingertips of both hands into the soul seat in the upper chest, as you did before in the tan tien.

When you connect to it, it may feel like a balloon is being blown up inside your chest. It may feel very safe and sweet there. Feel that sweet sacred longing as it rests within you. It may remain nameless, but you can still feel it. It looks like the diffuse light around a candle, but it is purple-blue in color. Expand the purple-blue light in your chest.

Next place the fingertips of the right hand into the soul seat and the fingers of the left hand, pointed down to the earth, over the tan tien. The flat open palm of the left hand faces the right side of your body. (See Figure 17-10.) Feel the hara line running directly down from the soul seat through your tan tien and down into the center of the earth. When you can feel this very strongly, then move on to the next step.

Leaving your left hand where it is, raise the fingers of the right hand over your head. Let the middle finger of your right hand point up to the ID point, three and one-half feet above your head. (See Figure 17-11.) Feel the hara line, which extends from the soul seat up through your head to the small upside-down funnel opening of the ID point. This small opening is really a small vortex, its open end facing downward. It is the hardest to feel. Try it. It may take some time. This vortex represents the first point of individuation out of the godhead, or is-ness. It represents the first point of individuation from the oneness of God. When you are able to get the hara line through the ID point, it suddenly disappears into formlessness. When it goes through the funnel, it may make an HSP sound like a cork coming out of a bottle. You will instantly feel the difference, because as soon as you connect it, you will have thousands of times more power. Suddenly everything will get quiet inside, and you will feel like a bridge of power. You have aligned your hara line.

Figure 17-10 Right Fingertips into Soul Seat, Left Hand over Tan Tien, Fingers Down

Wait for several minutes until the hara line is stable. Then lower your right hand, with fingers pointed up and palm to the left side of your body, so that it is over your soul seat. That will be more comfortable for you. Keep the left hand pointed down, palm to the right side of your body, held over the tan tien. (See Figure 17-12.)

Feel the hara line and the three points. Make it straight with your intention. Intend for it to be straight, bright, and strong. Keep your intention until you feel it get straight, bright, and strong. Straighten your body again so that it is as if you were hanging from a hair on the middle top of your head. Tuck your buttocks under a bit, and deeply bend your knees, keeping your feet three feet apart and splayed out a bit to protect your knees. As you bend your knees, they should come down directly over your feet. Check to see, feel, and hear if the points are strong, firm, and charged. If there is weakness in any area, note which area it is. This is an area that needs healing work. Concentrate on it longer. Align the hara line and enhance the points as best you can.

When you have aligned your first point of individuation from the godhead with your soul’s sacred longing and with the one note with which you have drawn your body up from your mother the earth, you have aligned yourself with your life purpose. You may not even know what it is, but you are aligned with it, and your actions will automatically be synchronistic with it as long as you remain aligned.

The Group Hara Line

This technique can also be used with groups to set the purpose of the group. Here is how it works. The true individual purpose of any member of a group is holographically connected to the purpose of the group as a whole. Once all have aligned their haras, all have aligned their purpose in the moment with their greater purpose as individuals and as a group. Everyone’s greater purpose is part of the great evolutionary plan of the earth, which was first mentioned in Chapter 13. This puts everyone into synchronicity, and the group becomes synchronistic. And as was said before, within this framework of reality no adversarial position is possible. The synchronicity can be felt in the room. The room fills with the power of the task at hand. Everyone has a part to do. The purpose of each part is connected to the purpose of the whole. It is surprising how well groups function when they are able to begin by aligning each individual will within the group. When this is accomplished, the group’s will emerges.

Hara alignment can be used for any group. You can use it with your healing team, your research group, political group, or business group to set the purpose of the team. This model holds true everywhere, especially at the negotiating table between businesses, because it is based on unity rather than duality. If all align their haras and are connected to the universal purpose, there will be no win-lose situation. The transactions will be smoother.

I once gave a thirty-minute lecture to the Win-Win breakfast club in Denver on this subject. This organization is a group of heads of businesses and corporations dedicated to the win-win style of business, rather than the win-over-the-adversary style. It took them only a few minutes to change the energy in the room to a synchronized group purpose when I showed them how to align the hara. They learned it faster than any group I have ever had the privilege of teaching.

I recommend using this as a beginning meditation every time you work with a group. If disagreements arise, it means your alignment has gone off. I recommend repeating the meditation for realignment.

On the other hand, the presence of a leader whose hara is held in alignment will help all others around him or her to synchronize with their own purpose. I use this regularly in preparing first myself, then the team of teachers with whom I work, and later the larger team of apprentices with whom I work in my training programs. I call it setting the group hara line. To set a group hara line, the first step is very important. The leader must first set her or his hara. This means personally going through the hara setting meditation just given.

I, as leader, do this alone, before my first meeting with the teaching team. Then when the teaching team first meets, we go through the whole meditation as a group. This synchronizes the purpose of each individual within the teaching team with the purpose of the team. Later, when the teaching team meets with the apprentice team that supports the teaching team, we once again use the meditation to set the purpose of that greater team.

The next day, early in the morning before class starts, this alignment is done again with everyone in the room. This aligned energy is then expanded throughout the room before the students enter the room. After the students are all settled into their seats, I once again lead the meditation to help them also set their hara lines. This process helps us regulate the tremendous amounts of energy released during the training class weeks.

The power, strength, and purpose that builds in the room can be felt as the group hara line takes shape. It is a beautiful thing to watch. Each line within each person connects to the earth, aligns, and gets brighter. As each does, it helps those who haven’t been able to align to do so because of the power in the room. Then when the whole room becomes synchronized, a large group hara line, representing the group purpose, forms in the center of the room. (See Figure 17-13.)

In this way, we stay on purpose throughout the class. If we get unsynchronized, we simply repeat the alignment process. Aligning the group hara is one of the best results of holographic modeling I have seen. It is a very practical example of maintaining individuality and individual purpose while remaining connected to the larger groups that surround the individual. In this way, the individual connects to the love, support, power, and knowledge within the larger group. I believe this is why we get so much accomplished in our classes and learning and change comes so fast for students.

Aligning a Group of People with Its Purpose

To do this in a group, sit or stand in a circle and align your individual hara lines according to the instructions given in the hara alignment exercise. Be sure that everyone does this together, moving from one position to the next at the same time.

Figure 17-13 Group Hara Line

With each step, give time for each person to get aligned. You will feel the energy of the group shifting as this is done. It is very much like an orchestra tuning up. After some time, you will sense or feel, see or hear, the energies of the group stabilize. If you continue to sit in meditation, you will sense the hara line of the group form in the center of the circle. It is very similar to the laser line through your body. It represents the group purpose. It is a beautiful golden line of light, with the same three points described above. There will also be connections like the spokes of a wheel, from the tan tien of the group hara line to the tan tien in each body. (See Figure 17-13.)

Feel how strong and stable the energy in the room is. Now you can go about your work as a group without hassles.

Reincarnation in the Same Lifetime and the Transformation of the Hara Line

In Hands of Light, I spoke about the phenomenon of reincarnation in the same lifetime that occurs when someone finishes his or her life task and moves into another life task without leaving the body. I described a cocoon that forms in the auric field around the vertical power current at the spine. Since then, I have observed that within the cocoon, on the haric level, the hara line dissolves and reestablishes itself, thus establishing a new life task for the new incarnation without requiring starting all over with a new body. The process of dissolving the old hara line and reestablishing a new one usually takes about two years.

Since the points along the hara line also change when the hara line changes, the reincarnation in the same lifetime is usually accompanied by some physical problems. When the tan tien wobbles and dissolves, the physical body may go into chaos. The physical symptoms may be many, but none may be diagnosable. Or in other cases, you may have a life-threatening illness, a near-death experience, or a physical death-back-to-life experience.

Reincarnation in the same lifetime is very confusing for anyone to go through because you lose your sense of self, all the things with which you identified yourself, and your purpose. It sometimes appears that you are going to die. It is a time of deep personal change. It is a time of not knowing, a time of contemplation and waiting, sometimes in a black velvet void that is teeming with unmanifested life. It is a time of surrender to the greater powers that are at work within you.

Later, during this time, new energies from your core star begin upwelling into the haric level to create a new hara line that corresponds with the new task you have taken on. Of course, the new task will be related to the old one in the same way that past lifetimes are related to each other and the present lifetime. Reincarnation in the same lifetime is becoming more and more widespread as the number of people on paths of spiritual awareness grows.

During the two years that it takes to undergo reincarnation in the same body, everything in the life changes. This includes major shifts in profession, intimate partner, living location, friends, and finances. After the two-year period, usually life is very different. Reincarnation in the same body can happen more than once in a lifetime. But to my knowledge, that is extremely unusual.

Here is a good example of how a person’s life changed as a result of the process of reincarnation in the same lifetime. I shall call her Rachel. Rachel was a brilliant corporate executive, running the human resources division of a large financial organization. She originally came to me for healing of chronic edema, which she had had for eighteen months.

After three healings spaced a couple of weeks apart, Heyoan said that she didn’t need any more healings. It took a couple of months for the edema to clear, and it never came back.

During the healings, Heyoan didn’t talk about her physical condition at all. Instead, he talked about the tapestry of Rachel’s life, about weaving the golden threads of her life together. Rachel then began studying at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and after several years, she began helping me run programs. It was during one of those programs that I noticed that her tan tien was shifting and that she was going into the two-year process of reincarnation in the same lifetime. Here is how she describes her experience:

I had no idea what was going on. On my thirty-eighth birthday in February I cut off my long hair. I had had it all my life. But I felt that I had to absolutely change something in myself. A few days after that, I went to San Francisco to meet you for the introductory workshop. I walked into a hotel room, and you took one look at me and said, “Oh look, your tan tien is wobbling all over the place!”

I had no idea what that meant. You said, “That’s what happens when you reincarnate in the same body. Your hara line disintegrates!” This freaked me out, because I had no idea of what it meant. Then you looked to see if there was a cocoon around my vertical power current. There was a cocoon. You drew a picture of it.

Then six months later, after the cocoon had started to dissolve, there was a section of the vertical power current in which the change had been arrested. You said that I had stopped the process. Later, when my back went out, you said that one of the reasons I was having so much trouble healing was that my tan tien was still wobbling, because the reincarnation process was still going on. I had been in perfect health all my life before that, so it was very difficult for me.

After the reincarnation process started, I also went through a bunch of past lives. I had never experienced them on a personal level before. I also had at least eight or nine experiences that I would call a dimension of time lapse, in which two times were overlaid. I could feel or experience another level totally outside of what was happening in the present. One of them, I remember, happened when I was sitting on the stage during class, looking at the students. I looked up at the balcony, and I knew it was empty. I knew it was 1989. But at the same time, I also had a vivid experience that the balcony was filled with a screaming crowd of people, and they were yelling for judgment. It was a whole trial scene. Those experiences began after this reincarnation-in-the-same-body process began.

Then about two years after it all began, you came up to me when you were doing channeled healings and said it was over.

Some of the external, obvious things resulted from this. One, I couldn’t stay in my job anymore. I had to spend a lot more time learning about spiritual life, and that’s when I quit my job and worked for the school. I had wanted to leave for a long time, but I had a lot of fear about security in terms of money and what safety really was. After the reincarnation process began, it became impossible to stay in that job, no matter how great my fears were. The impetus behind the change literally propelled me to move into a part of my life where I would feel better about myself, even though I didn’t know what that meant, because I didn’t. I just knew I had to stop feeling that every day when I woke up I couldn’t bear going to work.

The reincarnation experience gave me a feeling that change is good rather than scary. Change became something very exciting, like looking forward to something. It felt very different.

I was the most incredibly healthy person before the reincarnation started. After it started, I hurt my back. That was the first major disease I ever had. It was almost exactly a year after the reincarnation started. Now my back is a thousand percent better than it was a year ago. Now I have only functional back pain. I had no other physiological effects.

The major difference I see in myself from that period is the big change in my relationship to myself. Once I went into the past life experiences, my relationship to myself got a lot deeper. I had a greater awareness of how I wasn’t aware of myself. My biggest change is that I really notice now the part I play in everything. I really am much more aware of how I am at least fifty percent responsible for everything that happens. I have much less blame in terms of “it’s me or them.” I have much more awareness of the habitual pattern in my life that causes me to act the way I do through my defense system. My self-awareness went from nil to extreme. I’m very very aware now of my reaction. I’m much more aware of the role I play in my life in all my situations than I was before. Instead of my life being something that happens to me, I feel much more like I am a creator or co-creator. So any experience I have, I immediately find my part in it. This includes relationships—everything.

I notice my part in things, my role, my responsibility. If I’m having a fight with somebody, now I see what part of it is my fault. I see how everything is shared with all of us; everything is communal. And that feels real different. Take my family: Instead of just interacting with them, I have a second vision where I also notice, even if I’m talking with my mother while cooking or whatever, exactly what I’m doing that affects her and how it affects her in a certain way. And then she has a reaction to me and it comes back to me like a ping-pong ball, and I’ll have a reaction, and so on.

So since this reincarnation in the same body, I notice that there’s always this interaction stuff going on, and I actually can see my part in the play superimposed over my life. For example, my whole Christmas holiday was wonderful because I was completely aware of the energetic interactions I had that were absolutely habitual with my family. It was fascinating to watch. If I just stopped the energy, just stopped that interaction and replaced it with something else, everything changed.

I think that what is left of my back pain is connected to everything I just said about being responsible for my interactions. I think that it has to do with focus outward instead of inward, and the more I learn to focus inward, the more my back heals. And the more I look outward, for acceptance or whatever, the more I get myself in trouble. My back still has to do with holding back my spontaneous emotional reactions or responses. I know that I still hold back a lot of gut reactions, a lot of feelings. I doubt and question myself a lot, and I think that’s when my back hurts the most. I don’t always notice it right away, but I’m beginning to be aware of that. So my back doesn’t hurt very much when I’m happy.

Introduction to Surrender, Death, and Transfiguration

The experience of reincarnation in the same lifetime requires a letting go and dying of the old, to allow space and time for rebirth. Here is a wonderful meditation given by Heyoan to facilitate the letting go of whatever it is in you that needs to dissolve. I suggest that you play music in the background. You can do this either alone, or in a group. It is designed to facilitate great change in your life.

 
 SURRENDER, DEATH, AND TRANSFIGURATION
 Channeled from Heyoan

Feel the power of your divine grace. The power of the light has brought you here. It is through grace that you will experience this healing. This period of time in your life may be a very difficult one for you, but certainly a time filled with growth, a time filled with love, a time filled with brotherhood. It is:

It is your time. You have created it for yourself, and so, it is you who will be in it according to your choice.

Dear ones, how do you wish to spend this time? It is your time. It is your time to follow your soul’s sacred longing.

The laboring of birth comes after the time of darkness. Within the darkness the womb grows full. Magic is accomplished. Life sprouts from the earth. You are being reborn to a fullness in new form, in new life. With you, new generation arises and blesses the face of this earth. Peace will come. Peace will reign.

Feel a star of light in the center of your body that represents your individual essence. We are all born into the light. You are of the light, you are the light, and the light will reign on this earth for a thousand years; all humankind will be one.

Allow the magic to enfold both you and the un-understandable. Simply be within the womb of regeneration. Allow that which needs to die to dissolve into the magic—fodder for the fields.

Place it now into the earth with love and sweet surrender and farewells, sweet farewells. Let it go with blessings of sweet remembrances, of that which has served you in the past and no longer serves you now. Place it deep within the womb of your mother the earth. As a seed. Let it roll off your body. Let it flow out of your consciousness. Let it dissolve out of your thought forms and flow down deep into the earth for a time of forgetting.

Then come to the star of light within you, deep in your belly. Deep within your body, about one and one-half inches above your navel, is the beautiful star of your unique essence. Simply be here now. That which was let go will be transmuted while you simply be here now.

That which dies of form is immediately reborn into the formless life of the void. What is death to form is birth to the teeming, formless life of the void.

Within the natural cycle, spring will touch that which dissolves. That which is forgotten will, in spring cycle, arise like a phoenix in your re-remembering of a different sort.

As life within the formless void surrenders to its death, form is reborn.
