Subject: some passes from Santa Barbara
Great workshop in Santa Barbara. A lot of new energy. I'll post some of the passes as and when.
Here's a good one to wake you up!
WHOLE BODY WARM-UP
Mapping the foot
Press on centre of sole of the left foot. Then press under the ball at the base of the big toe.
Press on base (underneath) of each toe, starting with little one. Easy way is to spread the fingers of right hand and place them under the base of toe joints of left foot.
Using thumb and index fingers of right hand press hard and squeeze energy out starting at areas between little toe, and toe next to it, from middle of foot to the extremities of webs between the toes. Tease all the webs and flick out old and tired energy.
Separate the toes one from each other using right hand.
If you can you may interlace the fingers of the left hand with the toes of the left foot.
Repeat the whole exercise on the right foot.
Stretch legs in front of you and spread the toes like antennae grabbing lines from the universe.
Visualise pool of awareness at feet.
Pointing the toes dip left foot into the stream then right foot then left again. You should feel stretch on instep as you point forward dipping into stream.
Bring heel of right foot up to the groin while left leg is outstretched.
Grab ankle of left leg with both hands and relax forward. Make sure shoulders are relaxed and just breath. Stretch tendons of left leg by pointing toes away from your eyes then stretch back of the calves by making toes face towards the eyes. Do this a couple of times.
Using both hands massage first and then tap on the outside of shinbone Starting at the ankle and progressing all the way up to the knee. Do this massaging and tapping as long as necessary. Repeat on Right leg.
Using the right hand grab energy from the base of the left foot all the way up the knee and thigh and place on the left vital centre twisting body to the left. Inhale the energy.
Repeat on the right side.
Do the 'Digestion pass'.
Sitting on the mat, with both lags bent; the heel of the R leg rests by the L hip ( and extending to the side), while the L heel rests by the R hip.
The heels of both hands rest behind you to prop the body up .
From this position , exhaling turn the body slowly to the right stretching the whole left side and letting the stale air out. Using legs as flying scissors cross the legs over so that the leg that was on top is now under the other. Do this 3 times and stretch. (Count 1, 2,3 & stretch 1, 2, 3 & stretch).
Primeval Stance
Palms on the floor and feet flat on the floor. Legs are bent but the muscles of buttocks and thighs are working. Feet are shoulder width apart. Toes and fingers gip the ground.
Let the head relax totally and let it hang loose. (But make sure that the shoulders are not hunched up towards the ears. To do this keep a slight pressure under the armpits, which helps to keep the shoulders down).
Stay in this posture breathing for a while.
Twist the pelvis side to side (L and R ) while in the primeval position.
This action feels like separating the lower and upper part of the body.
While in this position it is important that your breathing is deep and relaxed. You may well find that you start breathing from the lower abdomen.
Inhaling bring hands up to the ankles. Relax in that position and keep head hanging. Inhale and exhale a couple of times .
Using the fingers map (kneed) the muscles from outside of calves up to the knees.
At the knees inhale and exhale.
Continue the mapping up to the L & R vital centres.
Grab all the energy from the V C and throw it away with one big movement.
Stand upright.
Check your stance.
Knees should be over the toes so that you can't see the toes.
The knees should not splay inwards or too much outwards.( Both of these
actions put pressure on the base of the spine and on the shoulders)
The inner muscles of the thighs should be actively working as if you're
holding a disc between the thighs. (Visualise a cone the base of which is at
the genitals and the base at the height of the knees)
Find your centre of gravity. To do this place all the weight on the L foot
then the R foot.
Place the weight on your heels then on your toes.
Place the weight on the outside edges of your feet then on the inside edges.
Your lower body should be alert.
Pelvis thrusts.
From the basic position rotate the pelvis upwards squeezing the buttocks and lower abdominal muscles.
Do these trusts slowly and rhythmically starting from a centred position.
( x 50)
(You can also do hip thrusts side to side too)
Upper Torso separation
From the basic stance both fists are in front of you ,-elbows bent- , palms facing ground as if you are gripping a horizontal line of energy.
Visualise that line of energy moving to the left. The shoulders and upper body follow moving in a horizontal plane to the left. The waist and knees don't move, they stay rooted.
( It may help in the beginning to do this pass in front of a mirror. Make sure your shoulders are level, and they only move side to side not twisting or hunched up to the ears. Only the upper body should move)
Swing arms side to side (Standard Tensegrity pass)
Roll shoulders slowly first backwards (x 10) and then forwards (x 10)
Hands grab a horizontal beam of energy. There is no tension in hands.
Let the head relax, rest the chin on the chest. Drop hands
Turn head to the left. Let chin rest on left shoulder. Make sure the shoulder is down , relaxed and level. While chin rests on left shoulder three fingers of the right hand are engaged as if softly gripping something.
Repeat on the other side.
Keeping shoulder down and level extend arms in front of the body till back of hands almost touch. From there open up arms in a horizontal circle until both arms are behind the body, palms facing the ground.
Repeat this 'swimming' motion 10 times engaging the muscles of the abdomen.
The next pass comes from the third video.
Briefly: Wiggle fingers , grab in front, lower, scratch the floor and run fingers in an arc in front of body left and right.
Grab with thumb, index and middle fingers ( like pincers)of both hands together at height of L calf, and keep massaging all the way up the left side of the body, till you reach armpit; then go around to sternum, up to left shoulder , down to sternum again and finish going back up to left shoulder and armpit.
Repeat wiggling and whole pass on the right side.
Map the Left hand.
Press the centre of the palm, the webs in between fingers, especially between thumb and index . Separate fingers from each other using the other hand. Get rid of excess energy by shaking hands.
Flick the wrist of one hand with the other hand.
Basically if you hold, using thumb and index of R hand at a point on the extreme right of the left hand where the wrist and palm joins (feel the bone with your index), by alternating pressure on the right hand between thumb and index you can flip the left hand to and fro .
Repeat on the other hand.
Using a grabbing motion of one hand massage the other arm starting at the wrist and move all the way up to the shoulder joint and then go down again to the wrist.
Vibrate the outside of the arm at the midpoint between the elbow and shoulder joint using two fingers of the opposite hand.
Repeat on the other arm.
Shake arms and then legs till the whole body is shaking.
Get rid of all tiredness and excess unnecessary energy.
Make Fire by rubbing both hands vigorously in front of you and apply heat with both hands to face in the direction of cheek bones to top of head and then release excess energy by flicking arms and fingers downwards.
Again rub hands (or rub thumb index and middle fingers together if you prefer) and using these 3 fingers like pincers massage with both hands simultaneously from inner side of the eye brows to the outer edge. Pull on both ears upwards and stretch ears by gently pulling on flesh
Make fire once more and apply to the face again but this time both hands cup over face and move outwards in direction of the ears.
Continue the 'pincers' pass from the 3d video.
Briefly: Wiggle fingers and grab outside of both calves move up outside of feet till the knee, inside of legs around calves to back of calves up the legs, buttocks, adrenals.
Massage shoulders.
Grab inside of both thighs and work your way up to abdomen and tanden area.

Subject: Santa Barbara passes-2-
Here are some more passes.
The Amber Light
(prior to this pass Miles read out a statement of intent about this pass twice. It was like creating a link with the ancient seers who navigated the unknown.)
As a preparation for this pass map the feet (see previous notes)
Sitting on the mat feet in front, legs bent, soles of the feet almost touching.
Extend both arms, palms open facing upwards pointing to infinity and earth.
'Dust' the left arm with the right hand 3 times (down , up , down ). Repeat on right side. Inhale and call Intent silently. (This pass can be seen on the latest video . It is very similar to first pass of the 3d video.)
Both hands turn to face downwards and palms press the floor between legs.
Fingers spread out.
Gaze at spaces between fingers and palms.
Become aware of the feet in a pool of awareness. They splash and there are colours in the stream of blue, clear green and clear amber. Concentrate on the colour amber. Allow it to come up the feet.Use both hands on the toes to bring the energy up to a point between the ankle bone and heel of each leg. (use the breath throughout this pass as a way of moving and storing the energy. )Lightly press on that area using fingers of each hand and visualise/feel the amber light.
Then we continue pressing/massaging the energy up the calves and press on a point midway up the inner calf of each leg. (pressing simultaneously).
Continue bringing light up to the knees,(press there), then up the thighs ,(press half way up), then the tanden (and press under or above the belly button), up to the Vital centres (place open palms there), the chest (place open palms there).
Stop at the height of the throat and rest hands between legs.
Breath in and circulate the amber light in the whole body. Expand the light to fill the whole luminous egg.
Using both hands and arms as wings simultaneously describe 3 inwards circles back to front (like hugging something) to circulate the energy all around the luminous cocoon.
Slowly rise and manoeuvre the body into the primeval Soles of feet are on the ground and palms are also on the ground pressing. Visualise the amber light coming up from the pool of awareness and rise up the whole body as you straighten up slowly into the human erect posture.
Now you do the last pass from the second video. (Briefly: send the energy to the top of your luminous cocoon and then open a hatch to send the light into the unknown; light returns, rests on shoulders, breath it in, close the hatch, light returns to the pool at feet, breath it in.)
Now circulate the energy all around the body.
From here you bend down from the waist and with hands feel the amber energy with your hands at the area below the knees and all around the body.
Explore.
You gather some of this energy and using both hands, bring it up the back of the calves, thighs, overhead to level of the eyes inhaling. From here bring it down the front of the body to the ground and raise it above head exhaling.
This is the infinity breath (video 1).
Take a step forward with the left. Right foot follow so that both feet are parallel.
Again explore the amber light at area below knees and all around the body at that low height. Scoop some of that energy and do another Infinity breath.
Step forward with the right leg. Left leg follows , feet parallel. Repeat
the exploring and do one more infinity breath.
Finish the pass by taking a few steps forward starting with the left foot.
Mapping the Energy body.
I wont give a detailed explanation of these passes because unless you were there they are too complex to describe.
But for those who have already done them at the seminar here is the order (as I remember it).
Morning passes
Lying down. Start by doing 'Breathing in infinity'
(Map hands,open the gates )
Then do breath where the leg rises up and comes down pointing.
'Breathing in infinity' again (?)
Lying face down; pull up energy from toe; weight on kidneys
'Breathing in infinity'
Evening
'Breathing in infinity'
(Map hands, and open gates)
Lying face down -weight on tail bone;pull up.
2 finger breath
Lying on back.Weight on solar plexus. Pull up
Spiral breath
Lying face down. Weight on shoulder blades. Pull up.
Zig Zag breath
(getting rid of excess passes (shown on the last day) 2 from running man and the one where you grab with hand energy from opposite vital, throw it out; scoop new energy and place back on the Vital Centre.)
Lying on back.Weight high on chest. Pull up
Slap breath
Breathing Infinity.
AMBER TIDE
(This is a slightly rewritten version that was originally posted to Tango-mailinglist)
Start with mapping the feet.
Dusting the link with intent: Sit on the mat feet in front, legs bent, soles of the feet facing, almost touching. Extend both arms, palms open facing upwards pointing to infinity and earth. 'Dust' the left arm with the right hand 3 times (down , up , down ). Repeat on right side.
Inhale and call Intent silently. (This pass can be seen on the latest video . It is very similar to first pass of the 3d video.) In an arch almost slide hands over torso up and out as if presenting the hands, untill fingertips are on the floor, palms facing up. Both hands turn to face downwards and palms press the floor between legs. Fingers spread out. Gaze at spaces between fingers and palms. Become aware of the feet in a pool of awareness.
They splash and there are colours in the stream of blue, clear green and clear amber. Concentrate on the colour amber. Allow it to come up the feet.
Slide both hands over the toes and feet to bring the energy up to a point between the ankle bone and heel of each leg. (use the breath throughout this pass as a way of moving and storing the energy)
Lightly press on that area using fingers of each hand and visualise/feel the amber light. Continue sliding the energy up the calves and press on a point midway up the inner calf of each leg. (pressing simultaneously).
Continue bringing light up to the knees, (press there), then up the thighs, (press half way up), then the tanden (and press under or above the belly button), up to the vital centres (place open palms there), the chest (place open palms there). Arch hands over the chest and under the chin outward and rest hands between legs.
Breath in and circulate the amber light in the whole body, exhale. Inhale, expand the light to fill the whole luminous egg.
Using both hands and arms as wings simultaneously describe 3 inwards circles back to front (like hugging something) to circulate the energy all around the luminous cocoon.
Slowly rise and manoeuvre the body into the evolutionary position. Soles of feet are on the ground and palms are also on the ground pressing/grabbing the floor (no movement of fingers or toes, just the feeling). Visualise the amber light coming up from the pool of awareness and rise up the whole body as you straighten up slowly into the human erect posture.
Continue with the last pass from the second video (stellar hatch: Briefly: send the energy to the top of your luminous cocoon and then open a hatch to send the light into the unknown; light returns, rests on shoulders, breath it in, close the hatch, light returns to the pool at feet, breath it in.)
Circulate the energy all around the body.
From here you bend down from the waist and with hands feel the amber energy with your hands at the area below the knees and all around the body. Palms facing the floor lightly circle at level of knees to feel the energy.
Explore. Gather some of this energy using both hands, bring it up the back of the calves, thighs, overhead to level of the eyes inhaling. From here bring it down the front of the body to the ground and raise it above head exhaling. This is infinity breath (video 1).
Take a step forward with the left. Right foot follows so that both feet are parallel.
Again explore the amber light at area below knees and all around the body at that low height. Scoop some of that energy and do another Infinity breath.
Step forward with the right leg. Left leg follows , feet parallel. Repeat the exploring and do one more infinity breath.
Finish the pass by taking a few steps forward starting with the left foot.
CLOAK OF CONFIDENCE
Start by breathing deep, inhale, slide hands up slightly on the pelvis, exhale, slide hands down over the legs and feet, and place them palms down on the feet. Inhale, slide hands to the ankles and exhalehere. Inhale sliding up to knees. Exhale there, inhale sliding up over the pelvis to the energy centres just at the lower ribcage. Keep the energy and focus there on the 'lower disc' throughout the whole exercise.
Next movement is in the third video.
Throughout this part keep the hands on the energy centres where they ended in the first part of this pass. Bring left leg straight forward, toe pointing down, tap with toe on the floor in front once, tap floor straight down twice with the heel, jump from left on right foot, placing right foot last on the floor. Do the same on the right side, and once more on the left side. (so you do this three times: left, right and left.)
Lift left foot just above the ground and shake out once and put it back on the floor. Do the same on the right side. Then lift left leg, with knee in 90 degree angle, knee pointing forward. Rotate knee out, set foot back on floor. (This is one flowing motion with knee sweeping outward). Do same on right side. Next do same movement but now sweeping knee inwards, starting with left again.
With a deep inhalation slide hands over the torso until arms are stretched out with fingers pointing up. Exhale while hands come down to level just above the shoulders, palms facing forward, fingers pointing up, hands next to the face. Bent all fingers exept index finger, at the second joint in the fingers, palms still facing forward. Inhale, stretch left hand forward, pulling a line between both index fingers, right hand going a little backward but right arm not stretching back. Exhale, bring right hand forward and left hand back to the shoulder, pulling a line in the opposite way between the two fingers. Inhale, bring right hand back next to the face, both elbows completely bent. Turn palms so that palms facing the side of the head. Exhale, bring left hand up , index finger pointing to the sky. Inhale, bring left hand back to previous position. Do the same on right side. Next, stretch all fingers and perform same movement as before, now grabbing energy when fingers are up by curling the fingers and pulling it down when inhaling. Gently clasp hands together mixing the energy that you hold in each hand. Rub the hands of on the chest, on the centres at the ribcage just below the chest and finally on the lower disc area. While you rub it of, by rubbing you pull the torso a little so that it rotates in the direction of the pull, making a slight torsion.
Clasp hands together at the left hip with left hand on top going up above the right shoulder. From there cut down to the place at the left hip as if cutting with an aks. From the left hip make a cirkel , first to the right shoulder, over the head, past the left shoulder untill the hands are in the middle in front of your chest. Pull the hands, still clasped, next to the right hip, left hand on top. The lower left arm gets pushed against the area of the lower disk. With a firm movement push the clasped hands out straight in front of you.
Separate hands in a gentle arch, letting them go past the sides, to the back, where you lay them with the backs of the hands on the lower back, leaning forward a little woth the upper body. Bring the hands forward, turning them inward past the sides to the front endingwith hands opened, palms up, fingers pointing forward at the level of the belly. Inhale while bringing the handscloser to the body, pushing the elbows back. Exhale while pushing the hands forward, stil in the open, palms-up position. Bring hands straight up, turn the palms so that they are now facing down, cross the hands over eachother and back, as if smoothing a sheet or sliding them over a surface. Bring the hands straight down and make the smoothing motion once more. (This is "building a structure of energy" from one of the video's)
Grab two lines of energy with the hands and tie them around the legs: Make a fist with a small space between fingers and palm, bent knee of right leg, standing on the toe. Bring fist next to outside of knee with palm facing forward. Turn the fist around the outside of the knee downwards, to the front and upwards, as if wrapping a line of energy around the outside knee. Next wrap it around inside of ankle by bringing the foot up, standing on left leg, with the palm facing backward, fist going back, down, forward and up. Then wrap it around the knee again in the same way as before. Repeat this movement on the left side. Bring hands still in fists to the lower disk area, push the knuckels together (elbows pointing out), hands on the lower disc, and inhale. Exhale, let go and jump in position for next part.
This position is: turn to face right, right foot turns to point forward (to the right of previous direction) and left foot stays in previous position, so that now your feet are forming a T, leaning on the left foot. Your hands at the same time that you jump in position, come up in an alert form, with left hand slightly higher and more to the front then right. With weight on left foot pull in and up the right foot three times sliding over the floor in direction of left knee (as a bull preparing to fight). Jump to change the position of the feet, placing right at the back and left in front but keep the same direction as before. With weight on right foot now slide left foot in over the floor and up to right knee (3x). Make a fast turning step with right foot going to the front pivoting on left foot 180 degrees. Make another pivoting step with left foot coming to the front, but this time bring the left foot up more on bring it down slower. One more last step with right foot pivotting on the left bring up the foot more and slowly down while exhaling. With a high big arch make one more pivotting step with right foot turning on the left foot and bringing right foot in a sweep to the other side as if stepping over an obstacle, now facing the opposite direction.
Make two sweeping motions outward with hands, palms open and facing forward, right hand first and fast, directly followed by left hand a little slower. While doing this bent down through the knees but keeping the back in a straight, upward position (leaning forward if necessary, but not bending the back). Do this a second time.
Seeing something at your right foot from the corner of the eyes you grab it, pull it up stretching the knees, while coming to a straight standing position, pulling the hands with bent fingers up to the level of lower ribcage. While pulling up, step with left foot over the right foot placing the left foot next to the right, making a step to the right. Now push the energy you pulled up, down again to the ground a little to the right.
You're now standing straight with the left foot in front. Make a step with right foot to the front, bring right hand, arm stretched, over the head and kick with left foot. If completed, the right hand and left foot touch eachother at the end of the sweep of hand and kick of foot (but the hand and foot don't have to touch, just go as far as feels good to you). Put left foot back on the ground (this will be a little behind the right to counterbalance the kick and sweep.) With both hands, palms open, push from above the right shoulder downwards next to the left hip.
Step forward with left, now kick with the right foot and sweep with left hand over head, bringing hand and foot as if kicking and slapping something between foot and hand. This time the kick and slap are more horizontal, with right foot going a little to the left and left hand to the right. Put right foot on the ground.
Push back the right elbow sharply next to the torso, right hand in a fist, palm facing up, left hand with palm facing the right fist, moving as if assisting this push but not holding the right fist, ending with right fist just above the right hip and left hand just in front. Push the back of the left hand forward as if hitting outward with the back of the hand at the level of the chest, next hit outward with right fist at level of the chest. Lastly hit with the back of the right fist backwards at level of the shoulder, ending with right fist knuckles pointing up, arm bent in 90 degree angle, palm facing forward. While you make this last hit pivot on the left foot stepping back with right foot 90 degrees. Finish by bringing hands down in front exhaling.
FIRE FORM
Start in warriors stance. Pull the membranes between the fingers of the left hand, one by one. Next same on right hand.
Put left hand at left hip, wrist facing up with hand bent back, palm facing forward. Put right hand with wrist downward on top of left wrist, palm flipped back facing sideways to the left. Turn the hands to the right hip, keeping wrists together turning against eachother. Turn back to the left, again to the right and back to the left again. Then rub softly the right wrist over the left to the front as if lighting a match or making sparks between the wrists, repeat 2 times (total of 3 sparks), and at the same time spread your toes in the shoes, but not too obviously visible (just a small attention-movement).
Repeat this whole sequence again starting with hands at the left wrist.
Then step out to the left with left foot on heel, toes pointing to the left. Make a small step with right foot, turning left to the front, coming in warrior stance again and turn on the body.
Step on toes of left foot, rocking forward on the toes of left foot 3 times, spreading the toes. Repeat with right foot.
Put hands at wrist-level with palms flat, facing the floor above the feet. Make three inward cirkels with the left foot, keeping the whole sole of the on the ground as if exploring/touching the floor, at the same time left hand follows this circle at the level of the hip, palm still facing down. After third circle, scrape foot over floor backwards 2x (as in scraping of energy from intent-series).
Repeat this whole sequence on the right side.
Repeat circles with hand and foot and scraping as described above.
Make a big circle outward with the left hand at hiplevel and foot sliding over the floor, at the same time pivot on right foot 90 degrees to the left as if extending the circle. Do the same on the right to the right but don’t pivot. (you end up standing turned 90 degrees to the left from original position).
Breath deep, palms still facing down, bringing hands back a little. Breath out, bringing hands slightly to the front, fingers pointing forward. Inhale, move shoulders and left elbow a little to the left without moving the hips, as if something is pulling the shoulders in a straight line. Exhale, move back to the middle. Repeat this to the right.
Inhale, move shoulders and left elbow to the left again, turning the left hand so that palm faces up. Exhale, move to the right side, right shoulder and elbow moving slightly to the right, left palm turning down, right palm turning up.
Repeat 2 times to a total of three.
Inhale, bring hands to middle, right hand moves a little to the back, palm turning, facing up. Push hand straight out, bend elbow, palm of hand facing and at the hight of the face.
Look at palm, inhale, exhale, make fist, pivot wrist, turn lower arm so that fingers point to the right (but hand stays in a fist so fingers are curled up), turn lower arm on elbow down, with left hand push right shoulder back turning the torso, ending with the right hand still in a fist at the right vital centre on the back. Inhale, bring both hands forwards in an elegant arch, palms facing up at the level of the hips.
Repeat this whole sequence with the left hand. (this is a movement from the second video)
(Next movement also from second video)
Shake hands and arms. Keep hands shaking/vibrating, starting to turn outward and up with left hand and arm (big circle), across the front of the body, down again, at the same time pivot the whole body on the right foot 180 degrees, stepping over with the left. Bring left elbow to the left preparing to pierce to the upper right and forcefully jolt with the left hand to the right, at the same time making a small jump to the right. Jump back bringing the left elbow and hand back. Vibrate hands (both) again and turn left hand up and outward (in opposite direction of first big circle) to the left, down across the body at hip-level, up and out to the upper left. From there slowly, breathing out, pierce to the lower right.
Repeat this movement of piercing two columns with the right hand, ending with right hand at the lower left side.
Inhale, bringing both hands in an arch-like motion to the right upper leg and back, forming a ball. Make a scooping motion with left hand followed by the right hand, scooping up the ball of energy. Put this ball of energy with hands on chest and rub/push it in. Inhale, open the hands from chest (keeping the wrists on the chest) and exhaling push out the hands to the front, making a jump to the front.
MAPPING THE ENERGY BODY IN THE MORNING/FUNDAMENTALS
Sitting position
Press area on sole of feet, press base of toe - first with every finger one by one, then together. Massage point above pinky toe one-third up, pressing up to toe and out. Tease the web between the toes.
Point feet down, first toes, foot follows, left, right, left, stretch body over leg, opening points on backside of leg. Push out heel, stretch toe 3X, come up, squeeze on outside of shinbone, from ankles up to knee. Repeat movements for right leg.
Cross right foot with sole on ground over left bended leg. flip legs to reversed positions, back and again, ending with left foot over right bended leg. Breath in facing the back, exhale, turning torso to front. Repeat complete movement for other side.
Stand up on feet, bended over with hands on floor. Grab the mat with feet and hands, alternately, stretch the legs a little so that the buttocks twist slightly from side to side, inhale, slide hands to ankles. Map/squeeze up with hands on outside of legs to knees, then up to vital centres, squeezing some more and throw out. Lean on foot, spreading the toes, repeat other side.
Find centre: lean forward on toes, backward, stand on outsides of feet, then on insides.
Pelvis movement: bring pelvis up to the front engaging the muscles of upper backside of legs and deep abdominal muscles. Repeat 50x (or more..). Bend arms, bring hands in loose fists in front of face, move to the sides using only the torso, hips and knees don't move (10x..)
Regular warmup twist arms dangling to left/back and right/back, turning body above the hips.
Roll shoulder forward (inhale-up,fw., exhale-down) roll shoulders backward
Grab with both hands something in front of pelvis, no tension in hands - only teasing tendons. Let head hang forward. Bring head up and to the left side, let it hang to left shoulder, grabbing with right hand at right hip (no tension), same on right side.
Bring hands with backs together arms stretched out in fornt of body, then inhale, opening the arms as wide as possible, palms facing out, exhale, bringing hands back to starting-position. Repeat a couple of times, faster without the breathing.
(first part third-video pass)
Wriggle fingers up in fornt of chest, wriggle down, go down to ground in two motions. Search on ground with wriggling fingers, grab left ankle, right hand on top, squeeze with three fingers up on outside of leg, to armpit, go down a little (still squeezing), to middle of chest, bring left hand on top, go up and out to front side of shoulder, back to middle and up over shoulder on backside.
Repeat on right side, start with wriggling fingers.
Massage point in handpalm, squeeze hand up over the arm to shoulder, rub area on outside of arm halfway upper arm. Repeat other side.
Rub hands together till they're warm, inhale, slide hands over face and head, throw out. Massage eyebrows and ears, rub hands again, slide over face sideways. Vibrate arms (complete arms) and legs.
(second part video pass)
Wriggle hands up, down, to floor, grab both ankles with respective hands, squeeze up on outside with three fingers over knees to the inside and down, stay a while at the ankles, to the back, up on backs of legs to vital centres on the back. Bring left hand over right shoulder and squeeze, bring the hand back to vital centre on back. Same with right hand. Bring hands in an arch to the inside of the knees. Squeeze up over the groin to vital center on the front, and let go.
MAPPING THE ENERGY BODY
Morning passes
Lying down.
Start by doing 'Breathing in infinity': inhale, slide hands up over torso, stretch up fingers pointing up, bring stretched arms pointing to front, flick hands at the wrist so that palms are facing forward (in laying down position this means 'facing up'), exhale while hands go down to shoulders as if pushed by something heavy, exhale last part of breath, pushing hands down the sides of the torso, with sensation as if somthing comes out of fingertips and toes.
Tease the web between fingers and toes.
Second breath: inhale sliding up one hand over torso till pointing up, lift sames side leg, point the toe, exhale, sliding hand down over torso till hand comes a little up above upper leg, fingers pointing to toe, inhale, bring hand/arm up again in one big arch, lift leg a little more and back, exhale, bring hand down in big arch, fingers pointing to toe. Repeat this on the other side.
Lying face down; put the leather-weight on point between kidneys, inhale, pull up energy from toes by sucking in the point between anus and genitals (third vector/gate), hold for a while and let go. Stay in position and note the effects;
Finish with 'Breathing in infinity'
Evening passes
'Breathing in infinity'
Three motions that can be done anywhere throughout the next series whenever needed (getting rid of excess energy/switching between the physical body and the energy body) Two last passes from 'Runing Man'
(1. splash energy from one foot to the other by - soles of feet facing, one foot splashes energy on other, alternating - 2. rubber feet - bend knees a little, then with a vibrating motion flick thye feet/legs out, letting the ankles/feet vibrate completely relaxed.)
Grab with hand energy form vital centre on opposite side, push hand up/out, open hand, turn it, close and pull down to same vital centre and rub. Same on other side. Repeat a couple of times.
Sitting position
Tease the web, fingers and toes,
Massage point under foot, near the ball, under the big toe (first vector)
Gently slap lower legs with backs of hands (not necessarily upward) (second vector) Lying face down, put leather-weight on tail bone; pull up energy from toes by sucking in the point between anus and genitals.
Two-lines breath: inhale, slide hands up over torso, exhale, slide down with only index and middle fingers stretched until fingers ar just over the knees (legs pulled up slightly), wriggle fingers a bit (all five stretched) as if something is coming out (same with toes), inhale, slide up over torso, only the two fingers stretched, exhale forcefully, pushing palms of hands down between legs.
Lying on back, put weight on solar plexus. Pull up energy.
Inhale, putting fingerstips of one hand on shoulderfront opposite side, finnish inhaling bringing this shoulder up a little and elbow pushed up, exhale, relax, circling hand (sliding) down over belly until indexfinger rests on belly button, inhale there, exhale, pushing hands down between legs (which become pulled up a little) with palms close facing each other but not touching. Repeat on other side.
Lying face down. Weight on point between shoulder blades. Pull up energy through third vector/gate.
Zig Zag breath: put hands on chest, fingertips slightly interlocked, inhale, bring shoulders up from ground as backs of hands come up almost touching, fingertips stay on chest. Exhale, lay back, hands slide down, left leading, on torso in a zig zag fashion. Hands stay rested on or slightly above pubic bone, inhale, exhale, zigzagging up over torso to chest, inhale bringing backs of hands up again, exhale, pushing palms of hands down between legs.
Lying on back. Weight high on chest. Pull up energy from vectors.
Inhale, pull up a little to sitting position (but not completely), slap with back of hand on same side leg just below the knee, slap with palm on opposite leg just below knee, make cutting motion between knees, scoop with hand energy up, exhale, bring hand up to chest level and, stretch fingers pointing up from chest and push out hand up.
Finnish with 'Breathing Infinity'.
These series aim at opening the gates for dreaming/reaching the energy body. They are directed at the energy body.

The 2 fingered breath, at the end when exhaling and the hands shoot down, the knees drop to the sides and the soles of the feet are together making a diamond. When you release you can stay in this position for a few seconds. It is the position of the second or third gateway, I forget which. An interesting position. I remember that the hands are pointed towards the feet with palms facing each other on this pass not the next.
The solar plexis breath, it would be clearer to say the hands make a spiral on the stomach converging on the belly button.
It would be clearer to say, place weight between shoulder blades rather than high on chest.
In that last pass I remember the hand shooting down palm facing the same side calf, thus slapping the opposite calf with the back of the hand and the same side with the palm. This is repeated with each hand.
Good job.
