Anarchistbanjo's World

As I enter this new world and this new year I’ve been finding new ways of living each day and a big portion of that is doing in the sense of adding more of the physical element to my spiritual practice. This is still a work in progress but as I add different things I would like to share them for those that might be interested. 

At the age of sixty-five (in April) it has become more and more important for me to include things in my daily practice to sustain my health. I have been doing some simple pelvic stretches and neck stretches to counter years and years of poor posture. Nothing fancy, but fifteen minutes lying on the floor and five minutes sitting in a chair doing various stretches like hamstring stretches.

What I’ve added is to simply do diaphragm breathing while lying on the floor. Breathing all the way out and then breathing all the way in. We might go through entire days without completely expelling the air from the bottom of our lungs or filling lungs to capacity. At least once a day this is an important health benefit. Most of us don’t breathe deeply enough.

Starting today I’ve gone back to review my Rosicrucian studies and discovered a vowel sound to intone for each day of the week as I do a simple attunement meditation with the Spiritual Light at sunrise. I was never really into intoning vowel sounds but I now realize that when you intone a vowel sound it causes your entire physical body to vibrate and that is a very powerful thing to do on a daily basis.

Even the act of speaking causes our physical body to vibrate with the words that we speak. It seems so strange that I never really realized that before! The words and sounds we make do cause our physical bodies to vibrate!
