If you want to work with etheric energy you need to get it moving and that means opening up the energy pathways in the pelvis and lower back. Remember etheric energy is the lowest energy that there is! While I am not in any way offering medical advice I am sharing what I do to help rejuvenate my own body. Since I have some lower back issues and neck shoulder issues I do some reverse stretches for my spine by first placing a small block the size of a couple large books beneath my pelvis and let the weight of my legs pull down and arch my pelvis a bit as if doing “The Bow” in yoga. Then I do a reverse stretch using a Denner roll for my lower neck to help straighten the curve of my poor posture. The Denner roll is like rolling up a towel and placing it where your shoulders meet your neck and letting the weight of the head gradually straighten your spine. With both of these stretches it is important to roll to the side when done so that the stretch is broken with the rolling of the body and not using the muscles. It is also important to only do them a few minutes until you are more strengthened and used to them.
As I do these stretches I’m visualizing healing energy going up and down my spine and into my pelvis area. Then I move on to the stretches in the above video which are excellent for me and really stretch the pelvis and lower back in a good way. I really like the sitting in a chair.
One important tip is that most lower back issues are the result of the hamstrings being too tight over the years. Never in my life have I been able to touch my toes without bending my knees. When doing some of these stretches never force the stretch! Just hold the stretch a little while feeling the energy flow through the area and then bend a little further! As the muscles and tendons relax you will be surprised at how much further you can go! You can also take a breath and hold it a little and then as you release the breath move forward a bit with the stretch… then repeat until you are satisfied that you have done a good stretch!
After I get toughened in I may try moving to some more aerobic exercises but I’m 63 years old and a bit out of shape. I don’t want to push it!
I do my meditation or pathworking after these stretches because my entire lower body is more energized and powerful during the meditation. It helps the meditation or pathworking to be that much more powerful as you work with the etheric energies.
