Or in the spaces between, feel this as lightning.
- A variant of technique 1 for a different mind: energy leaps center to center in a single spark, like lightning between clouds, instead of flowing gradually.
- Choose by self-observation: if, trying the gradual rays, the energy jumps straight from one center to the next, the jump is your mode - drop gradualness and use this.
- Actually more accurate: electric light looks steady but moves in fast jumps with dark gaps - light jumps, never travels. The gradual flow is the helpful aid; the jump is the truer picture.
- Tendency (not a rule): the male mind is jumpy (suits this method); the female mind is gradual (suits the first). Try both, trust what feels spontaneous.
- Lightning’s pitfall: heat can turn unbearable, and the explosion can frighten you - once afraid you may never do it again. Never push past fear: if too hot or intense, stop and switch to the gradual rays. If even the gradual rays run too hot, imagine the rays COOL - it works warm or cool.
- Sahaj (spontaneous/natural) rule: whichever form leaves you more alive, at home, harmonious is YOUR method - trust it. The inner mechanism is complex; forcing an unfit method harms more than it helps.
