REIKI

Reiki and Phosphenism can be combined efficiently. The following testimony desmontrates this fact. Phosphenism is a method of development of personal energy designed by Doctor Francis Lefebure, a French physician and researcher. This method is based on the systematic use of the phosphenes. The phosphenes are all the subjective sensations of light, i.e. those which are not directly generated by light stimulating the retina. They correspond to what ophtalmologists call images of retinal persistency or post-images.

The object of Phosphenism is to transform the energy of light into mental energy. It seems rather obvious that an increase of personal energy will improve the practice of reiki or any other type of healing method.

We have chosen to publish the following testimony, written by an Usui and Karuna reiki master, because it shows the interest of the combination of reiki and Phosphenism.

‟When I close my eyes to practice healing, I sometimes see a dot of light appear, no bigger than a distant star. This did not use to happen before I started practicing Phosphenism. By a mental effort, I can make this dot of light rotate through the patient’s energy channel, into the earth, then back through the patient’s energy channel, into space. I do not control the speed of the dot of light. With certain persons, this process is more difficult to produce though everyone feels relaxed during this exercise.

My patients then relate: ‛I felt as if I was outside my body’; ‛I felt as if I was travelling far away.’
Let me precise that I do not use suggestion during or after healing and that these testimonies were spontaneous. One person told me that he felt his energy unlock and that his hands started warming up intensely. After the session, I told him to try laying his hands on someone he knew. A week later, he came back to see me, very pleased with his experiments. His wife had pinched her finger in a caliper and he had managed to soothe her pain.

Since I have been practicing Phosphenism, I have been able to notice that my healing is more efficient. It is as if the phosphenes amplify the power of reiki. I attended a seminar of Phosphenism because I was seeking a technique that would make me evolve positively. I can now testify that Phosphenism does strengthen me, but also guides me and increases the effets of my healing. I hope this testimony will inspire practitioners of reiki of all levels to try Phosphenism and to combine both techniques, as they wonderfully complement each other. I humbly relate my story, as this combination imposed itself to me during my sessions of healing, and sharing our experiences seems to me the only way to help us all move forwards.”

RADIONICS

The term radionics was developed in 1949 in America. It refers to devices that are used for having an action at a distance.

Its basic principles are identical to the basic principles of radiesthesia: its purpose is to control the waves of forms or emissions, in a traditional fashion based on analogy.

In the beginning, radionics was used to diagnose diseases, with a tactile detector, a device that is claimed to be more efficient than a pendulum. In the beginning, radionics was related to radiesthesia. Then, the radionics techniques were used in emission, influencing plants animals and, of course, human beings.

Today, radionics develops sophisticated machines functioning on energy. Nevertheless, it still uses the knowledge developed for radiesthesia and the art of manipulating two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms.

The devices used for radionics

The oldest and most famous instrument is the pyramid. The knowledge the Egyptians had regarding this technique, at the time of the pharaohs, is still shrouded in mystery. Everyone has heard of the mummifying effect of a pyramid on meat.

Similarly, many persons who practice radiesthesia use the same razor blade for more than a year, without any loss of efficiency. After use, they are kept within a small cardboard pyramid.

The dodecahedron is also used in radionics. Many authors have designed radionics dials and plates adapted for different situations. The Servranx brothers also designed machines for radionics: the Audyne, the tele REC…

Doctor Francis Lefebure, a French physician and researcher, has designed a revolutionary method of cerebral development: Phosphenism. Practicing this method increases personal energy in a significant way. Radionics devices have analysed the effects of phosphenic exercises on people. The results are clearcut: practicing Phosphenism considerably increases the energy potential of the individual.

RADIESTHESIA

Certain persons are sensitive to the emissions (radiations, waves, pulsations, fields) that emanate from various bodies and objects. This ability is called radiesthesia. It also deals with all the processes that allow the detection of hidden objects, with or without instruments (divining rod, pendulum, etc.) These processes involve concentration, the transformation of a mental reaction into a physical reaction, and an analysis that leads to the object of the search.

The word radiethesia means: human sensitivity to radiations, to the influences that emanate from all that is. It is a particular way to understand or to perceive things, different from using the five senses. You cannot see an underground stream, nor a person localized thousands of miles away. Radiesthesia can give you precise and exact informations about an underground stream (localization, map of its run, direction of its flow, width, depth, quantity of water flowing, drinkability…), as well as help you locate the position of a person on a map, even from a far distance.

Vibratory radiesthesia deals more precisely with ‟waves of forms” and is connected to geobiology, the study of cosmo-telluric currents that condition the ‟power” of locations. The term ‟wave of form” was created in 1930 by Bélizal and Chaumery. This designation was then dropped.

Vibratory radiesthesia deals with ‟waves of forms” that come from objects or graphs. According to this theory, certain objects or certain forms emit positive or negative ‟waves” (or energies).

The Servanx brothers and radiesthesia:

One cannot discuss radiesthesia without mentioning the Servanx brothers. Jean-Louis-Felix, a.k.a. Felix, and his brother Guillaume-Jean, a.k.a. Willy were Belgian and used to live in Bruxelles. Willy, the eldest, despite his fragile health assisted Felix in all his works.
The Servanx brothers, fascinated by radiesthesia, released a journal, specialized in that field: La Radiesthésie pour Tous or L.R.P.T. This journal, lauched in january 1946, was published until october 1967. Within its columns, one could find consultations, information on meetings and conferences, as well as many books and files:
– Beginning in radiesthesia
– Reading people’s character with the pendulum
– A quick method of personal magnetism
– An initiation to medical radiesthesia
– Radiesthesia applied to business
– Practical lessons of radiesthesia
– The EXDOCIN files: EX-periences, DOC-umentation, IN-structions for radiesthesia, monthly files, published from june 1957 to september 1966. The Servanx brothers employed the most famous radiesthesists to constitute groups of research. The EXDOCIN files are a compilation of this research, compiled and edited by the two brothers.

Among the subjects studied: astrological medicine, graphology, self-magnetism, commercial applications of radiesthesia, luck and its techniques, designing artificial medicines, influencing people, the great pyramid and its influences, the keys to magic, increasing one’s sensitivity to radiesthesia, healing words…

People’s interest in the EXDOCINs has continuously increased for the last 40 years. These files are clear, comprehensive, easy to read and to apply. The practical exercises have obviously been thoroughly tested by the Servanx brothers. These files contain very valuable information, unmatched by the secret initiations of certain very hermetic groups.

Tireless bachelors, the Servanx brothers devoted all their time to radiesthesia. Felix, the youngest brother, died on octobre 30th 1966. His brother, a paraplegic, died on november 13th 1967.

The instruments of measurement used in radiesthesia

There are several measuring tools used in radiesthesia. The results are the same, regardless of the instrument used. The choice of a pendulum or a rod depends on the feeling between the user and the tool.

To quote only the best known pendulums: the egyptian pendulum, the Thoth pendulum, the Mermet pendulum, the universal pendulum, the rock crystal pendulum, the chakra pendulum. There are tens of designs on the market.
The most commonly used method of measurement is the Bovis scale. It is usually graduated from 0 to 18,000 units. The value of 6,500 is considered neutral for an average person. But, if your vibratory level is 8,500, objects or places with a value of 6,500 will not be suitable for you.

Like any other scale, it gives a numeric value of a vibratory level. One can thus find out the vibratory level of an apple, a ring, an organ, a person, a room in a house…

There is also several types of rods, from the simple branch of a tree, to sophisticated rods equipped with amplifiers of detection.

The Hartmann rod, is another simple instrument suited for beginners. On the other hand, the Lécher antenna, is a complicated instrument for advanced users.

The applications of radesthesia are limitless:
Medical radiesthesia, divination, locating missing persons or objects, professional choices, business… The only limits are the limits of the user.

Radiesthesia and Phosphenism: testimony by a professional radiesthesist

‟I have practiced radiesthesia for many years, I mainly use the Thoth pendulum, but also other instruments specific of this discipline. With this type of pendulum, I work a lot in emission.

I have noticed that doing a phosphene before using my pendulum increases its efficiency in a remarkable way. When I use it in emission, it starts rotating much more and much faster than without the phosphene. The emission is much more intense and the pendulum’s efficiency is increased tenfold. The presence of the phosphene helps, increases and quickens the creation of a contact with the object of the emission.

The phosphene quickly becomes an essential aspect of radiesthesia, indivisible from the use of the pendulum, bringing a spectacular increase in results.

When I teach beginners, there always are persons who experience difficulties in getting the pendulum to rotate, when other persons experience no difficulties whatsoever. To help people overcome this problem, I used to lay my hands on their shoulders. This was usually enough to get the pendulum rotating. Instead, I now use a phosphene.
The student and myself both do a phosphene; I stand behind them and project my phosphene on their neck, while visualizing the rotating pendulum. It quickly starts rotating.

I advise all the persons who are beginners in radiesthesia to practice Phosphenism. It is a token of success, bringing faster results.
For more experienced persons, the practice of Phosphenism will sharpen their sensitivity and the quality of their results.
The phosphene is an undisputable plus, increasing the efficiency of radiesthesia, whatever its domain of application.”

QIGONG – CHI – KI

Qigong is an ancient traditional chinese gymnastics which purpose is to achieve control of the inner energy called Qi or chi (pronounced tchee). It is based on the following concept: the energy of the universe and the energy of human beings interact and combine themselves. It is possible to stimulate this energy and to make it circulate with movements, breathing and visualizations.

For the Chinese, all diseases are due to a block of the chi. Healing comes when the blocked energy circulates again. Stimulating the chi through the meridians, the search of the balance of the Yin and the Yang are the principles on which Chinese medicine and martial arts are based. Some writers assert that Qigong is the common ancestor of these practices.

Medical Qigong dates back to thousands of years BC. Forbidden in China during the cultural revolution, it became accessible again at the end of the 70s. In 1979, the first National Seminar of Scientific Research on Qigong takes place in Beijing and, the same year, the National Institute of Qigong is founded.

Studies conducted in the Kuangan Men Hospital in Beijing, China have showed the influence of Qigong on curing cancer. Though it cannot be substituted to chemotherapy, the practice of Qigong considerably increases the chances and the rate of recovery.

Though Qigong has unquestionable healing properties, it is its preventive effects that interest us here. By favoring the circulation of energy, Qigong prevents the formation of blocks thus allowing the preservation of health. The following properties are usually attributed to Qigong: more dynamism, flexibility and balance, a feeling of well-being and of calm, an increased power of concentration and a development of self-confidence.

All these effects are also attributed to the practice of Phosphenism, a method of personal development created by Doctor Francis Lefebure, a French physician and researcher. When two techniques lead to similar results, their combination creates an extra synergy. The practice of Phosphenism makes people more attentive to their inner sensations. It thus favors the awareness of one’s body, allowing faster progress. Moreover, thanks to the phosphenes, concentration on the exercise is improved as well as visualization. Phosphenic energy makes the session of Qigong much more dynamic and results come quickly. On the other hand, the practice of Qigong creates favorable conditions for the practice of Phosphenism.

The phosphenes are all the sensations of light that are not directly produced by light stimulating the retina. A phosphene can be produced by focusing on a source of light for a short period of time.

Practicing Qigong with the phosphenes

If you practice facing the sun, you can produce phosphenes by focusing on the sun through a piece of fabric for one or two seconds.
Always take your glasses or contacts off when you do phosphenes with the sun. They could have the same effect as a magnifying glass and cause burns on your retina.
You can break your session down in two parts:
First, practice the Qigong exercise as usual, but during the presence of the phosphene.
Then, practice the exercise again mentally during the presence of the phosphene. This way, you will work with the myophene, the equivalent of the phosphene that corresponds to muscular activity.

OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCES & ASTRAL PROJECTION

The head of the School of Dr Lefebure, Daniel Stiennon, practiced the exercises of static tension for many years. In the following text, he relates his experiences of astral projection, from the early stages of his training to the production of highly spiritual phenomena.

‟I remember my first out of body experiences as they took place yesterday. After 2 months of practice, at the rate of half an hour a day, I observed that I was practicing the exercises again in my mind as I slept, i.e. that my ‛double’ was reproducing the exercises of static tensions. This process kept me absolutely conscious while I was asleep. The consciousness of my ‛double’ and the state of hyper consciousness, allowed me to move in the subtle world with perfect ease.

In the beginning, being conscious of my ‛double’ allowed me to fly and hover in the air, to travel huge distances at a tremendous speed, to ascend and decend like a supersonic plane. These moments were unbelievably pleasant and wonderful and reminded me of what I used to experience as a child. At night, I often had the impression that my bed was taking off with me, travelling in a fantastic universe that only children can imagine, like ‛Alice in Wonderland’.”
It is interesting to note that many children have this kind of experiences and that science fiction and fantasy are simply the adults’ exteriorization of this rich and fascinating inner life.

Here are a few of my early experiences with the practice of static tensions. I selected them to try and convey what astral projection is really like.
March 1986: After two months of practicing static tensions, fourth out of body experience.

After a small journey in a subtle universe, I decided to return to my body, trying to stay lucid until my double returned to my physical body.

I decided to progress by steps and to stop first on the roof of a large building nearby. I heard a noise that I interpret as the sound of a jet airplane. I started panicking somewhat: ‟What if the plane hit me?”. This doubt made me return to my body almost instantly and I suddenly woke up. My heart was pounding and the temperature on the surface of my chest was the same as if I had a fever.

Ten minutes later, this sensation had disappeared. I understood that the sound that I had interpreted as the sound of an airplane was actually the sound of the garbage truck.

Conclusions:

1) There are levels of consciousness where the mind can create whatever it wants.

2) It is better to have a healthy heart to practice astral projection. Note that blind persons do not drive racing cars.

3) Out of body experiences are powerful sensations. One has to be a bit of a thrill seeker to really appreciate them. But, if you are, this is a chance to experience incredible sensations in a safe and economical way.

I decided to try and master what the traditions call ‟lower astral plane”, a plane of consciousness on which the mind can create whatever it wants. With patience and perseverance, I learnt to go through closed doors, walls, ceilings, trees, and various objects like tables or cupboards.
After a few months, this process became like a second nature.
Though these experiences were very pleasant, I decided to go for something a little bit more thrilling.

In books of occultism, authors mention the dangers of astral projection, mainly the creatures populating the lower astral plane. But, how could I create such entities when I am not particularly impressed by this kind of litterature? During out of body experiences, we encounter our own psyche. The world we delve in is affected by our beliefs, our biases, our intellect, our way of life, our education and the books we have read, even a long time ago.
Thus, during an astral projection, I decided to create my own ‟entity”. I created a three-headed dragon that contained all my fears. It was a materialization of my deepest feelings of fear.

I decided to engage combat with the creature during a fantastic astral chase. I was feeling more and more frightened, like a soldier chased by enemies.

I played that game for a while, until I decided to end it by waking up. The experience was just like a thriller movie, though much more intense.

Amplification of feelings in the subtle planes.

Among the classic experiences related by certain authors, the theme of ‟astral lovemaking” is recurrent. Thoughts can be charged with any kind of emotion, so why not an erotic emotion?
During the static tensions, I visualized a cascade of sparks rotating around my partner.

After a week of practicing this exercise, I woke up in the middle of the night by the static tensions performed by my double. I perceived my partner’s double. I was filled with a powerfully erotic sensation, much more intense than usual.

‟Astral” lovemaking is an unbelievable sensation, exhilarating and impossible to describe. A fantastic discovery.

After six months, I considered that I had explored the main sensations of the ‟lower astral”. As a researcher and explorer, the conclusion I made was that everything is connected to the psyche of the person. What you experience shows who you are. There are as many different experiences as there are individuals. For a person with a sound mind, this plane is an unending reserve of perceptions and sensations: our amplified thoughts…

November 1986

I decided to densify my double further to reach another plane of consciousness.
The theme of my program of exercises was representing my double within the phosphene, filled by a vortex of light, while visualizing cascades of sparks swaying to a precise rhythm between the image of my double and myself. Light rises inside the image of my double, from the perineum to the top of my head, and then whirls back down around my double. Again, the cascade of sparks goes from my body to the representation of my double, enter it, gather in the perineum, rise in a whirling motion, and so on, following a precise rhythm.

Eight days later, the static tensions repeated themselves while I was asleep, with a strength I had never experienced before. A majestic force in which I perceive my double surrounded by powerful, whirling currents of light. Carried away by these currents, I started moving upwards like a rocket.

I had the feeling that I was above the clouds, in a very clear sky. It is an intoxicating experience, accompanied by a feeling of calm and beauty.
I had this experience several times. But, every time, I felt there was a limit to my elevation, a limit that I could not pass.

December 1986

Thanks to the exercises of static tensions, it is easy to produce out of body experiences. Nevertheless, one needs to learn how to evolve in that intangible universe.
Few people manage to reach the higher planes of consciousness where they meet a spiritual guide that helps them in their research.
To understand fully this problem, let us compare it to travelling on the Earth. There are many paths to travel on, many countries to visit, many places to go to. The world is vast.

The main difference in the astral plane is that one needs precise information to get anywhere. One cannot go anywhere without prior knowledge.

One must study thoroughly the keys that will give them access to the various planes of consciousness, the same way one needs to study maps before going on a trek.

This is the profound meaning of the term meditation: from the latin meditatio, ‟exercise”. To reach grand experiences, one must have the right keys.

All these informations can be found in the ‟Meditation for Elevating the Soul Through the Cosmos” CD by Dr Lefebure.

The exercise of meditation consists in adding a session of meditation to the exercises of static tensions. This meditation consists in giving a direction to one’s thoughts.

Contacts in the Astral

February 1988

Every night, I was woken up by my double repeating the static tensions. Progressively, it acquired a greater density. One night, I found myself in a scenery that I know very well: my cousin’s farm in Brittany where I spent all my summer holidays as a child. There, in the middle of a field, there was a large tree. I walked towards the tree and, slowly, I entered it, as if I wanted to be one with nature. Then, I felt propelled upwards, and found myself in the sky. I was ascending. The earth appeared smaller and smaller as it got further and further away from me. Above me, I perceived the infinity of space. Suddenly, I started freefalling, at a vertiginous speed. I had just crossed the spiritual equivalent of the line of equigravitation, i.e. the line where the gravity of the sun is cancelled by the gravity of the earth. I had just entered the ‟higher astral plane”. I kept travelling and found myself in the cosmic plane. I contemplated a grand scene.

Myriads of stars shone in the distance. I sensed presences. I was filled with a great joy and happiness. A being that I did not know yet came closer and I felt, instinctively that it was going to be one of my ‟guides”. But, at that moment, I simply contemplated the universe in the company of that being of light.

We exchanged a few impressions telepathically, and I enjoyed every minute that passed. Suddenly, I waqs taken away by a vortex and I woke up.

Cosmic meditation

January 1988

I knew that Dr Lefebure meditated in the direction of the constellation of Sagittarius, as we had discussed it. I started gathering information about this region of the cosmos in astronomy books. As I said before, it is better to prepare one’s astral projection, the same way one prepares a trip abroad.

After having consulted books and pictures of astronomy, I practiced the exercises of static tensions, while keeping in mind the memory of the photos of the constellation of Sagittarius. As soon as the image of one of the pictures was clear in my mind, I associated the image of Dr Lefebure to it. Then, I visualized cascades of sparks moving from him to me, with the idea that he was doing the mental contractions.

After several sessions of practice, I experienced contact. I found myself with Dr Lefebure, somewhere in space. We were not alone and he introduced me to his masters. They talked together, then nothing. Pitch black. I woke up in the morning with only a few snippets of memory of the night.
Dr Lefebure called me in the morning and asked me if anything happened last night. I did not dare talk and stayed silent for a few seconds. He anticipated my answer and told me that he had met me, that I had appeared made out of light and that we had talked about initiation.
The bond was created beyond my wildest dreams!
