Creative Tantra Empowerment

1 Creative Tantra Empowerment In India as the native gods of the forest, harvest and weather began to be replaced by gods of war and beauty and learning, older men retired to the jungle to ponder the riddle of life. They learned to breathe in new ways, and to see with their mind a flow of light that accompanied that breath. Channels seemed to be carrying this energy, or prana, as they called it, to vital organs. The energy seemed to move the fingers of the old men. A finger could bind or release the energy of fire, water, air and earth. At least within you. Sounds bubbled from their mouths and the vibrations sang to the inner energy. Pictures were drawn on the dirt and sacred space was formed. Gods and goddesses were called - not as rulers, but as friends. As teachers who also were on the path to self realization. This empowerment is going to teach you a simple do-ityourself but genuine tantric method. Look at the pictures and then read the explanations below them. This is a very easy picture on the dirt, and it shows the yellow of the spiritual element of earth, and then the red of fire, the blue of water, and the green of

2 air. And at last the white of spirit space. Let your eyes glide in to the center, and imagine each element welcoming you and relaxing you. There are five powerful Buddhas who enjoy these colors and their energy is supporting you. Formed from the same picture through computer magic, this shows the double-square of the Mother Goddess of India. She has circles of green for leafy living things, and blue for wisdom. Four gates bulge on the edges of the square around her, to allow you in and out from her presence. She will protect you. Go deeper. Go down into the dark mystery. Relax and let yourself be the goddess or angel helper as you prefer. She is Wisdom and this is her Well of Knowledge...

3 Or is it? Some say when you look into the Abyss, it looks back at you! Be brave and keep searching... Something begins to form, almost like a blue dragon. Or a wheel of light.

4 You feel how bright this energy is! Whatever it is, it is yours. You have this within you. It is your true and pure Self. Everything in the universe is fine, is peaceful here. Breathe for a while... Try humming a simple word such as "OM" or "HUM". Let your fingers make shapes by themselves. Now what? These seem to be channels in your own body, seen from above. The middle red one runs along your spine. The green ones seem to weave along it. Their energy is not the same. One seems cooler, one seems warmer. Like the moon and sun. You can touch them with your mind, it seems. Your energy is happy and purring down in your belly area.

5 As your energy helps your aura glow, odd creatures are attracted to you. Some look like lions or dragons or other fierce beasts. Just relax and laugh and enjoy them! They are your own instinctive protectors. You see them in primitive forms but you sense they are alive and alert. They are part of your own strength. Call your energy from your belly and let it flow down your arms and out your hands, outward in waves of peace and joy. The universe is dancing. Let its light flow in and out. It is grateful for your awareness and help.

6 Take some deep breaths and open your ordinary senses and come back to regular reality. You have just done a very tantric meditation. You relaxed. You allowed yourself to encounter a helpful goddess or god of positive qualities. You opened and explored your inner energy channels. You were brave facing the scary illusions. And you were generous with your transmuted energy and gave it away as peace and joy. Tantric teachers believe the nature spirits, fairies as they are called in the West, admire these efforts and help meditators to gain clarity and strength. In India they are called dakinis. The goddess is called a yidam, or personally visualized protector. The scary animals are dharmapalas. The hummed sounds are mantras and the finger gestures are mudras. Now draw the three Reiki symbols of Chokurei, Seiheiki, and Daikomyo upon your heart and breathe in their strength, compassion and wisdom. This is a good way to end the exercise. It mingles Reiki and Tibetan or Hindu tantra in a genuine manner. This is true Tibetan Reiki. Enjoy!
