Waking Energy 7 Timeless Practices Designed to Reboot Your Body and Unleash Your Potential

Rite Six: Abdominal Massage
The Tibetans say that this special sixth rite will turn you into a superbeing. For the Abdominal
Massage to be truly effective, the monks say that you must practice celibacy, primarily because you
preserve your life force more effectively by not “giving away your power.” For instance, when men
ejaculate, they give away their power because their primary source of energy is in their sexual
essence, and by abstaining they retain it.
However, if you have read Chapter 5 and feel comfortable with your level of proficiency with the
Unleash and Transform practice, you’ve earned the right to try this one. Not only does this massage
detoxify the internal organs; it stimulates kundalini shakti and concentrates it in the third, the Solar
Plexus Chakra, in an extra powerful way, making it available for more potent and immediate
distribution throughout your entire subtle body.
1. Stand comfortably and exhale as you bend forward from your waist, placing your hands on your
knees.
2. Expel the last bit of air from your lungs and without taking in new breath, return to an erect
position.
3. Place your hands on your hips, with your fingers to the front, and press as hard as you can while
sucking in your abdomen. This will raise your shoulders and chest.
4. Holding in your abdomen, squeeze your perineum to emphasize the upward thrust.
5. Hold this position. With your eyes closed, bring your internal focus to the third eye, the point
between your eyebrows, so that all the energy from your lower chakras will be encouraged to
rise up to the higher energy centers with your conscious attention as the driver.
6. Repeat three times. Lie down on your back in a fully relaxed position and rest for a few minutes
afterwards.
Tip: When you must take a breath during the sixth rite, breathe in through your nose and then exhale through your mouth as you drop
your arms down to your sides to relax. Take in several normal breaths through your nose and mouth before beginning again.
As you practice the Tibetan Rites, you will actually feel the silent pulse of perfect rhythm that
connects us to all of life, energy, and nature. You will feel like a child again, spinning color
wheels of energy in harmony with one another and with your breathing, awakening the
circulating, flowing energy body within you. You will experience yourself as a vibrant
microcosm of the universe, at one with the universe and forever young.
