most natural. This circuit can be done while sitting, lying down, standing, or even walking, but is best learned while lying down with arms spread wide or above your head.
1. Prestimulate as needed, then center awareness firmly in both feet.
2. During the IN breath, raise energy up legs and flow it into the sub-navel.
3. Continue flowing energy into the sub-navel until IN breath is finished.
4. When IN breath finishes, flick awareness instantly into both hands.
5. As OUT breath starts, draw energy through the arms, down the chest, and into the sub-navel.
6. Continue flowing energy into the sub-navel until the OUT breath is finished.
7. At the end of the OUT breath, flick awareness back to feet again.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 continuously, settling into a natural rhythm.
9. If awareness cannot be split, alternate arms and legs, using one limb at a time.
10. IN and OUT can be reversed if preferred.
Full-Body Storage Circuit The full-body circuit combines awareness energy raising with breathing, as with the above technique, but covers the whole body with one continual flow of energy, rather than two separate flows. This stimulates the majority of energy conduits, pathways, and energy centers in the body, including the primary energy centers.
A full-body circuit should be done, if possible, for ten to fifteen minutes per day to gain significant developmental benefits from it. This can also be split into many smaller sessions, and even a minute per session is valuable. Once learned, this technique can be used to make better use of free waiting and traveling time. There is no limit to the length of time this can or should be practiced, the more often the better.
If this technique is done for just a few minutes before falling asleep, the extra energy raised increases the vividness of dreams and lucid dreams. This empowers all subtle and dream bodies, thus making conscious-exit projection easier to do and to remember.
The energy-raising action used in the full-body circuit can be fairly wide; it does not have to be narrowed to just the spine. Allow it to spread out as energy is raised up through your back and down over your front, narrowing it just before it flows into your sub-navel.
Use slow, deep, natural breathing. Prestimulate feet and hands and bounce awareness through your whole body a few times before beginning the full-body circuit. The full-body circuit can be done in any position, but is best learned while lying on your back with arms resting comfortably at sides.
During the downward sweep over the head, the energy is best taken into the mouth and down the throat, and then out onto the upper chest as it continues moving down toward the sub-navel.
Otherwise the throat area will be skipped as awareness passes over the face and chin, and it contains important centers that should be stimulated. It helps if the tongue is rolled back and held gently against the roof of the mouth during the full-body circuit.
Taking energy into the mouth can be omitted entirely if this is found to be too difficult or too distracting. In this case, simply take the energy down over the face and chest, skipping the mouth entirely. The mouth part of the full-body circuit should not be forgotten. Add it at a later time when you are more comfortable with it.

Prestimulate as needed, then center awareness firmly in both feet.
During the IN breath, raise energy up the legs and through the back.
Raise energy through arms as awareness passes where hands are resting (optional).
Continue raising energy up the neck to top of the head.
Hold awareness in the top of your head and accumulate it there until the IN breath is completed.
As the OUT breath starts, sweep energy over your face, into your mouth, throat, and chest to the sub-navel.
Continue flowing energy into the sub-navel until you complete the OUT breath.
At the end of the OUT breath, flick awareness back to the feet, ready for the next IN breath.
Repeat steps 2 through 8 while settling into a natural rhythm.
