First Exercise:

 

Say: "May all the blessings of Heaven pour down on me, the brotherhood and the whole world, for the glory of our Heavenly Father"

"Seek first the kingdom of God and its Justice, and all else shall be given you"

Symbolism: The triangle pointing downwards: Involution. Power from the Heavenly Father going downwards. (6 times: Left, Right, Left going backwards, Right, Left, Right going forward again). during this we may imagine we successively let the Angels or Forces of the Heavenly Father descend into us, so they may strengthen us:

Here too, we may in thoughts visualize the symbols for the Angels or Forces. or the colours of the Rainbow.

How to do it:

1: Stand straight, raise your arms slowly on either side of you, palms up, until the tips of your fingers touch over your head (breathe in fully on 1, going up, and on 2 - 5, going down, breathe out fully volledig uit); only the 5 fingertips of both hands touch  (compare this with the symbol of the 5-pointed crown on the head of  some likenesses of Transcendent Buddha's, the so-called Jina's:

 this symbolizes that they have transcended all laws of nature and all transitoriness). Just before your fingertips touch, step back with the right foot.

 

2: Slide your hands down each side of your head, without touching it.

 

3: then let them down along the left side of your body

 

4: Bend your legs very slightly and lean forward from the waist

 

5: as your hands slide down towards the ground, at the left foot.

 

6 – 7: Straighten up slowly, bringing your arms up vertically above your head again.

 

8: Just before your fingertips touch, step back with the left foot and slide your hands down each side of your head...

 

9: and down the right side of your body.

 

10: Bend your legs very slightly and lean forward from the waist as you slide your hands down to the ground, along the right leg. 

 

11: Straighten up slowly again, bringing your arms up above your head...

 

12: Just before your fingertips touch, step back with the right foot and, once again, slide your hands down each side of your head and down the left side of your body...

 

13: Bend your legs and lean forward from the waist as you slide your hands down to the ground.

 

14: straighten up slowly, bringing your arms above your head. Just before your fingertips touch, step forward with the right footand continue the movement as before. 

Repeat the whole movement, once more:

- while the left foot is brought forward

- and finally, once again the right foot is brought forward.

 

15: At the end of the last movement, your arms are above your head. Bring your left foot forward beside your right foot, and lower your arms on either side of your body, palms turned down.

Toelichting: Je vraagt de zegeningen uit de Hemel niet alleen voor jezelf maar ook voor de broederschap en de wereld die je op deze manier helpt. Als je alles uitsluitend voor jezelf doet, blijft je werk beperkt, nietig. Waarom altijd alles voor zich alleen? Waarom altijd zo spaarzaam en zo gierig zijn, zonder ooit een goed woord te besteden aan de anderen? Op die manier leer je nooit werken met de hemelse krachten en zul je eeuwig met dezelfde moeilijkheden af te rekenen hebben. Wij moeten alle krachten en vermogens, die God ons gegeven heeft, mobiliseren: het woord, de gedachte, het gebaar.. en ze aan het werk zetten voor het heil van heel de wereld.
