Lecture: Development of Psychic Abilities (Part 2)

Introduction

• Welcome to the second lesson on developing extra sensory perception.
• Emphasis on using imagination for psychic development.

First Exercise: Imagination and Sensory Perception

• Exercise with Imagination:
  • 90% can visualize something amorphous without clear detail.
  • 50% can evoke approximate similar sounds in their mind.
  • 30% can recreate taste with their taste buds.
  • Very few can evoke smells in memory.
• Instructor's Aim: Develop psychic abilities over a couple of months.

Breathing Technique

• Fundamental for all occasions:
  • 5 minutes, 3 times a day.
  • Inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, exhale for 5 seconds.
  • Clear thoughts during breathing exercises.
• Common Issues:
  • Feeling weak or dizzy initially; will get easier with practice.
• Exercise Recap:
  • Inhale, hold, exhale, and clear thoughts simultaneously.

Benefits of Breath Holding

• Reading from an interesting text:
  • Holding breath for 40 seconds indicates the body is in great shape.
  • Importance of CO2 levels (6-7%) for metabolism and amino acid synthesis.
  • Activation of the vagus nerve: calms heart, slows pulse, benefits digestion, induces warmth.
• Connection to Psychic Abilities:
  • More energy → better sensory perception.
  • Pranayama and breath retention.
• Breathing Cycle Variations:
  • Basic: 5 seconds inhale, hold, exhale.
  • Advanced: Anulom Vilom Method with varying inhalation, holding, and exhalation times.

Meditation and Visualization

• Combine visualization with breath exercises:
  • Visualize sitting in the Lotus position in total darkness.
  • Inhale and visualize being in a hot desert; exhale and visualize being in Antarctica.
  • Develop psychosomatics and influence physical sensations through imagination.

Tactile Sensation Development

• Exercise Recap:
  • Hold an object, then try to recall and recreate its sensation in hand after 30 seconds.
  • Eventually, recall sensations of multiple objects sequentially.

Heat and Cold Sensation

• Exercise Recap:
  • Feel warmth by holding a hot cup and recreate the sensation with an imaginary cup.
  • Do the same exercise with cold objects (e.g., ice cream).
  • Gradually transition to evoking sensations without prior contact.

Brain's Biorhythms Control

• Roller Coaster Exercise:
  • Exercise intensely for 4-6 minutes, then switch abruptly to a calm meditative state.
  • Aim: Transition brain activity from high vibrations (beta) to low rhythms (alpha).

Concentration Exercise

• Five minutes of internal focus on the whole body.
• Transfer the entire focus to specific body parts (e.g., index finger, knee) for 30 seconds each.
• Aim: Develop the ability to pick up on subtle energies and sensations.

Summary

• Today's lecture emphasized conscious control over physical and mental processes.
• Exercises aimed at developing sensory perception, energy control, and mental focus.
