The Immortality Exercise - Preparations

1. Align your bed to the magnetic North-South. When you're determining the North pole with a compass, make sure there are no ferro metals around that disturb the measurement. Cross-check the measurement with sunrise or sunset. If you can locate your building, home or street on Google maps then check the direction of your bed in alignment with the walls in your building or home.

2. The most perfect situation is that you install your bed permanently in the North-South direction, so you can keep the threshold to practice as low as possible (you'll notice you'll sleep also calmer and better when sleeping in line with the magnetic field lines of the Earth). You can also decide to lie somewhat oblique in your bed.

3. Put a clock besides your bed, with an alarm. The advice is to start the outbound trip (head to North) with 25 to 35 minutes and the inbound trip with 20 to 30 minutes. The outbound trip takes longer because it involves the process of becoming in full relaxation.

The Exercise - Head North, the Outbound Trip

1. Lie down with your head pointed to the (magnetic) North. Put your arms besides you, preferably with the palms of your hands upward, because the touch of the fingertips on the surface of the bed can cause too much sensation (and brain activity) once you're in deep relaxation.

2. Raise your eyes slightly upward towards your Ajna (third eye), otherwise the chance you'll fall asleep, once in total relaxation, is 99% sure, especially the first period. Keep your eyes there, fully concentrated on your body and feel how your body is relaxing.

3. With every deeper relaxation you may start to experience tingling sensations all over your body. Slowly decrease the pace of your (abdominal) breath. Your breath may not cause any tensions in your body. Focus your attention on the upper half of your body.

4. When you feel ready, locate and 'switch on' your Anahata (heart chakra) and concentrate it to radiate light upward, to your neck and head. Fill your torso with light. You'll notice the sweet subtle sensations of the energy going upward through your torso.

5. When you feel satisfied in your upper torso, arms and hands, continue doing the same from your Vishuddha to your Ajna and from your Ajna to your Sahasrara and from your Sahasrara into 'space'. During this 'trip' upward you'll feel it tingling all over your body, head, hands, down to your feet. Just let this happen. Keep your focus strictly on the chakra where you're currently in. Concentration is the key of the practise.

6. It is possible that time's up before you reach your crown chakra, but it's best to finish the practice and forget about time in this case.

7. The final step after finishing the Sahasrara (crown chakra) is to 'open' a channel from Anahata (heart chakra) up to the Sahasrara, and radiate along this 'tube' light (or consciousness) up to the Sahasrara. Stay in this position as long as it feels comfortable.

The Exercise - Feet North, the Inbound Trip

1. To make the inbound trip, you'll have to turn 180 degrees in your bed, putting your feet where your head was before. After turning you might notice a very awkward sensation; there appears to flow energy from your upper part downward. This sensation usually lasts not more than a few minutes.

2. Start again to locate and switch on your Anahata (heart chakra) and concentrate it to radiate light downward to the Manipura. This is where the ego resides - a very powerful and active chakra. In many cases this chakra will block energy flow. You'll notice the sweet subtle sensations of the energy going downward through the lower part of your torso and your tummy. Fill your lower torso and tummy as far as it feel good, but don't forget that there are more chakra's to be done, besides the Anahata.

3. When you feel satisfied, continue doing the same from your Manipura to your Svadistana and from your Svadistana to your Muladhara. During this 'trip' downward you can feel it perhaps tingling everywhere. Just let this happen, but keep your focus strictly on the chakra where you're currently in.

4. The Muladhara chakra (root) is probably the chakra that requires the most attention in the first period. It is your root and your 'lightning rod'. This chakra has often many blockages, which might result in joint problems at a higher age. Pay much attention to this part of the exercise - it will make you feel good and strong.

5. The final step after finishing the Muladhara chakra (root) is to 'open' a channel from Anahata (heart chakra) down to the Muladhara, and radiate along this 'tube' down to the Muladhara (and to your feet). Stay in this position as long as it feels comfortable.
