The Gentle Fingers/Beams of Light lesson has so many applications. As a way of learning to open the front of the body to avoid slumping, its awesome. It can be a spiritual practice of exploring the attitudes of approaching - moving into commitment, opening the heart - and receptivity - bowing the head in submission, rounding into acceptance.

The “Stop light” version of this lesson, a 15-second recap would be:

  • Feel a loving beam of light connect to your sternum and draw your heart upward

  • At the same time, feel a loving beam of light connect to the pubic bone and draw the pelvis downward to ground your lower chakras.

  • Notice how the front of the body opens, the back arches a little, the head tips upwards and you are no longer slumping!

Here is the full lesson:

1.     From Side Lying or Sitting, Focus on the front top of the chest

a.     A Beam connected middle of your sternum pulls forward

b.     A Guiding finger gently pushes the back forward 

2.     From Side Lying or Sitting, Focus on the back top of the chest

a.     Attach the beam behind you and let it pull you back 

b.     Let the guiding finger in front ease you back

3.     Let the Beams front and back pull back and forth, one at a time

4.     From Side lying or Siting – Focus on front of the pubic bone and sacrum – 2nd chakra  

a.     Let the beam draw your pubic bone forward

b.     Let the gentle finger push from the sacrum forward

5.     From Side Lying or Sitting Focus on the Back of the Sacrum

a.     Let the beam draw your sacrum back

b.     Let the finger push your pubic bone back

6.     Let the Beams front and back of the pelvic area draw you front and back

7.     Return to upper body:  Let the beam draw the heart upwards to heaven from front and back

8.      Return to lower body:  Let the beam draw the pubic area down; then let the beam draw the sacrum downward

9.     Focus on the front of the body:  Let the upper and lower beams pull up and down, to extend the front body

10. Focus on the back of the body:  Let the upper and lower beams pull up and down, to round the back body

11. Return to the upper body:  Let the beams draw the chest forward and back
