Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise

The Heart Chakra


" . . . tonight I desire to draw into outer awareness for all of you the fact that in yourselves there is a Spirit of Reckoning which is able to orient you around the Purposes of existence—not only of yourselves but of all men. There is indeed a storied pomp in the world which does not give refuge to the tiny babe but thrusts him out of the inn and bars the door. He must then come to birth in the stables of life, in the humble places and parts of the lowly. He must come then into fullness of grace as the Carpenter who fashions the Order of Things to Be.

"This Carpenter of Nazareth, this Spirit of pure radiance from On High is alive today and is alive evermore. He came then and he comes now. We retain in our hearts yet ascended a vision of his loveliness and this is no petty bauble, it is no mere trinket to be dangled from our necks but it is a treasure to be retained forever in our hearts.

"We would not relinquish the right to that memory for all of the treasures of the world and all of its wisdom, for there is a great beauty in simplicity which they who bear the need for sophistry often do not recognize; and in their desire for exactness they will turn from the Lord's side and the tabernacle of His witness. The Lord speaks to the humble the simple words of beauty and compassion. He draws out upon the mountain-tops the light of His Presence. Those who by reason of the enclosures of habit-patterns embued to them by others, unable to understand the glimpse of His beauty or to invoke it, are more to be pitied than censured.

"They will all come ahungered one day to the place where the vacancy, the vacuum, the relentless nothingness that is to be found in life without Him is no longer tolerable to their souls, and their longings that shall cry out from within them will give birth to a deathless God. In their own templed being the bells will ring and peal out with joy, 'For there is more joy in heaven over one who returns to the fold' of love than you even can dream of.

" . . . Do you see, precious ones: in the simple, pure, whole, abundant concept God is revealed to you individually per se, individually. To each and to all must come awakening. It can be done through the strength of the soul, the molding of the character lest the misfortune of assassination occur when mortality assassinates the character of spiritual integrity and degrades the Christ image in man.

"Rather, let us lift up the Christ image in man, let us graft ourselves into the true vine, let us let the Spirit of Unity be as cosmic verdancy, and let the wonder of His love grow and spread abroad wherever there is a mind to conceive or a heart to feel His love.

"I tonight, Djwal Kul, desire to bathe you in hope not by a flurry of mighty words or descriptions of cosmic places to fascinate your mind as I could do but by the revelation of simplicity I would strip you of delusion. Thus shall you avoid confusion—and finding peace in simple ways learn to love God all thy days and shatter human thought with praise—for God has won His victory to raise and raise and raise the world and every child of light a victor in the darkest night where Christ is born and life is found anew, anew, anew."


Djwal Kul
December 8, 1965


"I convey to you delicate threads of the Holy Spirit and of my dove of Light. It is the power of the Great Silence. Though in the earth and its atmosphere and beyond, that silence has been broken by your battle cry, yet in the Central Sun there is the stillness. And this I convey to you for the healing of the heart.

"I come to heal your heart, beloved, not alone the physical heart but the inner heart, the heart of desire, the heart of enlightenment, the heart of compassion, the heart of God.

"Yes, beloved. It must needs be that you also enter the silence before you fall asleep at night to establish the rhythm of your heart and the sacred breath as one with that of the heart of your I AM Presence. There must come rest to the heart and there must come the interval of rest.
Therefore practice, if you will, Djwal Kul's breathing exercise for the balancing of the breath."

Maha Chohan
December 31, 1991


"There must be the removing of the barriers, I say! There must be the understanding that you do not need to read five hundred pages to get the message of the mystical path of the ancients. That is why you are God-taught through the Messenger—so you can put that message into your cup and you can [drink it and] digest it.

"But how can this come about if you do not place your God-controlled attention upon the subject long enough and thereby contact not only the teaching but the Teacher behind the teaching and Sanat Kumara behind that Teacher and the Great Central Sun with Alpha and Omega behind Sanat Kumara? [Thus, by means of the Teacher and the teaching,] you go straight to the Source. And you do Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise and you give your pranayama and you give adoration to the Mother. And soon you find that God is inhabiting your temple, the Light is rising!

"And you will come to that moment one day, either here or in as many lifetimes hence as is your choice, when you will have that inner knowing. And the recall of that inner knowing from the lectures and the dictations given through the Messengers will be unto you simply the opening of the vastness of the Mind of God. And through a single lecture and dissertation, you may go beyond, to the point of the nucleus of the original release from the heart of the great Manus of the dispensation for that world religion."

1. First, place yourself in a meditative posture, sitting in a comfortable chair before your altar, the physical focus of your worship. If possible, you should set aside a chair that is used only during your meditations and invocations. You should consecrate this chair by the momentum of your heart flame as a focus of the atomic accelerator that is used by the Ascended Masters in the Cave of Symbols. Chelas who have passed certain initiations are bidden to sit in the atomic accelerator to have the atoms and molecules of the four lower bodies stepped up by the currents of the ascension flame in preparation for the ritual of the return, the alchemical marriage that is the soul's reunion with the Spirit.

2. Place your feet flat on the floor, your hands cupped in your lap, your head erect, eyes level, chin drawn in for the disciplined flow of the energies of the heart through the throat chakra.

3. The Call to the Fire Breath, the invocation of the Goddess of Purity given to the devotees of the Holy Spirit, should now be recited three times. Give it slowly, rhythmically, with feeling. Absorb each word and each concept with the conviction held in heart and mind that you are here and now a joint-heir with Christ. And as the beloved son, the beloved daughter, you are claiming your inheritance. Yours is an inheritance of the sacred fire that issues forth from the heart of beloved Alpha and Omega, who keep the flame of the Father-Mother God in the Great Central Sun.


Call to the Fire Breath


I AM, I AM, I AM the Fire Breath of God
From the heart of beloved Alpha and Omega.
This day I AM the Immaculate Concept
In expression everywhere I move.
Now I AM full of Joy,
For now I AM the full expression of Divine Love.

My beloved I AM Presence,
Seal me now within the very heart
Of the expanding Fire Breath of God.
Let its purity, wholeness and love
Manifest everywhere I AM today and forever. (3x)

I accept this done right now with full power!
I AM this done right now with full power!
I AM, I AM, I AM God-Life expressing Perfection
All ways at all times.
This which I call forth for myself
I call forth for every man, woman and child on this planet.

The immaculate concept, the fiery blueprint according to which your soul was created in the image of the Divine One, is now impressed upon your four lower bodies. This fiery blueprint is magnetized by the coil described earlier in this lesson, which you now bring to the fore of consciousness as the pivot of your call to the fire breath. The fullness of the joy which you claim is the fullness of the expression of divine love.

4. Now visualize the buoyant energies of love being magnetized by this coil and by the energies of the heart (which from our previous exercises you hold in mind as the focus of the interlaced triangles superimposed with the name of God).


Chart of Your Divine Self

"It is not enough that mankind have a Divine Presence.
They must also exercise it . . . "—Arcturus

“That which moves you and causes you to have being
is your own Mighty God Presence. Revere and adore this Presence.
This is yourFather and my Father. This is your God and my God.
This is the God of every master and every cosmic being.
This is the fire on the altar of heaven before which every knee
does bow and every tongue does confess, saying,
with great love and adoration and knowing,that it is ‘I AM."
—Lord Maitreya, September 18, 1960

It is essential that you hang above your altar the Chart of the Presence. [Where possible,] your eye level when you are standing should be at the eye level of the lower figure in the Chart, so that the Christ Self and the I AM Presence are above you.

5. Therefore, in all of your meditations and invocations, you should imagine through the imaging of the eye that all energy released through the chakras comes forth from the I AM Presence, through the Christ Self, descending over the crystal cord into the heart chakra, thence throughout the four lower bodies.


The Three-fold Flame

Establish in mind, then, the concept of a perpetual flow from the heart of the individualized God Self to the heart of the Christ Self to your own threefold flame pulsating in the rhythm of God's heartbeat. The sealing of your aura within the very heart of the expanding fire breath of God is
accomplished by your I AM Presence through the Christ Self in answer to your call. Remember, it is God in you who is the decreer, the decree, and the fulfillment of the decree.



Chakras

6. Visualize your aura as an ovoid of white light extending beneath your feet, beneath the coil, above your head and above the coil. See the aura increasing in the intensity of the light as that energy is expanded from the heart chakra and thence from all of the chakras as the sacred mist
that is called the fire breath of God. Let its purity, wholeness and love fill the ovoid of your aura; and feel your mind and heart disciplining that energy and holding it in the creative tension of your cosmic awareness.

7. Conclude the giving of the call (three times) with the acceptance. Now you are ready for the exercise of the integration of the eighth ray.

8. To the count of eight beats, draw in through your nostrils the sacred breath. When you first begin this exercise, you may wish to count the eight beats by the gentle tapping of your foot. The breath is drawn in through the nostrils as you fill first the belly and then the lungs with air. Let your diaphragm be inflated like a balloon, and see the air that you draw in as the pure white light.

9. Now to the count of eight beats, hold in the air and visualize it penetrating your physical form as the essence of the Holy Spirit, which nourishes, stabilizes and balances the interchange of energy in the physical atoms, molecules and cells.

10. Visualize this sacred energy flowing through your veins, moving through your nervous system, anchoring the essence of the balancing energies of the Holy Spirit in your four lower bodies and absorbing from them all impurities, which you now see being flushed out of your system as you exhale to the count of eight beats.

Let the exhalation be deliberate and disciplined as you slowly release the air as though it were
a substance being pressed out of a tube. You may round your lips to increase the tension of the exhalation. See and feel that breath being pushed out from the very pit of the stomach. You may lean forward if this helps to press out the last bit of air remaining in the diaphragm.

11. Now let your head resume an erect posture, and hold without inbreathing or outbreathing to the final count of eight beats.

12. Repeat this exercise daily, as you are physically able, until you have established a rhythm —mentally counting, if you wish, "One and two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and one and two and three and"—and so forth. Be careful that in your zeal you do not overdo. Each one must in Christ discern his capacity, which may be anywhere from one to twelve repetitions of the exercise per daily session.


Lower bodies

This fourfold exercise is for the balancing of the four lower bodies. The inbreath comes through the etheric body; the first hold is an action of energizing through the mental body; the outbreath is the release through the emotional body; and the final hold is for the anchoring in the physical form of the balanced action of Father, Son, Mother and Holy Spirit.

13. When you have mastered the inbreathing, holding, outbreathing and holding in this fashion and the accompanying visualization of the sacred fire releasing light, energizing the consciousness, extracting impurities, and finally anchoring the energies of the Christ, then—and only then-you may add to your exercise the affirmation "I AM Alpha and Omega" to the count of eight beats. This you mentally affirm once for each of the four steps of the exercise. This affirmation is for the establishment within you of the cloven tongues of fire, the twin flames of the Holy Spirit that are the energies of the Father-Mother God.

By thus invoking these energies and using the breath as the means to convey that energy to the four lower bodies and to anchor it in the physical form, you will be building the balanced action
of the caduceus—the intertwining of the Alpha and Omega spirals along the spine that are for the ultimate victory of the masculine and feminine polarity that raises the energies of the chakras, merges in the heart as the Christ and flowers in the crown as the Buddhic enlightenment of the thousand-petaled lotus . . .


Thousand-petaled Lotus

I place my Electronic Presence with each one as the guardian action of the sacred fire—I AM the guard—during the period of your meditation on the fire breath and your exercise of integration through the eighth ray.

Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise is taken from chapter eight of Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura by Djwal Kul. It builds on the foundations laid by Kuthumi in his Studies of the Human Aura and by Djwal Kul in Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura. It is a practical exercise for the purification and balancing of the four lower bodies by the Light of God and the sacred fire breath of God.

For maximum benefit from this Alpha-to-Omega breath meditation, give "I AM Light" by Kuthumi nine times before and nine times after Djwal Kul's Breathing Exercise. May this be your 46-day Lenten offering from Ash Wednesday, to Easter Sunday.


I AM Light
by Kuthumi

I AM Light, glowing Light
Radiating Light, intensified Light
God consumes my darkness,
Transmuting it into Light.

This day I AM a focus of the Central Sun
Flowing through me is a crystal river,
A living fountain of Light
That can never be qualified
By human thought and feeling
I AM an outpost of the Divine
Such darkness as has used me is swallowed up
By the mighty river of Light which I AM.

I AM, I AM, I AM Light
I live, I live, I live in Light
I AM Light's fullest dimension
I AM Light's purest intention
I AM Light, Light, Light
Flooding the world everywhere I move,
Blessing, strengthening and conveying
The purpose of the kingdom of heaven. (9x)

 

The Messenger recommends that students reread Studies of the Human Aura and Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura in preparation for the initiation to be given by Djwal Kul at the 1992 Easter Conference, "The Descent of the Crystal Fire Mist," April 15-19.
