Lamasery Excersizes

The "Lamasery Exercises" or "Tibetan Rites" of the Gnostic tradition are a highly refined and synthetic condensation drawn from the ancient and highly sophisticated science of Yantra Yoga ('khrul 'khor), which is a series of very rigorous physical and energetic exercises practiced in all the schools of Tibetan Buddhism. They have some relationship with both Hatha Yoga (now very popular in the West) and martial arts, both of which originated with the intention of keeping the physical body fit enough to withstand the intense demands of spiritual development. Clearly, both Hatha Yoga and the martial arts have largely abandoned their spiritually-focused roots, the evidence of which is their complete inability to awaken the consciousness of their practitioners. The exercises below, however, are very different, and when practiced faithfully, can awaken the consciousness and provide many other essential benefits.

It is necessary to know that in our human body, in our cellular organism, we have some chakras that we can qualify as specific, special for our organic vitality. These are like vortexes through which Prana, life, enters into our organism. They are, namely:

1. First, the occipital,
2. Second, the frontal,
3. Third, the laryngeal located at the throat,
4. Fourth, the hepatic,
5. Fifth, the prostatic [or uterine],
6. Sixth and seventh are the two related chakras located at the knees.

So, these are the seven basic chakras; again, these are important for the vitality of our physical organism since through these chakras, the life, Prana, penetrates into our Vital body, which is the seat of all organic activity...

Meditation and prayer correspond with each posture or sadhana; in other words, when they change a rite-posture, they intensify their meditation and prayer on any of the mystical aspects, in accordance to what they are beseeching for.

The Divine Mother Kundalini is the central focal point of each sadhana. Thus, when we are performing these exercises, we must be in perfect concentration and prayer; we are beseeching, begging to the Divine Mother for our most urgent necessity. Through Her, we can ask of the Logos; She intercedes for us before the Logos, She pleads with us, She begs for us. She has great power, thus we beg to Her, the Divine Mother, to intercede for us before the Third Logos, so that She may beseech to the Logos for healing, for the awakening of our Consciousness, the awakening of any chakra, etc.

Each position is different and each implies an intensification of our prayer, our petition, our pleading, our begging.

In these exercises of meditation, concentration, and pleading, we may very well ask our Divine Mother to invoke, by Her own will, Her divine husband, the Third Logos, the very sacred Holy Spirit. We already know very well that the husband of the Divine Mother is the Holy Spirit.

It is necessary to beg and to intensely beseech to our Divine Mother so that She may, in turn, beg and beseech Her divine husband to heal us, and to relieve us from any illness or pain that is afflicting us; this way, She will concentrate in the Logos, Her husband, the Arch Hierophant or Arch Magus (as He is named) so that He may come and heal this or that sick organ that is hindering the rendering of our work.

In these moments, we must identify ourselves as being one with the Logos, with the Holy Spirit and, in a tremendous, imperative way, we command the sick organ saying:

BE HEALED! BE HEALED! BE HEALED!

WORK! WORK! WORK!

We must talk to the organ with true faith, with energy, with courage, since it has to unavoidably be healed.

We must definitely be concentrated on each cell of the sick organ, on each atom, on each molecule, on each electron of the sick organ, and commanding it to work, to be healed, to be cured, while being profoundly concentrated on the Logos, completely identified as being one with the Holy Spirit, who in those moments is performing the cure, the healing of the sick organ. Thus, in this way, the organ will have to be healed, it will have to be cured, this is obvious.

Therefore, it is commendable for each person to learn how to cure himself. Thus, through the strength of the Holy Spirit, we are able to cure ourselves; we are able to cure any illness. This problem of going around sick is very depressing, very painful, and those who walk on the path, as I have already stated, should not have the basis for being sick. So, these exercises develop the chakras and, on the other hand, they heal our organism.
