Spiritual Self-Defense, part 6

By Otmar Jenner Nachrichten

Places of power give strength. Unhealthy places cost strength. Some rooms rob power. Some terrain is eating power away. Airports are known to be exhausting, as are train stations. Too much hustle. The price of public places. But you can avoid them if they suck too much energy from you.
However, there are rooms where a daily and longer stay is inevitable. Because you live or work there for example. Maybe your own house. Your own apartment. Or your own office.
When such a place turns out to be unhealthy, it becomes problematic. Such places make you sick. Mostly insidious. Often first mentally, then physically. Or both at once.

Question: How can I tell if my apartment, my house or my office is a place of power for me, so it has a healing effect on me? Or whether it is a space that consumes, which means it costs energy and in the long run would prove unhealthy?
Answer: There are hints for the latter.

If you feel cold in your own home, although the heating works well and is also turned up, but in other places that are comparably warm you do not feel cold – this should be taken as a hint.
If you sleep better in the hotel than in your own bedroom, although it is actually quiet in your own bedroom – this should be taken as a hint as well.
Those who often dream badly in their own bedroom, but not at nights while staying somewhere else – should also consider this as a hint.
Those who often experience attacks of unfounded anger or other very negative moods at their own homes and feel much more comfortable in other apartments and see fewer negative moods altogether – should take this as a serious indication.
Anyone who gets headaches at their own home, which disappear or do not appear in other places – should take this as a very serious indication.
Anyone who is constantly ill and thinks it could also be because of the apartment, and then moves to a friend or in a hotel room, with the result of immediate recovery – should consider this as a very serious indication.
Anyone who is often able to measure elevated blood pressure at their own home, which sinks to the normal range after leaving and sitting in a café or staying at work – should consider this as a very serious indication for a burden at home. The same applies to your own apartment, your own office, your own workplace
When a place feels stressful or even unhealthy, the next meaningful question is: why exactly?
Because there are chemical, biological, electromagnetical and other physical reasons. These reasons (such as pollution by environmental toxins, spores of fungi, radiation from high-voltage power lines, radar, radio, mobile phones, but also irritations by water veins and geomagnetic fields) should be excluded or eliminated (if they exist). Probably with the expert help of construction biologists or environmental engineers.
When these probably existing problems have been solved, but your personal well-being does not improve then this is a hint for further informal-energetic burdens and stress – which also should be eliminated.

Maintaining the human life functions works without having to think about it (mostly anyway). Slowing down your own heartbeat with the power of consciousness is possible, but difficult. To stop the reflex of winking with the eyelid by your own will is (if only for a few minutes) much easier. But after ten minutes it will become difficult. Breathing more slowly, pausing between breaths, or breathing without a pause and very fast, that seems easy for a while, but difficult in the long run. People long for automatism in the matter and would like to leave the job of breathing to their lungs alone.

So they do not have to think about it.

Well, there is no need to do so.

Breathing works without thinking.

However, sometimes your breath stops. Inevitably. The current of air is on hold. Automatically. You hold your breath. Just a little moment. Mostly too short to be registered by you at the moment. This is the moment where foreign energy can attach.
I know that sounds imprecise, somehow dubious. What is simply due to the fact that more precise and professional terms in that matter are missing. In any case, at the moment when the breath stops, in that very moment opens a kind of window for the affected person. A window that is like an invitation, an open gate through which can enter what wants to come in, what is sent, what should penetrate, energetically and informal.
That is why it is important to pay attention to your own breath. Especially in the very moments when you probably have something else to do. Whether it’s because of excitement or being carried away by fear or becoming angry. In such moments the door of the soul opens wide. Through this gate can suddenly enter, what wants to come in. Unhealthy energy for example, the pungent energy of not so nice colleagues, the unpleasant energy of strangers.

Therefore: breathe calmly. Slowly in and out. A single current that runs through the body, connecting the inside and with the outside, a wave that may be life itself, which is why it deserves attention. Especially in those moments when you want to withdraw the attention.
As long as the respiratory wave runs smoothly through the body, you are protected by it alone.

Spiritual Self-Defense, part 4

In everyday life, that’s not a secret, a lot can affect your mind. The result is heaps of thoughts which tend to become mountains. Those piles of thoughts can rise particularly harsh in sleepless hours between three and five o’clock in the morning. Thoughts, as rugged as bare rocks. And so bleak.
In the depressive phase of the 24-hour cycle, productive and meaningful thinking is almost impossible, meaningless pondering is all the more likely. This is a fact studied and proven in various psychological studies.
Who lies awake between three and five in the morning, thinks of unpleasant things as well as unfinished ones and does not stop this thinking, which provides very often sincere problems next morning. And if it was just the echo of a bad mood, which began in the very early morning hours, now it has the tendency to ruin the following day.
Whatever a person thinks between three and five o’clock in the morning, it is almost never positive. Almost never does optimism and enjoyment of life emerge from it. But almost – without exception – the opposite.
Therefore, it is helpful to think as little as possible during these times. At best, nothing.

Huh, how am I supposed to do that if I’m awake between three and five in the morning and my brain is wriggling because I can not think of anything other than lounging around and thinking?
My answer: it is okay to think. As long as it is meditative.
Ah, what exactly is meant by that?

Ideally, a procedure in two stages. First, by repeating a sequence of syllables whose only quality should be that it makes no sense. Only a consistently meaningless sequence causes an effect in the brain, which could be called tabula rasa – empty sheet. Example: Manigo-Remergo-Nangilomenko. Completely meaningless. You could try to think of a meaning. But any sense bounces off the bundled senselessness of this sequence of syllables.
This first stage of the method consists in repeating this or a similar sequence of syllables in your mind. Think the sequence without a break. And exclude other thoughts by doing so. In fact, other thinking is locked out.

Question: If I repeat this meaningless sequence of syllables in sleepless nights or morning hours – will I not be all the more awake? Maybe even agitated?
Answer: At the first attempts maybe, but then comes the resting affect. The empty sheet in the brain, the tabula rasa, guarantees a state of inner silence. This requires some practice. But after a few days, at the latest 14, the fruits are to be enjoyed: namely, more sleep in the same night and more energy the next day.
Then the second stage is used: breathing meditation.

How? Very easily. By watching the breath at the tip of the nose. By inhalation. When exhaling. Only that. And thoughts may come and go. There is no reason to hold on to it.
At this point, further questions arise: But how is this supposed to work in practice with the first and second stages? When do I think of the meaningless sequence of syllables and when do I observe my breath at the tip of my nose?
Answer: Who lies awake at dawn meditates most powerfully with the meaningless sequence of syllables. And that with open end.

When you wake up the next morning then watch your own breath at the tip of the nose for five to ten minutes. Later, levels one and two can be combined. So, for ten minutes, do the meditation with the meaningless syllable sequence, then the breathing meditation for another thirty minutes.

And now to the last question: Why is this part of a manual for spiritual self-defense? What does one thing have to do with the other?
Answer: a lot. People who have problems with harmful energies, people who feel energetically-informally burdened or attacked – these people are very often awake early in the morning. And if they are not awake early in the morning, they suffer from thought carousels during the day. So thoughts that revolve around certain, not pleasant topics, thus keep them away from more pleasant thoughts. Meditation is the only measure known to me which solves this problem permanently.

Three times a week: Taekwondo, Korean martial arts. Which means running, jumping, kicking, hitting. And all this with the utmost mindfulness and respect for your own physical possibilities. Yes, and those of your partner during sparring. I address my teacher as a “master”. I am the oldest student he has ever accepted.

Some people have difficulties reconciling my enjoyment of taekwondo with my work in my practice.
Understood. Martial Arts and Spiritual Medicine do not work like siblings. However, Taekwondo declares itself a peaceful Olympic sport, it comes from the military. And thus forms a counterpoint to the spiritual healing practiced by me, which certainly has not the slightest militaristic features. At this point, there is some friction in my biography, and some people find that questionable.
Me too. In my understanding in the sense of an invitation to ask. Therefore, I allow myself the following consideration: meditation, introspection, mental refinement, spiritual growth, spiritual knowledge, experiences of unity, moments of oneness as well as impulses of healing (healing of another person as well as of being healed) have nothing aggressive. Where does a person show himself more non-violent, pacifistic, and thus less fearful and more affectionate than in these moments, when his innermost self rises and the inner diamond shows itself, namely, as a bright light of internalized love?

All the more necessary is a shelter to protect the inner light, the unfolding of refinement and agape. If the protective space is missing, the light may only glow, could be extinguished in windy moments, gleaming again to extinguish once more, when the gray shadows of an ever again brutal world seemingly mercilessly and carelessly throw themselves over you with their sometimes lightless blackness.
That happens. Even if you do not want to admit it. And that results in burdens. Mental. And energetic.

What are those people who feel energetically burdened?
Without exception, people with a fine sensorium: highly sensitive.
The more sensitive someone is, the more rude feels what seems to be rough. Therefore, especially sensitive people should learn to protect themselves more effectively, perhaps to defend themselves, even to fight when necessary.
You may find this annoying or inappropriate. Especially in the consciousness of your own fineness and delicacy, words such as protection and fighting seem almost vulgar.
However, those who do not protect themselves, do not defend themselves and in principle reject the fight for their own well-being may be faced with a much greater problem. Spiritual Self-Defense provides an answer. The result of my experiences in Taekwondo and my work as a spiritual healer.
