The Methods of working with the Rods by Count Walewski



1. MAIN POSES AND ATTITUDE OF A BODY TO THE SUN When working with the Rods it is necessary to watch a correct attitude of one's body to the energetic flows of the Earth and The Sun. Usually, the rule "Always face the Sun" is kept, no matter what sex a person is and whether he is left- or right-hander. That means, that, when working with the Rods in the morning, it is necessary to face the East, in the afternoon - the South, in the evening - the West and at night - the North.

The main poses, used for working with the Rods, are so-called "Egyptian Poses" sitting and standing. The pose sitting: Relax all of the muscles except for those, supporting a back and a head, perpendicularly to the earth. The palms are situated on the knees. The knees are moved slightly apart. The heels are on the breadth of shoulders or pelvis. The feet are moved slightly apart. The shoulders are lowered and relaxed. The elbows are pressed to the sides. Thus, the feet, shanks, thighs and forearms form a symbol of life - letter V.

The pose standing: The back is straight, perpendicularly to the earth. The shoulders are lowered, the arms are straighten along a body. If, when breathing, your right nostril is more active, advance your right leg half-step, if your left nostril is more active - the left leg should be advanced.

General rules:

a. entering the state of total peace. To do this a whole body should be consequently relaxed from top to toe: the head, neck, elbows, wrists, palms, chest, belly, back, waist, buttocks, knees, ankles, feet. One should mix up the relaxation with looseness;

b. the back of the head and the spinal column are in one straight line, as if you were hung up to a ceiling by a crown of your head. The nose tip and a navel are also in one straight line;

c. the tip of a tongue is raised to a palate and touches slightly the alveolar edge (a zone above teeth from the inner side). The tongue root is relaxed;

d. an inner smile. The work will be much more efficient, if to be done in a state of a happy peacefulness. Think of the Sun, giving the light and life, smile yourself. Then relax your forehead, brows, facial muscles and mouth so, that there is no expression left, but keep the smile inside yourself. (Remember the smile of Madonna or happy and tranquil faces of the Egyptian Pharaohs). The relaxation of the cheeks enforces the salivation. The saliva should be swallowed, and following mentally its way down to a stomach, a body should be filled with a happy peacefulness;

e. the eyes look straight forward. A look should be concentrated on a real or imaginary slick just in front of the eyes at a distance of 40-60 cm. The state of peace is the main condition. Just take a good look at the faces of Egyptian Pharaohs: what a spirituality, peacefulness and light happiness can be see in these as if flying faces. It was this expression, that was considered to be a sign of the Wisdom in Ancient Egypt.


PECULIARITIES OF BREATH AND ATTENTION CONCENTRATION If you haven't entered the state of peace and distracted yourself from outside thoughts, the work with the Rods will be less efficient. Moreover, the irritation, anger and thoughts of different troubles may cause and strengthen the headache. It can happen, because the energy follows the mind, and the Rods strengthen the energy flows. The easiest way to calm down thoughts and emotions is by controlling the process of breathing. At first one should try to achieve slow, rhythmical and continuous breath. The next stage consists of so-called "master-rhythm" training: 7 sec. of inhalation, 1 sec. - holding the breath, 7 sec. of exhalation, 1 sec. - holding the breath. This system, as Caucasian "Master-system" says, corresponds with a cardiac (esoteric) center of the Earth. At first, for stable thoughts and breath, one should train to concentrate the attention on a slick in front of him or on the imaginary Sun or Moon, when doing exercises. But it is not necessary to overstrain the eyes, the slick should be observed unclear.
At the next stage one should train the concentration of attention on particular body parts, when process of breathing, and provoke particular color vibrations in these parts by the strength of will. This problem is rather complicated, and it is impossible to solve it without controlling mind, feelings and emotions by one's strong will.
The Caucasian "Master System" marks out 4 aspects of a human essence: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, which are concentrated in the following parts of a human body. They correspond with the color vibrations: physical aspect - red; emotional - yellow; intellectual - blue; spiritual - white.

  • physical aspect - in the lower part of a belly, genitals and back part of a head;
  • emotional aspect - in the upper part of a chest and forehead;
  • intellectual aspect - in the solar plexus, upper part of a belly and in the crown of a head;
  • spiritual aspect - in the arms, palms, legs, feet and face.


STATIC WORK WITH THE RODS Sitting exercises:
Beginner stage Sit down. Hold the Sun Rod in the right hand, Moon Rod in the left hand. Concentrate your attention on the Solar energy, giving life. The breath is continuous and rhythmical. The rhythm of the breath: 7 sec. of inhalation, 1 sec. - pause, 7 sec. of exhalation, 1 sec. - pause. Leave yourself in a condition of happy concentration on creative Solar Energy for 5-15 min. Let your mind, feelings and desires be directed by Love. This act fixes the vital energy by its three forces in the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual balance.
Stage of advanced work At this stage one should train the concentration of attention on particular body parts, when process of breathing, and provoke particular color vibrations in these parts by the strength of will. The conscious use of strong-willed breath in the color vibrations activates the body parts and energetic centers.

Exercise
1 Take a suitable pose, exhale all the air. Inhale during 7 sec., expanding abdominal cavity. Imagine and desire the color of red in the lower part of a belly, genitals and back part of a head, that activates the physical aspect of a human essence. Then, pause for a second. Exhalation during 7 sec. 1 minute pause.
2 Repeat the cycle of breathing for the red color twice more.
3 Continue breathing, expanding only the chest. When exhaling, fix the yellow emotional aspect in the chest and on the forehead by will and mind. Repeat this cycle twice more in the same rhythm: 7-1-7-1.
4 Continue breathing, expanding the chest and the upper part of the belly, fixing the blue intellectual aspect in the solar plexus, diaphragm and on the head crown. Repeat the cycle of breathing for the blue colour twice more.
5 Continue breathing, expanding the chest, diaphragm and belly together. 1 sec. pause. While exhaling for 7 sec., fix the mind and will on the white spiritual aspect in the arms, palms, legs, feet and face. Repeat the cycle of breathing for the white colour twice more in the same rhythm: 7-1-7-1.

The whole exercise:

3 cycles for the red color - 48 sec.;
3 cycles for the yellow color - 48 sec.;
3 cycles for the blue color - 48 sec.;
3 cycles for the white color - 48 sec.
Total: 3 min. 12 sec.
As the "Master System" says, this exercise awakes the oecumenical powers, allows to contact with the higher energies, set the "Master Rhythm" and develops the clairvoyance.
Exercise standing Stand erect, hold the back and neck upright, the arms are straighten along the body and hold the Rods: the Sun Rod is in the right hand, the Moon Rod in the left hand. (Note what type of breath you have - Sun or Moon.)

That is what we can read about it in a manuscript "Mysteries of the Life and Death": "The Breath is the Life. Flowing through nostrils, the breath forms itself in three ways. When going through the right nostril, it creates electricity, that supplies the vascular and motive systems, so called Pingala. The name of this breath is Sun Breath. It is the breath of a warrior, ready to fight. The breath, going through the left nostril is the regulating mother principle, called magnetism. It supplies the sympathetic system, so called Ida. The name of this breath is Moon Breath. It is the breath of a wise man, ready to accept The Wisdom. The breath, going through both nostrils, is the breath of a balance, called Sushumna."

If you are having the Moon Breath at the moment, you should advance your left leg half-step, if it is the Sun Breath - your right leg. The level of the eyes should be fixed according to the basic rules. Exhaling, strain the stomach and chest muscles in order to let all the air out of lungs. Inhale for 7 sec., expanding the belly and raising on the tip toes, squeezing the Rods as strong as possible; 1 sec. pause; exhale for 7 sec., going down on the heels and relaxing the hands with the Rods, charging the lower part of the belly and the back part of the head with the red color by a strong will, fix the mind and desire on the physical aspect of a human essence. 1 sec. pause. Do the same cycles for the red color twice more. Then do three cycles per each color [yellow (emotional), blue (intellectual) and white (spiritual)], fixing the mind and will on the according parts of the body, as in the previous exercise.

The rising on the tip toes when inhaling, and going down on the heels when exhaling, should be smooth and gradual, without any sharp movements. At first one may experience pain in the calves, cased by an unusual tension, but while getting accustomed to it, a great burst of cheerfulness and strength.

As the "Master System" says, this exercise harmonizes the flows of vital energy in a body and develops the unusual abilities. A regular practice of this exercises shifts the organism to a state of a natural readiness to defend and to attack, cased by intensification of attention and intuition. This may happen only if one keeps the rules of nutrition and healthy life style. The "Master System" calls the breath through the left nostril the Moon Breath, and through the right nostril - the Sun Breath, and says, that the Moon Breath "magnetizes and cools", and the Sun Breath "electrifies and warms". The same in Yoga practice the breath through the right nostril is called hot and sunny, provides catabolic and accelerating effect, and the breath through the left nostril is called cold and lunar, provides anabolic, slowing down effect. The main aim of breathing exercises in Yoga is to achieve the balance between catabolic and anabolic processes in a body, and to purify the energetic channels. The signs, proving the successful purification, are the appearing of perspiration and trembling of the body. When the perspiration appears it is recommended to rub the body briskly. This strengthen the organism and causes the feeling of lightness. If the breath is going through one and the same nostril during 24 hours, it is considered to be a dangerous sign, warning about a disease approaching.

The "Master System" recommends using the influence of the breath on a state of mind in the following way: if you need to be ready to act vigorously the next day, you should sleep on the left side. That will activates the Sun Breath through the right nostril; if you need wisdom for important and responsible decisions, you should sleep on the right side. That will activates the Moon Breath through the left nostril.
