Relaxing Into Oneness, by Emanate Presence. This breathing mantra is a guide for relaxing into a conscious state of oneness. It is meant to be made your own, and practiced at the pace, and in the way, of your choosing. Breathe smoothly and regularly, and take breaths as needed. In the conscious state of oneness, there are no mental concepts. Still your mind, clearing it of thought. Relax your body into a state of receptivity. Deeply relax all your muscles. Begin at your feet, by tightening and releasing. Use whatever means works for you. Release tension, letting it go, allowing muscles to loosen. Move up the legs, relaxing the muscles of your calves. Relax the muscles of your thighs. Move up to the hips. Progress up your body, up through your lower torso, relaxing the inner, and outer, layers of muscle. Continue relaxing, up through your upper torso. Relax down your arms, to your hands, and fingers. Relax the muscles of your shoulders, neck, and face. Now, calm your mind, and relax your body into a deeper state of receptivity. Become aware of your breathing. As you breathe out, say the word, "One", silently to yourself. Feel the yearning of your heart for direct experience with the True Self, the cosmos of consciousness. Connect with yourself as pure, radiant, consciousness. Visualize, with feeling, the present moment sphere encompassing your body. Inhale deeply into your belly, pulling present moment light into the energy sun below your navel. Hum 'One', as you slowly exhale, feeling the vibration of the humming. Feel the relaxing warm energies, radiating through your whole body. Pause, relax, and feel. Inhale deeply, into your chest, pulling present moment light into the sphere around your heart. Hum 'One', as you slowly exhale, feeling the vibration of the humming. Feel the relaxing warm energies, radiating through your whole body. Pause, relax, and feel. Inhale deeply, into the center of your brain, pulling present moment light into your pineal gland.

Feel the relaxing warm energies, radiating through your whole body. Pause, relax, and feel. Feel the cosmos of consciousness. Feel the boundless, radiant, joyous, Union suffusing everything. Feel the immense power of conscious pure potentiality. Feel the ocean of unconditional love, the love for love itself. Feel that in consciousness, you are one with all of these. It is your True Self. Attune your life rhythm to the rhythm of the waves. Now integrate your three breaths into one full breath. Inhale vital life energy into your lower belly, filling your energy sun with vril, inhaling up into your upper lungs, up to the heart center, then seeing the energy lighten the center of your brain, then breathe out smoothly, releasing the air, allowing it to escape naturally, and feeling the vril radiate through your body.

Like the ebb and flow of tide, the rhythm of breathing carries you. Be the breathing, and the One Being, in your everyday life. Continue breathing in this way, for as long as you choose. Remain quietly in position, for several minutes. When you are ready, move and adjust your body for comfort, and smile with appreciation. If this breathing mantra is helpful, please copy it to others.

He responded to my email: ...As you may know, the actual experience of oneness — a oneness that is indescribably fascinating in a limitless myriad of aspects — knows no possibility of boredom, and dwells in a matrix of bliss. At such times, eternal perfection is obvious, and there is not the slightest inclination toward ideation. The flow of your ideas, which may be valid in the dualistic realm, and useful to some, would never even arise in the no-mind state of God consciousness. ...You and I cannot in any way express Reality, and would do well to remember that “ineffable” does not mean “usually not expressable” or “somewhat not capable of being put into words,” but “utterly beyond language.” ...You’re already “there,” there is nothing to achieve. There is no doubt of this. Total relaxation may be the appropriate response, here. You’ve earned it. The only purpose for any of our writings, yours or mine ... is in helping others. As long as we remember, at least sometimes, that there are no others. ❤️ I shared with Bob my posts which include reference to him and the books, and have been humbled and honored by his generous responses. In the '70s, T. Lobsang Rampa, author of 'The Third Eye', and other books on mysticism and metaphysics, wrote in a letter to me that I am an 'eager beaver'. That hasn't changed. One of the first things I did after soaking in Bob's email was to do a search on relaxation. The first books that came up in my search were on the 'relaxation response' by Herbert Benson, M.D. I had not heard of his work before, but was intrigued to learn that his 'Steps to Elicit the Relaxation Response' were derived from his research on Transcendental Meditation. In the winter of 1970-71, three high school classmates and I drove through a Colorado snowstorm, up to a log cabin in Rocky Mountain National Park — where we sat across from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, while I interviewed him for the school newsletter. I did not get involved with Transcendental Meditation, but now, fifty years later, found it natural to weave a revised version of the 'Steps to Elicit the Relaxation Response' into a new breathing mantra called 'Relaxing Into Oneness'. I don't consider my experiences to be special or important, but share the memories for their relevance to this post. 🙏 In 'Unconsciously Freeing the Body', Dr. Brown Landone, a neurologist (1847-1945), describes the issue of inner tensity, the constriction of inner muscles, which can last for years and hinders the flow of spirit. I know well this inner tensity, from my own experience. Landone provides specific instruction for freeing the body. From his work, and my musing, I gleaned that 'soul is limited only by mental concepts', 'thought increases inner tensity', 'love is the free flow of energy', 'love moves in waves', 'spirit moves in spirals', 'thought moves in straight lines', and 'direct experience with oneness decreases inner tensity.' From all these sources and more, I understand (though not perfectly) some characteristics of the individuated and oneness states of consciousness, to help distinguish them. The individuated state of dualism includes ego and personality, a sense of separateness. It enables unique, individual experience and is often dominated by intellectual, analytical thought, emotions, and self-centered will. Nothing is wrong. The oneness state 'dwells in a matrix of bliss', where 'eternal perfection is obvious, and there is not the slightest inclination toward ideation'. 🌞 Bob Berman wrote, regarding my efforts to find or make a way to sustain a direct experience of the cosmos of consciousness, 'Total relaxation may be the appropriate response, here.' My effortless efforts are aimed without aim at a higher human functioning of moving consciously between individuated and oneness experiences of consciousness. While my writing may not make all this sound like much fun, due to over-seriousness still to be overcome by relaxing, every step of this journey towards experienced oneness is for me deep-felt joy. Such joy, I see, can carry a person through the challenges of a troubled world. The breathing mantra, 'Relaxing Into Oneness', is proving an effective means of entering a state of direct experience with oneness. The duration of the experience extends with continued practice.
