Matt – I am so pleased you tried the breathing meditation. But I realised that I have never written about the full meditation – nowhere. So I will try to give you a description as far as is possible.
When I first did the meditation I taught it in classes, and soon found that people got a lot of movement and pleasure from it. So I began to explore it further by myself and found it went into a sort of dance.
What I found as the inner warmth or fire developed it started to not only reach out to others with the energy that was released – I imagined my warmth reaching out to others, and then I open to receive energy and love from others. As this developed I noticed that the flow started to want to rise up and I allowed my hands and arms allow it.
Of course when the movements of opening, giving and receiving got into action, and the rising up, the next thing was it wanted to complete the cross. So it became the warmth in me awakening and reaching out to others. Then the rising upwards to go beyond me, and then the descent of what was received from above. The arms were now dancing upwards, downwards and sideways in a wonderful flowing movement. I felt I was lifting energy up from my roots to the heavens, and then from the heavens down to bless the earth – and of course spreading the wonder of it out and receiving back. And as this was happening my inner feelings soared and lifted, received and gave with it, and were stimulated by it.
I called it the dance of Agni.
