Tis appendix is an introduction to the book: ESOTERIC HEALING by Alan Hopking. It contains essential information and overviews on the principles of Eso-
teric Healing and the most important centers used in Esoteric Healing. Te study of the whole book, which contains much more information, is very important to
deepen the insights, understanding and applicatiton of Esoteric Healing.
Te three laws of health
1. Te law controlling the will to live. Tis involves the First Aspect of Will and Power (Father, Shiva, Life, Spirit). Tis law controls the respiratory system.
2. Te law controlling the quality of rhythm. Tis involves the Second Aspect of Love and Wisdom (Son, Vishnu, Quality, Consciousness). It controls the
cardiovascular and nervous systems.
3. Te third law controlling crystallisation. Tis involves the Tird Aspect of Active Intelligence (Holy Spirit, Brahma, Matter, Appearance). Te law controls the
metabolic system (the organs of assimilation and excretion)
Ref 1
.
Happiness is a constant fow of successive adjustments that results in growth: the assimilation of ever expanding experience.
Disease is a result of an inhibited fow of Soul energy to the body. It is a process of liberation, for by taking on a disease, a person opens up to greater Soul awareness-
an aspect of consciousness not in expression at the time
Ref 2
.
True healing
From the esoteric standpoint, true healing, healing that will change a persons life and inner motivation, can only happen when the Soul of the patient is involved.
It is seldom sudden, for it involves change and adjustment and reorientation from within. It calls upon the person to make decisions from within, decisions which
the Soul wants, not what the little personality desires. True healing will often entail new habits of the body, nutritional change, and changes with regard to the bodys
ftness, types of entertainment and relaxation. All these are infuenced from within by esoteric healing, not imposed on the patient from without.
Meditation
It is considerd a prerequisite that someone who wishes to practise esoteric healing should meditate regularly. While this book is not about meditation, to practice hea-
ling in the way described in the book, meditation is not only recommended but essential.
Te use of thought in healing
Spiritual healers do not work with the consciousness aspect of the patient. Tey work entirely with the life aspect
Ref 3
. Te life force works through the Heart center,
utilising the bloodstream (love), while the consciousness aspect works through the brain, using the nervous system (will). To heal, we have to create a healing thought-
form
Ref 4
. Te function of every thoughtform is threefold:
a. To respond to vibration
b. To provide a body for an idea.
c. To carry out a specifc purpose
Ref 5
.

Tought is the carrier for love, the engine, which is the quality of the energy used in the healing thoughtform. We are truly working with the law of Magnetic Impul-
se. With every healing done from Soul level, we lift the whole of humanity
Ref 6
. In fact, disease and healing are both aspects of the great relationship system which
governs all manifestation
Ref 7
. Tis is something to refect on.
Te Vital Force in the Body
With the incoming of the Seventh Ray (the Aquarian Age) we can now heal through the whole etheric body (without needing to touch the physical components,
since the etheric is the template of the dense physical body). Te seventh ray is gaining strength and impact. It is with this understanding that we undertake to study
and practice the science and art of esoteric healing. Hence it is fundamental to become more acquainted with the etheric body.
Te etheric body is a great network of energy weaving through and around the physical body. It is the vital force which maintains the activity of every function of
the body. It is the cause and process of the interacting cellular movements in the body. If there is a withdrawal of vitality, atrophy and faccidity results. If, on the other
hand, too much energy is pouring through to a limb, for instance, tetany or tension occurs. A balanced, rhythmical fow through and round the body is the goal of
healing. To achieve the goal, however, may require techniques extremely complex, detailed and subtle. But the purpose is the same: to bring about homeostasis
(balance) in the body tissues. In this way the etheric body is able to vitalise the physical body. Te etheric body is the refection of the Soul, formed by the Soul of each
cell in the body merged as one. It is in this energy feld that we work and gain vital information about the patient on the diferent levels of their being.
Magnetic and Radiatory Healing
Esoteric healing deals primarily with two activities controlling energy, namely, magnetism and radiation. What do these two mean?
Magnetism
A healer must be magnetic above everything else. He must attract:
1. Te power of his own Soul.
2. Tose whom he can help.
3. Tose energies, when need arises, which will stimulate the patient to the desired activity
Ref 8
.
Radiation
Te healer must understand also how to radiate, for the radiation of the Soul will do the following:
1. Stimulate to activity the Soul of the one to be healed thus setting in motion the healing process.
2. Te radiation of the healers mind will illumine the other mind and polarise the will of the patient.
3. Te radiation of the healers emotional or astral body, controlled and selfess, will impose a rhythm upon the agitation of the patients astral body, and so enable the
patient to take right action, while the radiation of the healers vital body, working through the Spleen center, will aid in organising the patients force body or etheric
body
Ref 9
.
Radiatory healing is brought about by linking the Soul with the brain and the Heart center (see rule 5 Triangles: Open the Magnetic Healing triangle), then mingling
the two auras on all three levels, both of them responsive to Soul contact. Te Soul energy of the patient is then directed by the healers Soul towards that aspect of the
patients physical body needing healing. Tis process is said to occur consciously or unconsciously.
Radiation is tangible substance and potency, producing efects.... Joy is the most powerful impulse behind the right kind of radiation
Ref 10
.
Magnetic healing involves emanations from the etheric vehicle. Magnetic stimulation of the physical atom emanates from man on astral levels and later from Buddhic

levels, the levels of inclusive love
Ref 11
.
When a healer works magnetically and radiates his Soul force to the patient, that patient is enabled more easily to achieve the end desired - which may be complete
healing, or it may be the establishing of a state of mind which will enable the patient to live with himself and with his complaint, unhandicapped by the karmic
limitations of the body
Ref 12
.
Esoteric Healing defned
Esotetic Healing is an Art and a science calling for the use of the mind, but not the emotions, in the service of the intuition, for the purpose of transforming matter with
life energies to bring about change that will benet the whole.
For completeness I would like to add the following more esoteric defnition: Esoteric Healing is the release of the Soul so that its life can ow through the aggregate of
organisms which constitute any particular form
Ref 13
.
Esoteric Healing is an Art
Tis simply indicates that the use of this form of healing is a practical skill, and yet is not fxed or predetermined. Each time a new picture is started, it is diferent. Art
relates to intuition, and intuition to Love.
Esoteric Healing is a science
Esoteric healing, as a science, is objective; the healer does not intend to be involved in the result. Te healer wants to do the work and then leave the impact to cause
a response in the patient. Esoteric healing, however objective, changes the healer as well, although not in the same way as it does the patient. Te changes are diferent
and impersonal, and so they can be called objective. In this way we can see that esoteric healing is a science, since it relates to the mind and to individually woven
thinking patterns.
Esoteric Healing uses the Mind but not the Emotions
In esoteric healing we do not work from the desires and fears of the patient. We have no interest in psychic phenomena and regard it as an interference which the
work of healing is better without. Te esoteric healing practitioner believes the emotions and psychic states he might experience from contact with a patient to be
illusions that are to be avoided. Intelligent intent lies behind all wise direction of energy. In this way the patient will not be bombarded with our desires and hopes.
Instead, the patient will sense clarity, a feeling of purpose and direction, either immediately or over time.
Esoteric Healing uses the Mind in the Service of the Intuition
By tapping into intuition, the esoteric healer believes he or she can work with the causes of the problem or illness which is being presented. The intuition is the
diagnostic tool. The healer is totally self-reliant. The Soul is an initiate; the Soul is a master. There is no need for intermediaries, guides, and inner teachers.
There is no doubt that such guides exist on the subtle planes, but they are not reliable. Mostly they are promoters of glamour or personal aggrandisement in a

disguised manner. Esoteric healing and the esoteric healer works from the Soul plane or Soul dimension. Tus in healing, the healer aspires always to remain in touch
with the Soul.
For the Purpose of Transforming Matter with Life Energies
To be a healer means working with the subtle energies and forces which surround and permeate the patient from the level of the Soul as refected in the etheric body.
Te esoteric method of healing is based on selfessness and harmlessness and thus it handles and transforms the rate and rhythm of the patients energies (according to
the will of the patients Soul), not for the healers advantage but for that of the patient.
To bring about Change which will benet the Whole
Tis stage, the last part of the treatment, brings about healing. Te esoteric healing practitioner is not actually trying to cure or willing to cure. Te patient and the patient
alone, directed by the wisdom of the Soul, permits the healing.
What is an Etheric Center?
Etheric centers or chakras are points where the lines of force composing the etheric body cross each other, thus forming vortices of energy. Tere are seven major cen-
ters with three other centers regarded as of major importance (making ten centers), forty-nine minor centers (twenty-one of which are more important) and hundreds
of lesser or minute centers. Te healer has to think clearly before bringing about the desired results, but the energy poured out into the patients vehicle is not mental
energy, but one of the seven forms of pranic or life energy. Tis travels along the lines of forces or the channel which relates and links all the centers and connects
those centers whith the glands
Ref 14
. Terefore, we see energy fowing from the centers into the denser channels called nadis which underlie the nervous system as a
whole (the consciousness stream), and via the endocrine glands into the blood stream via hormones (the life stream). But remember the healer only works with the life
aspect (not the consciousness aspect), endeavouring to work through the very heart of the center where the point of life is to be found.
Te importance of the endocrine gland(s) cannot be overestimated. Tey are a miniature replica of the septenary constitution of the universe and are the medium of
expression and the instrument of contact for the seven ray forces. Te Master DK confrms that the medicine and the healing methods of the future civilisation will
be built around this still unrecognised truth. In all our work as esoteric healers and as servers in the world of causes for the betterment of humanity, we must remem-
ber that we are working with the science of energies (called the science of occultism) and that this will eventually lead to what is called the science of Laya Yoga or the
esoteric science of the force centers
Ref 15
. So we are called on to respect the human energy felds we enter: they are intricate, delicate and intimate, deeply personal and
karmically sensitive.
Te etheric body in the human being:
Is the symbol of the Soul. Is the physical correspondence to the inner light body, which we call the Soul body or Causal body. Is a body of light. Has a rate of
vibration that always synchronises with the development of the Soul. Is the microcosmic web of life, for it underlies every part of the physical structure. Enables
the Soul to be en rapport with the environment. Is indivisible, coherent and unifed, symbolising the unity and homogeneity of Life or Energy. Tere are no separa-
ted organisms in the etheric vehicle. Links the purely physical with the purely subtle, just as the Soul links the three worlds of the personality - that is, the physical,
emotional end mental - to the higher planes in the solar system. Is symbolised by the fve-pointed Star.

Base center
Average person Ray VII Te Sanskrit name is Muladhara. Tis center is a 4 petalled lotus.
Disciple Ray I Te res of the animal plane are centralised in the base center.
(Ref 16)
Initiate Ray IV It is found on the fourth ether of every plane.
(Ref 17)
Te Base center governs elimination, emotional, mental and spiritual.
Te Base center controls the adrenal glands. Tey are chiey responsible for regulating the stress response (ght,
fright and ight) through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines, including cortisol (glucose balance)
and adrenaline (sodium balance).
Te Base center is the harbor of our unconscious fears and instincts for survival as well as for success and achievement
(ambition).
Te Base center governs the legs (e.g. specically the knees to ee with), as well as the spine.
In fact the Base center governs the whole skeletal system.
Te Base center controls the kidneys as well, and rules the skin, the hair, sinews - the scar folding of the body.
Te Base center has a special relation to the Spleen center.
(Ref 18)
Te Base center controls the smell.
Te elemental being of the physical body is in the Base center.
(Ref 19)
Te kundalini sleeps in the Base center.
Tis chakra comes into its true functioning activity when two major fusions have been eected:
that of the the fusion of the three bodies into one coordinated personality, and when Soul and body are at-oned.
(Ref 20)

At the rst initiation or expansion of consciousness, man consciously connects with the will of his
intelligence and he discovers the light of his true nature.
(Ref 21)
Ray I, the fth initiation of Revelation and the Base center are all connected.
(Ref 22)
Te purpose of the Base center is to give order to the person, to arrange the persons life so that there is a reason for
living and a right to life.

Sex glands
Sacral center
Average person Ray III Tis center is governed by the Moon (linked to Saturn).
Disciple Ray IV Tis center is a eight petalled lotus.
Initiate Ray VII Tis center controls the gonad glands and the whole reproductive system
including the breasts.
Te male and female gonads produce steroid sex hormones, identical to those produced by adrenal cortical cells. Te major
distinction is the source and relative amounts produced.
Te male gonads, known as the testicles, secrete the class of hormones called androgens, and produce spermatozoa. Te
predominant androgen in males is testosterone. Te female gonads, known as the ovaries, secrete the hormones estrogen
and progesterone, as well as ova. Te dominant estrogen is known as estradiol, which is derived from testosterone.
Sacral energies govern also all the uids of the body, including blood, lymph, semen, amnion uid, mucus and urine,
which relates the center to the kidneys as well. Tis center, along with the Base center, governs the legs (specically the hips
and feet). All cancers are due to misappropriated sex energy.
Te sacral energy has mainly to do with self-perpetuation, so it has a powerful attractive or magnetic quality towards its
complementary opposite.
Sacral energy gives a person vitality and attractiveness.
Te Sacral center is the origin also of the sense of superiority or inferiority.
Tis center also governs personal education and family responsibility, a greater sense of impersonality leading to the sense
of group life.
Once the Sacral center is correctly led up to the Troat center, the creative process is transformed into Sound Toughts
and pure Speech.
(Ref 23)
Its relation to the Troat center connects it to the True.
Te failure of the personality to respond and its inability to express the True, is to be seen as the failed alignment between
these two centers.
(Ref 24)
All separation, division, polarity and opposition is said to have underlying sacral inuences.
Te Sacral center has a particular relation to the Etheric body as a whole. In this sphere we are called upon to function
adequately in response to the life of the Soul (on higher levels, to the life of the planetary Logos).
(Ref 25)

Center of Ray III Its central force feld is at the back of the etheric body, close to and connected to the physical
spleen.
Te Spleen center is a double minor center, i.e. one center superimposed on the other. Tese two vortices have six-petals
each, making it a twelve-petalled lotus, linking it to the other twelve-petalled lotuses (heart, heart in the head, soul lotus,
planetary heart, etc.) but giving it a massive twenty-eightfold energy structure (more powerful even than the main centers).
Other minor centers are formed by fourteen energy crossings over one point.
It is via the spleen that the negative or receptive life energy of matter and the living energy of the positive etheric body are
brought together, and then a spark, as it is called, is made between the physical plane and the inner living bodies of man
(through the medium of the etheric body).
(Ref 26)
Te Spleen center assimilates the energy or nervous force ofen referred to as planetary prana, which is to be distinguished
from the individualised life force. Te incoming prana rises to the Heart center.
Te Spleen center which governs the working of the body, i.e., the amount of life-force available in the body, just as the
liver center, a minor center close to the liver, governs how the body works, i.e., how smoothly or erratically the organs
function.
Prana varies in vibration and quality according to the receiving entity. Probably 90% of patients at this time sufer
depletion of this energy.
Esoterically, the Spleen center is directly connected with the ANTAHKARANA (a bridge from the personality
consciousness to the Soul).
(Ref 27)
Te Spleen center is also linked with the pituitary gland (see the Immortality Triangle), a clue as to its place in the head
centers.
Te Splenic energy is consciously difused to all the centers. When its correspondence in the Crown center is activated, it
becomes an agent of occult healing; through it, the healer, by an act of the will, absorbs the prana and vitality from the
ethers and then breathes it out again upon the patient to be healed by an act of compassionate healing.
(Ref 28)
To keep the Spleen center in good condition absorb pranic energy from the sun (through sunlight, sun-riped foods, fruit,
nuts and cereals, fresh air from forest and coasts, and sleeping with a window open at night), as well as move the emotional
body by high aspiration, keep open to the downfow of force from the causal and intuitional levels, and keep the mental life
intense, vibrant, and animated by powerful will.

Pancreas gland
Solar Plexus energy governs
the emotional body. Center for

to the higher centers.
Solar Plexus
Average person Ray II
Disciple Ray V
Initiate Ray VI

It is primarily a center for transferring energies upwards to the higher centers. As it does this, certain elements with it can
lock onto certain ideas, thoughtforms and processes, resulting in the problem of glamour.
In their eort to control the astral body, aspirants often resort to a process of direct inhibition and suppression, resulting in
the Solar plexus becoming a great reservoir of drastically retained energy.
(Ref 30)
What is required, rather, is the transmutation of the emotions into aspiration, altruistic devotion, as well as love and
directed control.
Te Solar plexus center dominates the whole of the digestive system.
Te Solar plexus energy governs the emotional body. It gives us animal instincts and rules desires.
Te center reacts without thoughts. Tis can be good or bad, so that the person in a blind fury does things they later
regret. Solar plexus energy can be overwhelming.
When the Heart center is in balance and in control, the nature of the Solar plexus center is revealed.
Te Solar plexus center is a great receiving center in preparation for transferring energy from below the diaphragm to the
centers above where the eects of personality are not so important. Te elemental being of the astral body expresses its life
through the Solar plexus center, whose energies are later transferred to the Heart center.
(Ref 31)
A person in the process of this upward transmutation is developing the seven virtues (humility, kindness,
abstinence/temperance, chastity, patience, liberality, diligence)

Average person Ray I Te Heart center is a twelve petalled lotus.
Disciple Ray VI
Initiate Ray II

Te feeling consciousness of the soul is focussed through the Heart center. Tis center anchors the life stream from the
monad. Esoterically, the heart of the lotus thrills with life between the third and fourth month after conception.
(Ref 32)

Its energy ows from the second subplane of each plane and from the love petals of the causal lotus.
(Ref 33)
Te thymus is particularly active during childhood, including two things: rst, that the Heart center is open during
babyhood (till eighteen months it breaks down mothers milk) and throughout the stage of growing up (from two to
twelve years) it helps to develop the sex glands, working with the Sacral center open to instruction about compassion and
true love; second, so that the parents can gently train the child into the ways of decency, politeness, respect and love; this is
the hearts need for right discipline.
During puberty the inuence of the Heart center on the solar plexus determine how it might react in adult life. Otherwise,
controlling the Solar plexus will be that more dicult to attain.
Te Heart center, whose twelve petals link it with the heart center of the planet, with the Planetary Hierarchy or fth
kingdom, governs the heart and circulatory system. It is also closely connected to the lungs and respiration as well as to the
spleen.
Te Heart center also governs the immune system and the lymphatic glands of the body. Love is the coherent force which
makes all things whole.
(Ref 34)
Te Heart center is the controller of spiritual work, group activity and interaction. It is the organ of fusion and inclusiven-
ess (while the Crown center is the organ of synthesis).
Immunodeciency and autoimmune diseases can be helped via the Heart center. Impersonal relationships and the sense of
inclusiveness aect this centers activity.
(Ref 35)
Te heart starts functioning after the second initiation, where one ceases to think solely as an individual and in addition
becomes attuned to group consciousness. It then acts as a distribution center of hierarchical energy via the soul. In this
connection the heart is the exit at death for aspirants and for men and women of goodwill.
(Ref 36)
Tis center is closely
linked with the Ajna center, and, as the Heart center becomes fully alive, so the Ajnas gland - the pituitary body - enters
into activity.
Te heart appears to pump but actually it is simply the result of the rhythmical action ot the vital force on the bloodstream
as a whole. For it is the interaction of the heart, the blood stream and the nervous system that controls the assimilation of
prana, or life energy, into the spleen from the etheric body.
Tose who are more mentally polarised in their lives and those who are on a spiritual path that involves
intelligence and reason (without emotion and devotional feelings) are often prone to heart complaints.
(Ref 37)
People who are governed by the laws and rituals and repetition in their lives have problems and diseases of the blood
stream. It is interesting to note that the Heart center and heart organ are governed by the ray of love (Ray II), and that the
circulatory system is governed by the ray of ritual and magic (Ray VII), the two primary rays of healing among the
seven.
(Ref 38)

VAGUS NERVE CENTER
Average person Ray III Te Vagus nerve center has fourteen petals.
Disciple Ray VI
Initiate Ray II
Tis center can be said to be the most advanced of the minor centers, not so much in its vibratory status (for in this case
the Alta Major center in the head is greater, nor yet in its highest development, for here the Spleen center is greater), but in
the sense of its purpose, action and usefulness.
Te Vagus nerve center reigns supreme for those who are entering the path of the Spirit, those people who have deter-
mined that they want to develop along the lines that evolution has laid down or predetermined. For the aspiring disciple,
one still lacking in complete soul control and monadic direction, this center begins to have a major infuence on life.
(Ref 39)
It is a call, nally, to group service (heart).
Tis center is not found in the etheric spine, like the major centers, but is further inside the etheric body, near the thymus
gland.
(Ref 40)
Te healer can locate it between the shoulder blades, with its precipitation just above the heart and thymus gland, and on
the vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve.
Te physical nerve travels down from the brain to the heart and lungs, then to the digestive organs.
Te vagus nerve, having its origin in the medulla oblongata, is also connected with the Alta major center. It is largely
autonomic in its function.
For the disciple not under direct monadic control, it is the major pathway for information ltering down through the head
centers. Te spine takes up this function after the third initiation.
It seems plausible that the Alta major center uses the vagus nerve to regulate immune response, since the latter is
connected with the Heart center and is subservient to it (being related to its pranic function).
Like the spleen, the Vagus nerve center is currently the main center for the reception of prana, and forms a radiant etheric
triangle (see, the Pranic Triangle), which is the originating impulse for pranic circulation in the body.
(Ref 41)
Tere is an important triangle connected with this center, called the Kundalini Triangle; the energy points are the Crown
center, the Heart center and the Base center.
(Ref 42)
Tere are three interconnecting regulators which control or fail to control the physical body:
1. Te etheric body through the seven major centers and the minor centers.
2. Te endocrine system through the seven major glands.
3. Te nervous system, and particularly the vagus nerve with its eect on the heart and the blood stream.

Average person Ray IV Te Troat center is a sixteen petalled lotus.
Disciple Ray III Tis center is the highest in the etheric spine.
Initiate Ray V

As the life of discipleship proceeds, certain of the petals rise to sound in the two ears, in the medulla oblongata and in
the carotid of the Alta major center.
(Ref 43)
Apart from having a direct inuence over the whole respiratory tract, this center governs the entire
digestive system from mouth to anus.
(Ref 44)
Te creative consciousness of the indwelling soul is focussed in the Troat center.
(Ref 45)
In an act of criticism, or if someone has real hatred for another, this negative energy is absorbed by the Troat center
and ows like a river of nails into the Solar plexus center where the rst symptoms of gasterointestinal disease will
manifest.
(Ref 46)
Where there is any physical weakness or limitation, there will be found the localisation of the projected poison
(D.Ks italics).
(Ref 47)
Voiced or silent criticism can seriously distort the Troat center and aect other centers in its
contagiousness. It must be rooted out before group work is to be undertaken. Gall stones are a denite indication of
criticism.
Te great inuence of the Troat center is over the lungs and respiratory system along with the ears and the vocal
apparatus. Te creative or destructive weaving of sound is controlled by the Troat center.
In this act, it is closely connected with the Heart center, for the Troat center governs the actual air intake, the act of
respiration; and the Heart center controls the point of absorption of oxygen into the blood and release of carbon
dioxide to the lungs, the so - called blood - air exchange. Asthma, bronchitis,
respiratory diseases - all are related to Troat center malfunction. And since the Troat will become the clearing house
for transferring energy of the lower centers into the Crown center as we advance in
spiritual life, we need to take extra care of our thoughts and words.
(Ref 48)
Te Troat center inuences the shoulders, arms and hands. Just as the Sacral center functions to create the physical
life through regeneration, so the Troat center, the Sacrals higher correspondence, is
activated by higher creativity and controls the adaptability of thoughts and ideas.
Astral instability, a problem of the Troat center occurs when higher creativity is not properly channelled from the
Sacral center, leading to perversion of the sex function, what DK describes as ancient evil predisposing habits.
(Ref 49)
Here we nd the condition, homosexuality, and its connection to Lemuria.
Te Troat center is the genuine guardian of our health, the sentry on the bridge between the head and the body.
Te Troat center promotes self-awareness by directing our lives toward the helping and lifting of our fellow humans,
via understanding, cooperation and constructiveness.
Politicians and educators are both strongly inuenced by this center, and, interestingly, the Troat center governs the
whole eld of science.
(Ref 50)

ALTA MAJOR CENTER
CHAKRA

Inuenced by Ray III Alta Major is a minor center but functions as a major center.
Te throat center connects with it at the moment that the Antahkarana is starting to be built.
Alta Major is connected with the Carotid body, which monitors oxygen content in the blood and controls
respiration.
(Ref 51)
Strong inuence of the Troat center. When Alta Major is fully developed, it forms a communication center between
vital energy of the spinal column (KUNDALINI) and the energy of the two head centers (Crown and Ajna).
Alta Major is the physical correspondence to the Antahkarana.
(Ref 52)
Alta Major has powerful link with cerebellum (voluntary muscle movements), medulla oblongata (breathing, heart rate
and blood pressure = also connections with Troat- and Heart center) and spine.
Alta Major development leads to an acquired and conscious control of ones dharma or Soul work on earth.
It has the power to bring down intuitive vision into consciousness. It is the healers conscious link with the Higher
Mind.
Trough the Alta Major center the Spiritual Will of the Crown center is balanced.
Alta Major center is particularly related to sleep and to the working out of past experiences in sleep.
It is helpful to go to sleep with the consciousness gently focussed in the Ajna center.

AJNA or BROW CENTER
Average person Ray V Referred to as Tird eye, but only opens when the Alta Major
Disciple Ray VII center, Head center and Ajna center are in synchronous vibration.
Initiate Ray III Ajna center precipitates into the pituitary body which controls all other
glands.
It is the seat of personality power.
(Ref 53)

Ajna center has strong links with Hypothalamus,which governs the autonomic system.
Ajna is ruled by the Monadic plane.
(Ref 54)
It is an organ of idealism.
Ajna controls the expression of the personality and grounds and distributes the spiritual energy of the Soul.

When the Ajna center is active, it has a twofold ow, inward and outward.
Te outward ow enables a healer to have inner vision and perception concerning the patients underlying condition and
then to creatively work to correct it.
Te inward ow of the Ajna is utilised when the healer is balancing the centers.
Linked to Alta major center, the Ajna center controls Cerebellum (muscular action) and the central nervous system.
Ajna center has 3 sections
1. Upper Ajna (related to front pituitary lobe > 7 hormones) governing all centers in the body, their endocrine glands
and expression through the circulatory system and heart. Has power to Visualise.
(Ref 55)
2. Middle Ajna (related to pituitarys stalk) has 5 points related to major centers of spine (see diagnosis).
(Ref 56)
3. Lower Ajna (related to back pituitary lobe) governing central nervous system with a special relation to
Alta major center and Troat center. In the back pituitary lobe the reasoning mind has its seat
(Ref 57)
and through it we
express desire in its highest form.
(Ref 58)
Te Ajna is the most important center in magnetic healing. Its powerful energy is always transferred to the etheric body of
the patient via the hand minors of the healer.
Ajna embodies the idea lying behind the act of creativity. Te organ of creativity itself is the Troat center.
Ajna fuses the creative energies of the throat and the sublimated energies of desire or true Love of the Heart.
In the Higher Healer working according to the Inner Plan, the Ajna center becomes the directing agent or the distributor
of the blended energies of the Divine Man.
(Ref 59)

Pineal gland
Average person Ray VI From the heart of this many petalled lotus issues a ame of re having
Disciple Ray II the basic hue of a persons soul ray. Tis ame mounts upward and
Initiate Ray I attracts downward a sheet of electric light, which is the downow from
the Spirit on the highest plane.
(Ref 60)
Te mental consciousness of the indwelling Soul is focussed in the Head center,
(Ref 61)
which itself is
controlled by the Logoic plane.
(Ref 62)
Te Crown center controls the will and destiny of the Soul in incarnation, directs all the other centers and links one to
ones Higher Self.
It is developed chiey through meditation.
Tis center is also known as the thousand-petalled lotus ower.
Te energy of the Crown center ows in from the top of the head via the fontanel and precipitates in the pineal gland,
producing melatonin.
Melatonin has an inuence over the circadian biorhythms of our lives.
Te gland is aected by light, possibly because it has a pigment similar to that in the retina of the eye.
Te usefulness of the Crown center only becomes apparent when the person has developed a certain degree of wisdom,
discrimination and spiritual integrity.
Te Crown center anchors the consciousness stream from the causal lotus on the Soul level.
Tere are, under or within the range of the highest Crown center, seven head centers, which are synthesised after the
fourth initiation (not including the 3 major centers which we know to be pineal, pituitary and carotid). Head
center=upper brain (cortex); Ajna center=lower brain; Troat center=medulla; Heart center=third ventricle; Solar
plexus center=hypothalamus; Sacral center=thalamus; Base center=cerebellum.
Te Crown center governs the cerebrum (main part of thinking brain matter) and the right eye.
If this center should be over stimulated, epilepsy, headaches, migraines, and growths in the brain tissue could form or
neurosis become apparent.
Te Crown center only comes into conscious function when the Kundalini res have risen signicantly and the person
is highly developed spiritually, morally and philosophically.
Students often confuse working with the Soul with working with the Crown center.
