Balancing Your T-Bar

[DreamTime]

Okay, for you newbies out there, I will try and explain one of the basics while trying to keep it "basic".  This is from the "Healer's Handbook" but I am rewording it somewhat so as not to step on anyone's toes. :D  Here goes:

The brain is divided into two halves - the left side is the "logic" side (your ego, material and logical or earthly thoughts come from here.  The right side is where you creative, spiritual and emotion are from.  There is a small "gland" in the center of your brain called a "pineal gland."  This gland acts as a balance, and provides harmony and grounding. 

First, take a couple of deep, cleansing breaths (in through your nose, hold a few seconds, then blow out through your mouth).  Close your eyes and focus on a point in the center of your forehead (between your eyes).  After a few seconds (may take longer), you will begin to see an archetype (it may be faint).  There are 3 T-bar archetypes that can be seen depending on your genetic make-up: the capitol "T", the small "t" or cross, or the ankh, a t with a loop on top of it. (Some people may have more than one of these.) All the shapes function the same way - none is better than the other.  As you look at your shape, make sure that the bars are straight and perpendicular to one another.  If they look crooked or twisted, mentally straighten them.  After they are straight, press an imaginary button to "set" it into place. 

You should balance your t-bar every morning and night.  If for some reason you can not see your t-bar, you can imagine a royal blue (the color of your pineal area) circle with a dot in the center.  Center the dot inside the circle.  This has the same effect as balancing your t-bar. 

This exercise should help keep you balanced throughout your day.  It can also help heal, and correct your mind-patterns.

Good Luck.

Here's a link to what the different T-bars look like.

ok, i tried this. first, when i do it, and close my eyes, can i cover my eyes w/ my hands? it seems like the background light of just closing my eyes normal, affect my concentration, and cant seem to keep my eyes shut all the way.

2nd, when you see the t, is it supposed to be a lighter color, or darker? w/ covering my eyes, i wasnt able to see it, but maybe i wasnt concentrating hard enough?

 

and for the royal blue circle, what is my pineal area? and for the dot in the center of that, what color is the dot, and how big of a dot.

sorry, these questions may sound silly, but like i said, i know nothing about this stuff.

ok, i just saw the pics. are the tbars supposed to look blue too?

The t-bars can show up in any color, but the pineal area is a royal blue color.  You don't need to cover your eyes with your hands, you just need to learn how to meditate and block out the distractions.  Try doing it in a darkened room, like when you are lying in bed.  As I said in my first post, the pineal gland/area is in the center of your brain.  Some people call it the "third eye."  Imagine it right above the center of your eyebrows.

ok, ill try again when im in bed. How long do i look at it? just until its straight? then push the "button"?

and when i push the button, do i physically pretend to push a button, or mentally?

No t-bar is best.  Some people have a hyrbid tbar which looks like a combinations of tbar.  it all depends on the genetics, so you must let yourself see the tbar with the eyes closed, concentration at the pineal gland, seeing a field of royal blue, breathing deeply and focusing silently.  Relax enough for the imagination to run.  You will see a shape similiar to a T.  The color of tbar represents your current mood.  If it is slanted, straighten it out so the lines form only 90 degrees.  OR you can center the dot in the circle (the archetype must be in royal blue though). 

You asked how big the archetype is.  The archetype can be as big as your "visual field" allows, just focus your center of gravity at the pineal gland.

You may want to take some cleansing breaths and spin the chakras with more time on the third eye chakra... BEFORE balancing the tbar.  It would help most definitely...  This is what your mom does every morning, I think:  Cleansing breaths > Chakras > Tbar   This is the recommended order.  Also recommended is you balance the tbar at night before sleeping with all lights off.  The room must be very dark so you have no choice but to place all attention on the third eye.  Your visualizations would be more vivid.  And also, because it's night time your mind is more calm showing "random images" with eyes closed.

A good meditation is focusing on the dot in the circle at the center.  Falling asleep with this archetype always result in dreaming.

ok, and what is chakra's? and do i physically pretend to push a button, or mentally.

so sorry to be a nag:(

[SilverInfinity]

do whatever is necessary to play out the script or affirm the tbar/circle is set, won't wobble or weary out.  You can feel yourself push a button or mentally see yourself push a button, whatever sets the affirmation/thought (that this tbar is in place) in action.

i will be posting the chakra exercise in 15 minutes...

So Dragonfly...
   From what I am reading you're exercising the 'Pineal Gland', which is the minds third eye? I am trying to grasp this from a science perspective. The only reason I ask is because this exercise can and would be enhanced dramatically with the removal of any and all light and or sensory deprivation since the mind can generate more melatonin in these situations (which is the function of the Pineal), and in turn strengthen your Pineal and or enter a more intense dream sequence as it enhances the circadium rhythm... artificial induction of melatonin can produce this in the short run but I am pretty sure that would cause more damage in the long run not allowing the pineal it's proper exercise.
