The first Gateway that we must strengthen is the Base Gateway. Located at the lowest most point of the pelvis, when seated on the ground as shown, the Base Gateway is directly in contact with the ground. This is fitting, as it is the point where the simplest, but most important, vibrational state comes into the student. The Internal state is the drive to exist. It is the foundation upon which all of life grows.
This is where we all start on our journey, and where we must all face our first obstacle: fear. When we all begin to expand our understanding of the world, and that which lies beneath the physical, we each must come face to face with this fear. Often, we fear delusion. Other times, we may be fearful of what we will find once we activate this first Gateways. Sometimes, we fear rejection from our family and peer group, should this step change us in ways they do not understand. These are all perfectly normal concerns, but we have nothing to fear from better learning the source of our being.
You will also be faced with your own savagery. This is the source of our animalistic need to survive. This savagery is not inherently a bad thing to have, but as with all aspects on this journey into the self, it must be assimilated, and controlled. Always remember, we do not gain control over something by denying it, or attempting to lock it away. We must experience it to truly gain full faculty over ourselves.
Practicing this seated will help to aid in the connection in the beginning stages of training, but this exercise can also be done seated in a chair, or even standing. The hands are held at approximately waist level, palms facing down, fingers pointed towards one another. This flat plane represents the foundation of our being, and the ground upon which we sit, stand, live, and rest. Next, feel for the space between the fingers. There is a space where we may initially feel a draw pulling the fingers gently towards each other, or a pressure push against them. This is the Force flowing between your hands. If you don’t initially feel it, there is no reason to be alarmed.
Feel your palms radiating energy, like a swirling cloud of deep red fog. Let the clouds grow around each hand until they blend together into one large collection of swirling red energy. Feel this same energy swirling in the Base Gateway, both drawing in energy from the ground, and bleeding it down back into the ground at the same time. Sit in this state for several minutes once you achieve the visualization and sensation.
Let the cloud at your hands bleed out into the energy around you, mixing with the energy cycling through your Base Gateways. Allow what images you may see come, and fade at their own time and pace. Do not attempt to force a visual to appear, or to go. This is the rawest form of yourself, one so simple and pure that you may not recognize it as part of you.
Practice this exercise for at least two weeks before moving onto the next mudra, and be sure to journal your experiences as they come.
