sponging question

[brent]

In the NEW methods, one is taught to sponge the energy up and down different parts of the body, I dont necessarily understand how to apply method. Is one feeling a dry or wet sponge sensation moving in certain parts? Thanks, Brent

In the original literature, you are to imagine having a sponge, getting it wet with cool clean water, and squeeze it until it's humid-wet. Then you are to imagine your limb (let's say the leg, for example) is hollow and transparent, and you are cleaning the inside of it, running it through the limb until it's "clean". This is usually done after brushing, which is using an imaginary brush and running it over your skin. Brushing is on the outside surface, sponging is done in the inside of the limb.
Nowadays Robert has replaced the sponge with a "blue energy ball" but I like the tactile effect of the sponge best.

I think i might try the practices with the blue energy ball method, is there a certain feeling that goes with it. Is there any more info on it on the site. Thanks alot, Brent

Other than things we've written in the forum, Robert's updated techs can be found here, especially lesson eight.

For a more comprehensive look at energy work in general, read this. http://www.astraldynamics.com.au/showthread.php?4990-Varying-sensations-to-be-expected-in-Energy-Work
I had written a small tutorial called "A Primer on Sponging", but I don't know if it made it in the transition.

Hello CFT,

Just for clarification are we to also imagine hollow legs with the energy ball? I have not actually done this as I remember reading somewhere that it is very important to energize the real physical aspects of your body and especially the skeletal structure. Is this not accurate?

The 'hollow' image is a device to bring home the idea that you are running the ball/sponge/whatever object through the limb and not over it- if you think that not thinking of the bone makes you somehow miss it, you can also imagine the bone being there, and even it being transparent, and sponging the inside of it also- or just a general 'scrubbing through'.
So whatever works, do it.
Or imagine the limb as solid, and the ball as transparent- whatever gets the job done.

Thank you CF and sorry it took so long to answer back I have been so very busy.
