• NEW History

    This article gives some background history on how I discovered body awareness tactile imaging energy work.

    New Energy Ways (NEW for short) is an Energy Body Manipulation & Development System, with strong self-healing side-effects. It concentrates mainly on the smaller (secondary) energy centres and (tertiary) energy exchange ports of the energy body, for development purposes. By working on these, life energy flow into the body is greatly stimulated and energy flow progressively increases. Energy conduits and pathways into the energy body's internal structures are thus strengthened, expanded and redefined, making a greater energy flow available to both the physical and the energy bodies.


    The NEW energy system is the result of years of painstaking, detailed work. During my life, the many years of my own development, and later while consulting and teaching other people energy body development, I came to realize there were a great many inherent problems with standard development theory and technique. Nobody seemed to know or really care about these problems, but almost everyone had trouble with energy work and development exercises, especially with energy work involving primary energy centres (major chakras) and nobody seemed to know what to do about it.


    To cut a very long story short, the main problem was a lack of effective techniques to manipulate the energy body with. I set about remapping the energy body and developing, from scratch, formulating a new understanding of the energy body and new ways of using its energy. First I developed the theory that: as there are primary energy centres (major chakras) there 'must' be supporting energy structures and smaller energy centres (smaller chakras) and these must have interconnecting energy pathways and conduits. I then set about the laborious task of 'feeling' my way through my own energy body, finding and experimenting with the smaller energy centres and conduits and trying to find a way to use them.


    One cold Winters day in 1994, while sitting in front of my fire trying to discover some way of working with these supporting energy structures, I had a flash of inspiration. If body awareness (Tactile Imaging) can be used to cause OBE (The Rope OBE Technique) and used to 'feel' the energy body, then body awareness could be used to 'manipulate' and 'stimulate' the energy body. I tried this out immediately.


    My initial experiments with the active use of body awareness (Tactile Imaging) absolutely staggered me. The energy sensations I began feeling were incredibly strong - some pretty major bodily sensations. Within hours, and many Eureka's later, I was stimulating and activating individual secondary energy centres and small groups of energy exchange ports, and was amazed at how easy this was to do.


    Later that evening while writing my notes (a few hours after making the initial discovery) a spirit master materialized before me in my office. I was sitting alone, gazing at my notes while I pondered the implications of my discovery. Suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the dimensional veil rent and the brilliant-silver light of high-level spirit plane energy flooded the room. The master stepped out of this light and materialized in front of me, solid and life sized, dark of skin, long orange robe and bushy hair. He beamed at me, but did not speak. He smiled and gesturing animatedly towards me, and I heard in my head "Now you've found it what are you going to do with it? He stayed visible only for about thirty seconds, but this event had a lasting effect on my work and my life, greatly encouraging me.


    After he left, I pondered on what had happened, the importance of it all, and what I should do about it. I decided to act according to my nature and give it away to the world, just as the master seemed to be suggesting. But it was no good as it was, being just some messy notes and theory based on a few early experiments. Thus began many years of work, carefully remapping the basics of the energy body (from the inside) and designing and fine-tuning techniques and development exercises for what was to become The NEW Energy Ways system. I decided not to research existing works on the energy body and related Eastern disciplines, not wanting to prejudice myself with existing knowledge. Some may say "Why reinvent the wheel?" But I thought I had a much better chance of discovering the energy body's unknown qualities, and of developing more effective energy methods this way.


    I formally released the first version of New Energy Ways Tutorial about 1996. Now some years later, the NEW Energy Ways system has been thoroughly road tested and documented by myself and many thousands of people. An illustrated version of The NEW Energy Ways system was released in my book, Astral Dynamics. This version was written specifically for OBE training, and hence lacks a lot of the important self-healing and energy body development information and methods. My book, Energy Work, solved this problem.
