Bringing Symbols to Life. The gymnastic exercises

'In order to channel water, we dig ditches and furrows, and to light our houses we install electrical circuits. These examples are analogies: if we want to be able to pick up the spiritual energies passing through the atmosphere and make them circulate, we must install channels and circuits within ourselves as well. The gymnastic exercises we do each morning are a way of capturing these energies and making them circulate.
This is because the geometric figures that correspond to the different movements relate to spiritual forces and entities. When we trace these figures in space, we are attracting the forces and entities to which they are linked, so that they can work in us.'Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
