PRACTICE ELEVEN

DREAMING THE BODY

The goal of this practice is the full honing and development of a Dreaming double, a fully articulated energy body with the ability to operate as a physical body on a higher level, a body that is capable of maintaining the life force on its own at the moment of transformations at death.

This process is a continual one. The practitioner is constantly seeking refinements, even as the moment of death occurs and beyond. This is accomplished by applying the artistry of the double to every endeavor—but first, of course, one must strive to develop it.

The process is always initiated with the same Dreaming task. First strive to Dream that you are in your body, filled with well-being and that you are gazing upon your own sleeping physical body as it lies in the position and place where you genuinely are.

There should be no silver cord of any kind. This is not an astral projection, which only removes a small portion of energy and awareness from the physical body and tethers this with a cord from the umbilicus, beyond the length of which one may not travel. Doubling removes every portion of energy that is not required to maintain a slow heartbeat and respiration, and affords the opportunity to express that energy in this realm, as well as in others.

Gaze at your sleeping body, and verify for your satisfaction that it is truly yourself in the proper place and time. You needn’t worry that your physical body will open its eyes and die of fright upon seeing you looking back at it. You are already in that position. Your body will remain motionless, but alive.

Explore the feeling of being in your energy body. Do not attempt to go too far on the first try. Rather, concentrate on being fully present and taking in your surroundings. Protect your body first with your Dreaming intent, and then perhaps take a short stroll.

As with shapeshifting, there is no need to return to your sleeping body. When your energy is used up you will return to it automatically and gently. The more energy you build for the work, the more time you will be able to double. Some practitioners, like Chon, can remained doubled indefinitely, can wake up into their double and can actually go about their daily affairs exclusively with their Dreaming double!
