The 'Closed Circle'

THE 'Closed' CIRCLE

What is a 'Closed Circle'?

It's the oldest form of spiritual meeting known. Long before churches were built the 'home' was where it was ‘at’!

An 'open circle' is for anyone to attend, and most often held in a public place whereas the private or 'closed circle' might be held in a private dwelling, and is for invited guests / students only.

Circles are now used for many purposes and any group of genuine people will find advancement using this simple method. The Home Circle is an especially good way of helping spiritual development among friends who have the true advancement of others in mind.

Also see "The Importance of the Developing Circle" in Articles -Lessons.

Contents:

1. Control of breathing [a basic lesson] 2. Visualisation of light 3. Seeing the aura 4. Visualising energy 5. Moving energy 6. Awareness 7. Joining energies 8. Using a metaphor 9. Receiving the spiritual 10. Withdrawing energies 11. Re-aligning the self .

Group members need to be compatible to each other so it is best if they know a bit about one another first. You can spend the first meeting doing this with a shorter meditation.

The best way to avoid discord is to state at the beginning that there will be a trial period of ‘so many’ meetings and then the addition or subtraction of individuals can be sorted out to the satisfaction of all.

This is important, believe me, and each person must be asked in private if they are comfortable with the set-up. Fix the duration of the group and make it clear that a bit of dedication is needed.

This is so that any one who wishes later to have a change need not feel that they are letting others down or committed for ‘life’!

**********************

Object of Class:

To use the guidance of thought to Visualise and become Aware of our own abilities:

To the Leader:

Questions and Discussion - At the end and with short discussion each person in turn, with only what is appropriate to share. This means the tutor must first give the clear indication of what is expected and not let anyone ramble on, give communications etc…

Where it says ‘PAUSE’ this is for 2 good reasons, to let the slowest catch up and the quickest to slow down!

I recommend for the PAUSE counting your own breathing [or looking at the second hand go around on your watch if it’s not too dark.]

The seating needs to be in a rough circle so all can see the Leader, [in big churches there are circles within each other.] Make sure doors and window curtains are secure and have no draughts etc..

Water needs to be available and placed before starting – be careful to have sensible containers that don’t spill.

Tell all guests to have comfortable shoes and clothing so as not to be distracted during the quiet time, and any pets put where no distractions can happen.

CONTROLLED BREATHING FOR MEDITATION

Tell the students that this must be practiced each week at home [and may be used to de-stress when needed.]

Wait for all to settle…

Begin to talk very slowly and gently, not too loudly…

“Close the eyes and …

Breathe in deep …slow… counting …

Breathe in 1. 2. 3. – Hold 1.2.3. ……and again………..

Breathe out 1. 2. 3. – Hold 1 2 3 …

And again “Breathe IN the GOLDEN LIGHT counting 1. 2. 3.

Breath OUT …the Dirty, Grey, Dust, and, Dirt, of the day …

Counting 1 - 2 - 3 keep going…

…in the golden light

…out the dirt and dust…………….

Do this for a few minutes at first till all are used to the method.

NEXT the exercises:

Ex 1 “Feel that all around you is golden the light of friendship and love. …

Breathe in the beautiful golden light of love and … ENERGY all around us … … PAUSE

Be aware of your aura like an egg encasing you – all around you - protecting……

and you are the yolk …

going up to the head … PAUSE

************************

Ex 2 Open the top Chakra … it looks just like a funnel … …………. … PAUSE

Feel the golden energy pouring in … re-charging your aura… … … … PAUSE

Expand the aura … gently pushing outwards …expanding …expanding… … PAUSE

Be aware of your neighbour at your side… …………… … PAUSE

We are touching our auras and blending … …… …….. … PAUSE

Join in friendship your friends at each side. Feel the kindly comfort of our friends….PAUSE

Now the whole circle is in a ‘doh-nut shape’ … and we feel full of beautiful loving energy…‿ …PAUSE

*************************

Ex 3 Be aware of your inner eyes-lids … You are watching a cinema screen – waiting for the film to begin …… PAUSE

Watch the cinema screen - and wait for spirit will start the film, PAUSE

*************************

Ex 4 Listen for the guide or helper behind you … wait for them to make a sound. PAUSE

Can you smell something just now? ……. ……. PAUSE

Can you taste something? …… ……. PAUSE

Become aware of your skin…what can you sense? … Movement – Cold - Heat? ……..PAUSE

Feeling inside the gentle inner knowledge. This is the ‘knowing in the essence’ of the self that our inner God centre of love is accepted by spirit and joining us with them. … PAUSE.

LEAVE TIME HERE FOR RECEIVING THE SPIRITUAL

Become aware again of the doh-nut shape of all our Auras …. …. …. PAUSE

Separate from our friends on each side… … …. … …….. PAUSE

Withdraw the energy back into the aura’s shell… …. … …….. … PAUSE

Smaller and smaller as the aura hardens to protect the self from the outside world ......... PAUSE

Become aware of the seat beneath you – your feet on the floor … …. … …….. …. PAUSE

Gradually move about and regain the circulation of the hands and feet‿….. …. ......PAUSE

Open your eyes so we can see you all have returned! Have a drink of water if you fell the need.

**************************

Questioning & Discussion about what each has experienced – lead by questioning from the Leader.

[Keeping an eye on the time]

When in the build up of the circle energy did you … see…feel…hear .. etc…

When in the cinema did you.................... which senses did you experience?

Did you feel Hot / Cold?

And so on

Finish with a prayer.
