Walking Exercises
Walking is an amazing experience, when it is understood properly. Walking gently moves the entire body, swinging the arms and legs, stretching the ligaments and muscles, a little, swinging the spinal column, and adjusting the entire body.
Walking also allows you to focus on yourself without becoming morbid and depressed, even if you are ill and the body hurts or is stiff or tight. It is truly a wonderful exercise.
However, this article is about the use of walking to do much more than this. It is about using walking as a method of helping you to do the Roy Masters meditation exercise in a way that is fun, enjoyable, and often more powerful than sitting or even lying down.
The techniques and visualizations can help you develop your ability to push down and broadcast energy faster. They can also help you relax, align the body, and greatly speed up what is called on this website mental or spiritual development.
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE EARTH'S ETHERIC FLOW
This is a standing meditation that uses the natural etheric flow from the sky to the earth as part of your meditation.
WHAT IS NOT
This is not an article just about exercise, although you will get enough exercise. It is also not about getting your heart rate up to 120, or seeing how long you can go before becoming exhausted. Never go anywhere near exhaustion, please! It is not needed, and it just damages the glands.
It is also not about walking fast - so-called power walking or sprinting, or lunge-walking, or anything like that. Those tend to tense up the body and move energy upward, the opposite of what we seek.
FOOTWEAR
If possible, walk with bare feet or wearing thin slippers or sandals such as Birkenstocks. If you need socks, wear thin ones and/or electrically conductive socks. Thick socks and running shoes are not ideal, although you can use them if that is all you feel comfortable with.
SAFETY
This must always be primary in order to relax. Young women and girls should never walk alone on the street, even in a familiar neighborhood. If possible, walk with a friend, and preferably a man. But tell him you are not going to hold a conversation, at all, and you are not going to hold hands, for example. These tend to be distractions when the goal is to meditate.
You could bring a well-behaved and fairly large dog to protect you, instead of a human friend. Some people like to bring a whistle in case of trouble, or a weapon such as pepper spray or even a concealed pistol or revolver.
Always stay alert. The idea is not to space out too much, and this should not occur with the down meditation exercise if you do it properly. You will be focused inside the body, which may cause you to space out a little. Be mindful of auto and bicycle traffic if you are on a roadway, stray animals, uneven sidewalks or uneven pavement, and any other hazards that may exist.
CLOTHING
Women and girls, but also men, need to be covered up, even if it is warm outside. Otherwise, you may attract distractions and danger. Clothing should be loose-fitting so you can stretch and move easily. Wear a hat if the sun is hot, and wear gloves, scarves and warm clothes if it is cold outside.

The Basic Body Position
- Head pulled up, as though supported only by a string or wire that attaches to the seventh chakra or the crown of the head. - The rest of the body should feel like it is hanging down from the head.
- Use only enough energy to keep yourself erect.
- Tongue lightly touching the top of mouth.
- Breathe quietly at first and do not focus on breathing, at first. It is just too much and not needed.
- Eyes ahead, defocused, half open.
- Shoulders dropped and loose.
- Pelvis dropped.
- Legs strong, upper body light.
- Aim feet slightly inwards.
- Walk on the 3 nails.
- Allow arches to fall with each step - like a cat’s paw or as if you have a suction cup on the bottom of each foot that you sink into the pavement with each step.
- Walk very slowly. This is needed to meditate as you walk. Walking fast defeats this exercise completely.
A good way to begin your walk each day is to take some deep breaths, and perhaps do a few stretches. Then look around, focusing the eyes far away. This is especially helpful if you work all day at a computer, or do writing, or something else where you must focus your eyes continually at close range. You could do a few eye exercises, if you wish, to relax the eyes. This way to start will be found very relaxing and uplifting.
THE MAIN EXERCISE - AT ALL TIMES
ENERGY MUST MOVE INWARD & DOWNWARD AT ALL TIMES
With each step, continuously move energy downward from the top of the head all the way to the feet, and below the feet, at least 10 feet into the ground.
SAY "DOWN" OR SIGH WITH EACH STEP
An excellent idea is to say the word “down” with each step. Another excellent idea is to sigh and relax your entire body with each step.
BRING A NOTEBOOK
Often, you will remember things you need to do or say to others during your walk. If this occurs, preferably write them down in a small note book or piece of paper so you do not need to think about them and recall them later. It will help you relax. I call this the “review”. It usually occurs in the first 15 minutes of the walk.
WALK FOR AT LEAST ONE HOUR
After walking for at least an hour or maybe up to two hours, the mind will calm down, bringing contentment and peace. This is an interesting phenomenon that we will learn more about.
Other Walking Exercises
1. The Post OR The Vertical Tube. Move as if you have a single vertical post or tube extending from the top middle of your head (not the crown) straight down through the base of your first energy center or chakra. This is found between the vagina and the anus on women, and between the scrotum and the anus on men. The post or tube then continues downward into the earth.
Walk around as if you have this rigid tube or post keeping you upright and aligned, and guiding your motions. This is actually an excellent exercise. Also imagine the downward flowing energy flowing down the tube, lighting it up with energy.
2. The Drain. Pretend you have opened up large holes in the bottoms of your feet, palms of the hands and in the perineum – between the penis or vagina and the rectum. Feel energy or even water draining out of you, emptying you so you can be filled with the Spirit.
3. Giving Everything Away. Gladly give all your anxieties, fears, desires, hopes, and all else to mother earth through your feet.
4. Identifying As The Energy. This is actually quite important. It is not enough to just move the energy downward. Eventually, try to identify yourself with the energy itself, no longer as a body in space and time, but this massive flow of etheric energy moving down through the bodies of the earth people. If there are others nearby, you can imagine yourself as the energy moving through that person, also.
This will cause a type of emotional and mental detachment that may feel strange and unusual, at first. With practice, however, it becomes a more familiar feeling, and it will move you forward faster.
5. The Backward Circle Underground. As you step down, feel energy moving down the front leg and foot into the ground. It goes in a circular motion underneath the ground and comes up your other foot and leg as you step forward. In other words, it is a backward-moving circular energy flow.
6. The Magnet. Pretend there is a magnet under the earth that is pulling you along from your lower dantien, and pulling you downward.
7. Heavy Feet. Pretend your feet weigh 1000 pounds each. When you take a step, each foot sinks deep into the ground, at least 100 feet into the earth.
8. Suction Cups. Pretend you have large suction cups on the bottom of each foot. With each step, you press down and compress the suction cup on that foot. You feel like you collapse the arches of the foot.
9. The Beach Ball. Move as if sitting on a beach ball.
10. In Water. Move as if you are in water up to your chest or even up to your neck.
11. Tai Chi Stepping. This means move by first shifting all your weight to one leg. Crouch down a little. Then step forward with the other leg (or step to the side or backwards). Then shift the weight to the other leg completely. Then and only then you can take another small step with the leg that has no weight on it. Move energy downward with each step. Keep your head level and don’t bob it up with each step. Always move from your lower dantien first and the rest of the body follows.
12. Momentate. Momentate the arms and legs. This means to move the arms and, if possible, the legs, as though they are pendulums that can move and flow freely like a pendulum on a grandfather clock that moves gently back and forth.
13. Carrying Water. Pretend you are full of water up to your waist, and walk so you don’t spill any water.
14. Pulled Forward at the Navel. Pretend there is a string coming out of the belly button that is pulling you forward. The rest of the body follows.
15. Loose Shorts. Pretend you are wearing a very loose pair of shorts and your hips just dangle loosely as you walk.
16. Arm Swing. Gently and slowly swing your arms in rhythm and opposite direction with your leg movements. Do not swing them wildly or fast. Just in rhythm with your leg movements. Some people will have difficulty doing this at first. When you achieve it, however, it feels very good and coordinates your left and right brains. If walk with another, do not hold hands or move arms together.
17. The Waterfall. Pretend you are walking under a waterfall and feel the water move through the body from head to feet.
18. Hot Mud. Visualize hot mud coming down from above and drenching you, from head to toe, oozing through every pore and saturating every organ and bone and crevice of the body. For some reason, some people love this feeling. The mud moves downward faster and faster, burning the tissues as it passes by and scrapes the tissues, but it feels good.
19. The Vacuum Cleaner Or Wind Tunnel. Pretend there is a powerful vacuum cleaner or 500 mile-per-hour wind tunnel under your feet. It is pulling you downward and emptying everything out of your body. This one is very intense.
Feel your nose and your ears being pulled off. Feel your eyes being pulled downward out of their sockets. Feel your hair being pulled out, downward. Feel your arms and legs being pulled out of their sockets. Feel the fingers and toes severing from the body. Men, feel the penis and testis being pulled off. Ladies, feel the sucking energy out the vagina and anal region.
Feel your skin being sucked off downward. Even feel your organs and your blood vessels being sucked out through your feet, and your bones sucked out, too. Very intense and most helpful to learn power.
20. Head Exercise. Whenever you walk, keep your head at the same level. Do not bob or move the head up and down like a chicken.
21. The Relaxation. When walking, become aware of your shoulders and relax them. Then become aware of your elbows and relax them. Become aware of your wrists and relax them. Become aware of your waist and relax it. Become aware of the hips and relax them. Become aware of the knees and then the ankles and relax them.
22. Roy Masters Meditation. Just do the Roy Masters exercise, becoming aware of the right hand and moving the tingling sensation from one finger to the next, to the next, etc. Then move the energy to the other hand. Then move it to the right foot, and then to the left foot, and then to all at the same time.
23. Chiropractic/Yoga. Do some chiropractic twists while walking. You can twist the neck forward, back, right and left. You can bend to each side and forward from the waist, and you can adjust the knees and elbows and wrists by shaking them out, as though you want to shake them off the body.
24. Mom & Dad. Let go of mom through your feet and bring in Dad through the top of your head. This is more important than you may think, and has to do with maturing.
25. Scattered & Shattered. Many people will become aware that the physical body is somewhat scattered and shattered, like a piece of broken glass. The walking and moving energy downward and/or Roy exercise will slowly reform and fix the shattered feeling.
26. Rocking. Feel the spine and the whole body gently rock left/right and back/forth as you walk. This is very real and very helpful for healing.
27. The Sculptor. As you walk, pretend that you are a beautiful, but somewhat rough block of marble. Feel the truth that God, or Jesus, or the High Self is a sculptor who is chipping away at you. It happens from above as the energy moves downward, removing all that is not beautiful, true, and of God.
At times, the blows will hurt. Maybe memories will come up, emotions will surface, fears will rise up within, and more. However, you understand well that they are necessary, like exposing a part of the marble that needs to be removed so you can shine in your full magnificence.
28. The Cookie Cutter. Pretend you are a little mushy, like cookie dough. As you walk and move energy downward, God, or Jesus, or the High Self forces himself over you like a cookie mold or cookie cutter descends over the dough – molding it into a beautiful new shape and form.
29. The Light Bulb. As you walk and move energy downward, feel a lovely, warm, golden light enter your body from the top of the head. Soon it makes your entire body light up from the inside. Pull it down harder and harder to shine more light into you, so you can, in turn, shine it out to the world. This is exactly what is happening, at one level.
30. It is Important Not To Move The Golden Light Around The Body. Just move it straight downward, please. It will fill all of you and down beyond the feet, as well.
31. The Quick Sand. You are sinking into the quick sand as you walk, and with every step you go down, down, and down some more in an ever-accelerating downward motion. Somehow, you stay level, but the feeling is one of going downward and downward.
32. The Big Sucking Mouth. Some people enjoy this visualization. Imagine a large creature that is under the earth with its mouth facing upward. It starts sucking you into its mouth. Harder and harder it pulls. It takes all your strength to keep from sinking into it. This exercise can be rather sensual, but that is okay if it helps you move energy downward more forcefully.
33. The Thumbs. Simply visualize moving energy from your head into your thumbs, as you walk forward. This will help keep your hands, elbows, shoulders and the entire body focused downward.
Walk around as if you have this rigid tube or post keeping you upright and aligned, and guiding your motions. This is actually an excellent exercise. Also imagine the downward flowing energy flowing down the tube, lighting it up with energy.
2. The Drain. Pretend you have opened up large holes in the bottoms of your feet, palms of the hands and in the perineum – between the penis or vagina and the rectum. Feel energy or even water draining out of you, emptying you so you can be filled with the Spirit.

Other Exercises
1. Grow the Body. In your mind, grow your body until it is huge – up to 1000 feet tall, like a 100 story building. This will take some time and practice, but it grows your etheric body. This body looks somewhat squat. The arms and legs are short, relative to the size of the trunk. Also, there are no sexual organs and no breasts on the etheric body.
2. The Dantiens. Put your mind on your 3 dantiens. These are balls of energy about the size of a grapefruit. One is in the head, one in the chest and one about the level of the navel. Spin them forward, evenly, and as fast as you can. You can read about this in the article entitled The Dantiens.
3. The Chakras. Put your mind on one or more of your seven energy centers or chakras. Help it spin more evenly, faster, and in the right direction, and properly inward or outward. If you are not sure how each center is supposed to spin, look at the article entitled The Energy Centers.
4. The Merkabah. This is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. As you walk and move the energy downwards, visualize the growth of your merkabah, a Hebrew word that means the vehicle of light. It develops in the middle of the chest. It looks like two tetrahedrons, one right side up and one upside down. They spin in opposite directions - left to right and right to left. It can grow to be as large as about 6 feet in diameter. To read about this, read The Merkaba.
5. Toning. This is the use of sounds that stimulate the development of the subtle energy centers of the body. It is an advanced topic, but one that can be done easily while walking slowly. You simply pronounce a sound while visualizing the spinning of the corresponding energy center. It is like chanting or praying, but is actually simpler. Here are the basic sounds:
1. Toe Breathing. This is the main breathing exercise. Eventually, do it all the time, while walking and while doing everything else. It will speed your progress a lot.
Simply breathe in and breathe out through your toes only. Feel the breathe come up from your toes as you inhale. Feel the breathe leave the body downward through the toes as you exhale. Do not add anything else to this exercise.
2. Counting Your Breath. Breath in from your toes to the count of 3 or 4 steps. Then hold for a count or two. Then breath out down to your toes to the count of 3 or 4 steps.
If you do this for a few minutes, you will soon be able to increase the number of counts for the inbreath and the outbreath. Often you can increase to 10 steps or counts. This will help you relax and increase lung capacity easily.
3. Bone Breathing. This is a powerful exercise, and more advanced. It is the most yang breathing exercise. It must be done carefully so you are still moving the energy downward. As you breathe in from your toes, feel the bones expand a little. As you breathe out down to your feet, feel the bones contract a little. That is all there is to it. This develops people faster, for some reason.
RELIGIOUS THEMES
1. Born Again. Imagine that the Real You is not the person walking around the track or walkway. That is the physical you with its flaws and sins. As you move the energy down more and more forcefully, the Real You begins to descend from the heavens and slowly fills your body as you empty the False You out your feet.
2. The Bride of Christ. As you walk slowly, breathe gently, and move energy downward, feel that you are actually being joined with Jesus or God, who comes into you from above. This can be seen as a marriage ceremony, which it is.
It could also be felt as a sexy encounter, if you prefer. Men can do it too, just imagining yourself as “feminine to God” because we are all Gods bride.
This could even be a more violent “anti-rape” if you like. It is a complete reversal of the rape experience. The “anti-rape” comes from above, does not overwhelm you, there are no diseases and no physical pregnancy to worry about, leaves no wounds, heals everything in your life and your body, this can easily go on forever, and you can have it anytime and anywhere you wish. You will become “pregnant” with God’s love, and you will have God’s ideas imprinted into you, which are the best of all worlds.
3. Bringing Heaven to Earth. This is what human beings do, in part. The body is the temple of the living God, and we bring God’s will down to earth. You can imagine this as you move the energy downward from the head to the feet.
To understand why I suggest this meditation, and not others, please read Meditation For Healing on this website.

You simply pronounce a sound while visualizing the spinning of the corresponding energy center. It is like chanting or praying, but is actually simpler. Here are the basic sounds:
- First Center (between the legs): the sound is AH (as in Torah).
- Second Center (just below the navel): EE (as in eel).
- Third Center (at the solar plexus): OH (as in alone).
- Fourth Center (the heart center, middle of the chest): OM (as in home).
- Fifth Center (near the thyroid gland in the throat): OO (as in loose).
- Sixth Center (between the eyebrows): I (as in eye).
- Seventh Center (comes out of the crown of the head): A (as in hay)

It could also be felt as a sexy encounter, if you prefer. Men can do it too, just imagining yourself as “feminine to God” because we are all Gods bride.
This could even be a more violent “anti-rape” if you like. It is a complete reversal of the rape experience. The “anti-rape” comes from above, does not overwhelm you, there are no diseases and no physical pregnancy to worry about, leaves no wounds, heals everything in your life and your body, this can easily go on forever, and you can have it anytime and anywhere you wish. You will become “pregnant” with God’s love, and you will have God’s ideas imprinted into you, which are the best of all worlds.
3. Bringing Heaven to Earth. This is what human beings do, in part. The body is the temple of the living God, and we bring God’s will down to earth. You can imagine this as you move the energy downward from the head to the feet.
