lesson #7:
radiating
Welcome to Lesson #7 of Breathe Deeper [Level 1].
This one’s more “out there” than the other lessons, so make sure to put on your skeptic hat and we’ll dive right in.
Question: What gets generated when electrons flow through a wire?
Answer: Many things (obviously), but we care about only one in this lesson: an electromagnetic field (EMF) gets generated.
Question: What is the difference between electrons flowing through a wire, and neurotransmitters flowing through a long line of neurons?
Answer: Many things (obviously), but for our purposes, we will treat them as the same. That is, both electrons andneurotransmitters generate an EMF.
Question: What else — other than neurotransmitters — flows through your body?
Answer: Many things (obviously) but the one that often gets overlooked or ignored is prāna. Aka qi. Aka life force.
(Note: just because science hasn’t found life force yet doesn’t mean it’s “made up”. As a reminder, there are other ways of discovering truths about the infinite Universe.)
Just as a river is “one thing” made up of lots of tiny H2O molecules, your life force (prāna/qi) is one river made up of many tiny particles called “lifetrons”.1
Lifetrons are fundamental to the intelligence of your body, and travel via your subtle energy channels (aka nadis/meridians). Lifetrons move faster than your immune cells, hormones, lymph, neurotransmitters, etc, and are the primary way your trillions of cells synchronize with each other so that you can behave as one, coordinated organism.
(Note…again: just because science hasn’t found lifetrons yet doesn’t mean they’re “made up”. As a reminder, there are other ways of discovering truths about the infinite Universe.)
Just like every quark, photon, electron, atom, cell, organ, etc. in the physical Universe, lifetrons create an electromagnetic field (at a specific frequency range) around them as they move through space.
And just like every quark, photon, electron, atom, cell, organ, etc. in the physical Universe, more lifetrons moving in the same direction means a bigger EMF.
Let me say all of this a bit differently:
No lifetrons → no lifetron EMF → no life force → no life 😵 (because your cells lose their primary means of communication, and thus lose their ability to coordinate with one another.)
Fewer lifetrons → weaker lifetron EMF → less life force → diminished life 😟 (because your cells become out-of-sync, and thus can’t heal or operate as effectively.)
More lifetrons → stronger lifetron EMF → greater life force → expanded life 🤩 (because your cells become perfectly tuned-up with one another, helping them accomplish more than if each had acted alone.)
Here’s the big question, then…
The Big Question: How do you get more lifetrons to flow through your body so that you experience a stronger lifetron EMF, greater life force, and expanded life?
The Big Answer: Will-power and volume.
Will-power deserves its own discussion. Check out my series “One with the Sun” or “Wake the F*ck Up” for more on this.
Volume, on the other hand, can be easily understood.
For example…if you want more red blood cells to be able to flow through your blood vessels, just make your blood vessels wider!
Or…if you want more light to be able to move through your pupils, simply dilate them!
Or…if you want more water to be able to flow through your garden hose, just get a bigger garden hose!
Or…if you want more lifetrons flowing through your subtle energy channels, then you need to increase your subtle body volume!
And how do you do that!? How do you increase your subtle body volume!?
I’m glad you asked.
Enter the practice of ‘Radiating’.
This is how it works: right after ‘Coasting’ (length) you will imagine your EMF getting steadily larger. From there, simply be curious as to how big you can make it.
Okay, but how does this have to do with tension release? Let’s run it back one more time:
- Imagining a larger lifetron EMF → creates a larger lifetron EMF
- A larger lifetron EMF = more lifetrons flowing through your subtle energy channels
- More lifetrons flowing through your subtle energy channels = an increase in the volume of your subtle body for lifetrons to flow through
- An increase in your subtle body volume → an increase in your physical body volume
- An increase in your physical body volume = inhale
- Inhale → releases tension
THEREFORE…drum roll…big statement incoming…
Imagining a larger EMF being emitted from your subtle body will cause the tension in your muscular body to release.
Ta-da!
Okay…how are you feeling? Is there skepticism? Good. Don’t take my word for it. Test out this practice for yourself. Report back what you find.
See you in the next one,

P.S. At first, this practice seems to only take place in your imagination.
That is, because you cannot see your field with your eyeballs, the ego will try and convince you that you’re making it up — that you’re “imagining it.” You’re not. It’s happening. It just takes a little practice before you trust what is really shifting.
P.P.S. If ‘One with the Sun’ or ‘Wake the F*ck Up’ are not out yet, make sure to sign up for my email list to get updates on their release dates!
P.P.P.S You can now combine ‘Spinal Jacks’, ‘Part the White Sea’, ‘Coasting’, and ‘Radiating’ into one big exercise! It’s called ‘Sponge Breathing’, and will significantly help you breathe while feeling your subtle energy body. Check it out in the practice section.
1 The name “lifetron” was coined by Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. At first I thought the name was terrible — so cheesy! It’s since grown on me 🙂
