Chapter 13 – Night Practice 1: Theoretical Aspects the technique on a line. Study Chapter 12 and dowse your bedroom! • Avoid beds made of or containing iron, spring mattresses, etc. Iron tends to amplify any factor of electromagnetic pollution. For the same reason, avoid electrical wiring and electronic equipment in the vicinity of your bed. Electric blankets should be discarded, even if they are not switched on. Before sleeping on a water bed, consider that there is nothing better than a mass of running or stagnant water to attract entities of all kinds. Modern technology sometimes leads to energetic disasters. A fridge can be quite toxic for your etheric, if you practise less than about five metres from it. I suggest that you do the following experiment: Place a mattress in your kitchen, say one or two meters from the fridge, and do a night practice. Fridges remain ‘dormant’ for some time, and then their electrical apparatus is activated – that is when they start making a noise. At the very moment the fridge starts making a noise, if you are in a state of etheric relaxation, you will feel a kind of lash in your etheric body. You can't miss it: a sudden, painful discharge, extremely tangible, and often accompanied by the perception of a flash of colour. Try it! It won't hurt you if you only do it a few times. This will allow you to meditate on the connections between the etheric layer and the electromagnetic force. The two are certainly not identical: the electromagnetic field belongs to the physical sphere, and the etheric is beyond the physical sphere. Yet there are direct bridges connecting the two, as shown by this experiment. A similar experience can occur when sleeping in a building full of iron, such as a skyscraper, with central heating. From time to time a discharge of static electricity goes through the heaters, often accompanied by an abrupt little sound. At that moment, if you are doing night practice, you feel exactly the same type of lash in your etheric body. • It is not advisable to implement night practice while lying too close to somebody (or to an animal, or even to plants). The reason is obvious: your etheric body starts to expand. If it meets the resistance of another living being's etheric, the expansion process will simply stop. And your etheric will start to retract again, due to a mechanism of self-protection. Your night practice will remain superficial, you won't be able to dive deep into a hyper-relaxed state. If you were to insist and force the opening, you could pick
