and this:
The 6"x1" with caps use epoxy to hold the quartz inside and the caps add to protect the rods if dropped. If you drop the 4"x1" without caps you may damage the rods. I believe those expensive rods are 6"x1" which is the same size the pharaohs used. However the pharaohs also used them while standing barefoot on the earth(grounding) and gazing into the rising/setting sun so the body can access 3 sources of energy. I made a video showing how they work see link below.
Also the magnetic insoles (we can't go barefoot everywhere):
$30 / Free Standard Shipping (in USA)
Certainly could be useful for the winter!
Super interesting stuff.
Especially as I am a sungazer and don't wear shoes!
6" wands for me please ")
By the way, I just sent the 6" rod ebay link you gave me to @sebcam (who is also a barefoot sungazer, currently in the US) and he was so excited he offered to buy two sets, one for him, one for me! Seb & I got into barefoot sungazing together back in London ten years ago and that quote you offered about Pharos really helped click it all together. Now we know for sure we must have them!
So, thanks to you I will be using my own rods soon enough. With the sunrise and sunset, bare feet planted in the soil, as it was intended.
Deeply grateful for you and the flow you have provided here under my post. I imagine you will be using your own rods soon enough and I wish you all the very best on your journey 🙏
Thanks Sam and keep me posted!
That ebay seller also said his customers who use weed report that the wands enhance weed's affects.
I'll start with going barefoot, holding the wands, basking in the sun. :)
Excellent stuff. Funnily enough that sounds perfect as we can only get access to very low grade weed at the moment! Anything to boost the effects would be most appreciated ;)
Barefoot sun basking is a perfect place to start. Can't wait to hear your results...
My wands arrived.
I am not even slightly convinced that they will have any kind of efficacy. But I will persist... I hope you get some good out of yours. Keep me posted please if you discover any benefit!
In my experience it is better to start out with the opposite sentiment, even if you don't fully believe it. Our mind is our most powerful ally and you can be sure the Egyptians did it with full belief it would work. Seeing or feeling the effects obviously helps but this will come in time and once you have passed that hurdle, then you can really start to play.
As an example, four years ago I could see I was visibly losing my hair and decided I didn't want to be bald, like my father and my brothers. So I did my research and added a bunch of techniques to my daily routine, like massaging my scalp with a wooden bristle brush and saying these affirmations:
After a month I could feel all the stubble on my head, old follicles coming back to life.
And with this evidence I was able to maintain the practices for a few years.
Today I do nothing at all yet my hair doesn't fall out the way it used to because the power of my mind alone is sufficient now, but I had to go through the research & physical actions to attain this position. Bit like the warning I gave in this post, knowledge is not the same thing as wisdom. The point I want to make here is that the affirmations I wrote (in the above film) were the most essential part, telling my body what to expect. No surprise this film has been watched by 145,000 people since I made it. And the comments tell the story. Those who are focused on the meditation are getting success, while those who are focused on the annoying youtube-enforced advert in the middle will likely not have so much success.
Words are like arrows of intention and if we are careful with every one, they can be of great benefit to us.
Have been through this with other people and am always a bit hesitant as I don't want to be rude! Naturally we all do things in our own way, so really I am just letting you know what works for me.
But I cannot imagine any person who wouldn't benefit from a set of affirmations which go with the wand use. Whatever benefits you are looking for, let your body know with your words it is coming and you will be amazed at how quickly it comes...
"Breath in through the nose. Out through the mouth."
Coincidentally I've read several books on HOW to practice Deep Breathing - there is a surprising number of variations on how many counts in, how long to hold the breath (if at all), and how TWICE THE COUNT on the exhale is important, and how we should work to wring out the last "stale breath" in the lungs (I've lost the link to that one).
Who shot that video for you?? The rising up and away, as if in a hot air balloon, watching you and your friend shrink, and the landscape expand, and the world enlarging - wow! Just, WOW!!!
Thanks for the notes! I've not read anything on how to practice deep breathing so was really just winging it for the film. Very much appreciate this information at the perfect moment in fact. Am just about to climb our local mountain where I intend to sit and meditate for three days. No food, no water, just me. And my breathing! When I return I will continue the fast at home, permitting myself only simple pleasures like books and piano playing. This fast will be different to the others however as I want to do it in silence. Ideally a week. No talking. My family have been briefed. Should be fun! But there will be a lot of deep breathing going on (which always helps with the hunger pains) so am most grateful for this note just prior to my departure :)
Who shot the film? I did. Back in my old life I was a drone operator/film maker and was based in Indonesia for a few years where I shot this footage, not knowing at the time what I would use it for. To help people with hair loss problems! Yep. Funny old world.
Catch you when I return and permit myself to open this computer again...
It's cloudy and cold here, and wet, so the sun basking is yet to come. :)
In other news, here's another video you might want to see:
Valery Uvarov (maker and seller of the $300+ wands) comments on the "falsified TV show, initiated by Vladimir Kovtun," which apparently disparages the wands.
Thanks for this. Interesting stuff but sadly not all that surprising in the world of today.
Hope your sun comes out soon!
