7 ENERGY CENTRES
3 CHANNELS
SACRED ENERGY

Each energy centre is a fulcrum or

point of support. They are located
within the energy channels of your
body. When your Sacred Energy called
Alburaq is awakened, it flows through
the centres. It energizes, nurtures and
balances them.

 SELF - REALIZATION
The process of awakening the Sacred Energy is called Self-
Realization. When this spiritual energy awakens, we connect with
our spirit and achieve a meditative state.

The dormant coiled Sacred Energy rises from the sacrum through
the spinal column. Nourishing and energizing each energy centre
or plexus. When this energy passes through the brain we
spontaneously achieve a thoughtless awareness state.
SUBTLE SYSTEM IN US

The subtle energy system within us

governs our body. We can awaken
the dormant Primordial Energy
through our pure desire and
meditation. Once awakened, it starts
to balance the subtle energy of the
centres (plexuses) within us.

This helps to heal &

balance; it rectifies and
nourishes the subtle energy
centres through meditation
‫ﷲ‬ We carry inside us the wonders
we seek outside us.
Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī

It is never late to ask yourself “Am I ready

to change my life, am I ready to change
myself?” However old we are, whatever we
went through, it is always possible to be
reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one,
what a pity! Every breath is a chance to be
reborn. But to be reborn into a new life, you
have to die before dying.

And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they

raise a cloud, then We drive it on to a dead
country, and therewith We give life to the
earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
SELF REALIZATION?
DIVINE COOL BREEZE

Self Realization is the awakening of

the Sacred Energy through the
central channel, piercing through
the six energy centres (plexuses)
above the sacrum bone and emerging
at the top of the head (fontanelle
bone area) as a gentle "fountain" of
coolness.

The word fontanelle itself means

"little fountain" which shows again
the ancient knowledge about this
phenomenon of Self Realization.

That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak
to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

Essentially this is about the resurrection time when humanity gets

its enlightenment. Resurrection time implies the era of self-
realisation. The hands and feet speaking and bearing witness means
their vibrations will reveal their spiritual state and the manner in
which they have lived their lives ie the state of the subtle system
HOW IT AFFECTS OUR
DAILY LIFE?
‫ﷲ‬ POWERS WITHIN US
Each of the seven energy centres has several
spiritual qualities - intact within us, and even
though they might not always manifest, they can
never be destroyed.

When the Sacred Energy is awakened, these

qualities start manifesting spontaneously and
express themselves in our life.
Thus, through regular meditation, we become
automatically very dynamic, creative, confident
and at the same time very humble, loving and
compassionate.
It is a process, which starts to develop by
itself when the Sacred Energy rises and
starts to nourish our plexuses.

 POWER TO CHANGE

The only way to fight stress (imbalance) is to be

in a complete balance.
To ascend in balance through the
central path is the Sahaja Murāqabah.

But who would provide us with the balance or

the ascent? Will it come from outside?
"Know thyself" is the main theme of all the
scriptures. The power to change has to come
from within - One has to realize and
understand oneself from within instead of
tackling it from outside or forcing it mentally.

“Show us the straight path the path on which You have bestowed
Your favours, not of those who have incurred Your wrath and
have gone astray”
In the Hadith, Prophet Mohammed said that one has to walk on
the central path and not to go to the right or to the left. This
means that one has to be not only in balance but must maintain it.
 LEFT CHANNEL
‫ﺻﺮاط ﻣﻬﺘﺎب‬
The left channel (moon channel) is
governed by Archangel Mika'il
(‫ ) ﻣﯿﮑﺎ اﯾﯿﻞ‬It corresponds to our past,
emotions and desires. Its pure state
represents the qualities of deep joy,
love, compassion, music and art.
However, we are prone to left side
problems such as emotional
attachments, depression, low self-
esteem and feelings of guilt.
 RIGHT CHANNEL
‫ﺻﺮاط آﻓﺘﺎب‬
The right channel (sun channel) is
governed by Archangel Jibreel
(‫) ﺟﺒﺮﻳﻞ‬. It corresponds to our
actions and planning. However,
we are prone to right side
problems such as egoistic
behaviour (selfishness),
arrogance, pride, anger (violence)
and hatred.
 CENTRAL CHANNEL
‫ﺻﺮاط ال ﻣﺴﺘﺜﯿﻢ‬
The Central Channel is the balance of
the other two channels - the channel
of ascent. Spiritual evolution and
integration with the collective
consciousness is the essential quality
of the central channel.

Daily meditation leads to a cooling of

the sun channel and a warming of the
moon channel, which restores the
inner balance of our emotional,
mental & physical beings.
 7 ENERGY CENTRES
There are 7 main energy centres located
along the spine. Centres are located at the
sites of our main nerve plexuses.
Often difficulties in life can be traced to
imbalances or blockages in one or more
centre.
Centres are connected by Channels. When
the Sacred Energy rises & nourishes the
centres, our body automatically becomes
dynamic, creative & integrated.
Each centre has a physical manifestation in
your nervous system and is responsible for
the smooth functioning of part of your
ALBURAQ physiology. Additionally, they have subtle
qualities, an essence that can influence your
character & personality.
