Orchidium |
|||||
Earth’s passage through the summer Solstice of 2013 was an energetic
marker for the beginning of a new Chaotic Node. As your planet undergoes increased climate change, you will see further increases in meteorological novelty and unusual
interactions between storm fronts. What used to be called 100-year storms will happen more frequently. These types of storms
are outer manifestations of Chaotic Nodes and the escalation of chaos arising from seemingly unrelated levels of existence. While you have already experienced several Chaotic Nodes
since 2011, you are at the beginning of another major crescendo in chaotic events. While this particular Chaotic Node will
accelerate climatic and geological changes, as well as social unrest, it is your personal psychological and emotional level
that may well be the most affected. You
can expect to see a pronounced increase in emotional instability and psychological imbalances among your fellow humans (perhaps
including yourself). The collective social challenges of this will be profound. For an Initiate, meaning one on the journey to higher states of consciousness, this particular Chaotic Node is, and
will continue to be, both extremely challenging and full of possibilities. The challenge has to do with the nature of this
unique Chaotic Node, which drives to the surface of your conscious awareness deep-seated emotional toxicity. One of the challenges that spiritually inclined persons
are experiencing, and will continue to experience for some time, is the deep recognition that they have unresolved issues
and deep-seated hostilities that may not fit very well with their self-image. Indeed this is a time when self-images will
be shattered. You are seeing this unfold
at the international level with governments, and you will see it unfold through all levels of society. But for many it will
be the shattering of personal self-image that will be the most difficult to contend with. What we wish to convey is that your negativity, your toxicity, your despair
and your hopelessness—if they are indeed present—need not be a negation of you. Rather they can be portals into
the deep unconscious, to the very bedrock of human subconscious intent. In the process of self-liberation, you must deal with this negativity in yourself regardless of the methods you may
use to free yourself. We now wish to impart a method for infusing yourself with
light and life-enhancing energy. We introduce the method at this time because it will take great fortitude and personal energy
to work through this particular Chaotic Node as well as the ones coming to you in the future. We call this the Orchidium. It is a very simple method that involves a biological metaphor
and image. The greatest obstacle and the greatest difficulty with the Orchidium is its simplicity. Human beings tend to make
things more complex than they need to be when it comes to this type of work. In its essence the Orchidium is a means for you to draw into your KA (your energy body), as well as your physical
body, high levels of spiritual light and life-enhancing energy—what the Yogis call prana and what the Daoists/Taoists
call chi. In this method you
imagine that there is an orchid-like flower in your navel. The central root of this imaginary flower is hollow and is anchored
or rooted at a point in front of your backbone, directly opposite your navel. This area is known to Daoists/Taoists as the Ming-Men
(Ming-Ma) or Seat of Life. Note: While most Daoists/Taoists use the term Ming-Men and say
that it is a region, more or less, opposite the navel and underneath the skin along your back, the Hathors are using the term
to include a larger area. For the purpose of the Orchidium, conceive of the Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) as the region of your backbone
that is opposite your navel. From this area of your backbone, the Seat of Life sends life-force throughout the organs of your
body. It is from the Seat of Life
that subtle energy is distributed to your subtle energy body and also to the organs of your physical body. This type of subtle
energy has a very deeply nourishing and rejuvenating effect. When you hold an image of the Orchidium, you imagine that the stamen is extended out in front of you from the center
of your navel. (Note: Stamens are the pollen producing reproductive organs of a flower. They consist of a stalk called a
filament and an anther that produces the pollen.) When you create the Orchidium via your imagination, the stamen
protrudes from the center of the blossom. For reference purposes, a photograph of a flower with its stamen appears elsewhere
in this message. By its nature the Orchidium
draws into itself and then back into the Ming-Men (Ming-Ma), spiritual-light and subtle energy from the cosmos. To engage the Orchidium, all you need do is to imagine
this flower in whatever ways makes sense to you so that its blossom is open, and the central root is hollow extending from
the navel back into the Ming-Men (Ming-Ma). It is crucial for you to understand that the Orchidium draws these celestial energies
to you by itself, by its own nature and without you having to do anything. There is no relationship between the flow of subtle energy into the Orchidium and your breath. Once you activate
the flow of celestial energies to the Orchidium, they will flow automatically and unobstructed until you stop them. Sensitive individuals will soon discover that they can
sense the flow of cosmic energies into the stamen of the Orchidium itself, but success does not depend on this level of sensitivity.
This type of awareness is simply a refinement. What is important is to feel and sense the flow of spiritual-light and
energy down the central root, the hollow tube, from the Orchidium (in your navel) to your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) and then
to enjoy the flow of life-force throughout your subtle and physical bodies as you wish. We suggest you experiment with this in five-minute intervals so that you
become familiar with how the Orchidium works for you and also to avoid over-stimulation. It is possible to bring too much celestial energy into your system, which
is why we suggest five minutes at a time. Five minutes once a day is all that is required to familiarize yourself with the
Orchidium and its potentials. Once you
understand how the Orchidium works for you and how much celestial energy you can comfortably bring into yourself, you can
experiment with longer sessions if you wish. After each Orchidium session we strongly suggest you imagine the Orchidium closing so that the blossom is not open.
This is for the purpose of self-protection when you enter into the world. Until you have learned how to separate life-positive
energies from the life-negative energies that surround you, we suggest you engage this strategy of protection. While you can engage the Orchidium without any sound or music, in the beginning
stages you may find the Aethos Sound Meditation very helpful. This is because the pulsations within this sound piece
facilitate the movement of celestial energies within the Orchidium root, which connects into your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma). As you listen to the Aethos Sound Meditation, when engaging
the Orchidium, pay special attention to the hollow channel, the root, which runs from the Orchidim into your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma).
The sonic pulsations within the Aethos will amplify the flow of celestial energies into this channel. While the method of engaging the Orchidium is simple, the
consequences in terms of your life-force and your capacity to hold spiritual light are quite complex. There is another complexity here but it has to do with your belief systems.
If you do not rise above these limited beliefs, you will constrain the flow of celestial energies. You live in a cosmos of exquisite unimaginable beauty, spiritual-light,
consciousness and energy. You are an heir to all of these treasures, and each of them imparts to you powers of consciousness—yet
you are cut off from your birthright by many of your philosophies and religions. Any religion that teaches that you have been separated from the celestial light-filled realms because you have a
physical body is an obstruction to the truth of your being—as we view it. Any religion that says that you are separated
from the heavenly worlds and their treasures through the sin of your birth is also, in our view, an obstruction. Those philosophies that propose that you are merely a physical
being with no dimensions of consciousness transcendent to time and space are, in our view, obstructions as well. For the sake of experimenting with the Orchidium we suggest
you temporarily suspend these beliefs. See for yourself how well the Orchidium works when you actually suspend these limiting
thought-forms. After working with the Orchidium in this manner (sans limiting beliefs) you might even choose to leave those
beliefs and thought-forms permanently behind you altogether. When working with the Orchidium we suggest the following thought-forms: 1) Imagine that you are a part of, and heir to, all the treasures of the cosmos—the highest realms of light
and the most-subtle life-enhancing energies. 2) Imagine that the Orchidium effortlessly draws into you these treasures whenever you choose to open the blossom. 3) Through the Orchidium, you can experience the transformation
of your subtle energy body and the vital organs of your physical body. Use this enhanced energy and life-force (as well as the light-force) to sustain you as you move through this potent
Chaotic Node and the ones to follow. The term Orchidium, as given by the Hathors, refers to a flower-like
mental image that you create in your imagination. This image does not necessarily look like an orchid, unless you choose
to make it so. This is in stark contrast to the actual word “orchidium,” which refers specifically to orchids.
The Hathors like to play with words, and for them the word orchidium refers to a biological metaphor that you create through
your own volition and imaginative powers for the purpose of drawing celestial energies into your subtle energy body (your
KA) and into the organs of your physical body. The important element, here, is that the mental image be a blossom of some kind with a stamen. Other than this, I think the Hathors’ description
of the Orchidium is fairly self-explanatory. The only thing I would add to their description is that engaging the Orchidium
does not require visualization skills. You
imagine and sense it in whatever way(s) seem natural to you. If you tend to “see” things in your mind’s
eye, then you might very well have a clear picture of the Orchidium as you work with it. If you tend to feel things, then
you will have a felt sense of it. And there are, of course, other combinations of senses that you could imagine the Orchidium
with as well. As for physical attributes,
imagine the Orchidium to be whatever size, shape and color you wish to make it. The point in all of this is to create the
Orchidium in a way that is most comfortable for you. I have been working with the Orchidium since 2011, under numerous conditions, and I can definitely verify its effectiveness.
I also find the Hathors’ suggestion for working with the Orchidium while listening to the Aethos Sound Meditation very
helpful. The sound patterns in the Aethos sound piece do actually facilitate the movement of celestial energies from the Orchidium
into the Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) in some very remarkable ways. And so I suggest you give it a try. You will find a link to
the 5-minute version of the Aethos Sound Meditation at the bottom of the page. The Hathors are quite clear that this particular Chaotic Node carries an
emotional punch. And I can personally attest to a quickening of emotional material since this last summer Solstice—the
likes of which I have never seen. When
they were talking about the shattering of self-image and the driving of unresolved emotional material into conscious awareness,
one of their turns of phrase caught my eye. “…your toxicity, your despair and your hopelessness—if they are indeed present—need not be
a negation of you. Rather they can be portals into the deep unconscious, to the very bedrock of human subconscious intent.” By subconscious intent, they mean the psychological
forces (thoughts, feelings and desires) that we keep hidden from ourselves. As socialized human beings we have all learned
how to emotionally adapt to our environment. And it is my observation that when we, myself most definitely included, are faced with the dilemma of thinking, feeling
or desiring something not acceptable by those around us, many of us send those thoughts, feelings and desires underground—into
the deep subconscious mind. It is here
in the darkness of the un-owned self that these unclaimed psychological forces fester and build. Eventually, they break
out into the open or we become secretive about them. In a strange paradox of human nature, some of us become zealots and condemn
those who express those very same furtive thoughts, feelings and desires that we have been harboring in ourselves. I asked my Hathor mentors after receiving this message,
why they brought up the topic of subconscious intent to begin with. Their response was 1) these subconscious thoughts,
feelings and desires create quantum effects that are sometimes at odds with our conscious intent. This conflict constrains
our creative abilities and 2) we must deal with and transform our deepest hostilities and negativities or be destroyed by
them. In their last Planetary Message,
The Healing Power of the Human Heart (April 13, 2013), the Hathors gave a powerful sound meditation to assist with
this type of clearing. If you are experiencing the type of emotional intensity the Hathors alluded to in this message, I encourage
you to work with the Hathor Heart Chakra Healing Sound Meditation. A link to the message and the sound meditation appears
at the bottom of this page. As the saying goes…
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” Thus I thought it might be helpful for some readers if I included a photo
of a blossoming flower. The photo is
of a Hibiscus, and it is for reference purposes only. Your Orchidium can be any size, shape or color you choose. The important element in any Orchidium is a blossom that
can open and close (according to your own volition) and a stamen. In this case, the stamen is that nubby thing that sticks
out from the center portion of the Hibiscus. It is through this stamen that celestial energies (prana or chi) are drawn into
the Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) (the Seat of Life), which sits in front of your spine directly opposite your navel. From your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) these celestial energies
circulate into your energy body (your KA) and into the organs of your physical body—imparting a type of spiritual illumination
and increased vitality. I
suggest you take a few minutes after working with the Orchidium (especially if you create it in conjunction with the Aethos
Sound Meditation) to just “be” with yourself in silence for a few minutes. Ideally, you would sit or lie down
with your awareness in the area of your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma). Develop your capacity to sense the flow of chi/prana from your
Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) into the organs of your body and into your subtle energy body (your KA) as well. It is well worth the time and the effort to develop this type of awareness.
The trick is not to rush into outer activity. After creating the Orchidium, spend some time with yourself through inner contemplation
of your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma). This energetic
pathway — from your navel to your Ming-Men (Ming-Ma) — is a most auspicious one. When you were a fetus in the womb of your mother, you were connected to
her via the placenta cord and it was through this tether that you were nourished. At a deep primal level, your psyche recognizes that this is a fundamental channel for receiving life-force.
Furthermore, at a psycho-spiritual symbolic level, this channel is also a means to open yourself to the vast restorative powers
of the cosmic nurturing feminine—the Mother of All Things. Note: When

the title of the sound meditation you wish to hear. Headphones or earbuds are strongly recommended over your computer’s
speakers. This is especially true for the Hathor Heart Chakra Healing Sound Meditation (in fact, most computer speakers
are incapable of handling the frequencies of this particular sound piece). Hathor
Heart Chakra Healing Sound Meditation The Aethos CD is a compendium of Aethos sound meditations,
which includes both the 5 minute version and the 30 minute version of the meditation as well as recordings of the Aethos Sound
Meditations for the Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown Chakras. These last four remarkable live-recordings were made during
a Hathor Intensive in 2011 when Tom toned on top of the Aethos Sound Meditation bringing in the energies of 10th,
11th and 12th dimensional Hathors. Both the CD and mp3 versions of The Aethos are now available, which you can order from the Store at
www.tomkenyon.com. Click here to visit the Store. Tom has also written an extensive article about the Aethos Sound Meditation
entitled The
Aethos: Thoughts and Observations, which can be found in the Articles section
of the website. In the article, Tom discusses various esoteric ideas as well as theories about the meditation including practical
suggestions for working with this sound piece. Two new
sets of workshop recordings are now available. The
Sphere of All Possibilities was recorded live at a Hathor Intensive where the
Aethos information was first publically presented. The entire workshop recordings focus on the Hathors’ unique method
for manifesting positive outcomes, which involves shifting your perception of time and space in profound ways. This complete
set of workshop recordings includes in-depth training sessions, personal stories as well as numerous catalytic sound meditations.
The set consists of 10 CDs. It is currently available as physical CDs only. (Note: We hope to have mp3 versions available
soon.) You can find the set of CDs in the Store section of our website or click here. The
Kalachakra of Chakrasamvara and Vajrayogini is an 11 CD set of live-recordings from a three-day
Shamanic Buddhist Mediation Retreat that focuses on tutelary protector beings who impart their Shakti (or spiritual powers
of illumination and enlightenment) through eighteen potent sound meditations. Tom’s insightful and humorous teaching
style makes the concepts and methods of Buddhist Tantra easy to comprehend—even for those with no background in Buddhism
or meditation. This set of recordings is currently only available as physical CDs. (Note: We hope to have the mp3 versions
available soon.) You can find this set of CDs in the Store section of our website or click here. An
Introduction to the Hathors and the Mythic Realm, is a 16:12 minute talk by Tom on some of his early
experiences with the Hathors and has been posted in the Listening section of the website. After you click on the Listening
