What is Conductivity?

The foundational practice of Conductivity

As practitioners of a hermetic lifestyle, we often refer to the practice of ‘conductivity of the life force.’ What we are referring to here is the understanding that we are alive as energy. As human beings, we have hundreds of circuits of energy flowing throughout our bodies and auric fields all the time. These are what acupuncturists, massage therapists and healers work with, when we are receiving treatments. Like electrical circuitry, these subtle circuits are how we ‘conduct’ the life energy.

Conductivity is about learning to consciously receive and transmit the life force energy whole-bodily. When we are ‘conducting’ energy, we are receiving the ‘force’ of ‘life’ into our bodies and subsequently into our lives, and then consciously transmitting it through our energy networks.

Life force is another way of describing ‘chi’ or ‘prana’. This energy is the foundation and essence of all life; the energy and vitality that permeates the entire Universe. Life force flows in everything that exists. It is also the connecting link between the material world, consciousness and mind.

We naturally conduct the life force every moment of every day. Our bodies and energy fields are designed to be able to receive much more than we currently allow. Therefore, allowing more life force into our circuitry, allows for much more flow in general. When we learn to do this consciously, we may start to feel different, and notice more free energy is available to us throughout our daily life.

Learning this process of conductivity is not only beneficial for our own sense of equilibrium and well-being, but also serves to enhance our capacity to bring more positive life energy into the world around us. We learn to become “conductors” of the life current itself, and thus become a life-positive presence to those around us.

Proper conductivity of the life-force is a fundamental conscious exercise, that can be practiced throughout the day, until it becomes as stabilised as the breath itself. To engage this process of conductivity, firstly, become aware of the breath, and begin to bring your attention to the body. Feel yourself breathing all the way to your toes, all the while feeling the unobstructed current of energy flowing throughout every cell of your body. It may take a few moments for you to come to feel this energy. That’s ok, it will get easier the more your practice. Eventually you can extend your awareness even beyond your physical body, and expand out into the auric field, thus learning to claim a much bigger space around you.

Learning the practice of conductivity of the life-force also enhances your receptivity of the Alchymeic energies of Hermes Far Eastern Shining.

The following is an extract about conductivity written by the Alchymist Jessa O’My Heart, and can be found in his book “The Will Of God Is The Obligation To Love:

“To allow true receptivity of the Hermetic touch, the following practice of conductivity of the life-force should be engaged:

Feel into the Mystery of existence, which is beyond all knowledge. In feeling into the Mystery, knowledge is suspended, allowing greater receptivity. Receptivity is enhanced by breathing to and from the ‘vital’ (or navel). Allow ‘attention’ to rest at a point in the head at the root of the nose. This point is the Seat of Consciousness relative to the body. At the Seat of Consciousness all ‘things’ high and low pass through. Thus, there is no need to ever allow attention to wander from this point. The whole practice described above is to be at last an eternal practice of receptivity and release.”
