By breathing alternately through each nostril, you harmonise ida and pingala—the lunar and solar energetic channels. This balances the intuitive and logical faculties, clearing the central channel (sushumna), through which kundalini or astral energy rises. A clear central channel improves the upward energy flow and opens the third eye.
Holding the breath after inhalation—especially while visualising light moving up the spine or gathering in a chakra—generates energetic charge and focus. It amplifies intent and opens inner space for subtle perception to arise. Retention is a pressure mechanism that dislodges denser patterns and awakens energy locks (bandhas).
Breathwork is one of the most direct and powerful tools for accessing fourth-level reality, as it regulates prana (in Sanskrit) or qi (in Chinese), the vital life force that animates both physical and subtle bodies. The breath bridges the unconscious and conscious, the physical and non-physical, the dense and the subtle. By consciously manipulating their breath, individuals awaken dormant energetic systems, clear emotional blockages, and heighten their inner perception, making the subtle frequencies of the fourth-level reality accessible.
In the fourth level, where frequency, intention, and emotion shape reality, breath becomes not just a biological function but an energetic instrument. It governs the rhythm and flow of energy through the nadis and meridians (subtle channels), helping to regulate the Human Information Field (HIF), open chakras, and activate latent faculties such as clairvoyance or astral mobility. Breathwork does three essential things in this context:
-
Regulates prana flow: It balances the distribution of life-force energy through the chakras and subtle bodies, making it easier to attune to higher frequencies.
-
Alters consciousness: Breathwork can shift brainwave patterns into alpha, theta, or gamma states—levels associated with spiritual insight, symbolic vision, and astral detachment.
-
Loosens identification with the body: Focused breathing can weaken ordinary consciousness's tether to physical sensation, allowing the subtle self to emerge and travel more freely.
Breathwork and Energy Practices
This involves slow, even breathing—typically 5 seconds in, 5 seconds out—to bring the heart into a state of coherence. The emotional field stabilises when the heart rate becomes rhythmically stable, and the subtle anatomy aligns. This coherence is a prerequisite for safe entry into higher-dimensional states, fostering clarity, guidance, and compassion.

This breath pattern—inhale for four counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight—slows the body and mind while activating parasympathetic nervous system dominance. It often leads to a trance-like or liminal state conducive to astral visioning or lucid dreaming. It’s especially effective before sleep or guided visualisation.fered.
In this intense form, breathing is continuous, with no pause between inhales and exhales. Over time, this floods the body with oxygen, shifts consciousness, and can trigger spontaneous access to symbolic material, archetypes, or astral environments. Visual flashes, emotional release, or direct experiences of the fourth-level realm often accompany it.
Microcosmic Orbit Breathing
(Taoist Energy Circulation)
This technique uses breath and awareness to move energy through the central meridians—governing (Du) up the spine and conception (Ren) down the front. It cultivates qi, opens energy gates, and raises one’s vibration to interact with fourth-level frequencies in a grounded and stable way.
Used in meditative states, this involves exhaling very softly and imagining your awareness expanding outward—into light, another room, or a dream scene. This type of breath can “dislodge” your subtle body from your physical shell and initiate gentle astral projection.
Pairing breath with a sacred word (e.g., So-Ham, Yeshua, Hu) aligns vibration with spiritual archetypes and sacred fields. On the inhale, you silently say “So,” and on the exhale “, Ham,” synchronising prana with inner sound. This entrains the body to higher frequencies, calling in archetypal or divine presence.
