Nien! I want to get at least the bulk of the ToZ meditation page gifs done before 2019 :D

Can you do a gif for the energy meditation when you finish what you are working to right now?

I'm not sure which exercise you mean brother, can you be more specific?

this one

A third step or continuation of the second could be light coming up from the base and down from the crown and meeting in the middle. :P And maybe everything getting brighter, like the black background inside the body being lighter. But not as bright as the paths of gold-white light, so you can still see those paths. Thank you for making these! :D

I always did chakra breathing differently than what the gif shows. I would breathe energy into each chakra like in the first gif, but the second part is different for me.

On the Chakra Breathing page, it says:

"When you are finished breathing each of the chakras, breathe in energy through all of your seven chakras, front and back to meet in the middle.

After this, perform the Foundation Meditation."

So i basically did what the first gif shows, except simultaneously. It made sense to do it that way.

If you do it the way my gif shows, you are basically doing both steps at the same time, as with every breath you inhale energy from the front and back to meet in the middle. This isn't just less time consuming I have personally found it feels much better to breathe energy into the chakras this way.

How's this :)

And thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful

Perfect! :D You can put maybe a vortex of light around the body at the end to show that it's still spinning, and the spinning is pulling more light into you

I see :o

I'll try it your way again. The first time, it just didn't feel the same, but another go at it can't hurt.

Thank you for your awesome work, by the way! The gifs are super helpful!

This seems quite difficult to do animate with 2d illustrations but I'll see what I can do. No promises though :lol:

No, I am not dead.

I've tried something a little different with the energy, hopefully it looks nicer.

Nice serpent reference with the moving energy! :D

Dahaarkan you should make a animated meditation of what HP Pythia wrote in her sermon:

"After your aura becomes clean, then it's time to work on one chakra at a time, cleaning it with the light scanning from the wide part to the tapered tip. This can be done anywhere from 5 to 25 or more times."

A little "trick" I learned recently makes the energy look much more shiny and smooth as it moves around than what I was doing before. I'm glad you like it ^^

I will be remaking the Aura Cleaning gif soon and I will post it with a chakra cleaning gif along with it :)

Only work on one chakra at a time until it is clean, then go onto another. Don't work on more than one.

It's a little rough around the edges, but I will be remaking it soon to look smoother. Should be accurate enough to be used for anyone who needs it. I tried a couple different ways of animating it, this was the best I could come up with for the time being. Any feedback is welcome.

For anyone who is interesting in following this, I will be having lots of free time soon and I'm planning to remake several of the gifs that look a little janky, and hopefully get at least the majority of things left to do finished. I've learned a lot of tricks and such as I do these and they will look a lot smoother and nicer in their final versions.

This idea literally comes from the TOZ page about opening the chakras. :D Or has not everyone here read the entire TOZ?

Apologies for restarting this topic but do you mean something like this? Made it in Cinema 4D
