I would like ideas how can i potray a interesting visual effect of spritualism to a college class.?

Answer 1

Visual Effect of Spiritualism?

From The American Heritage Dictionary:

1 "Spir·i·tu·al·ism The belief that the dead communicate with the living, as through a medium."

2 "The practices or doctrines of those holding such a belief.

3 " A philosophy, doctrine, or religion emphasizing the spiritual aspect of being."

In case you mean number 3, here are some suggestions: Spirituality is energy! It is fun!

Demonstrating Spiritual Effects?
There are many ways, depending on what you want to demonstrate.

I assume that you are not opposed to demonstrate energy phenomena. Best is to try all experiments first at home with family and friends so that they will work out in class. You may want to check for safety in all cases. No responsibility is taken for the results of these suggestions.

1) Life Energy Demonstration
On a scientific basis, you could get a hold of Tesla-Kirlian camera and demonstrate that we are energy, for Spirit is and works with energy. Make sure that all is safe and test the place where you want to demonstrate the camera. If there are nails in floors or metal floor constructions, touching the camera may hurt. Metal wall constructions may also be detrimental to a demonstration (I prefer a wood building). A thick rubber mat may offset the negative effects. best is to try it out with smeone experience wit such a camera. Some people are sensitive to this high frequency energy. You may demonstrate the energy coming out of your hand/fingers then ask volunteers who want to try. Have them try with one finger and very briefly at first: Most are suprised by the tickling effect of the camera's action, some feel it as hurtful, some like it. The camera can demonstrate that we are more than the physical: sparks are flying out of fingers and hands. You may get ideas from the book by Davis and Lane Rainbows of Life, you even may want to show the beautiful color pictures to your audience.

2) Enlightenment Demo
You can get a light bulb which needs no cable. It lightens up when you touch it with a metal ring on your finger, which of cause is not realized by your audience, unless they know the trick. You can get such a light bulb probably at Things You Never Knew Existed (it is a firm, see Internet). You can demonstrate that it lights up eg when you hold it on the head of a nonsmoker, and does not light up with a smoker. Or if you know who had not done homework, the bulb would not light up with that person, but would with one who had done the work (make sure you know for sure). You can demonstrate this several times with different "bylines." Best practice with family and friends beforehand.

3) Seeing the Aura
You can teach the audience how to see an aura. The aura is an energy field which surrounds us like an egg. The aura around the head is naturally especially bright and can be seen by about anyone in minutes. One has to be relaxed (in alpha). It is best, when soft light comes in from the side. Have a white, light blue or dark blue background with no patterns. A slide screen or a bedsheet of such color would do. Have one person sit in front of this background, relaxed without moving. Have people stare about 1/4 to 1/2 foot over the person's head as if looking to the horizon, no focus, no eye movement, just staring. After some time a halo appears as a white shine, sometimes in gentle colors like a faint fog. One wants to see it more and focusses, and gone it is. It is not seen with focussed eyes. One starts over to stare, and the shine may come back. This time one tries not to move one's eyes and one may be able to observe the shine. It may be moving, get bigger or smaller, even show or change colors, depending what the person is thinking and feeling. The play of energy above one's head is awesome. Best also to practice at home with family or friends.

4) Seeing Energy from the Hands
Have people rub their hands. Then have them slightly pull their hands apart and observe fine energy streams between the opposite fingers, like lines. When the hands are held a short distance apart and one is moved up, the other down, the lines shift diagnonally, still attached to the fingers.

5) Sensing the Aura
Have students get together in two. Let them blow each on their own hand, ask if they can feel it. Then ask them to blow less and if they can feel it. Then less etc. This prepares them for the fine energy of the aura, which can be felt when touched. Then have one of the couples sense the aura of the partner by moving both hands back and forth from the aura in about waist height, trying to feel the "shell" of the aura, the protective layer. Some auras are wide, some narrow, some hard but brittle, some soft, with no distinct border. When almost all could feel the border of the aura, then have them change partners. Those who have not felt it, can try again at home.

6) Demonstrating Our Life Energy Kundalini
The West forgot a name for it and calls it by a Sanskrit word, Kundalini. Kundalini is an energy stream goin up the spine. It can be felt as a warm stream. Should it get too hot, one just says, "Cold." Overheating can cause damage to organs and ears, as suffered by one who had forced Kundalini. Kundalini rises when one is ready. To gently demonstrate how this energy feels, the students can find a partner. One lies down on the floor (mat), the other places both hands at the end of the spine of the one on the floor, until warmth is felt. Then one hand slowly moves a handwidth up the spine, then the other hand moves next to it, both hands holding the new positions until wamrth is felt. Etc., up to the upper neck. Then the hands glide over the spine from its lower end to over the head without touching anything, and shake off the energy as if shaking off water. Repeat three times. Allow the person on the floor to rest a bit and enjoy the energy. Then the active partner lies down and the other demonstrates the energy. Often, the entire room heats up from the life energy which is now moving! Never overdo, these are powerful energies!
