I start by laying down on my bed, on my back completely flat. Then, I will open up the swivel point that Leo has described many times. However, I do something a little differently to open it up.

I send energy around the vortex to locate it, then I use that energy and send it spinning in a circle creating a second vortex. I do it parallel to the spine clockwise so the vortex spins in towards my body. By putting that thought in the back of my mind for one minute, it clears the blockage. I'm not sure that is the opposite way of the other vortex, but it seems to cancel it out, and it works for me.

Then I either lay there and fantasize or just observe. Either way I keep as still as possible. Sometimes I stay in bed up to two hours at a time. I usually do this during the day so I do not fall asleep.

Also, if I feel the need, sometimes I will focus my energy one or more spots on the body. The third eye is sort of the default, but on occasion just laying there will cause pain in my energy body, so I will focus on that to resolve it.

Edit: I forgot, last night in a dream, I did a similar thing to Leo, with the swans. It could be because I read his post once or twice.

I was not lucid, but meditating, I decide what the hell, I'll go *AUM*. So I do, and then spacetime starts tearing, purple and pink are coming through. The next *AUM* was not nearly as good. As a result, there were evenly spaced purple ticks, in the shape of a circle, except one or two ticks were missing. Then, swans started flying at me, one at a time.

Unfortunately, I was improperly pronouncing *AUM* so the vibrations caused the swans to diverge left or right of my forehead. I remember thinking about a tonoscope, and how chanting *AUM* properly could cause such an intricate geometric pattern. The tone to chant was so delicate.
