Hi,
I am curious to learn the technique that Bruce calls "Wahunka". Have anyone acquired it?
What type of exercises do you need to do?

Thank you,

Maks

Sorry to correct you Bets, but I happen to be re-reading (for the 100th time) Bruce's 2nd book, and came here to see what questions people had.   

The Little Finger Bending exercise is to practice the feeling of Placing Intent.

Wahunka is the name Bruce gave to an odd sensation he had been able to switch on since the early 1970s. Page 27, "When I intended to switch the feeling on, I experienced a mildly electric, fuzzy ball of something at the base of my skull, in back, right where the spine ends and the skull begins."

Maks, I can't say that I've been able to experience Bruce's Wahunka.  I do think I get something a little similar in my forehead, but I am not sure it is the same thing.  I'm practicing with mine the way he did with his.  I think maybe these feelings have to do with chakras??

Aren't these the front and back vortexes of the third eye chakra? Like this:



Be well

We have Vicky to thank bringing my attention to this thread.  Thanks Vicky.

I don't have any idea how it came to be that I first experienced this peculiar feeling I call Wahunka.  Not knowing how it happened leaves me without any idea how to teach anyone else how to experience it.  When I wrote about it I was thinking that maybe someone reading about it would recognize it.

  Even the name I use for is a little weird.  I don't know where that word came from either, it just popped into my mind one day as I was describing its feeling.  A friend, Rita, once contacted a Lakota Sioux information person familiar with that native language.  Rita had an interest in the Lakota and had been studying about them at that point in her life.  When she pronounced "Wahunka" to the guy he said the closest word to that sound in Lakota means, "adopted ancestor."  And that describes something I had never considered even existing, after all, how would a person go about adopting an ancestor.  Evidently for the Lakota it was a concept familiar enough to their culture that they had a word for it.  I have often wondered if the feeling I experience as Wahunka points to one of my "ancestors" as in myself in a previous lifetime?

Rita and I developed a sort of game after I became aware that she could switch on the same feeling.  One day I turned to look at her and she blasted me with that feeling so strongly it almost knocked me over.  Turns out as a child Rita had what is called a learning disability.  She didn't understand spoken language for a long time.  So, when she wanted to know what someone was talking about she described that she looked upward with her physical eyes (toward her forehead (3rd Eye?)) and would see a little movie in the air above the person.  If she just watched the movie it would convey to her what the person was saying in a way she could understand.  "Learning disability"???    I don't think so.

The game Rita and I played was to look into each others eyes, switch on Wahunka and let it build up stronger and stronger until the walls and everything else in view would start to turn liquid and start distorting like they were an image on paint that was beginning to run.

When we did this with a group of people sitting between us the entire group would enter a shared, alternate reality.  The game was for each person to describe very briefly anything they perceived.  Then everyone just sat quietly until the next person spoke.   This sometimes continued for half an hour to an hour.  We all went to some interesting places, saw some interesting things and had great fun as the alternate reality became more and more "solid."  Usually within five or ten minutes people would realize they were describing the same scene and activities as all the others in the group, just from a little different perspective.  Some would find other members of the group in the scenes.

Well, what can I say?  It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Romain, my friend.  I will be very interested to know what you find out in your discussions.

I admire the work that you do and your willingness to share your experiences with others.

Love,

Bruce
