Welcome back to this sixth unit of the Master grade, and I hope you will gain both fun and benefits from it!
In this unit, we once again focus on the Tree of Life (John Gilbert style) and on the Bridge of Love. The latter will ramp up a notch, and the former will continue to move downward…
Coursework
- To Practice – Blessing Walk, Healing Hands, Foot and Hand Reflexology, Muscle Testing, Essene Healing Breath
Continue with the practices you’ve learned in the Candidate, Apprentice and Healer grades, ideally daily.
If you practice another form of meditation, e.g. discursive meditation (which you could use to meditate on the theoretical study texts of the Master grade 😉 ), you can use it instead of the Essene Healing Breath – the choice is yours.
- To Study – The Tree of Life, Part Six – Desire, Mind and The Matrix
Study Part 6 of John Gilbert’s “The Tree of Life”, and/or use it as basis for your discursive meditation. As always, you are not supposed to blindly believe this text as gospel, but instead to study it thoroughly, contemplate it, and to come up with your own ideas and thoughts about it.
Note that the lessons on the Tree of Life are not included in the MOE pdf files, i.e. you will have to read them online, or print out/reformat the online version from JMG’s Dreamwidth site for your personal use:
Online Version (only part 6, i.e. the upper half)
- To Practice – Bridge of Love: Step Four
Study the instructions for Practice Four of the Bridge of Love. Connect them to the Tree of Life in any way you see fit.
Practice the the Bridge of Love up to the fourth step daily while you work on this unit. (But as usual, only proceed to this step when you feel ready for it!)
Online Version (only the section labelled “Practice Four”)
PDF Version (page 11) - To Practice – Ear Reflexology
Continue to practice Ear Reflexology, ideally daily, as explained in a previous unit.
Online Version (only the part from “Essene Ear Reflexology” down to “The rest of the outer ear is the outer portion.”. The “Advanced Essene Healing Techniques” belong to later units.)
PDF Version (pages 26 and 27)
Reflection Question
While you do the work of this unit, take some time to reflect on the following question:
How has your perspective on life and on healing changed throughout this course?
Meditation Topics
For the Master grade, again, there is a lot of meditation fodder in the study texts. I’m not going to pull these topics out of the study texts for you, though – that’s up to you to chew on for yourself!
But if you should need fodder for your discursive meditations beyond what you have found in this unit’s texts, the following topics should give you something to work with:
- What is the order of the four elements, and why?
- What is your ego?
- How does your ego influence you and your actions, emotions, etc?
- Which other parts of you are there besides your ego?
- How do they influence you and your actions, emotions, etc?
- How can you build a bridge?
- What makes a bridge a well-working bridge?
- How does posture influence the flow of energy?
- Why and how does the direction of the flow of energy matter?
- What happens when two flows of energy meet?
And if you have enough ideas on your own and don’t need any from this list, that’s even better!
Commentary
Again, I don’t have much to say about the Tree of Life or about your other (hopefully regular 😉 ) practices. A few words about the Bridge of Love, though:
Bridge of Love vs. Healing Hands
Practice Four of the Bridge of Love (BoL) marks the first stage where the energies actually come together. You’re not quite forming a “bridge” yet, this will happen next time. But still, what you’re experiencing from Practice Four is the real deal, this is the Bridge of Love energy.
Your perception of it might be a bit shaky at first (or you might not feel much at all). That’s fine – just continue practicing, and let things unfold over time.
And your performance might be a bit wobbly at first, which is fine, too. Again, just continue practicing, and things will come together over time until they are almot effortless.
Still, you might feel or experience the BoL energy or some of its effects during the two weeks you work on this unit. If so, I’d encourage you to observe them. Get a first idea of how they feel to you, and what they do. Your understanding will both broaden and sharpen over time – but in order to do so, you need to start with what you can perceive now. 🙂
But however much you might or might not notice now, you might be wondering (and exploring) how the BoL compares to the Healing Hands – the latter are, after all, a different modality of spiritual healing. (And I hope you have continued to practice your Healing Hands throughout the course!)
I don’t want to talk too much about my own thoughts and observations with regards to the differences (or similarities) between the BoL and Healing Hands, though, but would much rather encourage you to develop your own. 😉
So… go ye forth and observe!
(And please do feel free to share and discuss whatever you notice in the comments…)
Outlook
In two weeks (on Sunday April 5th, 2026) we will continue with Unit 27.
Until then, I’m looking forward to your comments and your feedback, and I hope you enjoy this unit of the Master grade! 🙂

Dear Regine,
I hope you’re having a pleasant weekend! I am catching up now on the course material and found a mistake in the pdf file about the location of the orange and green spheres I wanted to share in case others are also confused 🙂
PDF:
Bring the Divine Healing Energy up through the bottom of your feet (Bottom sphere), up to the Foundation (Purple sphere) at your lower belly, over to your left hip area (Orange sphere), across to your right hip area (Green sphere) and up to your heart (Yellow sphere).
Online:
Bring the Divine Healing Energy up through the bottom of your feet (Bottom sphere), up to the Foundation (Purple sphere) at your lower belly, over to your ‘right hip area (Orange sphere)’, across to your ‘left hip area (Green sphere)’ and up to your heart (Yellow sphere).’
I assume the online version is correct here?
Thank you!
Best,
Janus

Hi Janus,
Thanks a lot for pointing this out! Yes, the online version is correct. The energy zig-zags through your body, so to speak. And thus the energy coming from below must go to the right first, whereas the one coming from above goes to the left first. It’s a bit hard to describe in words, thus it helps to use pen and paper and draw a diagram – but of course this mistake in the pdf material doesn’t exactly make things clearer! 😀

Dear Regine,
I am getting more and more confused actually on Part 3 and Part 4 since my spatial awareness is not great 🙂 I am reading the Tree of Life diagram as if I am looking at another person so left is right and right is left but the wording does not appear to correspond always to what I am expecting. I would appreciate if you could please just summarise the direction of travel for the energies in each of the parts so e.g:
Part 1: Top of Head (Divine Father) > Left Ear (Divine Mother) > Right Ear (Divine Father)
Part 2: Left Shoulder (Love)> Right Shoulder (Power) > Heart (Harmony)
Part 3: ??
Part 4: ??
Part 5: ??
Thank you!
Best,
Janus

Hi again,
The diagram is indeed set up such that you’re looking at another person, so to speak. And the energy flow zig-zags through your body like one of those diagrams of a lightning bolt.
This means that coming from the top, it always flows to the left side first – and coming from the bottom, it always flows to the right side first.
So here are the energy flows (note that you should start each Practice by imagining the spheres, then the triangles, as per the instructions. I’m only explaining the correct flow of energy in each step!):
Practice 1: There was a mistake there in your example with the naming (Divine Creator is at the top, Divine Father is at the left ear, Divine Mother at the right). The energy is going to come from the top in the next step, thus flows left first in this upmost triangle:
Top of Head (Divine Creator) > Left Ear (Divine Father) > Right Ear (Divine Mother) > Top of Head (Divine Creator)
Practice 2: again coming from top and flowing downwards:
from above > Top of Head (Divine Creator) > Left Ear (Divine Father) > Right Ear (Divine Mother) > Left Shoulder (Love)> Right Shoulder (Power) > Heart (Harmony) > out into Divne Creation (i.e. let it flow outwards from your heart)
Practice 3:
a. First step, practice downward flow – downward, thus left side first: Left Hip (Desire) > Right Hip (Intellect) > Lower abdomen, below belly button (Foundation) > Bottom of Feet (Manifestation) > outward into the Universe
b. Second step, practice upward flow – upward, thus right side first: from the earth > Bottom of Feet (Manifestation) > Lower abdomen, below belly button (Foundation) > Right Hip (Intellect) > Left Hip (Desire) > Heart (Harmony)
At this point, you have practiced both the downward flow to Harmony and the upward flow to Harmony. The next step puts everything together:
Practice 4:
On the inbreath, do Practice 2, but don’t let the energy flow out towards Creation yet – keep it in the Heart (Harmony).
During pause after inbreath and before exhaling, do Practice 3b. (the upward flow through bottom of feet up to Harmony).
On the outbreath, let the energies mix in Harmony and fill you.
During pause after outbreath and before inhaling again, continue to let the energies fill you and watch the energy continue to flow through you.
Sidenote: At the beginning, it might take a bit of practice to build up the full upward flow (3b.) during this pause between inhaling and exhaling. If you should get out of breath by this, don’t sweat it about getting the breathing pattern 100% right. You can use the exhaling phase to build up the upward flow if you need it. In the end, once you’ve got a bit of practice, the energy will flow on its own and you won’t need the breathing pattern anymore anyway… 😉
Does this help?

Perfect, that is very clear! Thank you so much for this detailed Regine 🙂
Best Wishes,

Awesome, you’re very welcome! 🙂
