A human being is a complex, multilayered, autonomous System in constant contact with external Systems: other people, media, sources of pollution, means of conditioning and things harmful to life.
As external Systems have become extremely hostile to people in our time, filters that prevent these negative influences entering us are vitally necessary.
Through this self-attunement, you will protect yourself from harmful air entering the lungs, harmful food entering the stomach, and harmful information reaching you through sight or hearing, from television or other sources.
Little explanation is needed to understand how essential air is to human beings. Breathing is practically synonymous with life. Yet people today literally breathe poisoned air: poison, death. This is therefore the most important filter, and I will begin with it.
Japanese scientists conducted an experiment in a workplace, adding a little lemon fragrance to the air and increasing productivity by 30%. If breathing can have a positive effect, naturally it can have a negative one: air that improves performance can also impair it. This is one means of mass control. Even in nature, there is an invisible realm in which beings control one another. Scents and glandular secretions act directly on the nervous system, causing unconscious obedience to these invisible "directors". I will not explore the details; anyone recalling wildlife programmes or articles will understand how powerful the influence is. Consider the effect of male body scent on women and vice versa. If you have not studied the research, this may surprise you: inhaling even a few atoms of volatile secretions from the opposite sex literally starts an emotional storm in the subconscious, triggering hundreds of hormonal changes. Only afterwards do the eyes and ears engage, followed by mental analysis that may lead to "I love her" or "I love him". Often this is not love but humanity's complete subjection to what the ancients called Maya, illusion. Without discussing who created Maya, you have now glimpsed how it works, and this is only a tiny part.
Installing this filter is therefore very important as protection from external control, whether energetic, mental, chemical or otherwise.
Install the Filter as Follows: Imagine a light-blue energetic substance in your airways, from nostrils to lungs. This is the colour of vishuddha, whose energy provides the protection. (For more about chakras, see here). Concentrate particularly on the nasal sinuses. Imagine the energy like ozone after a thunderstorm: you know how clean the air becomes, purified by ozone. Imagine the blue of the noosphere and the air on high mountain summits.
Food today is not merely poor but sometimes poisonous, full of chemicals literally called "POISON". Many have heard of Indian yogis who can eat poison without being affected; such people exist even today. Human beings possess abilities that lie dormant in many, or go unused through laziness, simple ignorance or mental impairment, now widespread because parents lived improperly before conception, conceived children carelessly and anywhere, and provided dreadful conditions for the foetus during pregnancy. This is sad, but I will move on to the next filter.
Install the Filter as Follows: Imagine a yellow energetic substance in the digestive tract from lips to stomach, the colour of manipura. Concentrate mainly on the mouth and oesophagus, the passage food travels through when swallowed. You may also fill the stomach with yellow energy if visualising it is easy and does not distract from your main concentration. Imagine energy like yellow fire, cleansing everything and burning away whatever is harmful within it.
Looking at something directly affects the brain: the eyes are a direct entrance to it. The brain is highly active while looking. Even simply opening the eyes activates countless processes and the processing of vast information. The eyes perceive the surroundings almost directly. Imagine how much can enter you without visual filters, including unnoticed influences. Recall hypnotists or a snake hypnotising a mouse. You may not realise how much enters your brain unnoticed through your eyes, and much of it today is harmful.
Install the Filter as Follows: Imagine a deep-blue energetic substance around your eyes and optic nerves, the colour of ajna. Concentrate mainly on the eyes and optic nerves, the area from the eyes to the medulla oblongata. You may also fill the medulla with blue energy if doing so is easy and does not distract you. Imagine the energy like a dark-blue sky that burns up meteors falling towards Earth.
Human hearing never switches off; you continue listening even in sleep. The subconscious hears everything. If hypnosis makes someone repeat word for word what their neighbours' television said while they slept, they can repeat it all. Unfortunately, what we hear is not birdsong or rustling leaves but city noise, conditioning pop music played loudly next door or a loud television. All this programmes and conditions us, preventing free living.
Install the Filter as Follows: Imagine a violet energetic substance in your ear openings, the colour of sahasrara. Imagine it like the colour of vast, infinite space. Its enormous distances protect us from negative influences of distant worlds: distance is protection.
Some may be surprised that the skin is also an organ of perception and nourishment. If this is unfamiliar, consult relevant literature. The skin can perform functions of the lungs and stomach, and even of sight and hearing. It is an amazing organ, and needs a filter too.
Install the Filter as Follows: Imagine a golden energetic substance surrounding your skin. This is the colour of sahasradara, the chakra above the head. Imagine the energy like molten gold or the radiance of a golden Sun.
You can perform this self-attunement while travelling to work on a tram, for example, visualising the filters one after another in the order given. You may also attune them separately: while eating, think of the digestive filter; walking along a polluted street, "switch on" the breathing filter.
It is best, however, to keep all the filters in your awareness constantly or from time to time. Gradually, they will become firmly established and work continuously. You will only need to think of them briefly now and then.

Self-attunement given on 27 August 2011.
In 2011, I gave you filters for all the sense organs. But there is another: the mind. It is the most complex, governing the others and receiving their information, while also collecting information independently through thoughts. As I have often said on Your Yoga, not all thoughts are our own. Many drift around like television waves, and we simply pick them up. Without understanding this, people assume these are their own thoughts. This is a major problem, because the "airwaves" are full of destructive, negative thoughts: "I want a drink", "I want a cigarette", "I want perverse sex", "How can I burgle this home?" or "How can I steal this car?" An immense sea of thoughts. Highly moral, spiritual people immediately recognise that these are not theirs. Those on lower "floors" of consciousness miss the deception, begin thinking about the incoming thought, and may eventually act on it.
The mind is not as straightforward as the cases described in 2011. For ease of understanding, divide it into two parts: one in the head and one in the heart. The heart-mind is more important because it guards the soul, the human inner sanctuary. If unprotected, it may create problems much greater than those of the head-mind. A disturbed head-mind may lead to harmful actions, while the heart-mind can enter such negative states that a person may even contemplate suicide. Some fall into depression and disturbances so profound that it is difficult to say which is worse.
In any case, protect both parts. We need neither disturbances nor problems at any level. I simply wished to stress the greater importance of the heart-mind, although men or strong personalities may feel the reverse is true.
Install two filters, around the heart and the head. I suggest surrounding the centre of the chest with golden light and the head with silver light.
Gold is also the colour of the skin-protection filter. There is a difference, however: golden and silver light are specifically light, whereas the other filters are more like substances of a particular colour. Imagine your heart and head within this radiance.
This raises the vibrations in these areas, making them your protection, a barrier against negative thoughts.
You can even meditate for a few minutes simply on your heart and head surrounded by this radiance.
