Welcome to your first real training session in the Learn How to Meditate program. If you’re ready to move beyond theory and into direct experience, this is where it begins.

In this guided practice, Joel Skipper introduces the Kinetic Opener — a powerful but simple method that uses your sense of touch to help you feel inside your body and begin to consciously move your awareness.

This is the first step toward Level 1 Enlightenment — and a whole new way of perceiving yourself.

What Is the Kinetic Opener?
The Kinetic Opener is a foundational awareness-building exercise. It uses a physical process (touching your finger) to help you direct your awareness consciously — not just passively.

You’ll learn how to:

Focus attention on specific parts of the body

Feel internal sensations (like bone, skin, and muscle)

Move awareness without physical movement

Strengthen the link between awareness, energy, and blood flow

This exercise doesn’t just relax you. It wakes you up. It activates the part of your mind that normally runs in the background — and begins building your ability to direct and control your inner experience.

Why It Works

You might wonder why this technique matters so much.

Here’s why:

“Where awareness goes, energy follows. And where energy goes, blood follows.”

This creates a powerful chain reaction:

Move awareness → energy flows → blood flows → greater sensitivity → deeper awareness

By repeating this process, you build strength in the “muscles” of consciousness. Eventually, you won’t just feel parts of your body — you’ll feel the entire energy field.

This is how meditation becomes a skill instead of a passive habit.

Level 1 Enlightenment: The First Awakening

Most people are living at what Joel calls Level 0 Enlightenment:

No dream recall

No inner body sensation

No conscious connection to energy

The Kinetic Opener begins the transition to Level 1. At this level, you start to:

Feel internal space and energy flow

Recall dreams

Experience stronger intuition

Notice your perception deepening

This is where things get real.

Awareness, Vision, and Pointing
Joel also shares several enhancements in this session:

Vision: You can feel more when something is inside your visual field

Pointing: Directing your finger at a body part increases energetic focus

Looking while touching: Increases clarity and deepens awareness

These small adjustments make the practice dramatically more effective — especially for beginners.

Consciousness as a Skill

You may be wondering, “When do I get to the good stuff?”

Here’s the truth: this is the good stuff.

All the advanced practices — energy movement, manifestation, multidimensional awareness — depend on your ability to control your awareness.

“If you want to learn telepathy or bend energy — it all starts here.”

This stage gives you the foundation for everything else to come. If you can do this well, everything else becomes not only possible — but easy.

Final Thoughts

Whether this practice felt subtle or powerful to you, it’s working. As Joel says:

“What matters is not how difficult the exercise is. What matters is how effective it is.”

Doing this daily will rewire how you sense, focus, and move energy inside your body. It’s the beginning of true transformation — and the gateway to your deeper potential.
