Rods of Ra - Guidelines and
Suggestions For Experimental Use
The Rods of Ra are based on the two polarities of energy known as
the "BA" and the "KA" in Egypt, or the Yin and Yang in the Eastern
Traditions. The use of the Rods of Ra attempt to balance these two
energies by recharging nervous energy. In ancient Egypt, this
technique was used for the strengthening and restoration of currents
of energy within the body. The two Rods, when clasped in the hands
of standing figures, were the grips of tremendous power, akin to
electricity (secondary electricity), which when the grips were held
in the hand released this energy into the body, to be stored in
unipolar ganglias, and spinal fluid, raising the potential of energy
100% and lasting for a period of 24 hours.
The "KA" is considered to be the
essential ingredient or dimension that differentiates a living
person from a dead one. Difficult to directly translate, possibly
one of the most concise interpretations is "life force" or
"sustenance". The "KA" is represented in hieroglyphs by a pair of
arms pointing upwards.
The "BA"
is considered to be an individual's distinctive manifestation,
similar to our concept of personality in that it comprised all of
the non-physical attributes which make each human being unique.
The
COPPER Rod (KA, Male Energy) represents the Sun
and is the Rod of Power and is always held in the
RIGHT hand. The RIGHT side of
the body is considered to be positively charged.
The
ZINC Rod (BA, Female Energy) represents the Moon and
is always held in the
LEFT hand. The LEFT side of the
body is considered to be negatively charged.

Insert the vial containing the purified coal
into the Copper Rod and replace the cap. The Copper Rod will always be held in the right hand.
Coal is
always used in the Copper Rod and is never substituted with other
materials. |
 |
| The Zinc Rod can contain a
variety of fillings such as quartz crystal (as shown at right) depending upon the intended use.
The standard
configuration is to place the two iron/ferrite rods into the chamber
of the Zinc Rod and replace the cap. |

Types of Fillings and
Their Uses
| Coal |
Coal is always used in the
Copper Rod |
| Ferromagnetic
or Ferrite |
Basic material used in the
Zinc Rod. Used for general energy work and initiating the
movement of energy through the nervous system. Has also been
found to promote healthier and deeper sleep patterns. |
| Quartz Crystal |
Quartz crystals can be used
to amplify both body energy and thoughts. They can assist in
the creation of power and can provide for clarity in
thinking to enable thoughts to more effectively influence
matter. Quartz is said to bring the energy of the stars into
the soul. The quartz crystal is the connection between the
physical dimension and the dimensions of the mind. It can be
used to communicate with minerals, plants, animals, and
intelligent forces outside the physical dimension. It can
also be used to transform thoughts into sound, producing the
vibration associated with the thought and affecting the
environment with the discharged energy. Quartz crystals can
be used to clear and to activate the energy centers of the
body. It attunes well to the heart chakra and responds very
well at the third-eye (or brow) chakra. |
| Amethyst
Crystal |
Amethyst is a "stone of
spirituality and contentment". It facilitates transmutation
of lower energies into the higher frequencies of both the
spiritual and etheral levels. It is a representative of the
principals of complete metamorphosis. It balances the
energies of the intellectual, emotional, and physical bodies
and provides a clear connection between the Earth plane and
the other worlds. It clears the aura and stabilizes and
transmutes any dysfunctional energy located within ones
body. Amethyst also bestows stability, strength,
invigoration, and peace; the peace being the perfect peace
which was present prior to birth. It is also a "stone of
meditation", being excellent in conducting the energy of
calm and peacefulness to help one to both enter and maintain
the state. It opens and activates the crown chakra. |
| Hematite |
Cultures
have long associated Hematite with blood because of the deep
red color of its streak. The root of the name Hematite is
the Greek word for blood, haima. This has given rise to much
of the healing myths that surround Hematite today.
Mineral and crystal healers associate
Hematite with blood and use it in their rituals for treating
blood-related illnesses such as hemophilia, anemia, heart,
kidney and liver diseases, cardio-vascular weakness,
menstrual cramps, and nose bleeds. They also recommend it
for use in treating the stress of jet lag, birth and
surgery, tumors, insomnia, leg cramps, nervous disorders and
fevers. Hematite was also a Native American remedy for
dental problems, pimples, canker sores and alcohol abuse.
Crystal healers credit Hematite with the
ability to bring about a calm mental state, improve memory,
mental focus and concentration, bolster self-confidence, and
increase the effectiveness of logical processes of the
brain. Considered by followers of the New Age to be an
excellent stone for treating mental stress, Hematite has a
reputation for helping people bring order to mentally
chaotic situations by drawing tension out of the body,
neutralizing negativity and releasing anger. They also
recognize its power for increasing mental function and
believe it can improve memory, mathematical processes,
logic, creativity and mental dexterity. Finally, it is an
excellent aid in meditation, recognized by healers for
calming the mental state, tuning the consciousness and
increasing the pathways that lead to inner knowledge. |
| Mixed Minerals |
The mixed mineral filling
is a good choice for enhancing mental capability. The
mixture provides for a calming atmosphere, and, in addition,
encourages one to "reach for the sun". It helps one to
realize that the only limitations which exist are those
self-limiting concepts within the mind. |
| Neodymium
Magnet |
The cylindrical neodymium
magnet filling radiates a soothing energy. Many researchers
believe that magnets may help sleep patterns, relieve pain,
improve circulation and increase the amount of oxygen in the
bloodstream. |
| Magnetite |
Magnetite crystallizes in
the form of crusts, grains, octahedral and rhombdodecahedral
crystals, granular masses, and dendrites. It is strongly
magnetic and possesses polarity attributes in the form
called lodestone. This mineral temporarily aligns the
chakras, the subtle bodies, and the meridians of the
physical and etheric bodies. It can be used to dispel grief,
fear, anger, and attachment. Magnetite provides for a
connection between the user and the nurturing aspects of the
Earth, facilitating grounding and balancing between those
bodies. It can help one to "attract" the healing energies
necessary for recovery from disorders. |
Before you begin using the Rods
of Ra, we recommend that you wash your hands thoroughly with soap
and water, paying special attention to scrubbing the palms and
fingers to remove all dirt and oil. The hands should be "squeaky"
clean. It is also helpful not to dry the hands after washing, but
rather, leave them wet which greatly increases conductivity. Many
advanced users soak their hands in a tub of light saline "sole"
solution, made with mineral sea salt, for approximately a minute
after washing their hands and prior to using the Rods. Again, the
hands are not dried, but left wet which vastly increases
conductivity.
It is best to drink eight to ten glasses of water each day when
working with the Rods. The
Rods work best when used in nature,  standing or walking barefoot on
the earth or in shallow sea water along a beach.
They can be used
while standing, walking, sitting, or lying down. Many researchers
find that using the Rods while taking a mineral salt bath will
greatly amplify the positive effects.
Using the Rods of
Ra around computers, televisions or other electronic equipment is
not recommended. The most common position is the "Master Position"
which is a strong stance of power with the left foot forward,
looking straight ahead, with the arms extended downward at each
side. We also believe that the Egyptians
used the Rods as a catalyst while performing a ritual of "Solar
Healing" or "Sun Gazing". You can read more about the practice of
sun gazing
HERE.
Normally, both Rods are used,
but in special circumstances it is possible to use just ONE Rod in
order to assist in balancing out a particular energy. The figure
below illustrates this principle:
| The male figure to the right appears to
have an excess of Yin, or feminine energy which sometimes
leads to an imbalance of hormones and glandular function.
In this case, he is in the classic "sitting
position", holding the copper (male/Yang) sun Rod in the
right hand for the purpose of re-balancing the hormonal
system. Later, as the hormonal system comes back into
balance, he can once again begin to use both Rods. |

Additional Fillings
You may substitute any of the other various filling
vials included with the Rods of Ra Set in the chamber of the Zinc
(Moon) Rod. These fillings may include the quartz crystal vial,
amethyst crystal vial, gemstone assortment vial, or the high-power cylindrical neodymium
magnet. You my also load other materials or liquids such as
energized water into any of the additional vials for placement into
the Zinc Rod.
*Note: Both the Copper and Zinc Rods will become
tarnished very soon after use. This is normal, however, if you wish
to polish them, we recommend rubbing them with Scotch-Brite pads.
Also, any good quality metal polish will work. The Rods should NEVER
be covered or painted with any kind of coating or lacquer.
