Practice #39: Confining the energy into a triangle or mirror

In the previous practice you have learned to keep an energy out of something. One of the functions of an empty circle is the removal of any material point where an energy could manifest. The practice that we are describing here has the opposite goal. It is the creation of an atmosphere that makes it easy for an energy of a higher order to manifest. This practice is also helping to confine the energy inside a well defined realm. Once the energy is made to manifest and well confined you have a reservoir from which you can project the energy at any target. While the circle represents emptiness, the triangle allows manifestation. A triangle that you extend into space naturally becomes a tetrahedron, or three sided pyramid with a base. This is an excellent representation of structure in a three dimensional space.
