Shortly before Amma began teaching about encodements, she showed us how to connect with the pillar of light as well as how to use the sword of Michael the Archangel. I would like to make just a few comments before you read the excerpt from one of her earlier messages.
When she speaks of the pillar of light, this is what others may call the pranic tube. A healthy pranic tube comes in through your crown, down your spine and into the center of the earth.
The Pillar of Light is, in essence, the energy of Source. In her first messages, the Pillar of Light was about 18 inches in front of us. In various readings she gave suggestions on how to use the Pillar of Light energy which, for many people on the spiritual path, is now surrounding them.
In additional messages, Amma also gives various ways in which you can use St. Michael’s sword. Some of them are:
 |
Protection of Self |
|
Protection of Others |
|
Releasing discordant energies from self |
|
Releasing discordant energies from others |
|
Releasing discordant energies from the planet |

Below is an excerpt from the message of November 2002
“You have what is called the pillar of light which goes through the crown of your head, down the spine and into the earth. It begins at the source of God. This one I am speaking through likes to call it the little “pâ€Â, little “l†pillar of light. It is the one that goes through you. Feel that right now. It goes through your crown, down your spine and down into the center of the earth. Consciously allow your energy to follow it in that direction. If you have your feet on the ground, imagine that you are growing roots from your feet. If you do not have feet on the ground, drop another line from your tail bone down into the earth. Feel the rootedness into your own body. Feel what is there. Become comfortable in that. Now focus on your heart. By heart I mean your heart center which is just to the right of your physical heart. Now imagine yourself breathing in and out of your heart. You are now centered and you are grounded. This is the first way to practice living your life, centered and grounded.
When you are in your heart, you will be able to express words you are not able to express when not in your heart because, unless in your heart, you cannot think of them. If you stay in your heart when someone attacks you with words, you will be able to use other words than those of anger in response to them. This is the first thing to practice.
There is another Pillar of Light just in front of you–about 18-36 inches in front of you, depending upon the person. This one likes to spell it with a capital “Pâ€Â, capital “Lâ€Â. This Pillar of Light begins at the Source of God and goes to the center of the universe. Just feel it right in front of you. Now send a beam of energy from your heart into the Pillar of Light before you. Feel that connection. Can you not feel each other as you are connected to the Pillar of Light before you? Dear Ones, although you each have a Pillar of Light in front of you, it is the same Pillar of Light that you each have in front of you. It is multi-dimensional. Anyone in the entire universe that sends a beam of energy from their heart into the Pillar of Light before them is connected to the same Pillar of Light you are connected to. At this very moment as you are connected to this Pillar of Light in front of you, you are connected to all those others on this entire planet, indeed in this universe, who are connected to that same Pillar of Light. This is the second thing to practice. After you have practiced being centered and grounded, practice being connected to the Pillar of Light in front of you. Notice that first you center and ground, and then you connect to the Pillar of Light in front of you.
By being connected to this Pillar of Light before you, you are in the Now. You are not in the past and you are not in the future. You are in the Now. It is in the Now, and only in the Now, that you can do the work you are here for.
The Pillar of Light in front of you has a marvelous ability to transmute negativity into love. I wish to show you how to do this from your own body. Locate in your body, it can be in a chakra or other part of your energy body, a place of congestion. Wherever that congestion is, send a beam of energy from that congestion into the Pillar of Light in front of you. This beam of energy is going to act as a drain. Now bring in light into your crown, even more light than you already have, and it will be as water. It will flow to the drain you have in place and wash the congestion into the drain and into the Pillar of Light in front of you. Experience this. Anytime you have thoughts you want to rid yourself of, form this connection with the Pillar of Light in front of you, send a beam of energy from your brain, and wash those thoughts away. They are only energy. When you feel fear, send a beam of energy from where you feel the fear and wash it away. You can do this with pain of any kind.
Now I wish to give you one other tool. I know I have given you a lot tonight, but in these times it is crucial to have these tools. This next tool is the sword of Michael, Mich-a-el. In any picture you see of Mich-a-el, he has a sword in his hand. It is always unsheathed. It is now time for you, too, to have that sword. Place your dominant hand palm up. He will put the sword in your hand. Feel the hilt of it in your hand. Feel the weight of it, the power of it. Now bring it before your heart, point up. Now, how to use it. Activate your heart. Focus on your heart and ask it to expand. Bring more light and energy into your heart. Feel how the sword itself is activated. This sword is protection and it is a weapon of love. It cannot be used to harm. It cannot be used in any way except love. In our spiritual battles, Dear Ones, we use weapons also but they are of love. When you need protection, when you are going into a place you know is not going to be friendly, see yourself connected to the Pillar of Light before you and holding Michael’s sword in your dominant hand.
Now see yourself in the etheric holding Michael’s sword in your dominant hand. Place your physical hand down as you would look rather strange walking through the mall like that. See yourself still standing there with the sword in your hand. Focus on your heart again, breathing in and out. Ask for even more energy to come in. Feel the blaze of Light and energy coming from the sword and surrounding you.
You may use this sword for protection for yourself and protection of loved ones. You can use this sword for protection of those who cannot use it for themselves. This means children, people who are infirm. For others, you must ask permission to use the sword. You can simply stand in front of them to protect them, just as a mother or father would stand before a child to protect the child.
Notice that as you activate the sword, it blazes with the brightest of light. This is a high vibration light. It can also transmute and dissolve congestion. Find a place within your own body that you can feel fear, anxiety, anger or another emotion. You are going to use this sword by taking the point of it and putting it in that area of congestion in the body. Now, Dear Ones, you will notice that the sword changes. At times it will be many, many feet long. At other times it will be like a dagger. Going into your own body, it will be like a dagger. It will cause no harm. There are times some will experience pain as you are using it, but that is just in the releasing. Now place the sword in the area of congestion in your body. Watch how it becomes transmuted. Those areas of congestion in your body are the areas where your own thoughts and feelings are lodged, as well as those of others you are carrying. All the thoughts and feelings which occur in all the people of the world are somewhere upon the planet.
As you wish to work for peace, another way you use Michael’s sword is to ask to be taken to somewhere on this planet where there is darkness, anger, fear, hatred. There is much of that on this planet. You will be ethericly transported to that place. In fact, ask now if you wish to do this work and you will be transported to a place where there is that darkness. Now take the sword and thrust it into the darkness and see, watch, feel how that dark energy of hatred, fear, jealousy, or covetousness is transmuted into light and power.
There are many other ways to use this sword. If you ask, I will be glad to show you as you need to use it. The purpose of the sword is to bring about Truth, a capital “T†Truth, to bring about life and light. It cannot and will not be used to harm. It is a powerful tool. Learn to wield it. It is a tremendous gift.
Again, I wish to say practice being centered and grounded. Practice being connected to the Pillar of Light before you. And practice using Michael’s sword.â€Â
