Please can you PM me if you need to know anything (Obviously only if you need to)

there is another neat little trick you can use involving a pendulum.

if you don't own a pendulum you can make one with any sort of weight on a string.  my first pendulum was a cork from a wine bottle with a sewing needling stuck into it with a piece of thread through it.  you can use a pendant on a necklace, a fishing weight on mono-filament (fishing line), pretty much anything that is a weight on a string.

on a sheet of paper draw a basic outline of a human body and write your name over it.  draw a circle or dot where each chakra is located.  hold the pendulum over each circle and say "show me the activity of this chakra".  the pendulum will spin in a circular manner (clockwise, counter-clockwise, doesn't matter) and the speed/intensity of the spin will indicate the activity of the chakra.  fast means more active, slower means less active. 

the goal is to be balanced, to have all chakras active to a moderate degree.  you don't want them to be too active or under active, just a nice, STEADY amount of activity (steady, stable, is important).  if you like to read books, there is a fantastic book out there that teaches you to not only do work on your chakras, but teaches you to sense the energy within them.  the book is called

"Kundalini Awakening: A Gentle Guide to Chakra Activation and Spiritual Growth" by John Selby

you can see and purchase it here

to this day, this is the best book I've read on chakra work bottom line.  i love this book and usually read it at least once a year just as a refresher.  i still use this guy's meditation program at least every other week (should do it every day probably).  point is, i highly recommend it.

good luck friend.

Thanks guys.

I have heard some peoples account of Kundlini awakening and it frankly scares me. I do not think I would want it, the effect during anyway.

forget about kundalini awakening, seriously.  forget you ever heard the concept.  it's silly.

the people who have bad experiences with it somehow forced themselves into an unstable, ecstatic awakening.  many of them didn't do it intentionally, but they still led a life that created the situation.

a better way to understand what "kundalini awakening" is, is to think about it as just plain energy development.  by using a program like the one outlined in Selby's book, the process is slow and steady, as it ought to be. 

I assure you that there will be no adverse effects if you take it slow and work on energy development regularly.
