Slicing Brain in Half with Energy?

[Kree]

So I've been experimenting with ways of flowing energy. Tying the breath with energy (as with 'NEW') felt limiting, so I've been flowing it up or down through the major chakras, with or without a loop. These all feel fine – except for some lingering feet/head pulling sensations – it's when I flow two streams of energy in opposite directions when something weird happens. The first time I tried it, I had a stream going down the back of my body and another one up the front, I then focused them on the brain only. Within seconds of intensifying this, I saw a sudden bright flash in my closed eyes; my body felt very grounded and tingly, and nothing came of it. The same day I did it again and saw another bright flash of light. I'm assuming this is some kind of symptom of entering a mild trance, but it's interesting as I wasn't even that relaxed and could bring it on extremely fast. It's the same effect I get from doing the Merkaba technique. I'll also mention that slicing the brain either front/back or left/right causes a unique, uncomfortable feeling, like the brain is strained or something. Thoughts?

 Great job. I would say that you were so focused on what you were doing that the shift was occurring. Once you became aware of the mild vibrations and the brief images, you indirectly stopped the flow.
 It is time to just passively observe when the signposts/symptoms of a approaching shift occurs. Once the scene become vivid, then you can join it. You will find that at first the imagery comes in waves. A brief image and then it's gone. Another one that stays longer, until finally a whole scene plays out.
 
 I try to look beyond the first waves of imagery. That seems to almost instantly bring me deeper. I used to use a simple image of a flowing river. I first concentrated on just the flow of the water. Then slowly I became opening my awareness and peripheral vision, to more of the scene around the water, like maybe the shore or the landscape. The more I did that, the more a whole new world started to appear. Once that new world was vivid, I would look for anything that stood out and allow the curiosity of that object to take me even deeper. Each step of the way, you are grounding yourself further and further into this new scenario.

 I found a good strong focus on Robert Bruce's NEW to be a excellent way of achieving the "shift". It's also a great way to alleviate pain. 

 Carry on!

Way to go Kree! I too love experimenting with the energy. Sometimes the energy feels really mild, very relaxing and moving it around relaxes certain parts of the body. But sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming and uncomfortable. I haven't decided if that is due to having a lower vibration than needed at the time or if there is simply more energy than I can control comfortably. I haven't done this in a while.

I have at times felt a pull to go out (project) and done so but other times I ignore that just so I can experiment a bit longer. Either way I will usually find myself having rather strong experiences later in the night. I usually do all my practice at night as my days are just too disruptive. I do feel there is much more to this practice than just projecting so glad to see you're willing to play around and see what comes.

I agree. Some days it feels like we are "clicking on all cylinders" and other times it's like "pulling teeth". I try to look at all the variables, including the weather. For some reason I am really in tune with the weather patterns and even the fluctuations in the barometer. Also the energy seems to be higher with a approaching full moon.

Agreed 100%. You learn so much about yourself in this practice. It makes you recognize and sometimes break down the many layers that make you you. It's a whole different type of school. If more people awoke to this, they would treat others that they come across a whole lot better!

Totally agree on the weather. That's interesting to me Lumaza regarding the full moon. I had always thought I would feel that way and I think sometimes I do but what seems to affect me most is damp weather. And when the barometric pressure drops there's always something to tap into. Can you tell a difference in the energy with the full moon, like does the energy feel lighter/heavier?

Not being afraid to play around with the energy certainly allows for more learning. We should be serious with this practice I know and as we both know we are often 'pushed' to do it a certain way and learn a certain thing but sometimes we just have to kind of say hey wait a minute I want to explore a bit on my own. Gotta be fearless (I say as I crouch at the head of my bed screaming 'go way you beast'. LOL

I seem to really feel it with a approaching storm, like today for instance. Right now we are expecting anywhere from 10-14 inches of snow with this approaching snow storm. That's to add with the 9 inches we got from the storm a few days ago. To tell you the truth, I actually feel pain in my spine when the energy that high.
 The energy of a full moon seems to be easy to tap into. I have found, that it seems to increase the intensity of the actual shift itself. That's when I "brace myself and enjoy the ride"!

My motto is "go with the flow". Many times "we" have a set of plan or intent, but what we may experience is of a completely different nature. That's when you accept what is given or shown to you and be thankful that it is being shown to you in the first place. Keep open and the NP will keep opening itself to you. Once you think you know what is happening, there is no longer a need to be taught. That's when we find ourselves "stuck" and unable to progress further.

 Nameless have you ever attempted Vessen Hopkin's "Vehram technique"? It is really energy oriented. In that thread Vessen describes what is actually occurring using his teachings and knowledge of Physics. It gets pretty deep in Scientific lingo/terminology as well. Szaxx had some good questions for him. It seemed his field of study was right up Szaxx's alley as well.

 It is very close to Major Tom's/Fred Aardema's technique as well. Both of them sharing the "reaching out" to the energy field that surrounds everything. This is what I based my discussion in the thread "How do you perform the Phantom Wiggle" and also the "Doorway" thread on. Both teach how to access this energy field and to utilize it for whatever purpose is needed.

Yes I did read that thread. It goes over my head a bit but still found it fascinating. I'm reminded of it from time to time (like now) and like to revisit.

I wish Vessen was still active here. Well, he was never really that active. He just answered posts on his thread. I found his discussions fascinating nonetheless.

 I found this basic intro to his Vehram Array while doing a google search. It looks like it's a Ad. At least that's the way it is set up. But he isn't selling anything there. It's more explanatory than anything.

Sometimes the energy feels really mild.

When that happens to me, I just do NEW, A few minutes of breathing in energy with hands and feet makes me really feel it. I can then just will the energy up. The important thing with feeling the flow for me is to feel the body as stationary, and letting the energy go up like steam or, alternatively, like a fast flow, making sure to feel it being sucked up by the base and moving through the inside of the abdomen, chest, neck and head and stimulated the brain differently.
Oh and stimulate the hands and feet using mental tactile imaging first, makes a huge difference. Also, tai chi movements and just focusing on feeling with the hands. Lastly, hyperventilation breathing, really makes them tingle.

the energy seems to be higher with a approaching full moon.

Since the body is mostly water, the moon should have some noticeable effect. Haven't paid attention this is myself yet.

I just had a look at this book. One line says "You must be in the hypnagogic state to access the Vehram System". What a turn-off lol. It's basically a WBTB technique that requires you to focus on the exhales and enter SP before you even do the technique. The way I see it, might as well just do the rope technique or roll out if already in SP, would save time not having to read an entire book..

Anyway, I'll mention that I've started noticing more interesting things. Whenever I go to sleep, eyes open or closed, I see a blue cloud floating around, it usually turns into a flying bat or a dragon. Also see a very brief orange flash. Very random. The strangest thing, however, is that yesterday I could feel cool air coming from the groin, I kept checking it and it felt real, cool air coming out of nowhere. Then I noticed what felt like my hair being stroked (which I'm kind of used to by now since starting every work) and I could feel the cool air coming out of there too!

It kind of feels like the only obstacle to phasing is neck / lower head tension. Right now doing physical neck relaxation techniques, and trying to find a good position to put my neck in.

Interesting you mention an orange flash. At times I am able to sort of change the lens on what I see and have discovered by focusing my physical eyes down and to the left the lens changes to orange. I haven't unearthed the significance and like most of our practice it doesn't always work. But usually it does in the blue hypnogogic phase. Don't know about the groin as I've had many strange sensations in that area, some pleasant some not so much. I just go with whatever. But hey a little air conditioning might be nice on occasion.

My favorite position is fetal on the side, either side works best for me. Pillow comfortably cradling my head. On my back, no pillow.

Finally pulled up the article Lu and it does explain the system so much better. Thank you and I have to agree. Many times I have felt those points during the vibrational stage. Often to my sides or above my head although as yet I haven't tried stretching out below my feet or over/under my body. When I have stretched out to my sides or above my head I have often come into contact with a stronger energy and on many occasions I have felt my hangs stroked/caressed and/or been grabbed. This has always been a gentle loving experience when I am actively seeking to understand the energy. It's the same but very different from the 'accidental' projection.

So now I am finally getting it and with this new understanding my next experiments should be even more revealing.
