Thumb

[Celeborn]

I have just started out with NEW. I just played around with some of the exercises to see if they actually worked, and to my great delight they did. Now, i did start out seriously with the thumb exercise.

I get the feel for the thumb, and "feel" the thumb joint being stirred. The first time i could feel the tingling, but then it ceased. I can't seem to recreate the sensation. Is it just being me getting cocky and doing wrong or has that minor chakra been stimulated in such a away that i've grown accostumed to the sensation, even in such a short time? (2 days)

It is a distinct possibility.  I have noticed that the minor chakras clear the energy blockages very fast in most cases.  So move on to a wider area.

Hmmm... you know what's funny? I can never find time to relax myself and actually go through the NEW energy exercises but just now I tried to feel my thumb and swirl it and I did Can't be too tough. It's the moving energy that's the tough part I think... which is why it confuses me that they use the brushing the hand exercises as an introductory one. Same thing with passing the energy ball, egads.
