Chakra stimulation

[Time Traveler]

When I am raising energy and stimulating my Chakras I find that the Base Chakra and the one that is just below the navel is my most active. I actually get sexually turned on by it. I read that you shouldn't let this chakra become to active or it may cause developmental problems in others areas. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

I've always read that the chakras should always be relatively balanced with each other, so you might want to concentrate on the other ones.

For example, you don't want to let the libido and physical drive get so out of control that you start raping people or fighting over women in bars. A high emotional and intellectual self would easily keep it in line, even if it is incredibly huge.

I wonder how old you are.

If you are young enough then it doesn't matter what you think about or concentrate upon... that you will be periodically 'turned on' by anything simply because it is natural for young men to be often sexually aroused.

The only means whereby a young man can forestall being often sexually aroused is by a regimen of near starvation -- extensive fasting and limiting one's diet to the least nutritive of the foods.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about such minor distractions.  Simply take a 5 minute 'magazine break', wash your hands, and then go back to your Meditations with a clear mind... which should last at least a few hours, I would hope.

I am 38 years old. I think that this is no longer going to be a real problem. Since my last post I am finding that I am able to achieve a good balance. All of my chakra's seem to working together.

...I think I might just accidentally activated my base chakra a little too much. I'm 16 years old and yeah, that sexual activity really bothers me A LOT. If I start working on the other chakras would this stop?
...Also the second chakra(starting from the base one), is very active and I get cramps and all, and also when I'm not doing energy work I get pulsing in different parts of my body. I think I activated the base chakra and that might have caused this...am I right?...any comments or advices on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Chakras aren't the easiest way of getting rid of that

Hand washing? Bleh, who needs it!

I'm 27 and it's not unusual for me to need "release" 1-3 times a day. However since I've started the energy work such release is actually stronger and a better sensation all round. Now I have read it's possible to divert some of that energy so that each time I get turned on it doesn't have to end one way (I am at the house alone a lot), such as with chakra work raising the energy through into the other chakras step by step gently etc. That concentration will help in itself.

However using it the traditional way-and perhaps even learning to channel the energy during the act itself might have more use to you. I have learned to direct the orgasmic energy a little into a healing form either in my own body or elsewhere, using a sense of feel.

It wouldn't surprise me if you were needing release up to 5 times in a day if you're really going for it on energy training.  If that's the case feeling that it's unbalanced etc is quite likely. Add some sport/physical training - or add more if you already do . Swimming, cycling etc-change of environment perhaps.  I'm only writing this from my own limited experience. there will be a couple here who can tell you more about moving the sexual energy etc and someone else who'll tell you how to divert it for sure.  One final thing, if your reading Astral Dynamics or another source of primary center information it already mentions avoiding the genital chakra (not the base!) in your training.  I would go into that more deeply if you haven't already.

Sorry for the incoherent style here but I'm fighting a virus my mother had-one that cause projectile issues at BOTH ends. So far i've only the fever as I think the energy work I've been doing has hit the virus hard. But it's distracting being aware of the battle.
