Internal vibrations

[Heather B.]

OK, this is probably going to be really difficult to describe, but I've experienced it over the last couple of weeks while working on my phasing, particularly while doing the noticing exercise.

After I do noticing for a while, and begin to get distinct patterns and color blobs and all that... I get this strange feeling like the inside of my head is vibrating... like there is a little motor running inside my head.  And it actually affects my visions--the patterns, blobs, etc. shake around.  You know how a film looks when the camera is shaking or being buffeted by the wind?

It's the weirdest thing, and rather distracting!  Occasionally, I get the same feeling in my upper abdomen, right under where the front of the ribs come up to the breastbone.  But mostly it's my head.  It doesn't feel at all physical, but rather all internal.

Is this some sort of vibrations, or maybe some chakras coming to life?  I've never experienced anything of the kind before.  Maybe it's a good sign.  But it tends to disturb my phasing practice.  

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else gets something like that.

It sounds like your brow chakra is becoming more active. I go through phases like this, especially in my head. It will be pretty intense for about 5 - 7 days and then eases back down. It can be pretty uncomfortable at times. Something I've noticed is if I use the Monroe Gateway CD's during this period, it dosn't bother me too much, but on my own it can become almost unbearable at times.

Thank you both for the information.  I'm glad I'm not the only one who experiences this.  I generally haven't found it uncomfortable so far, only mentally distracting.

Hm... so what does it mean when the chakras become active?  I've never experienced it before.  I know there is tons written about chakras, but I've never had the patience to read through it, especially since I didn't feel it applied to me.

Right now I'm reading Robert Bruce's "Astral Dynamics" and there is a big section on Energy Flow and Chakras. He explains that AP/OBE depends heavily on the flow of energy in the energy body, and as one develops, energy starts to naturally increase, creating new energy pathways and removing blockages. He created the "NEW" exercises for the development and control of this energy flow.

I've been doing NEW for almost a year now and have been very happy with the results. Best of all, it's free on his website. It's pretty easy and requires no visualization like other energy exercises.

It's probably not necessary. Lots of people AP and phase without it. But I definitely see & feel better results with it. Especially with dream/OBE recall.

Stookie,

So you've been doing NEW for a year now. How has this affected your projection experiences? Do you think it has given a boost in experiences?

I started NEW in either January of Feb of last year and I don't think I would be having any experiences without it (they started up around April). I'm in no way a natural at any of this. When I do NEW for 10 to 15 minutes (full body circuits) I feel like I've just had a full-body massage. It feels wonderful and has really taken all the long-term stress out of my life. Even without AP it has it's advantages. And it's 400 times easier than any other energy meditation I've tried.

Stookie,

I bought astral dynamics book and will have to revisit this. I do believe some sort of exercise with meditation, relaxation can help in the long run.

What specific pages would you suggest for review?

The entire section on NEW is great. It starts on page 105 (it's a huge book for the $12.95 I paid for it). I've found that there's stuff in the book not on the website, and stuff on the website that's not in the book. I haven't worked on any primary centers yet, but am thinking of starting soon. Every time I start a new energy meditation I go through about 2 weeks of emotional and physical upheavals (stress), or until I get it all balanced out - not something to look forward to in the short-term, but long-term effects should be worth it.
