Related to chakras?

For about a week and a half now, I have been getting frequent warm sensations running up and down my spine. It feels really warm, and the temperature alternates between warm and hot, but is never uncomfortable. If I focus on it, it becomes really soothing and relaxing. And on a few occasions it has made me feel really happy and content. I have also been experiencing the same sensations in my chest, although not as frequently as the sensations in my spine. The sensations in my spine have been increasing in frequency since I first felt them a week and a half ago, to the point where the sensation is now almost permanent.

Today I was in a new age bookstore and I came across a book that claimed to explain how to increase one's spirituality based upon his/her sun sign. So I looked up Taurus, and it said that my energy is stored in my spine, and in the heart area also, I believe (i'm not positive). It mentioned something about chakras, which I don't know anything about.  However, I am wondering if that book may have been correct, and if these sensations are somehow related to chakras?

My reason for asking this is that I attempted energy work a little while ago, but I think it may be more beneficial to me now, if this is indeed energy that I am feeling.

It could be. It sounds like energy sensations. Have you been doing anything lately that would create an increase, like meditation or AP attempts? It seems strange that it would happen on its own, but you never know. Your chakras may becoming more active.

I have been meditating, but only for around 5 - 10 minutes at a time. And a few days ago I had a very short astral projection where I was flying. And I could feel the wind rushing past me.

But I haven't been working specifically with energy.

And it does seem strange that it would just happen, but then again I randomly started experiencing sleep paralysis too. And I have been having more lucid dreams without trying to induce them.

It sounds like energy to me as well. You don't have to do energy work specifically for your energy system to become more active. You have been meditating, so you are becoming more aware. This can make you more aware of what is there as well as increase your energy.

As to your question if this is related to chakras, well yes, much like blood is related to the heart. Chakras are like the organs of the energy system. If you are interested in learning more about chakras do a search online. There seems to be many websites giving fairly decent information. I don't really have any certain one I look at, but having done a few quick searches most seem to be a good place to start learning.

Doing energy work is up to you, but it does not have to be anything extensive if you don't want to put a lot of time into it. You can do it while you are stopped at a red light, waiting in line, at break, sitting at a desk at work/school, or just any where, any time you can take a few moments to focus more on your body. You can start simple by just being more aware of your energy body and feeling the energy moving through your body.

Sounds like Kundalini to me, it would be moving up and down your spine. there is an enormous amount of energy at the base of your spine right near your tail bone. That is where this secretion is coming from. Work with it enough and you will be amazed at how good it can get, WAY beyond merely soothing and relaxing. I wouldnt pay no mind to the sun sign stuff though, thats all rubbish. But do learn more about the location of your chakras on your physical body. By focusing on them for extended periods of time you can activate them. Play around with it for a while. As you become more aware of your energy bodies and just energy in general doorways are opened up to you for experience. Soon you will find Astral projection to be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of possibilities for spiritual experiences. Multi Dimensional Consciousness is what your really looking for.

Thank you all for your input. I am going to try to focus more on my chakras now when I meditate. =)
