Your energy raising experiences

uncomfortable

[Kalonek]

The first months, the sensations are very different from each others and from one person to another. It depends greatly on the actual development of your energetic body. Depending on the zones, i had sometimes some very hard internal pain when doing my training, but also some great sensations. All will stabilize in a few months if you do it daily and seriously.

Usually, it's quite pleasant, but when I first started I would get nautious while raising energy and i would get random chakra pains anytime afterwards.  Like an arrow had been shot through my solar plexus.  Thankfully, that doesn't happen anymore.[|)]

Wow.  I've only been at it a little while, but as of yet, nothing has been painful or uncomfortable.  Just buzing vibrating sensations wherever I'm localizing my awareness.  Also, when I'm doing it, after a few minutes, I can still feel my body, but am not physically aware of the chair I'm sitting in or if I'm in bed, of the covers over me.

That's totally normal I think you already have a quite strong energetic body if you can feel the vibes and buzzes clearly. Just keep going, you're on the right track

I havent been spending large amounts of time developing my energy body, but I can feel energy in my hands and feet VERY clearly, in my arms and legs to a lesser degree, so it seems the feelings are lessened the further I go "into the middle" Is this a common feeling? However I can feel energy on my brow/third eye, my tongue, nose, crown, and other places.

When I try and raise energy into my abdomen/stomach, I can rarely feel anything up past my thighs, let alone feel it entering a chakra and "filling up". Its hard to practice too when you can't feel anything happening. Itd be interested to know if this is normal, or how to develop this further. Also when trying the full body circuits, I can basically only feel my arms and legs...

This is a totally normal feeling The hands and feet are covered by an large amount of important secondary exchange centers, that's why you can feel the energy very well in them. After that, the energy travels in nadis, energetic "veins", which need practice to feel as well as the chakras themselves. But i think you're on the right track, just keep going, and with practice it'll become naturally stronger. You'll then feel the "middle" as well as the hands and feets, though a different feeling. About the tongue, crown, brow etc, it's normal to have some already activated charkas, so you might feel them eventhough you haven't worked on them particularly. It did the same for me with brow and crown. It also shows that there are "growing".

Again, totally normal It'll come with time. It took me 6 months before i could feel the energy entering my sub navel. But don't give up as by doing it again and again it'll eventually develop this pathway. I never do the full body personnaly, and i'm ok with that

Wow, that's exactly the stage that I'm at..good to know!

[SmileySpirit14]

I was the same way. It took me at least a month before I could feel a bubbling/fullness in my trunk centers. And that, only after a solid half hour of work.

You build momentum by practice though. Also, I've found that consistent practice seems to help. I've found that if I don't do much energy raising for a couple of days, it takes a lot more concentration and work to get the pump kicked into high gear again. If I do at least three sets of practice, 10-15 minutes each, per day though it remains easy to kick into high gear within seconds.

I do this stuff while sitting in boring business meetings, watching TV and while laying in bed going to sleep at night or right after waking up. Any time I can sit or lay still for a few minutes I can do it. What I haven't done well at is raising energy while moving around or walking somewhere. This is where the tactile method kind of breaks down. There is too much commotion to be able to feel the subtle currents compared to all the stronger physical sensations, at least for me.  

Has anyone else had success at energy raising while walking, running or other physical movement?

Hi boydster !
Well i have tried this a few times, while walking. It's indeed quite difficult to make the raising action for longer than a few seconds, because of the whole bunch of sensations being felt (trouser on the legs, changing pressure under the feet etc). So i don't focus on the tactile aspect bu just focus on the sub navel and pump directly through my legs but without following the energy from feet to sub navel. I just feel it roughly and let it come up. But it's not very effective for you still don't have a good amount of energy, though it can be done a little longer. So i usually do like you, while watching tv, sitting, laying etc. Another problem with the walking technics is that whatever you do if you want a good mount of energy coming up, you can't walk anymore lol for your attention is focused on your navel and not on what's in front of you, so you must do the "yoyo" with your consciousness between your navel and you head, which is again less effective for the energy raising.

I have been doing energy work for some years now and have pretty active kundalini. However I have had problems with how my energy flows. I could get headaches and some pain in around hips and arms. So I did not do any direct energy work for  along time, just yoga and Tai chi to keep what I have flowing. After doing NEW for a week I am very pleased to say that the energy flows perfectly over shoulders into arms very strongly and over hips into legs so that no real headaches can happen due to too much energy or hip burning as before or muscles pains. It just flows off into arms and legs and does not stop anywhere. No blockages. Yoga pranayama that I learned was great for raising kundalini aroung spine and crown chakra but ignored arms and legs to a certain extent. Now maybe I do not have to do any NEW anymore as it works on its own and maybe I should let my nervous system get used to it( sometimemes a bit nervous, depressed now but that is simply getting used to more energy). For example I was lying awake this morning feeling the heavy pressure on my third eye and the energy throbbing over my head and down body and shoulders to fingertips and toes in a complete circuit evenly distributed. Or on friday I sat cross legged on the couch with my hands over one another watching a movie and "meditating"/feeling how my energy circuit was pulsing in a big circle aroung my arms from hand to hand and back up around the shoulders and srongly in my head and throat. It increased as I just sat there for over an hour and I got choked up over sad parts in the film as the energy got to be so much. I think this is absolutely necessary to have as strong a flow in the arms and legs (from NEW) as in the trunk/spine which I got from Kriya yoga. This really helps jumpstart my development where it was seriously stalled a long time.

I remember some of my early energy work, I was lying in bed raising energy from feet and up and suddenly vibrations started in but in an unusual way, it was coming steadily from my hips like purple sparks and continued to wander by itself slowly up my back until it reaced my heart and stopped. It was beatifull and pleasent.
Have anyone tried doing the full body while singing in a group, it's quite intoxicating, though you can get pretty dizzy, so have a chair ready.

About a week or two ago I started having terrible headaches that lasted for about five days. They were located at the back and bottom of my head.  I do think they were somehow related to my practicing with energy because I had never had headaches that intense before and not in that area.  I hadn't changed my eating or sleeping habits so I do think the headaches were caused by that.  I have felt other uncomfortable sensations such as cramps, pain, nausea, a little dizzines and overall uncomfortable feelings over my body at times.

One thing that does interest me since I started practicing "psiballs" is the sensations I've been feeling in my hands.  Each time I practice, the tingling sensations become more intense.  Afterwards I feel some static in my hands, if I run my hands over something after practicing I feel a little after sensation of static.   I thought it just might have something to do with running my hands over my chair since it's a thick fabric, but I seem to feel that after running my hands over different things.

I have read Astral Dynamics once through and am currently working on energy raising.  It's coming along very well and I'm rather encouraged at the nice "tinglies" I can summon at will through out my limbs.  And I'm currently working on the basic energy rasing circuit.  I was just wondering what some of your experiences have been like developing your energy bodies?
