Hey all,

I'm newly experimenting with NEW techniques, and I've reached a point where I'm not sure how to progress - perhaps someone can offer their advice?

When I try to mentally stimulate say, my foot, using tactile imaging, I find I have a choice.  I can either try and get actual physical feelings in my real foot, which works okay, or I can work with my foot as I naturally imagine it.  If I go with imaginary foot, I get much better results, in that I find I can locate & feel it much more easily, and in turn stimulating is easier.  Then, if I keep going for a minute or two, I usually get twitching or bubbling sensations in my real foot, or even feelings of cold liquid inside my bones, like evaporating petrol/gas.

Also, when I imagine my foot, it doesn't really matter if my imaginary foot is where my real foot is, or if I imagine it at chest level, where it's easier to 'hold'.  Wherever my imaginary foot is, I get the same feelings in my physical foot.

I think the feelings of cold liquid are what I'm aiming to achieve, but what worries me is that it's not my real foot I'm mentally stimulating.  Am I going to find, a few weeks down the lane, that I've not been storing energy?  Or that my results are from draining energy out of my physical foot?  Or something else frustrating!?

Does anyone have any experience in deciding between their two left feet?

D'you know, I don't find them too different at all.  In fact, the problem of getting up in the morning was one of my primary motivations for learning energy techniques.

I find that after a 'good' energy session, I'll have a lot more get-up-and-go than normal.  Profoundly more, in fact.

One thing I can offer is this: If I do a session with a lot of NEW work on my legs, anywhere up to my coccyx, then tends to give me more 'get out of your chair' energy.

If I work more on my arms say, I tend to get a mixture of feeling better emotionally, and feeling angry.  This is a question of emotional balance that I'm still working on.

The interesting thing is that if I do a lot of leg & abdomen work and avoid my arms & torso, as I've often been tempted to do, I end up jumping out of my chair with absolutely no idea of what to do with myself, like a fidgety two-year-old.  All jazzed up and no place to go.

So over time, I'm learning how much every single experience is coloured by the quantity and qualities of your energy, and also how you'll only be happy when you've got a balance of them.

Hey-ho, that's life.  Fun, ain't it?  http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_wink.gif" border=0>

Hey, that's good advice Tom http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

I've been having some problems in that when I raise my energy more than a little, I tend to get a choking tension in my throat.  Seeing my throat as being composed of white light is really helping to ease that.

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much for your responses guys http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>  Definitely room for more experimentation, but at least I'm not too far off course!

Tom, I'm intrigued - you offer this approach to "make much more drastic alterations to your energy currents".  I've never heard of this idea before.  I always thought the idea was to stimulate the pathways that naturally exist.  Am I mis-reading you, or is there a new branch of the subject I haven't heard about?  What kinds of alterations can you make, and why?
