I have been doing some reading about energy work, and I have even tried to practice it myself. I used NEW and I felt the tingling and so on that is to be expected with it. But then I stopped and thought for a moment. What is it that energy work supposed to do you? Is it supposed to make you happier or stronger or smarter?

I have tried to understand chakras and how they are connected to the different kinds of feelings of a human being. I then read that if you are hurt emotionally – ex. if your girl- or boyfriends breaks up with you, then it can affect you hearth chakra. Well that sounds logical. Then a closed down hearth chakra is the indication of that you feel bad but not the cause of it (very important).....
Let me put it in another way. You life is not caused by you chakras, you chakras are caused by life and by affecting your life you affect your chakras and NOT the other way around. Please comment.

Is it just me or do you people (sorry for generalizing) think that doing energy work will make you happier in life? I would have loved to weave that question a bit around so it wouldn't seem so direct and childish but that was my core-thought.
Are you people who are doing energy work unhappy for some reason? And is it not true that people that have never ever done energy work or heard about it can actually have much much higher energy levels than people that have done it for years?
Is it then not just an illusion that energy work will do anything for you but make you tingle a bit? Should the "real" energy not be used to correct the physical problems in stead of manipulating energy?

I can give an example. Yesterday I went to my Danish test-exam where I had to write an essay. I had been very nervous for that exam many days before, and that of course made me feel bad. So by some sort of reflex-thought I began doing some energy work. Then I stopped and realized that it was not going to help anything – the only thing that would help was going to that exam and finishing it. The reason I felt bad was because I doubted in my abilities to analyze a text and find the message of it.
When I had finished my exam I felt greater than I had felt and there was no energy work involved!

Can some of you relate to that?

Do you do energy work in order to overcome problems in your life? Or do you at least think that energy work will easy your lives?
In the end is energy raising not just caused by fear and doubt in one self? "oh I must do more energy work or I will have low energy – perhaps even lover than others' and that will in the end make me less of a human than them!!"
Can we call it a more accepted quest for power (and perhaps even more extended as you will take it with you when you die) do you think that it will make you more powerful in the afterlife?

Please prove me wrong.....

Its really hard for me to put the idea together, but I try.

I think I understand and agree with you. I would try understand people who reply to this in "contra" way. There is biiig diference between energy work and meditation. Actualy there isn't, but it depends on definition of the words. I've never done NEW practicaly, I just started to read it and the practice was repeling to me, because there was no asnwer on WHY should I try to feel anything, why should I do with energy?
I figured out that real working with energy is pure meditating, or dealing with life itself. Whenever you are in position you feel some "bad" feeling anywhere(at home/work in contact friends/other people), you should analyze mind piece by piece. It's all about mind. Its not about energy. When you work with your mind, consequently you work with energy. So its a diference in some way. Directly affecting energy has secondary meaning and most of the job done here is in ego nature imho.
I haven't done single energy work , maybe some meditating when I felt like it, only when I felt like it and I have become more subtile (or i was from before, dunno) when it comes to feeling the energy.
For me, feeling the energy is only a proof to energy-based "theories" or
should I call the Truth. nothing else,.. nothing else...
so I can speak freely and confidenlty about this things, because once you feel, you know. Its not believeing anymore, its knowing and understanding...

u program energy ball with mind?
how excatly did you do the ball?
As far as I understood u were pushin hands togeter in and out and focusing energy there?

i read the things you wrote

i see this sparky white dots on the sky and i just wanted to know..
is that on the way to have auric vision?
how do you train to see auras..

i heard that this light dots are a part of universal energy field
and they are sparky because they reflect the light of the sun..
i just heard that, not suppose to be 100% true

If u want an EXTREMELY in depth faq on energy works (i've felt/done alot, and i know first hand), catch me on Aol instant messanger at xshadowxspecterx.  But ya, what u felt is raw energy (chi), which can be used to actually heal people (my friend's tryin that).  The most important thing to doin healing/energy balls/energy reading is to super energize your hand with chi (not by visualization, but putting your awareness in your hands).  As a test, try putting your awareness in your right arm, and u can actually feel the chi flow to it, and eventualy it'll feel like it's going to rupture because of the rawr chi flowing though it.  Try sensing your energy field.  Basically slowly put your hand to your face until u feel a push (mine was about 1 inch from face o.O), and run it down extremely slowly to your stomach (as it passed my chest it went up to about 4 inches above my chest).  Your hand should just glide along your body without u trying, and u can even actually almost rest your hand on your energy field.  Whats REALLY fun is making a super condensed energy ball, which u simply do by maintaining awarenes in your hands, and do the whole "bringing your hands together" motion like 3 times in a row.  The energy ball will even be harder to squish, and if u stretch it out u can make it about 3 feet big.  O well, catch me on AIM if u want more info, i have alot more to tell, lol ^_^.

ya , i know what u mean with focus awarness, or i can say, i sense what u mean  but i havent done any energy practising yet.. because im lazy


id like to talk with you, but i dont have AIM.. u maybe have MSN?
or sth
have fun

hi

excuse my laziness, cause im not into exploring everything bymyself,
so maybe u can help me out

after my palms were burning for days, when they stopped, i can feel energys with them :
i did 2 simple exercices.. i slowly moved palms facing each other together.. i could sense something in hands.. when palms were very close, i could feel that something is goin trought my hands, just like there was a little ball between palms, and after a bit of squeezing it, my hands just went trought it..
so the question is, what did i feel?.. my aura?

2nd exercise was: take few breaths and imagine ur right hand is filling with energy.. after that point a finger from a right hand into the palm of left hand.. i could feel it in my left palm..  i was typing letters with a finger lets say 0.5m from a left hand.. i could "read" letters..
it felt totaly like, the finger was indulging letters on my left hand(not excatly on my hand, but on the area surrounding it), but after a second, the indulgment disapered, if u know what i mean..like a water, u can write something on it, but it imiedately disapears ..
so what was goin on here? was my finger projecting energy? but i actualy feel without visualising of projecting anything..
what can i use this energy for? or the feelment of energy?

how can i use any of it on my way of understanding the truth and on a path to enlightment,
have fun,bye

enlightment is put very simply :
understanding of everything

hey

about burning..

my palms are, i feel them like the skin is burned up, and it still burns a bit..

so whats the trick?

In comparison to the other chakras it's surprisingly easy for me to activate my third eye. It is usually active most of the day without me thinking about it.

Apart from the other 2 methods I mentioned the technique using your physical eyes is probably the most effective way to build your awareness of your energy there.

How long have you being practicing for? You do not have to strain your eyes, just relax them and let them be drawn to your third eye. I find that only after 2 years of practice a few times a month (not very often) I am able to activate it at will. Just be patient and consistent with focusing on it a little each day and you will get good results.

Nostic, in order to "fully" open the third eye would one just continue raising energy in that spot until it builds up to a critical point? Is that what you are working on?


Alex

hey!
its easy for me to to feel it too ..
so, do u know why do you feel it?
whats the meaning of feeling?

is it anything to do with psycic abilities?
waiting for reply,
good luck bye

hi
I was just checking trough topics and I saw this one
..
what excatly is this feeling the eye got to do with AP?
I can feel this chakra whenever i want, actualy I feel it all the time, unless I forget about it....its like with breathing.. u can always control breathing whenever u want.. then u have to forget about it , to make it automatic..
so u forget about feeling the chakra and then u just don't know that u feel it..

but by my experiences, the ability to feel this is connected with the understanding and living forgivness and compasion..
but its not necesarilyy true, since im still discovering the reasons..
(I rarely practised meditation)

anyway I'm very energeticaly sensitive.. I can feel lets say if I get mad, not VERY MAD, just mad, I can already feel the strong exhaustion in energetic way.. or when I entered the room, where the Budha reliquis and other Lama's reliquis where exhibited, I could feel strong energetic field.

Can this be used at some specific methods to have an AP?
I never had AP, i never practised anything,
I dont even know why excatly should someone have AP,
so thats a reason enough to try it ..

that [edit] = diarrhea from the buffalo

hello

I've noticed in my life that karma effects instantly..
I don't know why, but i agree is much faster learning and understanding of the world. You don't "want to give anything away" that you wouldnt like to experience from others.. it seems you are limited somehow, but then again, you aren't...

after thinking you come to idea to use this karma effect for yourself, benefit... , I have then noticed that "bad karma" is instant but "good karma" is not(i know this cant be truth) so i wonder.. I just don't see that "good" karma .. or ??

or I'm not giving it away with right intention.. energy?

(Im just found out that when writing this post, I'm taking in consideration things that I never would)

so just 1 question came into my mind>
so, what is really the thing the masters did.. thez used karma for theirself..
give love, receive love..

i once heard somethign about "escaping cause/effect circle-karma"..
is this bovine excrement?
ok
best regards

heh, u guys are all so funny..
no answers, no comments on question?

u all know why, or nobody really knows why ?


its better to spam predictions etc...well its a path
bye

hi again

lately i was asking myself questions like :
why would some ppl have psychic ability? (or want to develop it)
.. question seems right in my head, but for reader it is easily misunderstood.. hmm. i hope you unerstand me..

what is the purpose? .. i want to know "dimensionality" of this , because something inside has been telling me, that helping people is not It.. that there is something more?
i mean helping ppl is it, but its not all...

i really cant "figure" it out, please help me out.. thanks, bye


edit: that helping ppl is just part of it.. but not ALL

hi again.

I've been thinking> I've been having headaches since i remember myself.
In last 5 years not so often but still. This headaches are really terrible pain. But its not just pain, also the thougts are "killing" ,u are totaly insane when having headache . The one who has headaches know this. And i've recentlz found out, that the point(source) of ache in head, is the in the same "point",  where i feel the chakra. Is this somehow connected?
I think there is connection that could help me get rid of the headaches, or at least direct me on a right path to get rid of them.

Thank you for possible answers,

bye

Hi,I'm new in the forum.
First i would like to say that my English is not so advanced.

I would like to know more about increasing psychic(?) abilities.
I have found out, that information is coming to me in a way of feeling, (emotion?) or like a premotion(?). Im not visiual type of man,and my visualisation is poor.. I dont seem to be getting information in a picture form. How to increase connection with the "it" ?
Are there any practical exercises maybe ?

and im confused about 1 thing. The feeling in the forhead, in the middle, is that suppose to be a 6th chakra? what does it mean.
how do I suppose to know(feel) when it is open?  I just feel something there, when I want to.

I think I need to help myself first. How can the intuition help me?

Dont blame me if im asking stupid questions[:I]

have fun all the time

hey Aileron!
thanks for replying,
about my sense/talent of art : if i have to draw a human, i do it with 1 circle and 3 lines []
I've tried , but I think I'm just not that type. I tried visualisating some easy objects for hours, but, ....


About Chakras. If ur lower ones are not that open, does that affect the "strength" of , lets say 6th One?
how do you meditate on all chakras? I thought "opening" lower ones is just dealing with life itself,own perception .

I surfed some on the net and, is a guide the one, who is giving you "information", is he your intuition?
