Cold & Numb hands/feet

[Links Shadow]

My guess is that it is a blockage of some kind. I recommend continuing what it is you are doing only in a little moderation. Work with NEW in the general area of the coldness or pain until the feelings start, don't let it get to bad. You want some pain or coldness, but not enough that you are unable to shift your awareness somewhere else and not feel it anymore. Once the pain starts getting to strong, stop for the day and possibly work with reiki a little bit.  From my experience, I had similar problems to yours, over time the coldness and pain will fade away. Just be careful that you don't push yourself to much. Your body is the best thing to tell you when you have done to much. Make sure you don't push yourself to far because the energy will try to force its way through making the pain worse. The coldness should pass over time naturally, don't worry about it to much unless it becomes painful as well. Good luck in clearing these blockages.

Thanks for the advice,

Just incase anyone is interested...

I went through a lot of pain again yesterday during meditation after focusing on the blockages.  I had a horrible back pain and a sudden slapping feeling to the left side of my head (next to my eye).  At first I actually thought someone had slapped me, I even spontaneously flicked my head to the right.  I was also hit with a flood of images, sparking my memory.  I remembered them but I was unsure where they were from.  Perhaps they were from an earlier dream or a past life, dunno.  I heard lots of loud noises and screams and saw many familiar but at the same time unfamiliar faces.  Interesting.

I stopped after a while because I was too tired.  Part of the blockage in my back was cleared I think, but i'm sure a lot of work still needs to be done, because there is pain again today.  I hope I am on the right track.

Well KP, sorry to that I don't have enough experience or know-how to be of any help whatsoever.
Just wanted to say, hope you get better soon.  [|)]

There is nothinmg wrong with usuing purely physical methods. A hot bath or shower would help.

The biggest blockage seems to be in the top of my back.. when energy comes up at first it tries to push it's way through and then it becomes really hot as if it's trying to burn away at the blockage.  I usually get too startled because i've heard so much about kundalini.... and so i try to flick my awareness on something else until it calms down.. I wonder if I should risk letting it do it's work and seeing what happens...  I don't know what it is, or what to do, the energy sensations are more powerful all the time and I get them throughout the day and night now, almost every part of me... but mostly the left side.  My right ear feels like it's got trapped air just above it, all day... nothing seems to budge it, and it kinda effects my whole ear.  Energy seems to be working it's way up, and a lot of it is hanging around at the top of my head, but more of it keeps coming and pushing up and creating more pain.

I don't know if confronting the pain is a good idea, I don't want to leap into a more awkward situation.  Perhaps it will make things easier, but i'm worried it will make things worse.  On the other hand, i'm worried that if I repress it, it will come back stronger and more painful.

I have ordered some books so hopefully i will get an idea of what to do.

Dear KP

Based on your description, it appears that you have stucked energy arising from your practice. You should refrain from any further practice including meditation as it can lead to more problems. If you can locate a good master, he may be able to help. Do not rely on books as these are not good substitutes for a good master. Listen to your body. You should feel warm and good from a correct practice. If you know tai chi, this is the best time to practise them. Please do not do any form of deep breathing or visualization.

Wishing you all the best in a rapid recovery.

i am ok now, the kundalini flow is quite gentle.  i went through a horrible time, but that is over with now.  i'm very happy right now.  more than i've ever been.  blockages are being cleaned out and each day i feel better.  you are right, i ordered a book but it was useless, it kept telling me to do things.  i found the best way was not to do anything, the energy seems to know what to do.  anything i do seems to interfere.  i am comfortable with it though  been through some horrible pain, but it woke me up a bit more.

Dear KP
Great to hear that you are okay. I went through some similar experience although not as dramatic as yours. The energy over time will find its own equilibrium. All the best.

I've had cold hands and cold feet for a week or so now, aswell as a feeling of numbness in them. I've heard that this is likely to be an energy blockage?  I am useless at finding where the blockage would be, I have stimulated all over using NEW, but still a bit unsure if they are blockages or not or what to do next.  I couldn't find any information on dealing with blockages apart from reiki, and my reiki doesn't seem to be helping.  I have come across some pains in my chest, back, neck and throat and sometimes in my left elbow.. Feelings of buzzing pressure and when I focus on them they become more painful.  I experimented with my chest the other night, and I focused and kept with the pain, eventually i felt a slight release and it moved up to my throat.  Do I have to do this again?  It's so painful.

I thought I had got rid of these pains the other week but now it seems they came back.

Any ideas?
