Ahh base chakra and energy raising question

[Ides315]

Hi, metaphysics


Save that one for the last, or you will have problems. Read Roberts warnings. By all means practice more, like anything else the more you practice, the better you get. If you get the rest of your energy body in shape, the chakras will start on their own. Otherwise you will be looking for advice on fixing the problems you created.

Best of luck

kay, i'm just guessing here, but the primary center is the heart chakra?

even if it isn't, though, do you hold the energy you have raised in the chakra, or do you just push it to the chakra and then let it go? if you aren't holding it there, that may be a problem, but i am also going to guess that if you are doing the stuff correctly (from robert's book) then you have already gone through other chakras (and this would then address ides statement) and you ARE indeed holding it in the chakra.

but it might just be that you won't feel anything. i have accessed my chakras a few times, and it was really difficult for me to find a couple of them just because none of the chakras were giving off any feelings like heat or cold. one chakra throbbed a bit, but the ones i really had difficulty with were ones where the feel of them was almost the exact same as the feeling of the energy i use (kinda like trying to see green leaves through green lens binoculars). i really don't think that there is some sort of universal law stating that chakras will always produce significant feelings when they have energy brough into them, but i haven't done extensive studies on either my self or (more importantly) other people. so i guess this means my entire post was just a big waste of time    cool, nes pa?

Hey, meta

Save your base chakra for last, until you can dissapate the energy into the rest of your system. It is highly loaded with sexual overtones at first, until you learn how to control it. After a while it is easy to ignore that part of it, as the energy is a few shades different than sexual stimulation, and once you recognise the difference it is not an issue. That energy turned on and stuch there will cause you a lot of problems. Besides myself, I have lit up other peoples energy body. That chakra always has the same effect initially, and immediately has to be spread around. Just let it come on naturally, it will be a lot better for you.

The sensations seem to vary a lot between people, and the state of their chakras. My personal (and limited) experience points to the idea that less developed people have greater physical sensations. Mine feel the same as when you touch your tongue to a C cell battery for a energy check, more or less. There is a slight pressure sensation, but not much. I know people that have had the heart attack like sensations that Robert describes.

Best to all

I thought I remembered reading in Astral Dynamics that you should raise energy into the base chakra and around the genital and onto the navel center. This is true and can be found on page 175 of AD. Robert says, "...direction stimulation is not advised.", in regard to the genital chakra. Not only can the base chakra be stimulated but, as Mr. Bruce puts it, "...is the most important primary center to stimulate," also he mentions, "Unless the base center is suffciently stimulated, energy may not flow strongly enough into the higher centers to enable any noticeable activation."

So, as far as I can see, you're doing everything right. Robert also says that significant energetic sensations are not necessarily going to take place.

What I think Robert Bruce is talking about with regards to direct Chakra stimulation, is a little like if you were to build a pyramid:

"Don't build it up side down" http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

If you are going to stimulate your chakras, always make sure to "go through" all the underlaying chakras before you reach the chakra you want to stimulate - that way you are "building" your chakras like you would build a pyramid - the RIGHT side up http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0>

It is really good advice to actually wait with direct chakra stimulation until you have a good and stabil energy-flow in the rest of your body. To my knowledge, the chakras can hold a lot of pend up feelings, and it is NOT a nice thing, if years of pend up sadnes, anger, rage or whatever suddenly is released without warning ... (It is a good thing, that they are released, but it is the way they are released that matters !!)

I have been put down a few times by releasing (touching) on some rather unpleasant feelings / emotions strong enough, that it took me several weeks to get back on my feet again (emotionally).

So what I am trying to do is energy-work, Core-image work (PPSD), Journey-works (Getting to the "root" of my behaveour), and only here recently have I started with a little bit of direct chakra stimulation once or twice a week, with my BaseChakra receiving about 6-10 times as much energy as my Crown-chakre each time I do it. (Listen to your intuition on that one - if it is OK to do Chakra stimulation !!)

Some people say "No Pain, No Gain" ... But if the pain nearly kills you, what is the meaning in doing it then ?

Yoga centers around energy. The breathing exercises called pranayama are about control of energy starting with its clearest and most observable form, energy which comes in with the breath. Then there are exercises called bandhas which are used to clear blocks from chakras and to keep energy you raise through pranayama from leaking out of your chakras. The search engines are very helpful if you type in a search for bandha or pranayama. I wish I knew the subjects well enough to go into detail, but if I forget something and someone gets hurt that would be a bad thing.

Hi everyone,
I was just wanting some advice on primary center stimulation re. the base chakra.  I have tried several times but all I can achieve is a buzzy, tingly feeling that occurs ONLY after I've just raised energy into it and for about half a second.  Nothing significant.  Not heat, cold, throbbing, etc.
Any advice is welcome thanks.

Also, if you energy raise for an hour a day, will you advance four times faster than if you did it for 15 minutes per day? How does this work?
Thanks,
Metaphysics
