hi all, heres something ive been wondering about for a while. do bodypiercings in any affect way the energy flow of the chakras? lets say if someone had their bellybutton pierced would this effect the navel chakra? the thought occured to me because its a piece of metal in an energy centre which could bee seen as electric, and maybe putting a piece of metal in it would disupt or change the flow of energy there. anyone have any insight on this? thanks!
I wouldn't say they affect energy transfer, but I'd guess they get in the way when you try to project. Robert Bruce states in Astral Dynamics that jewelry prevents the projectable double from forming correctly, and so I assume that goes double for body jewelry.
ahh, thanks for that info cheyyne. does it make it impossible to project or just more difficult, because i have my tongue piereced and im getting another piercing in a few weeks, and i do not want to take them out :( anyone with bodypiercings successful in OBEs?
I have piercings, and Ive never had problems because of them.
In pranic healing, it is customary to remove metal jewelry. ( Of course, that usually applies to watches and rings :) ) Besides being distracting to participants in the healing process, energy can find jewelry to be conductive, reflective, or massive as metals tend to be.
Your particular metal probably contains programming in that it promotes fear in popular society through reproach of the body.
Don't think I'm getting judgemental on you. The least of what I have under my bed is several colors of Doc Martens, and I happen to like girls with piercings.
Quote from: runlolaCaroline Myss said it was a way for the young to feel accepted in a tribe—(stuck in first chakra.)
Hi, Runlola!
Could you please elaborate on this ^ please? I'm especially interested in how the root chakra is connected to being accepted in a 'tribe'. I have my own assumptions on this but am keen to read your opinion.
Greetings
so if i wore a plastic retainer, would that be better or still interfering? and yes, my dad used to do acupuncture and he said its not good neither :(
and about the acceptance in a tribe (?) i didnt get pierced to fit in or get accepted, i did it cause i like it if that makes any diffrence :p
Remember that energy follows thought. I've had one of those ^&%$ retainers and am assuming it is just better to be comfortable. As per my understanding, the acupuncturist's needle is mostly a visual aid for which there is no need if the energetic principles are considered. Like the body jewelery, the purpose of the needles is that they are a center of attention.
Besides, there happens to be a circuit in what Daoists call "the microcosmic orbit." It is their belief that a circuit is completed when the tongue touches the roof of the mouth. Simply put, it is one of the pathways which recirculate kundaletic energy throughout the body.
Certainly, the pathway is not physical. Physical things are not necessarily a block. But focus upon a nuissance is.
I was privvy to an interesting demonstration. A dispersion pattern was programmed into a piece of blank paper, and I was told to charge up the paper. A wall of heat could be felt pushing from the paper. It quickly wained and blew throughout the room.
Now, in the way of a retainer, we are talking about focusing energy through a center of irritating thought. Even if you are not doing microsmic orbit, there is an everpresent nuissance. Rather than that thought energy being dispersed as it finds it way to the nuissance, it will be going to feed the nuissance.
As far as jewelry was concerned, it is a little different than other fashion statements. For instance, I take pride in my well oiled leathers, etc., but piercing is a rite of passage. This is something at least a little less likely to be undertaken by poserly types due to the ordeal. The importance of the tribe is being placed over that of that of the body.
While you are paying attention, at least in the back of your mind, part of the the excess energy is going to the memory of a symbolic sacrifice.
Hmmm... yet another post I come across where the extensive commentary I have put time and effort into composing has been eliminated without explanation... lovely.
I believe my comment in this thread was along the lines of non-biological foreign bodies interfering with natural life force, but that many cultures that many of our modern 'energy body' principals are based upon did use body piercings so perhaps this believe of mine is flawed. Prince Siddhartha had Indian earrings after all, though I am unsure if he kept them after becoming the Buddha, but his ears were certainly still very long.
Seriously, whatever moderator deleted this, I'm calling you out, tell me who you are and why you are deleting my posts without telling me why. All I want is an e-mail, I defer to your whims but you must give me guidance so that I can modify my posting rather than generic sweeping instructions that you get from making assumptions about my motivations. Specific examples are what I learn from much better. Thank you now.
Proper jewelry is made of 316LVM stainless steel, which is the same steel used in surgical tools, pacemakers, etc., specifically because the human body does not typically react or reject the substance. Biologically there is little effect, which I think would be the same for energy circulation.
logic, titanium is the preferred metal for piercings because some people have allergic reactions to SS. so i guess that would be ok then?
To reiterate, it is mostly an issue of attention.
Titanium is not preferred. 316LVM causes the least ammount of allergic reactions, which is why its used on the body as previously stated.
i will not claim to know anything of the subject, but if we propose that piercigs do make it more difficult to have an o.b.e
how will surgically implanted screws affect said activity?
i had my knee fixed some years back, and now have 2 metal screws in my right knee,
so with some certanty i can say my piercings will not be coming out.
Quotehow will surgically implanted screws affect said activity?
Nothing will necessarily, especially if you have no irregular symptoms suggesting imbalance in the area.
I would even go so far as to say that adornments can have a medicinal effect. It is all an issue of how they are being used and the ways in which they attract the wearer's attention to the area.
A torn leaf, like a severed limb, shows where the remnant was on a Kirlian photo. I am talking about mental and spiritual aspects rather than the physical. There might be large ear rings in a person's ear. If a person thinks that they are heavy, then the
idea of heaviness at the ears makes it's way into meditation, etc.
Simply do your best to provide for undivided attention.
Does anyone have any experience with titanium dental implants? My dentist has recommended one to replace a missing molar, but I'm concerned about it's possible effects on my energy work. Would it be worse to have metal in the head than elsewhere in the body?
The mouth (or was it the tongue or the lips, not sure) is one of the focal points in the body of the major tertiary gates according to Robert Bruce's NEW. While the exercises in NEW revised seem to concentrate more on the sensitive areas of the tongue and lips, I think the gums would probably come into play eventually, and yes, I think it's the gums that would be more of a focal point than the teeth. You can probably just move around it, dental implants don't go all too deep.
One interesting prospect is this: what's worse, having no arm, or having no arm with a prosthetic in place of it? I honestly don't see why an implant is worse than nothing, and if it's a necessity (or pleasantry) then there's really not that big a reason to remove it just so you can get your energy to work easier. There are always ways around it, and I'm sure it's nothing compared to the problems of negative entities or energy blocks. If you have the skill and dedication to work around it, were you ever to remove it, you'd probably be wicked good cool!
One other idea comes to mind... when you astrally project or go OBE, your astral self, aura, energy body, not sure if they're all the same thing... they separate. Wouldn't this mean that your energy body would operate unhindered of any solely physical/biological blocks in it's path? In that case, it's probably a great shortcut to bypass the limitation is my theory is correct...
Yes, as I understand it, the astral & etheric bodies etc are perfect - no physical defects. So I guess an implant wouldn't have an effect once out of the body. And with other energy work I probably could work around it like you say. Will keep all that in mind when I decide - thanks
Astral bodies are perfect? I don't believe so. If they were perfect, what do we call the energy blocks? The negative entities? No, I think they have their own kinds of flows.
