Hey guys
I don't think this is written anywhere, but do you think that maybe there is an unwritten rule or recommendation somewhere that says that you should not be drinking any alcohol if/when you're practicing some kind of energy work? Thing is, I have been doing a lot of energy exercises lately as I'm trying to project, but have found that I cannot drink one glass of wine without it making me really drunk and sick. What the heck is going on? I mean, if I have to choose, I choose astral travelling every single time.
tipsy venus :-D
I have read more than one qi gong that specifically mention that consumption of alcohol should be avoided at least one hour (maybe 24 hours) prior to and after the exercises. I have also heard it from more than one person.
The energy work may make you more sensitive to chemicals in your body. Sometimes I can feel when foods are entering my bloodstream. Energy work is like turning up the volume on your stereo speakers. If you're playing loud rock music, you might get an overwhelming blast of noise. Same with energy work. Your brain is releasing certain chemicals which may not react so well with alcohol. Better to wait at least an hour after your energy work before drinking- unless it's kombucha, which is good for you and has only trace amounts of alcohol due to fermentation.
Thanks Ambient. It was more than an hour after my energy exercise. It looks like my body is rejecting alcohol in any case. Guess I have to say bye bye for good :-(
One other thing you can try is adjusting the dosage you are consuming. Maybe take half a glass or less?
