Heart Chakra's Powers

[upstream]

The heart chakra is associated with the ability to project in the real time zone, as you can see in your list. It could be activated by light ball visualisations and breathing. A fully activated heart chakra makes the sleep superficial and OBE-conductive. You become lucid in your dreams more easily and the possibility to have awareness of your paralysed body will increase.

Meditating on the heart yield some abstract thoughts whilst the breathing causes great silence. As an oppose to the solar plexus, the heart chakra focus has an activating effect due to the local sympathetic nerves of the regio that will be stimulated by the increased bioplasm density. I suppose the chakra itself is partly a projection of the locus coeruleus centered noradrenaline neuromodulatory system and limbic structures.

The heart regio is one of the three main exit point and attachemnt point of the "most serious cables." If you activate the heart chakra in a lucid dream it makes the dream more OBE like. I've found that the heart chakra is strongly connected to the ajna and in the paralysed state somewhat to the Hara as well.

I always thought of the heart chakra as the seat of love; if your chakra is properly active you sould be radiating love to all beings (not in a soppy way but a genuine feeling of love). i understood this to be the gateway to the higher faculties opening up fully of their own accord, although you can obviously go around the system if you try hard enough.

re the little blue man i wonder if this is the secret that swami muktananda mentions in his book 'play of conscoiousness'

I'm reading this book: Exploring Chakras by Susan G. Shumsky, and its about, you might have guessed it already - Chakra's! Its really instresting, it discribes in detail what the chakra system is and what each chakra means and does, it also gives the Indian mytholagie about it. On the discription of what each chakra does or is associated whit there is a general explanation, but also an explanation about the so called petals. (like that of a flowers) Each petal has a characteristic or an ability, there are two chakras that are instresting in this way.

1) The thirth eye chakra (ajna) or brow chakra.

The chakra is divided into 3 subchakras. One of them is called Manas and is the seat of sense impression. Sound, Odor, Flavor, Touch, Form and Sleep. This is where the clair-senses operate. They are activated by working on the thirth eye chakra. This chakra works in a pretty understandable way i think.

2) The heart chakra.

Now this is the chakra im intrested in, or rather its subchakra, the hrit chakra. This chakra has 8 petals.

They have the following charactaristics:

1) anima: the ability to transform your body the the size of an atom.

2) laghima: Power to levitate.

3) mahima: Power to increase nodily weight or become mighty.

4) prapti: Power to fulfill desires and go anywhere at will.

5) prakamaya: Power to pass trough anything and take any form.

6) vashitva: Power over the five elements, and the subtle senses, this is the power to attrack other and/ or enslave them.

7) isitrtva: Mastery of the appearance disappearence and aggregation of the five elements.

8 )yatrakamavasaitva: The ability to determine the five elements and their nature to transform them at will.Power to conquer and subortdinate others.

The only thing that is writen about opening it is this: Close your eyes and imagine a thumb-sized blue being in the cave of your heart.

If you have more information on this chakra, or you can confirm this chakra truly exist in the given way, i would like to hear it.

Also if you have a more detailed method of working whit this chakra or to unleas its powers i would like to hear that also.
