Energy rushing

[Rastus]

A good question.  I wonder if it's unusual to go from sitting down, to strobing chakras in under 15 seconds?  Sometimes in as little as 5 seconds, but there was some mental prep work ahead of time.

NEW is a guide, it is not carved in stone.  To be honest I've never worked my toes for energy, but then I didn't start out a complete beginner.  Once you hit a certain point, you can do things almost subconciously.  Things like going from cold to power in under 30 seconds.  You can't do that by stimulating your big toe first.  Once you know how your legs feel drawing power, then draw the power, your toes will fall in line.

Remember what NEW says, the more you work at it, the lower the sensations become?  Why?  because you minimal energal level is raised.  Your not going from Low to High, your going from medium-low to high, then medium to high, then eventurally your always high.

With practice you can open all your chakras at once instead of one at a time (I like the domino effect from bottom to top so to speak).  You don't have to every time, but being able to now and then is useful (sure was today, see other post).  So it is with energy building.  Some days your more "up" than others, so you can raise much quicker.  And then there are days I don't try anything because I'm just down.

well, if it starts burning, stop []
obviously you're developing, don't bother with stimulation if you feel energy pulsing through them, try to control it
visualizing a pillar of light from your head to base of the spine with balls of light at the ends and each chakra as a sphere of different colour opens them faster, single thought

rastus, you're down psychicaly, energeticaly or mentaly ??
each of them can be cured with energy raising [] (at least that's what i do when i'm down)

Well today it's physical from food poisioning.  I have a certain amount of energy trickling through, so instead of puking in buckets I'm only minorly irratated.  Probably be anotehr 12 hours to purge the toxins out (bad...bad crab dip).

In general, some days I'm "up" more than others.  On some days I can build power with no effort, for others I have to use teh "long" method.  The difference is 3 minutes versus 15.

Then there are the days my kids won't leave me alone for 5 minutes []

I know, I'm just second-guessing myself.  I went for so long thinking I was metaphysically inept that when something works well, I tell myself that I must be imagining things, or that I obviously haven't put in the work to get to that level yet so it can't be true.
But there's no denying those days in which the chakras open up within a second (with brief mental prep work that you mention).

So when this happens, I could consider my chakras to be strobing?

I actually find it helpful sometimes to stimulate my toes, if I'm sitting around inside.  However, when I'm outside, the energy always wants to come down through my crown.

"With practice you can open all your chakras at once instead of one at a time (I like the domino effect from bottom to top so to speak)."  

Yes, it's happening more and more.

I hope you're feeling better.  Food poisoning sucks.

Let me clarify Strobing.  I do a lot of healing style work, which is mostly Heart Chakra.  It does indead strobe like a camera flash.  but, strobing all your Chakras may not be good.  It's never been an issue for me, but as I've read you may be into Kundalini, and there are side effects.

Third-Eye strobing has all kinds of interesting results.  But that's more for far-seeing.

When I'm outside, I like to raise power up through my feet(earth power) and down into my head(sun or stars).  It mixes in the middle and gives me a roller-coaster sensation []

It definately sounds like you are on the right path.  The more work you do, the easier it is, and the less effective meditation seems.  It is what probably discourges most beginners the most, initially everything is very black and white, but as tehy "progress" it seems to fade???

[Naiad780]

I ask about the strobing because I frequently experience a brow strobe effect, and it's very strong.  When the energy simply rushes up my spine so quickly, it's also strong but it's not the same thing as the brow strobe.  If I were actually strobing all my chakras (like how my brow does) at once, I think I might be incapacitated (come to think of it, that may have happened once or twice)! So what I orginally described is probably not a strobe, maybe just a very fast opening.

When raising energy through the primary centers, I usually do all that Robert Bruce recommends in Astral dynamics (tearing, strirring, etc.) and by the time I'm done with all that, I can really feel the energy flow.

However, sometimes it just happens!  The energy just shoots right up my spine in a fraction of a second through all the chakras.  It's very intense.  I don't have time to flick my awareness back to my feet after each chakra and do the mental tearing thing because by the time I start to do that, the energy is already at my crown.

When that happens, should I go back and do the mental stimulation anyway, or would that be overstimulating the chakras?
