Re-energizing atrophied chakra

[Ochiidu Nobunaga]

OK, here is the situation.

All my chakra are under-active. Every last one has atrophied with the heart being the closest to balance, although still falling short. However, I am quiet empathic and when I am around crowds of people I believe I take in every person's energy and it is just too much. So I'm not quiet sure if my problem is atrophied metaphysical organs of an "allergic reaction" to other people's energy. I become so self-conscious to the point that I have to concentrate just to walk properly. It's as if every persons' eyes are on me even if I can look and see that people are not looking at me.

This issue continues to get worse and worse over the years and I need some help. I found this Mystic/GnosticWeb site  and found the moderators to be alittle too "wrong" for me. Something was creepy about the whole thing. This site seems a lot more simple. Information is there without any strings attached and I feel more trusting towards this none cult environment.

What would be suggested to get me on track to being normal? I'm not suicidal or anything, but if it continues to go downhill like this I have no doubt I will become suicidal as I may eventual get to the point where other people cause me pain. I can't remember when things started going downhill, but I was not always like this and can't understand why this is happening.

Some people go out into a crowd of people and they are energized by it. Other people can go out into a crowd and then need to be alone to recover. People exchange energy all the time. As long as you think of it as your personal energy, you can be drained. It is okay to change your beliefs, so that you believe that a universal supply of energy is flowing through you and that when people receive energy it is coming through you from the limitless supply. This can leave you with more energy than you had before. You do not need to be attuned to reiki to change your beliefs so that your energy comes from a limitless supply. It can help to receive reiki attunements and lessons if you want to shift your beliefs and simply find it difficult to do this on your own.

This isn't a matter of different machines running on one battery. This is a matter of a calculator, for example, drawing in the essence of a car. Calculators aren't driven around. I am taking on people empathically. It is too much for me. Although that may not necessarily be causing my problem. From what I've read I believe my chakra are all atrophied or they shut down when other people's energy collide with my own because I fit the under-active description for every last one or a mixture of balanced and under-active. This phenomenon has developed gradually over years.

Any methods for shielding myself from other people and techniques to permanently keep my chakra open?

What is reiki?

Reiki is a form of healing, i recommend www.sharereiki.org as a place to start, and as for a shield, www.psipog.net or something is the website they have how to make energy Shields, but i think that site is a bit evil:s

Konichiwa Nobunaga san,

I really must take up Japanese again.  I love how it makes my head feel.

Anyways,
I can relate to your current experience as I used to walk around being a psychic sponge and freaking out that everyone could read my thoughts.  

Issues that caused great difficulty at the time where:
The idea that I am me and she is she and that we are seperate.
These are my thoughts and energy
Those are her thoughts and energy
I do not like this
They do not like that

In a way, I set up my belief structure that made it very difficult to interract with the world at an interconnected level.  I found very quickly how terrible it could be raising my energy and becomming more aware of an energy system without also incorporating new belief structures.  

When we become more aware (I hate to use the word energy as it severly limits our perception, so I'm going to try and drop it for now) we start to see our reality in a different way.  Some people are best able to descripe it as an energy.  When we choose to describe our awareness in terms of energy, we must realize that we are using the word 'energy' as a shorthand for something else.  Maybe becomming aware of consciousness would be a better way to think of it.  If we start doing energy work without understanding what this energy is, then we will very quickly run the same old maze of categorizing this 'energy' as my energy of her energy or bad energy or good energy.  

You are just becomming more aware of what is going on.  Previously, all the same things were happening to you, but you were not aware of them happening, so you did not have to consciouslly process them and try to bring them to some level of understanding.  Now that you are aware of them, you are running that awareness through your brain and it is analysing it in the same old way that it analyses everything else.  Basically, it brakes it down into dualistic concepts of reality, since that is the programming most people are stuck with.  So, when you sense 'energy' your brain will immediately add a layer of interpretation to it that says this is mine or that is hers or it is bad or it is good.

I believe this is why sages of old and present were so adament that you be firmly grounded in understanding the nature of the universe before starting any meditation practices.  At least, they thought you should have an experienced guide along the way with you or that you should heavily cleanse your phsyical and mental bodies (i.e. the eight fold path or the 8 limbs of yoga where we must purify our thoughts, actions, and physical body before we ever get to meditation), which is why occult practices were always so secretive.  They did not want the average joe, to start trying this and that and then go mad.

Now, it is not necessary to have such a guide.  If you are careful and take things slow, most of it will reveal itself to you.  There are 'lessons' to be learned and if you fail to recognize something, believe you me it will make itself clear to you even if it has to become a fire breathing dragon boogeyman to do so.

The point currently being that we are interconnected.  There is always going to be an exchange of 'energy' as long as people are transmitting their 'energy'.  It has helped me to realize that in this interconnectedness we all share everything.  I have learned to let the surronding energy flow through me without letting it get blocked in me.  If there is a blockage in me then that energy is going to get absorbed into me when it attempts to pass through me.  If I feel heated because of someone's hate it is only because that hate also exists whithin me.  If I become sad because of someone's sadness it is because that sadness is expressed within me.  We must learn to let go and have no attachements to anything.  We are everything.  There is no need to be attached to what you already are.  I am me and you and him and her and us and them...  I am that I am

Let go of your negativity and negativity will no longer bother you.  It will pass right through you in the eternal flow of consciousness.  You will still be aware of it, but you will no longer be it because you are aware that you are no one thing.

Even all of this is a belief construct and as such it will change with more insight.  Yet, it seems more useful than the old one that I was using.  

I still do not understand what it means to do energy shielding and how i can incorporate that into my current belief system.  If anyone has any ideas, please pass them on.  Else, I will be forced to do the reasonable thing and look inside for the answers.
