frightening results with NEW

[Kalonek]

Hello Andaman !
I've done NEW for about 1 year and 1/2 now, about 1 to 2h per day (average). It really kicks butt However, i don't remember having this kind of electrical shocks when starting it. Are you sure it is related ? Does it happen to you in many places or just your house (could be a problem in the circuit ?) However, if your sur it's related, i think that it shows you you are doing some progress. Don't be alarmed, energy is not like electricity, it might be that you have become suddenly more receptive of energies. But it shouldn't last very long. It's quite normal to get a few "weird" manifestation when starting NEW, for it clears the biggest blockages at first. It'll get better very soon, with the stabilization of your energy body. So don't give up ! It's REALLY worth the effort !

real shocks? can you actually see the discharge? (spark)

if so I would use that ability to go mess up bank machines.
I wish I was electrokinetic , Imagine typing without a keyboard.

Kalonek (or anyone):

When doing the NEW ways, I distinctly feel sensations in the body parts I am focusing on.  I recall reading that some sensations can be caused by blockages and whatnot (the first day, I had tremendous bone-deep pains in both ankle-bones, as if someone were drilling the marrow out!).  I'm curious whether you feel anything after you've "conditioned" your chakras and energy-body.  The reason I ask is because when I work on my left hand (specifically the top/back of the hand knuckles) I feel absolutely nothing.  This seems to be the only place in my body where I get no sensations at all.  Would this indicate blockage, or free-flow?  Thanks!

Ye ive had it , ussually when i went to bed i would feel like i was conducting current, Then suddenly a spark went off in my hair right off the scalp. couldnt see it but i sure heard and felt it, i actually blanked out for a moment.

It wasnt after new but it was after meditating much. Anyway it went away after a month or so. And doesnt seem dangerus ,just annoying.

It's good to know you've experienced this for a month without any injury, or worsening of the condition.  When doing the NEW work I've mostly felt tingling, at times some very slight pain.  I haven't gotten to my hands yet as I've jus begun reading that section.  This has mostly happened while in my apartment, sometimes while touching objects that would have no connction to the electrical circuitry.  And yes, when I touch the light switches I see sparks.  Fortunately that stopped happening after I stopped the NEW exercises for a few days.  I'll see what happens now that I'm starting up again.  BTW, according to the passage I've just read in Astral Dynamics, minor sensations suggests good energy flow while complete lack of sensation suggest major energy blockage.

Hello Targa !
First of all, it is of course totally normal to feel some mild sensations on the part of the body you're focusing your physical awareness on.  And if you focus enough, you can even feel a light vibration (energy body). After a year and a half, i still feel major sensations in my energy body while doing NEW, but not the same kind i used to feel at the beginning. This is normal for 2 main reasons : when beginning energy work, you got many blockages that are undone and it causes a lot of unique cases and energy movements that won't come back again. I remember having felt some real important physical pain in my skin in my feet and legs when developing the pathways there. About the primary chakras, i still have some blockages i am working on, that makes some chakras difficult to activate, but it takes many years to have a full balanced energy body so it's normal too. So yes i still have a lot of sensations, which is normal and indicates me the type of energy, its flow, its strenght etc i am raising. However for your case, a zone with a total absence of physical awareness is a hint : you should pay attention to it, and moreover in a place like a hand, as the palm chakras are very important for your further developement. You should take more time to activate all this, like, for example spend 5 minutes on the right hand and then as long as it takes, even an hour if needed, to get some sensations in the left hand. Absence of sensation never indicates free-flow, even masters still feel a little sensation of energy (though they absorb an enormous quantity at once). You should feel that your awareness can pass through it without being blocked too.
So, work on your feet and hands a few weeks, until the sensations are the about the same in all, and then it should be better. It can take moths before the sensations start to calm down little by little, being after that more or less the same each time. No more pain in skin, bones etc.

I am reading Bruce's Astral Dynamics and have just begun exercises in developing NEW pathways.  I have not done any for several days, however.  After working thoroughly on my legs (the next section is on arms, I haven't read it yet) I have had the experience of electrical shocks.  This is like static electricity, only much more severe.  It happens when I touch objects that can function as conductors, and when I flick light switches it is so strong I began using other objects that cannot carry electrical current to flick the switch with.  

This worried me, and since I have not done any work with NEW for a few days it has begun to fade somewhat.  I am concerned that if I progress too far too fast with the work that severe static electrical shocks might graduate to mild electrocutions.  That, of course, would not be fun.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Any advice?  It is important to me that I can accomplish the goals I've laid out for myself regarding astral projection, but I don't want to harm myself in the process.  Thanks!
