NEW??? it should be RCAH

[Rastus]

I found it an interestring read.  But then I've been doing energy work a long time.  Parts I now use and parts I ignore.

What is causing you the most problems?  The "Energy Hands" concept or moving your conciousness around in your body(I won't mention you can move it out of your body also)?

[Naiad780]

Yes, tell us what is confusing about it and maybe we can help.

I find it quite simple regarding other technics of energy development. Also if you don't get results the first times it doesn't mean you're doing things wrong, it can take some training before you feel your energy well.The principle of NEW is however very simple and Rastus has summed it well : it's all about moving your body awareness around. To be simple, put your hand at 1" above your leg for example. Close your eyes and FEEL this proximity, inside your leg. You'll have a special feeling. Now put your hand off and just imagine that your hand is above your leg. You then feel this thing again in you leg.  THIS is body awareness. Now just imagine that you move your hand around your body and you'll have this feeling everywhere (almost, if you don't feel anything it can mean that there's a blockage in fact). That's it, if you can do this, you can do NEW, for it's the basics of NEW and you'll need no more.

Rastus:
in which way you ignore it, i don't bother with it altogether, just absorb energy with my whole body (not just skin, every organ and bone as well) during in breath, direct it to subnavel centre,and that's it
what happens when one finishes filling all centres (i'm at brow centre now)??, you're left with working on opening all chakras,healing people etc etc ??

Interesting, so it's not just me.  There are times, particularly when I'm outdoors, that I draw energy through my entire body, like through my pores, almost.  Other times, it works best through my feet and hands.  I didn't know other people did that too, cool.

[daem0n]

after activating minor chakras, bouncing, praying, healing oneself, accumulating power whole energy body grows, i think it's just a matter of practice, and i KNOW that anyone advanced can do it
i can do it anywhere, anytime, though
Naiad, i recommend you start reading initiation into hermetics by Franz Bardon (made a post about that lately), it's in magic: great books, second page, in pdf

Kalonek:

I don't do a lot of work on my toes and thumbs.  I do legs and arms instead.  Never have quite figured out the whole "sub Navel" region, I'm more of a whole body type person.  It did help me with moving my conciousness around (sounds silly, but never thought to try beyond reading people/things).

Everyone does things differently.  At some point you have to decide what works for you and what doesn't.  While I'm sure NEW can work for nearly everyone, I know there are better methods for some people.  It's actually a fairly confusing read for someone totally unfamilair with the tennants.

i always thought that in energy manipualation your mind has to be like scalpel, cold and precise, when you can focus on any part of your body, charge it with energy, and so on
if you can't direct it well you can really mess up someone you try to heal (or really mess up attacker [}:)] if you do)
no harm meant, just curious

[Rastus]

Actually that's a good question.  For me, I don't do precision surgery.  Mostly I clear away cloudy areas by energizing them, that's more of an Auric approach (versus Reiki).  I can charge something by focusing on it, but unless your charging up a thumbtack, how focused do you need to be?  I haven't come across something that requires a metaphysical scalpel yet.  I have used a metaphysical knife and sword for certain tasks.

For deep work I can see what I'm working on, so I have 'visual' feedback as to where to apply what energy.  Chakra's can be quite visible, so that's a form of feedback for energy manipulation.  I mean I usually use my hand as a conduit, but that's just an aid.  It's also possible to do direct Chakra to Chakra energy work (and it can be a religious experience), but the positions can be a little too intimate [:O]

Namaste,
     there is a process that is quite common in archaic healing(think greek)...its today known as psychic surgery.  in my honest opinion it is probably the most stupid and unwise thing to practice.  and i have done just that.  in fact, i did it not knowing that was what i was doing.  its an ancient healing tech....ya know, the further you go back, the more you find that all those healing things people used to do were, or are, very capable of doing massive damage....psychic surgery is a great example....basically you have to have the ability to enter into a state of dharana(one-pointedness of mind)and then you start slicing up someones consciousness.....shrug.  things can be so ambiguous.  refer-> intent...  
     basically, what i have found is that you need the ability to steady the mind, or achieve dharana before you enter into any intense energy work, or you end up screwed and screwed up.  thats me 2 sense.   namaste
