Working on Chakras

[Tom]

When I first learned about chakras, it was only the primary centers. That was where I started. There were times when during attempts to meditate I felt like many small insects were crawling on me, but did not see them. The odd energy effects should change after a while. Most sources don't even try to deal with secondary centers.

Hi Tia, the other day I did an exercise I heard on the radio....you imagine you are tickling points inside your brain, about an inch behind your eyeballs. You imagine you are using a feather. The guy that mentioned this was www.neilslade.com , it all looks a bit iffy to me.

Anyway after doing this for about 5mins, I became bored and decided to go up the high street and do some shopping. I quickly became EXTREMELY lethargic ...I actually wanted to lie down and sleep when i was in one shop. I also became very disorientated. I noticed that it took me about 30mins to walk a distance that would normally take about 10 mins.

I'm assuming that these side effects are the ones Robert Bruce refers to when clearing a blocked energy centre...but regardless, I haven't tried it again !! I wish that i had some of the more pleasant / interesting symptoms you describe !!

Ps, I mentioned it all to my girlfriend ....bad move. She now thinks i'm insane. I won't be doing that again in a hurry.

Ive felt some weird sensations.Everytime I work on the chakras.I always feel something.Yesterday my solar plexus felt really tight and warm.I wasnt even doing anything.

How often do you go through your chakras?I try to go through them once a week.With the techniques in AD.Sometimes I miss a week or 2.But I dont disregard them completely like before.Is this enough?

Ive seen a huge spider but it wasnt on me.There may very well be astral bugs all around us.They are all over the physical world.So why not on the astral?

The chakras are all associated with different things. The primary ones, I mean. Each of the seven chakras governs a gland, parts of the body, and types of energy. When you are aware of your whole body at once and do a whole body relaxation, you are working with your primary chakras. Your secondary chakras, too. Adding to this, spending some time relaxing your breathing, slowing and deepening it, helps your energy system. It is possible to use purely physical means to help your energy centers.

I've read that there are chi kung exercises for connecting points in the brain to each other, but that it is exceedingly inadvisable to try it without being under the guidance of a master. It seems that unpleasant side effects are easier to obtain than good results.

I only did the chakra exercises once, was intending to do them once a day but haven't had time since, been lucky to do any NEW at all.
I will make a determined effort tomorrow and see if I get any more interesting side effects.  

Has anybody seen a chakra?  With astral sight or anything?  I was dropping off to sleep the other night and I suddenly became aware I was looking at a bright red light which was brighter almost pink  in the centre.  I wondered if this was representing the base chakra in any way - maybe I was just looking at a red traffic light somewhere...

Ditto on the lethargy, slight emotional/mental instability (thoughts and feelings blown out of proportion), and a little more "buzzy" than usual. That's it though, so far, with respect to the primary centers. I've had more effects (problems) from just raising energy. My face puffing up and headaches. http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile.gif" border=0> I'm going to post in detail about that as soon as I have some extra time. Nothing that worrisome.

well I had this strange vision,Dream?It looked like a chakra.The vortex like thing that  is described in AD.It was light red mixed with some pink.It was like 2 funnels of these  colors  swirling around.

Joined up at the smaller ends vertically.Def.Looked like some type of energy in motion.
The strange part is there was 3 women dancing around it.I dont know what it meant.But I imediately thought of a chakra when it happened.

I did chakra exercises for the first time the other day.  Has anybody experienced certain phenomena when first starting NEW on the Primary centres?  I only did it once as I have been a bit lazy.

I saw a spider on my arm (astral sight) and keep feeling energy movement going off by itself.  I'm wondering if I have disturbed a few things, like having a bit of an energy clearout?
