Side Effects of NEW

[LindaS]

Hello,
I have a question.  I started doing the NEW exercises directing the resulting energy to the subnavel energy center as directed in R. Bruce's first book.  Since then I have had a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders.  I eased off of the exercises and am feeling better now.  Could this have been a side effect of the exercises?

I am somewhat puzzled by this since I direct energy through my body all the time for healing purposes.  I practice Reiki, Quantum Touch, Reconnection, etc.  I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who is knowledgeable about the exercises.  I have had kundalini experiences in the past.

Sincerely,
Linda

It's funny that you should mention this. I have had a similar experience since I started using NEW. I started to get a slight neck muscle ache, but only on the left side. I suppose this could be attributable to an energy blockage, but like you I too would like to hear any feedback about the exercises.

Some people seem to be more sensitive than others to energy changes in their body. For me it always seems to manifest itself the same way stress does. When I first started doing NEW I was filled with nervous energy during the day, and would get pains in my side like I do when I'm stressed. Here's what happened when I started Gateway:

There's some good advice there. Since I knew it was probably being caused by the exercises, I just kept doing them until it went away.

Hmmm, energy block huh?  Well, I wondered about that.  Call me a wimp, but my neck felt like I had whiplash.  I don't know what to think.  I was outside with a maddox trying to chunk up a tree root.  I'm normally pretty mild mannered, so maybe it's just a muscle strain, or some weird pillow complication.  I've done that type of work before though with no problem. Thanks for the link Stookie.  There was interesting information there.  I appreciate everyone's comments and insight.

p.s. I'll get busy with the NEW exercises again.
