negative "side effects" to energizing chakras?

[Rahzul]

Hi. I have a question about the chakras, the dangers of energizing them, and kundalini energy.

For the past few days, sometimes part of my focus will wander and come to rest on one of my major chakras, or at least, on the place where I've read one of my major chakras is. This will happen with different chakras at different times. I understand that focusing on a chakra like this can energize it, and this has gotten me wondering if there are any negative effects to energizing chakras for hours at a time. The last time part of my focus wandered to a chakra was yesterday, and that part of my focus is still centered on that chakra! Whenever this happens I can't seem to get my focus off whatever chakra it is for more than a minute, and I do it through a focused effort of will that would likely be exhausting if I kept it up for a long time.

Although I'm interested in what negative effects can be had from focusing on any chakra, I'm particularly interested in what negative effects can be gotten from focusing too much on the crown and base chakras. I read an account once of how a guy doing unguided meditation on his crown shakra accidentally awakened his kundalini, and I definitely don't want that to happen to me, especially since I don't have a strong mind. The book Astral Dynamics also cautions against energizing the base chakra, although I forget exactly why. I still have to get that book back from my friend so I can look into it.

I'd like to add that this started happening after I decided to try to do try and energize some of my chakras while I was dreaming (foolish, I know). I got some really intense effects, like it being harder to breath and also feeling an interesting sensation of buzzing on my crown chakra. I'm just guessing but it seems to have caused this problem with my focus.

Oh, and in addition to wanting to know what sort of dangers there are to focusing on a chakra in this way, I was also wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get my focus off the chakras.

.....uh....

Heh, I guess I will admit it - the majority of the time that my focus wanders to a chakra, it is to the base chakra. I fear people may view me as perverted now =P but in addition to the above questions I must know - can this raise my kundalini accidentally or do anything else profoundly dangerous?

Thanks for any replies.

there are 7 sheaths around kundalini, the chances the you will awaken it are nil, but do "work on them equally" !, each one, chakra, that is

besides techniques info is distorted
also i will paste oazaki's info about chakras

One thing that always surprises me when looking at the stuff on energy body development and chakra work out there is how few people know of or work with the chakric level located at the point of the chin / back of the head. About the only people I've seen who mention it are Drunvalo Melchizedeck and yogi Bhajhan. Yet it is one of the body's main chakras and as central to the human being as the other, better known and publicized chakras. Before we go further on this here's some details as to what I'm talking about:

ADMEITUS / ERECHTHEUS CHAKRA – IDEALISM AND EFFECTIVENESS. The Admeitus level is located at the point of the chin, the Erechtheus level at the base of the skull on the back of the head. Relates to living freely and without compromise, making your dreams and values a reality. Detachment and self-discipline are strongly involved too.

IN MORE DETAIL:

ADMEITUS: Justness, courage. Admeitus is the lesson of the warrior-hero, the knight in shining armour. It is about determination, standing up for yourself and for what you believe in even if you are scared or it would be imprudent to do so. It is about being willing to take a stand and fight against injustice, and being unwilling to compromise your principles or back down. In its pure form there is at the Admeitus chakra a belief in righteousness, in doing the right thing, and its value. Honesty, forthrightness, forwardness, courage and beauty.

ERECHTHEUS: Again relates to combat and fighting. The key difference is that at this level, unlike at the Admeitus level, you are not fighting from within yourself as the ego personality with all the human frailty, fear, uncertainty and emotionality which that entails, but from within your Self as the entire creation itself. Action and intention at this level is characterized by the same sort of detachment and unstoppability as the flow of nature and the laws of the universe themselves. There is a high degree of detachment involved for you don't, emotionally or conceptually, really care whether you win or lose, live or die, at all. This contributes to making your mindstate (or, more accurately, your soulstate) at this level entirely uncompromising: you don't care whether you lose everything and so this frees you to fight in the most extreme way in order to attain your desired end. In other words there is no holding back out of fear and caution. There is at this level the ability to ride within the flows of nature, to control and direct them, and to bend the laws of probability to your will. It is not so much that you feel no fear but that fear itself does not even exist, does not even enter into consideration. In practice, action and intention from this level is vicious, extreme, unstoppable and yet controlled, detached and flowing. It is not action based on the frail superficiality of human morality (as at the Admeitus level) but on the necessity of the moment and on an inner freedom to embody the forces of nature, of the universe. That is probably the key to understanding the nature of the Erechtheus level: you address the problem, the obstacle in the most direct way possible i.e. without letting your ego personality and human concepts such as morality, restriction and fear get in your way.

Admittedly, I can understand why the traditional teachers kept this chakra secret for so long, given the areas of life that it governs and the powers / life abilities which development of said chakra produces in an individual. Further, as the Admeitus / Erectheus chakra is the last step before the third eye, by simply omitting to mention it, seekers fail to develop real third eye results unless they discover the "missing link" themselves, and so prove themselves ready to walk their own path. But hey, the time for secrecy has past and I reckon that if somebody can be bothered to do the esoteric work to develop a part of themselves in *any* area, then they should have available the necessary tools and knowledge to do so.

As some of you will probably know, each chakra corresponds to a specific planet. It's how astrology works and is also the mechanism by means of which karma activates. Admeitus corresponds to the newly-discovered planet out beyond Pluto, currently known as Quaoar. You can find out more about Quaoar here:
http://www.karmastrology.com/quaoar.shtml
and you can get hold of a Quaoar ephemeris here:
http://www.ephemeral.info/oldeph/

Erechtheus correpsonds to the planet known as Marduk by the Babylonians and reffered to as Nibiru in the Sumerian clay tablets. Though NASA has in fact re-discovered this planet already they're not making that discovery public yet, so I can't point you to any further web-based resources on it in line with what I gave you above for Admeitus. Still, shouldn't be long before Erechtheus's existence, too, is made public.

Rahzul I have had similar occurrences happening lately. Recently my base chakra has been very active. One time focusing on this chakra brought about tiredness which caused me to sleep for more than 15 hours a day for several days. I have also considered that this could be kundalini energy as sometimes it causes sharp pains at the base of the spine. My third eye chakra is also very active during most days. Both of these chakras usually automatically activate as soon as I think about them.

I have heard that as long as the chakras are in balance there is no danger of over energizing them. Seemingly the Kundalini rises only when a certain level of spiritual maturity is attained. I have heard that the force cannot rise barely by energizing the base or crown chakra. However I am not sure how reliable this is.

lol woha!!What a  *big* secret  prevented from us, by letting us forget concentrating to the back of the bodies.
I don't take my attention to each center anymore, cause i found this bug, that by doing this my awareness is flowing slightly out my body and affecting my energy centers only passive and without much stimulation that requires a lot of employment, joy and patience.
I just get on my back, and i feel dark stars arise which triing to breath but have nothing to breath cloudily and just go 'off' again.
And another *big* secret they prevented, is to watch which degree one has activated his kundalini brain-hammer.

Wha?

[Rahzul]

Thanks for yall's replies. I talked to someone in RL who knows about kundalini as well and they said it was extremely unlikely that I would awaken it. :p I feel a little foolish, but much relieved.

Basically, if what I've read in some books is right (I haven't gotten to Bruce's section on the major chakras yet), we always use our chakras for emotions and things. Just try not to focus on them too much and just let them open however much is natural until you're ready to seriously work with them.

[Time Traveler]

I am having the same sort of problem. Until only about a month ago I never seriously believed in Chakras. Now I seemed to activated them and I can't keep my mind off of them. All though out the day they seem to pulse, even when I am not really thinking of them. The only one that I have not opened is the Crown.

[You]

Not being at that stage, and not having any outside experience with them, I don't believe in them either. I see them as ways to focus on different aspects of our personality(ies if you prefer).
