Throat Anxiety and Sticky Energy

[Tom]

If you focus directly on the places where you are having unpleasant sensations, your concentration will act to magnify them. It is better to try to approach them from outside the affected area and study the boundaries where the sensations begin. You might have some luck causing those boundaries to shift and then dissolve, taking the symptoms with them. It has been a while since I've read the NEW tutorial and longer since reading Astral Dynamics, so I don't recall if there are any particular secondary centers near the throat or upper chest. It would help to look into this.

I also get energy stuck in the heart area (haven't managed to get energy through throat yet) and it is very hard to drag awareness away as the sensations are quite strong.  I dont know for sure but I expect those sensations to lesson as either the blockage is cleared or my energy body balances out with continued practise.  I try to visualy sweep all that sensation/energy down to my sub navel. I cant advise you on the Primary centres but I would have thought that you need to get energy running smoothly/balanced out in all areas before moving on to the next level?

When I do the full body circuit, energy noticeably gets "stuck" in my throat and chest region. (I lose a small bit or all of my awareness passing through this area.) This causes an immediate feeling of anxiety that I release with a deep breath. Also, when I pass energy through this area, my awareness sometimes gets locked on the beating of my heart (which might be harder and faster than usual during energy raising--or I'm just focusing on a normal beat).

Does anyone have any suggestions for overcoming these problems? In general, I can feel and move energy pretty easily. Would carefully beginning primary center work help to alleviate these problems or would it make them worse?

Would tracing awareness around the full body circuit without sponging help?

Thanks,

Mark
