Mark,
It took a while, maybe a few weeks to month I can't remember, to get to where (at least in my case) I started to feel the energy. You work up to the energy raising gradually. I went step by step as RB described in Astral Dynamics. I worked with it doing the full-body circuits and so on. It really works.
Now, I always feel the energy move when I am settling in to do my astral work. Also, I'll notice the brow center pulsing at other times as well, like when I'm at work, for example.
The slight tingling you feel in your hands is most likely the beginning sensations. Just keep at it. Follow RB's method. Once you get further along you should notice the energy first in your hands and feet, then you can mentally direct its flow, as in the full body circuit.
Very best,
Yes I have had those problems and I still do. NEW is a very good system and can be done anywhere. But try to do some visual visualisation whilst doing the tactile stuff too. Two senses reinforces the imagery in your mind and directs the energy better.

Is there a possibility that my frequent headaches have more to do with energy and less to do with medical reasons?
I've heard that such could be undeveloped psychic potential, or in otherwords a particularly strong (or perhaps active, but unconciously) brow and crown center.
well, it COULD be. but then, it COULD be a bomb inside your head.
what you SHOULD do is make sure that you are physically healthy from a medical standpoint, and if the headaches still come without reason make sure you are healthy from an "energetic" standpoint.
until you know the REAL reason why, speculating will only confuse you more.

Well, the only medical reason I've ever been given is allergies. But I rarely get the sneezes and the itchy eyes like a lot of people do. But it's a very odd day indeed when I don't have a headache for some or most of the day. It's not a very fun way to live.

try meditating and making your health balance itself out over your entire body. don't ask how; just try, and do.[|)]
(i suggest deep breath meditations.)

Um yeah, so I don't know, but I figure by the time I finally make some progress, I'll have posted so many questions about my difficulties that these so called "Trials of Fyre" will become well known, so pardon the cheezy phrase.
I don't feel anything when I try energy stimulation. I know, I've tried to figure out if I'm overthinking it and ignoring little sensations. This could be true, as the first few times I tried it I thought I felt a slight tingling in my hands. However, it simply felt like a lack of blood, and since, I haven't felt it again.
Has anybody else had these difficulties with NEW and Mobile Body Awareness? Any thoughts and suggestions would be extremely welcome.
