I don't think I've introduced myself

[DarkCloud]

Hello everyone!


 I'm glad to be apart of this forum with so many others, who, like myself are crazy about metaphysics and stuff in general.

First off, I just wanna make clear that I am in no means I newbie,  although I have indeed been down that road once (don't we all? of course).

I have actually been working with energy for 4 years, although it was just using visualization and a WHOLE lot of meditation and similar practices such as Chi Kung/Qigong/ and some Tai Chi.

Ki is not new to me, and I've been around the block more than once and I have asked all the newbie questions a guy could ask, so what I'm saying is, If any one would like to chat about ANYTHING about energy I have more than enough experience to share ( I hope that didn't come off as boasting )

Anyway, Robert Bruce's system of NEW and his ROPE method of Astral Projection interest me. I just recently adapted this system to my own methods. I can visualize pretty good as well as recognize the feel of chi moving through your body, which can be pretty powerful at times, which is why I don't think I'll have any trouble with it. Combined with visualization and "muscle memory" , plus a few tweaks I've read of this forum so far, NEW should be a breeze. I plan to be able to have a full body circuit in the span of 3 months ( I know it sounds impossible, but I am pretty obsessive in my training ) That way, I'll be able to reach my TRUE goal: Fully conscious Astral Projection (and just recently, raising Kundalini, which will come later).

I humbly ask for any suggestion you all have to make my training in NEW a little easier cause I hear its tough on beginners.


Ok, That's pretty much all I have to type on my intro...I'll stop rambling now.  :redface:

Hi, and welcome!

I'll ask you some questions about energy since you asked so nicely

I read somewhere on the internet that if you are in control of your energy, it is important to be careful when practicing astral projection -- that if you gather all your energy and try to throw it out in hopes of leaving your body, something bad might happen! -- any idea what that person was on about?

I've signed up for remote Kundalini Reiki attunements, each at a 3 day interval from tomorrow till early April -- any recommendations for reading and such?

And one last one! Do you know about that ringing sound you usually hear in your head? I did a chakra cleansing exercise the other day and ever since, I could swear that the ringing sound changed, from a flat tone to a little theremin playing in my head ; do you think the exercise I did is responsible?

As for advice... Well, I have yet to achieve an OBE, but I am making good progress, or so I feel!

The best advice I can give you is not to overdo it ; let it happen, do not force it! Also, read a lot about it, give yourself a mission to fulfill in the astral, make your subconscious know of your intentions!

And well... That's about it... Enjoy yourself in these forums

G'day to you!^^

My guess is it could possibly lead to burnout (which is a state which energy flow is decreased, harder to use, and you have massive headaches...never been in this state before but I hear its bad) and you could exhaust yourself to death by "throwing" all of your energy out at once...If not that, you wouldn't have a very good projection or you may even feel fatigued with you return to your body. This is the best answer I can give. My advice to you is to just take it slow, taking in a good amount of energy is good, but too much of it will do more harm that good.

Lol. To tell you the ABSOLUTE truth I have just recently signed up for this same course not to long ago myself. This is how I found out about Robert Bruce's new.

I have a few links with a couple of Reiki techniques and info on them.

Hmm...I think this has to do with the Third Eye or the Crown. Have you developed these yet? Or any of your primary centers? It has been said once a good amount of work as been put into developing the crown / the third eye, the more in touch with the higher planes you are. Meaning you can communicate via physical to astral or vice versa once you get skilled enough.

Of course this may not have anything to do with it at all, maybe its just a physical side effect your body goes through after working with energy. I haven't started on my higher chakras yet, since RB said its faster to work with secondary.

I may be wrong on this, please, if anyone has a better answer, feel free to share/correct me.

I've hoped I managed to help you in some way. I am always glad to offer advice/aid to someone.

Thank YOU for making me feel so at home. And for your advice. It has always been my absolute goal to astral project.
