Why is my Heart Chakra Beating like Crazy?!

[MrPatr1ck]

Hi Guys,

I've spent the last few months focusing mostly on meditation but recently decided to get back to the AP'ing attempts. I feel like I'm ready to get out of my body and experience things for myself.

Like always I lie down and use the method of focusing on my breathing. While doing this I try my best to imagine and 'feel' my astral body either rising up or sinking through my bed. After maybe 10/15 minutes my heart chakra starts to kick in and beat extremely fast, sometimes my eyes will start to flicker slightly but also I get a feeling that my body is shaking slightly?! Whether its my physical or energy body I'm not sure. This usually keeps on for maybe 1/2 minutes but has never led to a successful exit. Most times it dies down and I'm back where I started. During the attempt I might feel a small amount of vibrations at different parts of my body and my body will feel maybe a little bit lighter than usual.

I've been told that the heart chakra feeling like it's going to explode means I'm either too excited or too nervous and that I'm close to an exit. Others have said that it's a blockage of some kind between the chakras that needs to be addressed. I'd really just like to find out what exactly it means and what the next steps might be to passing this point?!

Can anyone shed some light on this please?

One way to know if this is your physical heart or the heart chakra is to have someone else take your pulse when you're doing it.  I won't go into detail, but I'll just say that most of the time it is the heart chakra, and not the physical heart.

I've been told that the heart chakra feeling like it's going to explode means I'm either too excited or too nervous and that I'm close to an exit.

I disagree with almost everything except the 'close to an exit' thing.  Theoretically, the heart chakra revs up when you are beginning and uses this energy to 'spit you out'.  Whether this is strictly true or not, (I think it may be, sometimes whirpools of energy are visible with these types of symptoms) it doesn't matter, the important thing to know is that this is not harmful, and you can use it to know when to attempt an exit method.  And even though I don't always advise to try an externalization method, if you have this symptom, I do advise to use an exit attempt such as the rope method with this particular symptom, and commit to the exit once you have started pulling.

Well the first time my heart chakra started reacting I remember being pretty shocked and ending the exit attempt just to sit up and find that my heart was beating at a pretty normal rate. That pretty much confirmed for me the existence of the chakras.

My last concern is: as the heart chakra began to kick in I thought I could actually hear a loud thud which seemed to be in time with my heart chakra but have no idea whether this was in relation to what was happening. It was almost as if my ear was against my own heart and I could hear it beating somewhere between my ear and inside my head.

Well thanks CFTraveler for the response i'm glad to hear i'm almost there. I will try applying an exit method the next time I reach this point.

... sometimes whirpools of energy are visible with these types of symptoms ...

Oh yes, yes and again yes!

Heart rate and/or blood pressure elevation are associated with vibrational changes (increased energetic states) recorded during the spirit-medium physical body exchange in direct voice and deep trance channeling. I am not aware of any studies that show the same happens with vibrational changes pre-exit but it would appear to be similar enough physiology to expect that HR/BP could elevate.

Call your physician and tell him/her. Record the conversation and report back.
