Chakra in-line

Lol #six be glad your third eye isnt fully open or you would be in a trance experience constantly. All is best when its in balanced connection with all other chakras. I doubt if u could function lol if your third eye would be wide open :happy:

Perhaps… When doing energy work, I’m always barefoot. It strengthens contact with the Earth. But you don’t need to stand up. As long as your spinal column is straight and perpendicular to the Earth (because it forms the connection between the Earth and Heaven. It’s like the Tree of Life to connect microcosm with macrocosm) it’s ok. So sitting straight will also work.
The chi in your body is stored in several storage centers, the main one is the t’an tien, behind the navel. If you’re serious with chi practice, you need to raise your energy level. There are two ways, as far as I know off, to extract energy from the environment: through solar power and especially through connection with raw Earth energies. These energies enter your body through the soles of your feet and are stored in the storage centers. Afterwards you can access these energies to transform them using cleansing techniques and chakra practice. They will be filtered, concentrated, refined and ultimately integrated with your whole body. This in effect will result in increasing healing powers, chakra activity, psychic development, life awareness and general health of your body, mind and soul.

Thanks for the tips Mystic, I really appreciate all the help I can get.
This end of August, I am going to start taking Ti Chi classes every Saturday morning. I’m really excited. I will learn as much as I can and share what I learn.
:cool:

!!!

how long did it take you to be able to enter all levels of sleep consciously? Is it something that is actually very simple and easy, but very hard to figure out to do?

is the solar plexis right at the base of the sternum? Why do you focus on it as opposed to other places? One time when entering SP I think I got sucked down into it… it was an odd feeling.

also do you have to open all chakras in order, or will having one eventually fairly open and easy to work with help open the harder to open ones, since they are just basically energy terminals of sorts, if one is open it spills energy to the others?

if i turn my focus to my anja, or third eye, i can focus on it so much that i not only feel that chakra, but i am so well connected to it that the amount of “energy” my brain is getting from it can literally become painful, with enough focus.

is that a good or bad thing?

i hope its a good thing, cause right now im thinking, either i got some sick kind of gift, or im screwed…

yeah i get the “brain pain” too…

you should stop and try to distribute the energy evenly throughout the body instead of just wailing on your third eye so much.

thing is, though, the pain is not in my brain, it’s in the exact spot of the anja…

but i think im starting to figure out how to remove the energy. not transfer it so much as just getting rid of it, but it should help me keep things slightly under control.

its hell to pull off the same for any other chakra though…

If you feel a lot of pressure in the third eye, shift your awareness to the ming-men, the spot at your back which lies exactly opposite to the navel. This helps to cool excess yang energy in your head. Concentrating here lets the energy descend back to your feet chakra. It can help a lot! But if you have really severe headaches, it can take a few days before the symptoms are over. In that case, intensively concentrate on the ming-men for about 30 minutes, two times a day, until all the symptoms are gone.

I’m glad there are people here well versed and interested in chakra and energy manipulation. :happy:

Anyway, I have a similar…issue… with the third eye chakra. I often feel pressure there and if I concentrate on it for awhile, the pressure excelerates slowly and begins to feel painful. It becomes painful to the point where my entire forehead burns, as if there is some kind of ethereal flame there.

Whats interesting is, I often find that focusing on my feet redistributes the energy and I no longer feel pain, but I always have a feeling of dull swirling or pressure there. I’m wondering if perhaps I am inadvertantly channeling too much energy to my third eye chakra.

It does appear to have its uses, and I do feel that I am more prone to yang feelings/energy. When I meditate I sometimes enter into a trance like state where my vision appears somewhat like a radar screen. I see swirlling clockwise moving lights, seem to be indigo colored.

I often meditate on this hill and when I enter into this trance like state every blade of grass that appears is replicated into the same one. So Instead of seeing unique ground, plant life, etc… I just see the same pattern over and over again. The same perfect blade of grass.

Weird stuff I know.

Sometimes when I attempt WILD I focus on third eye chakra and that seems to help speed things along. Has anyone else found that it helps?

i find that any energy work helps bring about paralysis and wild but for me most of the pain in the third eye, it migrates to my entire “brain” i can feel it “clicking” like neural processes or synapses going on, or something, it’s really weird.

I don’t know what it means…

one time while WILDing all I had to do was make my brain click and I’d be paralysed… but I have to be in a real deep near trance state to do that… in the early morning.

I also get muscle spasms frequently while doing energy work, but very rarey if ever I get them during the day anymore, I used to get hem a lot during the day… hmm.

I used to get many muscle spasms as well. I also had a very chaotic and scary upheaval of my solar plexus chakra that went on for almost three days. I’d have muscle spasms in my stomach and when I closed my eyes I couldn’t help but picture what I felt there. It was like a tube that was wound up like a hose, and inside was yellow-orangeish energy. It was constricted and the energy was slow moving through the tubes. When I focused and sped up the blood I felt tremondous release and felt a great deal better than I had in years. It was well worth the fright that I felt throughout the ordeal.

Anyway, some call that Kundalini energy, pranic lifeforce from the buddhist and hindu religions that naturaly purges the body of negative emotional blocks, or just reinforces your chakra(s) with supernatural energies. What you may be experiencing is a kundalini flow. Just google it up for information. Reading about it helped me with my Solar Plexus issue.

If you feel you’ve got it under control I wouldn’t worry too much. That trick with paralysis is nice, I’ve never been able to do that through concentration on Ajna(third eye). It just seemed to come naturaly to me before or after sleep.

oh i’m sorry what i meant was any energy works brings about paralysis if you’re in the right condition, such as in the early morning.

this is very odd because I really thought I specified that.

I’d say you’re definitely concentrating too much energy into your third eye. Accumulation of chi can give you minor complaints, such as headaches, bleeding nose, vision problems or nausea. In general, accumulation of chi in the third eye chakra can lead to hallucinations, delusions, obsessions, concentration problems and nightmares. If this accumulation persists, it will even affect the surrounding tissues and organs. So it’s best to drain the chi from that place as soon as you notice an accumulation. Major draining points in the body are the feet and the coccyx at the base of the spine. The major energy point to concentrate on, whenever you have an accumulation of chi above the navel area, is always the ming-men. When you have chi accumulation beneath the navel area, you can concentrate on the navel, or even the third eye.
Another cause of headaches after practice is the fact that chi remains flowing in the etheric body. This chi then has the tendency to move to the head and remain there. Therefore, when you stop practicing, it’s best to drain the chi or to collect and store it into an energy storage center. The two major storage centers are the back of the knees and especially the navel. Collecting the energy can be done by spiralling the chi towards the navel (or back of the knees). This way, there’s no danger anymore to side effects of chi accumulation.

The Suneye method also uses third eye concentration to gain lucidity, but it’s combined with WBTB. Perhaps this is understandable, because after all, the third eye deals with imagination, dreams, intuition, visualization, insights and vision.

Strange… Perhaps the excess of chi switches regularly between the pineal and pituitary gland. Between both glands, there’s an important etheric bridge, the… looks it up antahkarana or psychic bridge. The normal chi activity on this bridge can be used to check your entire chi flow in the body.
I don’t know if this is the explanation… perhaps it’s just another side-effect of the chi accumulation.

That’s some dangerous stuff you know… Kundalini is actually cosmic energy, and it’s from a much bigger quantity than the normal prana or chi, life energy. These tremendous Kundalini energies should only be awoken if you have developped your energy body well enough so it could handle the huge amounts of energy. Because, when the energy vessels are too small, Kundalini will burst out of your spine and ruin your internal organs. Many yogis have destroyed their bodies in this way because they failed to prepare their energy bodies in the right way to deal with Kundalini power.

could you provide examples of yogis dying from kundalini?

I always move into things of spirituality in recklessness because I feel so well aquainted with the chaotic view of conciousnesss. I used to contort my body because it felt good for my chakras, energy flows giving me euhporia etc… I feel that I’ve hurt my body by doing such because I was underdeveloped, both physicaly and psychologicaly. In retrospect this was a bad idea. I have found a rapid decline in my health, though my spirituality flourishes. I’ve recently begun Yoga lessons to try and regain balance with my visceral personage. I hope that it helps.

I never read anything about specific cases, so I did a search… Oh and I didn’t say they always die… only that their organs are ruined (to some extent ofcourse; it’s not the same for everyone).
This is not about yogis but about Westerners who experienced a Kundalini arousal:

You can read about a detailed description of Else Johansen’s Kundalini arousal, together with LOTS of other information about Kundalini dangers here: kundalini.se/eng/engkni_1024 … tverk.html

i just somehow find that hard to believe.

i once had some sort of kundalini like experience in a dream but i can’t remember it, just that it involved my spine, lots of white light… that’s about it.

it was something that took me a while to remember…

i’m not sure that you would call it “Kundalini” or not but I am under the impression that it involves the spine… and to leave the spine alone during energy work, which I do, because when I do mess with the spine the sensations are too intense for me…

sometimes i do it real gently to help ease back pain though… but that’s about all I do with the spine.

I don’t want to go off topic, but you all have heard of spontanial combustion, right?

I’ve seen documenturies on it, it’s an incredible mystery. Could this be just an incredible kundalini release?

Hmmmm, hmmmmm, and, hmmmmm… :hmmm:

#Six

Holy reality: apart from Kundalini, normal chi can also flow very strongly through the spine. Some systems even say there are three main chi vessels around the spine, each carrying slightly different chi energies. In the microcosmic orbit, the spine is the Governor Channel, one of the main chi vessels in the body. Perhaps you felt those?
The way people experience Kundalini seems to be unique for every person. Why is it so hard then to believe Kundalini can really do much harm to you, if it’s awoken prematurely or if you didn’t take the right safety measures?

#Six: well… it’s a possible explanation :smile: I’ve read somewhere spontaneous combustion had something to do with the activity of mitochondrion…

spontaneous combustion by all leaps and bounds is not real.

first of all, nothing can happen spontaneously, heat has to have a source.

second, no one, ever, has witnessed a spontaneous combustion.

Now, there have been INTERNAL combustions, however rare those are… you know… that kind of thing… somehow, something you put into you reacts badly with your body chemistry…

but… basically, in ideal circmstances a body can cook itself in its own fat, smoldering for hours upon hours, and leave behind merely a pile of ashes, no source of initial flame, no fire damage to the building, just, ashes.

umm… i do not at all want to look it up but you can look at the FBIs website they have an indepth investigation and explanation of many alleged “spontaneous combustion” events.
