lol anyone in a really good mood today, I just sense happiness.

Infact I think I need to run outside and roll in the grass lol weeeeeeeeeee
Glad I got over that little ego thing it can really take you off track a little, I am back though and I am at my best.

"I love you all and please forgive me"

There see

Yes I am in a very good mood, I realized today I do love much deeper now than I ever felt possible. I feel the love is making a difference not just to me but also to others around me.

I do think though that we should not return to our skipping rope days

There is no returning for me, this chakra energy is so real, not just the heart chakra but the others too all flow through me. How anyone can question they exisit is beyond me.

We are here to spread love all over the world.

I have felt my heart chakra open up to someone I met ATS. They are the most amazing feelings I have ever had. They didnt want to do it at first because they were afraid of getting hurt.

Second is the water chakra deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt
Third - fire chakra deals with willpower, blocked by shame
Fourth - deals with love and is blocked by grief
Fifth - deals with truth and is blocked by the lies we tell ourselves about our own nature
Sixth - the light chakra deals with insight blocked by illusion, the illusion of separation, "we are all one"
Seventh - deals with cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachments

WHY would anyone feel fear from opening their root chakra? This has been puzzling me since I read this.

Probs fear of the unknown. Like walking paths you have never walked before or even making changes.

Hello. Welcome to the chakra thread I hope everyone on here will join me in welcoming you too.

What you are feeling is a connection to the light. When we speak to someone who may have their heart chakra open if you are sensitive to these energies you will pick them up. In some cases this can switch your heart chakra on. The amazing feeling you mention is the pure unconditional love from your own heart chakra. I sense this is so very strong in you and so very pure.

It is such a strong energy you must strive to become a balanced individual in all your other chakras as the heart alone can as you say lead to hurt and misunderstandings.

Everyone on this thread has been through what you are experiencing and we are all here to help.

Yup welcome to the thread, we all get that feeling when starting out
MG is very right though you need to find balance with all of the chakras, However we are not telling you there is a right and a wrong way we are just advising you from experience.

Remember you are the truth, like caveman pointed out in an earlier post. It is very important to understand that, You do not need any of us to teach you. We will advise/help you the best we can.

Thanks guy, i'm happy to be here.

I'd post something more but a couple buddies from work asked me to go to the pub with them and forget it, my day is over now.

Hi

The above words by psycho are so true, there are many ways to become balanced in what you are feeling but you must find your own way, the way that suits you. There is no doubt this awakening is happening to more and more people and this is a good thing, the opening of the chakras will lead you to a greater awarness about your self and the world in which you live in.
You must reject any negative thoughts these are not you they are outside forces trying to go against the energy of your chakras. Psycho is right negativity is not us, it is not you and it must be turned away from at ALL times. It has no place in our lives and serves us nothing except self doubt and sadness.

Some of us on this thread (men from pre historic times) seem to have the knack of taking chakra meditation to a level most of us can never achieve, this is Ok because this is his way, this is how he progresses but you must not look to others sucess and try to copy it. Find your own level and that will be just as succesfull for you in your own right.

At the start we often think nothing is happeneing and think of giving up, please dont the energies are slowly opening you just cant feel them yet. You seem to be able to feel your heart chakra very well so with time I think you will have no problem with the others. Some of them are very hard to feel especially the root.

Hey there, welcome to the thread. You can generate the most amazing feelings like you said from understanding the chakra energy just a bit more too. You'll find it does not depend on another person, or chant, or mantra, to achieve this either. The very essence of these feelings are internal and created by our own minds and consciousness. The "discipline" part comes in on developing your own style and way of controlling this energy for your own self growth. There are quiet a few highly knowledgeable people here on various techniques and methods that can help you I'm sure, so feel free to ask whatever questions you may have.

Hi shakesbeer. Im really interested in expanding the energy of the chakras how can I do this? I know when each is open now but I feel I need to expand on this...?

For me, what helped to better recognize & control the energy flowing from the chakras is to become familiar with sensation in the corresponding areas on your body. What I did/do sometimes is rather then only search my mind for the sensation the chakras opening up gives, I will lightly touch the area with my hand at the same time and use that feeling to sort of help "remember" the feeling. Then I will take my hand away and try to keep the feeling of my hand being there locked in my mind, usually while trying to hold the "touch" sensation you become aware of the energy swirling or "tingling" from the area. At that point your chakra is pretty much open, use the feeling to try to increase & decrease the feeling/energy with your mind. For me now I can open them fairly easy this way, I find that simply touching the area focuses your consciousness on that physical point and the chakra, that coupled with your intention can generally manifest the feeling you're looking for. It's hard enough sometimes knowing the sensation and principles of the kundalini and try to open the chakras let a lone if you don't know what you're looking for. Even if you're used to one of your chakras being open all day, when it closes sometime we almost "forget" what it feels like. This is why I've found touching the area can act as sort of a "jump start" and will give beginners an idea of what to look for. Which can be described as a feeling of something in that area that is just as real as one's hand touching you, or a warmth, coolness, "electric" or static-like, or tingling.

Thank you for that Yes its like they are open a lot of the time now I feel i have actually forget what it felt like before I opened them (except the heart there is NO way you can forget what that feels like). I sometimes wonder if its OK to let them open for long periods of time, but its not forced so I reckon it should be OK.

Thank you again.

I use a similar technique I explained way back in the thread. That hand test is something simple I learned when I picked up this like guide in the store breifly. It wasn't a very informative book but I never heard of that technique before, and it seems quite simple in practise. You can really feel the fields your being produces.

This is a good way to guage that chakras I think, but really you should just be able to tell if you're unbalanced. If something feels even slightly wrong, then I think something is a little off if only marginaly. I feel this way because when I had my first real chakra balance, I felt like nothing bothered me, nothing even phased into my mind, i was just focussed at what I was doing, being cool with doing it, while feeling firmly in touch with the world and the universe as a whole. What I'm trying to emphasize here is that I felt as good and stable as I thought I could be, infact I didn't think I could be that stable, certain qualities that dissapate from chakra balance you think are uniquely characteristic to your being. Since that day it feels as though the old me was gone and replaced with the real one, or better one.

But yes, using your hand in such a way I feel is a good way to guage the chakras.. and its quite mind-opening if you haven't tried it. You suddenly become aware of subtle energy fields you never thought you could feel, and then you start to think, how often am I feeling these fields?

Its also good to use mid-way through meditation, just to see any changes, you'll probably notice your chakras have more of a kick. I like to do it also after meditation.

I recommend trying this technique, I think you'll learn alot about yourself.

Yes I remember you saying about it back then , i tryed it but felt very little maybe it will work for me now..lets hope.

Hello

Hope everyone had a good weekend, I just got back from my friends. Went over to see him and have a few beers over the weekend. ouch to my wallet though oh well it's only money...

Think I am going to start doing the hand thing. I am sure my lower chakras need the most work.

Keep it up peeps

reply to post by psycho81


Hi nice to see you.

I tryed the chakra hand thing today and it works for sure. Im feeling the energies well now but my 3rd eye has gone to sleep

reply to post by Mr Green


Don't worry about the 6th Chakra until you feel the lower ones balanced. I am due some good meditation tonight so will use the hand to see where I need work the most. I am getting used to the 1st chakra now as I feel grounded enough. Think my 2nd and 3rd could do with the most work sometimes I forget what it's like to have them open.

I was thiking of getting like them fiber optic lights (Hopefully to shine the same color of each chakra) so I can use it for meditation. Would be nice to have a sligh glow in the room of each color when working with the chakras.

reply to post by psycho81


How would you see the fibre optic lights though if your eyes are closed? I can understand music as an aid but lights? its possible though I guess. Yes I feel very grounded now, in fact too grounded if thats at all possible. Ive gone from one extream to the other lol

You know when you're just drifting off to sleep, and you hear something really loud (in your head) or see a face or something, and you open your eyes and your heart is racing like mad, what is that?
