Hello,

Recently i'v been noticing more rapid tingling and throbbing within my whole body but most especially within the following region respectively. They are

1. Some times mild throbbing or more pressure the center of my head

2. Pressure or throbbing at the center of my forehead (in between my eye brow, to be precise).

3. Feeling throbbing and moving sensation on my spinal cord.

4. Throbbing and pressure at the region below my belly

5. Pressure and sometimes rapid throbbing at the center of my hands and feet.

And sometimes, i might be discussing with someone, and all of a sudden, i will become high (like someone on Weed), even when i know i'm not on any kind of drugs. When ever it occurs, i try to leave the person and find somewhere private and calm, then after few mins, i will be relieved. These happens mostly in the evening, or when ever i'm in a crowdy area.

Please what do you think might be the curse.

Thanks

Lol... Funny you... I never call am o ���

Someone told me that my chakras are opening up ���

Possibly it could be Kundalini energy. But also possibly not.

Try Meditation. Empty your mind and focus on your breathing. Make written notes on what's happening in your body but don't think much about it. Don't try to control or judge it in any way.

The meditation of just listening to your breathing and stilling the mind will help if it is kundalini and if it is not it is still a good practice so it is a win win.

Thank you sir for your quick response.

I have done a little research on kundilani energy as you have mentioned and found out some helping facts concerning it and regarding my symptoms.

However, i started feeling these throbbing, tingling and pressure on those parts of the body when i started meditation exercise, together with the breathing exercise (i.e inhale the breath, hold the breath for 4 secs and exhaling it).

I will do as you have directed.

Thanks

ccarefulwind2:

Lol.. Madam, what is it?

Nothing sir.

Those breathing exercises involve deliberately holding controlling the breath. Holding it for so long etc...

Without a proper instructor those can be quite dangerous exercises if you don't know what you're doing. One could risk psychosis.

Focusing your attention on your normal breathing pattern though just involves watching the breath. Not controlling it. Just observing it and quieting the mind.

Until you know what you're doing I feel that would be safer.

Hmm.. Does that means the person might be right?

I woke up few nights ago, to discover that the center of my left Palm was throbbing rapidly for like 3mins, then it later stopped.

Sometimes, when i bring my hands very close to each other, I feel a magnetic feel in between the hands.

No be small tin o

Chakras are vortices of energy in your body. The main ones are aligned up the spinal column. Often they are 'blocked' but when they open (their opening is often described like the opening of a flower) then currents can flow through them. When currents flow through them they awaken certain behavioural tendencies also certain abilities.

What are these Currents that flow through the body?
Basically they are the Breath that we breathe. But there is something about the breath that is more than just oxygen and air. When we breathe we generate these currents and they run through our body along channels that the hindus called nadi. And they can be stored in different forms in different parts of the body too.

Most notably they are stored as Sexual energy in the nether parts.

In Hindu religion the Current is called Prana.

In China they have something similar called Chi.

In Yoruba it's Emi. Meaning Breath but also meaning Spirit.

When Emi flows through certain vortices in the body it generates certain psychic abilities.

I've got to run but I'll be back tomorrow, or the day after.

Hello, I quite agree with PastorAIO on a number of points, but diverge in other respects. First of all, the 4 seconds breathing Technique is totally safe, which is the reason most tantric students start with it. Of course you may choose to dump the exercise, but it is not unsafe.

Back to your question, the caveat here is that you have no medical issues, I would say there are two problems here:

- you are trying too hard to meditate properly. You have to learn to do not to do. Doing the undoing/ non doing or learning to let it go. You may be looking for quick results and may be overdoing your meditative practice.

Try not to meditate for more than 10 min in one go, and slowly but surely you will get there. Meditation is the state of the fetus in the womb, the twilight between sleep and awareness.

- you seem not to be properly grounded. When you are not grounded, you don't distinguish between normal life and meditative state, and thus you lose your mind during the day so to speak.

- there could be chakras blockage like Pastor indicated, but I have not enough elements to come to that conclusion.

I would thus suggest you to learn how to purify your sphere always before meditating, then learn grounding. To be grounded you should start by forgetting all your meditation and experiences and spiritual expectations during day. Once you have practiced, forget it all.

Also have short periods of relapse where you do nothing about spiritual practice and you focus only on your daily life. This will insure proper grounding. It could make sense to do a cycle of 15 days: 15 days of intense practice, and 15 days off and so on.

Greetings.

Woow! Everything is beginning to make sense to me now. What an eye opener!

Please i'll be waiting for you to come back and share more insight about chakras, thanks.

Also, i what happens if one over stimulates his or her chakras? Because, i feel i might have over done it.

You also made mention of these - " When currents flow through them they awaken certain behavioural tendencies also certain abilities.
" - Now my question goes thus ; what are the certain behavioural tendencies and abilities that awakens when currents flows through these channels? Are they good or bad abilities? I will like to know because i do feel currents flow through my chakras.

I'm sorry for all these questions, do bear with me.

Greetings LoJ, you welcome to the trend and thanks for your input.

Regarding your comment, first of all, i felt the 4 seconds breath technique was safe, that was why i started with it. However, i will start all over again but these time with the normal breath technique as described by PastorAIO, and also since you have no problem with the method he suggested.


I'm also relieved that there are no medical issues concerning me.

Yes i might be over trying too hard, i sometimes get caught up with looking for quick manifestations of my exercises, even during the day. On that, i also agree with you. Please dont blame me, for i am a solitary seeker and look out for results regarding my practices, to see if i'm on the right track.

You said something about purification of my sphere, before meditation. How does one do that?

Regarding my grounding, i do visualization (i.e i visualize white light from above coming down, passing through my head, into my body and then goes out through my feet, into the earth), since i research that it's safe too. Or what do you think about the method?

I will also try out your suggested method too.

Thanks once again.

I did not give any opinion on the method he suggested. Furthermore, There is no "normal" method: who sets the norms? What you consider normal, may be considered not normal by me. However, I do agree that the breathing technique Pastor suggested is good. I used it long long ago. You may try that method and see if it works better for you. But as for me, I do not think your problem lies in the breathing pattern you followed.

I'm also relieved that there are no medical issues concerning me.

I never said that. I said, the caveat here is that you have no medical issues, meaning all that I said applies if and only if you have no medical issues. Nairaland is not the proper place to check that.

Please dont blame me, for i am a solitary seeker and look out for results regarding my practices, to see if i'm on the right track.

I do not blame you, of course. I however urge you to put that to an end. Spirituality is not primarily about visions and fantastic experiences. If that is your goal, You may have them more easily with a common drug. It is first of all, all about finding equilibrium and developing/awakening your inner self, so that you may always be guided by your inner master. nothing of value comes quick. You have to give it time and dedication, consistency and perseverance, to make real far reaching progress.

Another problem is the confirmation bias. You may be so much looking for experiences that you subconsciously create them. And then, you will not be able to distinguish your own doing and the real mc* coy. This is the case of a nairalander, whose experiences attracted a huge following, but few people realized it was a self constructed reality because he lost the dimension of control and external validation.

Dont look for experiences. Look for inner growth. Meditate and practice slow and steady, preferably under the guidance of an advanced practitioner, and in due time you will get there, with little possibility of getting lost along the way.

You said something about purification of my sphere, before meditation. How does one do that?

This is a very good question. You have to know that, a meditating man is like a candle in the middle of a dark room. It attracts all kind of flies around its flame. In the same vein, when you meditate some entities are attracted to you, wondering what is it you are doing ou who you are. They are usually benign, not evil, still they can cause much dysfunctioning. They may even cause you to have experiences, which are however not genuine. It can also lead to a lot of misfortune in your real life. A few of them however could be evil inclined, and then the matter get worse.

So it is critical for anyone undergoing any kind of meditative practice to learn how to purify its sphere before proceeding. It has the effect of a spray that will clear the space for you before you meditate. Then everything becomes safe, and you can be sure no malevolent entity will affect your activities, or try to dupe you.

There are a number of techniques to do that, depending on your "level". I personally use a cabalistic ritual to that effect, but I doubt it would be necessary for you. What is your religious background? I am tempted to suggest something inspired from your religious background.

Regarding my grounding, i do visualization (i.e i visualize white light from above coming down, passing through my head, into my body and then goes out through my feet, into the earth), since i research that it's safe too. Or what do you think about the method?

Please stop it.

This exercise has been given here by sarassin. But he only gave 1/4th of the whole ritual, so that only people who knew what he is talking about will understand. It is a very powerful ritual used in Qabalah, no wonder you experience the problems you described. I think the conditions are not met yet for you to be in need for that ritual. I would suggest you to stop using it with immediate effect. It is like using an atomic bomb to kill a fly. Playing with any ritual from Qabalah is like playing with fire.

You dont need it as of now. Do rather like I suggested:
- Clean your space (i will give you a method when you answer me)
- Meditate no more than 10 to 15 min at once
- Forget about your meditation during the day, and focus on your daily life
- Get a cycle of practice

With this, you are good to go, for sometimes, and you will make considerable progress. When you reach a certain level, guidance will come to you.

Thanks once again.

You are very welcome. This is my personal opinion, and you should be free to follow your intuition.

Greetings to you LoJ, i believe your night was good :-]

No worries, i'v checked with my doctor on several occasions concerning my health and he has certified that there is nothing wrong with me after running some tests on me.

My aim of going into these, is to achieve equilibrium and to develop and awaken my inner self, etc. I also don't do drugs, thanks. However, i will have to give myself time, dedication, etc, as you have advised.

Noted, meditate & practice slow and steady, but i don't have nor know an advanced practitioner. Do you know of any?

Regarding the cleansing of my sphere, thanks for opening my eyes to lots of things on that aspect. I'm also sure i do not any malevolent entity invading my space while meditating.
I'm a Christian with an open mind to ponder and probe into the unknown.

YEH! the visualization exercise is like using an atomic bomb to kill a fly? My goodness!
I'v stopped immediately. Kindly give me a method for cleansing of my sphere.

I always try to follow my intuition :-)

Thanks once again
