starting at the beginning Options

okay. im new (obviously). im from south texas. i am very very eager to learn about chakras and healing and stuff. i have read a few books and understand the basics of it all but i still need help getting started on how to open or awaken or whatever it is i need to do. so yeah.. obviously i am lost. can someone help? haha.

To me the answer is obvious , its probably in the books that you've read . I especially enjoyed "Way of the peaceful warrior" , by Dan Millman about 15 years ago , I found it highly motivational . I don't believe in a quick fix , meditation is a great start , relax , keep it simple and focused . I've pretty much gathered a strong focused mind is gonna help , no matter what you do.
Anyway , I'm more or less repeating a similar post . look around .... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/search.gif)

There is a LOT of information if you Google for Chakras, here is a sample of some sites to get you started:

If you are interested in working with chakras in relation to healing, then Hands of Light by Barbara Ann Brennan is a good book.

There is a chakra test here to see how open your chakras are if you are not sure yours are even working yet, how reliable it is I am not sure.

Here is a table of what is associated with each chakra

Have fun learning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You mentioned that you were into healing and the like , I totally agree with Radiant star about reading Barbara ann Brennan , She is a renouned healer and the book "Hands of light" , pretty much will answer most of your questions and some , last I looked she had a follow up to hands of light .
Reputable Reiki practitioners can not only help with questions , besides clearing your aura and so forth , they could give you a personalized regiment , if your prepared to spend some mulla. I go about 4 times a year. I'm no longer suicidal .

Ah yes, I used to have both books, the other is called Light Emerging where she looks into the human energy field in more detail.

I think both are still readily available in shops and online.

I need help too... I understand charkas and astral projection... (yet to achieve...) But what I don't get is how in you-know-where do you use magick? I mean... I understand all of the concepts... but what and how do I used any of the **** symbols???

(I do know, luckly, what each are... Maybe I'm just feeling a bit like a paranoid outsider at the moment...)
