I pull energy from the core of my being. I have no better way of explaining it than that. It's kind of like a state of mind exercise. All I can say is that I allow my paradigm to allow for it. I almost never use my chakras. I have them developed ever so slightly, but I'm not great with using them.
The question I have is: Do you pull energy from your chakras, your environment, or from somewhere or something else?
IN most cases I consider myself to be more of a 'lens' or prism that redirects currents of energy rather than gathering and collecting energy in any way. In my paradigm all objects/activity are manifested by currents of archetypal energies that exist holographically through reality. So, they don't need to be drawn from 'someplace' so much as from the right alignment.
I do, however, perform a certain kind of exercise wherby vital energy (specifically that energy which vitalizes living things) is drawn in and circulated as with some varieties of chi kung and pranayama practice. In this case, the energy comes from everything and everywhere, but not in a spatial sense. I think of the phenomenal world as a kind of membrane, with light shining on and through it from somewhere outside of it all together. In my paradigm, we usually experience the light as it passes through that membrane and causes the illusion of 3D activity in a 4D continuity. I kind of think of myself as absorbing light from that membrane, retaining some of it as it passes through. Or more accurately, I guess, illuminating myself in that light.
Although, to make it more confusing, I don't think of it as light as from a flashlight beam, more of a liquid light/fire etheric substance that acts a lot like light.
Mmm. I don't really think of chakras as a place you can draw energy from per say - they are more like transformers, or colored glass; something you would pass energy/light through in order to change its functional frequency. Chakras don't exactly store energy per say.
In the more frequent case of redirecting currents of energy, I would say that I compare the inner 'lens' to be probably very like what you call the very core of your being. It's the sort of pinpoint or zero-point around which my mind/body complex manifests and from which the animating element springs forth into that complex. The fulcrum between all of the dimensions of my being as it were, or the intersection between all of them. It kind of feels to my like an immovable point - I can't move it around independently of the other parts of my being, but I can rotate it a bit like one would rotate a prism to align with different currents of energy. Although that isn't exactly what it sounds like, i think.
