Chakra Question Options

First I would like to say hi, this will be my first post and most hopefully not my last.

Now on to the question!

I have been experimenting with differing energy sytems for some time now,
I have used many different techniques and made little to no succes.

But then I met a dude on the net who gave me some direct help via Yahoo Instant Messenger.

He told me that the "Gates" to my chakras were closed and he opended them and told me that energy work is Incredible difficult with those closed but not impossible.

Well, while things have picked up -slightly- since then I am making no real progress.

BTW don't give me any link's to the joyofstn awakenings those don't work for me and the negitive energy from those sites actually pains one of my friends when he trys to visit.

( Its just not for me is what I'm saying)

What I have learned so far is that Chakras are interlinked with the state of the mind and body as well as the inner circuitry of the energy body.

While simple physical excersises can't bring Chakras to develop on there own and simply setting yourself in the emotions that are connected to chakras won't exactly activate them in any significance.

Perhaps after all this time with the Gates closed they just don't want to wake up?

BTW I liked the sigils for opening chakras they wer very nice but I must be using them wrong or they don't work for me either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Its been about 2-3 years since I have been attempting Astral Projection as well But I believe I may be able to get that running as I have some ideas that I just haven't tried yet But advice on that would help me out too.

Well guys I guess I'm just looking for some advice on how to get my Chakras to a higher level of activation and I would appreciate anything you all have to say on the subject.


Nice forum too and the main site has loads of information!

Greetings Star!
Welcome to the Forum!
There are some members here that are quite good with this topic and I'm sure you'll hear from them.
'Gates' to a chakra? Hmmm....none that I know of. The subtle energy system that include chakras aren't gated. Your energy centers can be blocked, latent or functional. Pranayama will be your first exercise in waking your energy centers. Breathing exercises and how energy flows in your body. The Theosophists published a number of books about the energy body and its functions. Here on this Forum are many threads that deal with this. I'll shut up now and let the ones who know talk with you. Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Pranayama practice is an excellent way to open your Chakras, alongside with regular yoga practice to enhance the balance and widening.

A really neat little visualization technique that I found has worked very wonderfully, is to see your chakra points as raisins (sounds odd, I know, lol). When we are born, those raisins are grapes, hydrated and juicy and vibrantly colored. As we get older, they begin to shrink and dehydrate. Visualize them slowly going back the grapes they where. Don't be hasty because it can possibly be a shock to the system.

Another good excerise is to face your palms to the sun. Eastern faiths do this while praying, as your palms are natural vortex's that soak in energy. The suns energy is purifying and life giving, thus cleaning out your chakra system, enabling the opening process to be smoother and easier.

Another one is the Golden Coil. This coil rests directly in your abdomen, and when it's wound too tight, it's part of what causes anxiety and the butterfly in your tummy effect. When you store stress, worry and negativity, this coil tightens more and more. It is the center force for storage and release, and when it's wound, it effects all the energy centers around it. To clear it see that coil nestled in your abdomen, wound tight, and see pure energy begin to wrap itself around it, moving into it and pushing away the black energy of negativity. See the black wash out and remove itself from your body, back into the universe to be recycled to postive energy, allowing for your coil to unwind itself and begin to spin faster and easier. Continue this until you no longer see the black flowing from it. Allow that coil to remain connected to the cleansing purity of universal energy, see it as almost a path or a "silver cord", a direct line from the coil to the universe.

Hope that helps!

Namaste

Sounds good I especially want to try out that golden coil idea.

Also, I have had some good results with grounding before, Though sometimes I can't get it to work I think I often try too hard.

The time I got it to work best I had a burning sensation in where I believe my heart chakra should be.

So I assumed energy from the earths core was coming up into me which was so cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I havent heard of Chakra Gates before meeting the dude as well, it was interesting though. He also sent me attunments of something to give me a boost into this which was nice. I don't know exactly what it was he said it was better than Reiki but I have no knowledge on Reiki so I couldn't say.

Well, I have lots of knowledge on reiki but no attunments cus I can't exactly pay for it.

It's all good I hope I get DollHouseKitty's golden coil to work but I have horrible skill in isolating chakras so I Don't think I'm often doing these excersises right.
And my energy sensitivity is so low!

Thanks for the help it's friggen helpful!

[Edit]- BTW I don't know if I will actaully see the blackness leaving the coil but Ill do my best!

One thing I learned from an old Reiki Master (coincedently, lol), was this: The more you try, the less you find. The less you try, the more you find. The hidden key to that is to just Do.

By Doing, use your imagination. See each seperate Chakra, See the negative energy flow from your coil. When you put a visual to it, it doesn't mean it's just a figment of your imagination, your actually triggering that exact response through your will and focus. The mind is the most powerful tool given to you, utlize it as much as you can. A simple daydream can have very profound affects if the "required" amount of focus and will are directed into it.

You can also use Chakra stones to help you out. To make them more effective, you can program them, by holding the stone in your power hand (your dominate hand) and holding it up to your Third Eye, projecting it's intent (ex: Open Solar Plexus) through the visualizing the words, and the act of opening the chakra, into the stone. You don't need to do this very long, it usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute to fully program a stone. Then once it's programed, place the stone on the corresponding Chakra location, and visualize some more. It's all in the mind, essentially. Pay attention to your body, and you'd be greatly surprised how powerful your own mind is in controlling certain situations, especially when it comes to self.

Here's a list of corresponding stones in case you don't know.



Crown - Clear Quartz, White Howlite, White Marble, Moonstone, Amethyst.
Clear, White and Purple stones

Third Eye - Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Lepidolite, Sugilite, Iolite, Selenite, Moonstone. Clear, White, Purple Stones

Throat - Blue Lace Agate, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Turquoise, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Iolite, Blue Topaz. Blue, Blue-Green and Blue-Purple stones

Heart - Green Aventurine, Jade, Amazonite, Moldavite, Pink Quartz, Rhodonite, Rhodachrosite, Kunzite. Pink and Green Stones

Solar Plexus - Citrine, Yellow Jasper, Yellow Calcite, Sunstone, Tiger’s Eye, Golden Topaz, Peridot, Serpentine. Yellow and Yellow-Green stones

Navel - Red and Orange Carnelian, Red Jasper, Orange Jasper.Red and Orange Stones

Root - Red and Orange Carnelian, Red Jasper, Orange Jasper. Red and Orange Stones


Alot of these stones are very cheap to come by, and can be ordered online. The more expensive ones would be Turquoise, Sapphire, and Kunzite. But they are the most powerful from my experiences.

Also good to have would be some clear Quartz specifically for grounding and purifying. When you have opened the chakra, I would suggest that you immediatly take the quartz and use it to cleanse, again, through visualization. You don't need to program a quartz for that, because it's naturally a clearing stone, and very powerful.

And a last bit of advice, your Root chakra is actually located in the spot between your genitals and anus. It's the most intense one to open, and usually recommended to leave for last. Even after years of chakra work, that one always hits the hardest, not in a bad way mind you, it just gets very overwhelming. It's your direct connection to Gaia, and opening it opens you up for all her power and glory. Also, some people will notice that their sex drive gets Very sparked, and if you want a good orgasm, that's the time to acheive it. I recommend doing that too, because a good healthy orgasm will send that energy from the Root throughout the rest of your body. It's not just physical, but deeply spiritual (Tantric at it's finest).

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask. No question is a stupid question.

Namaste

Ummm...pardon?

This is purely a hypothetical question, you understand.

If one's Third Eye was opened at birth, and if the coil was raised some years later, how is one to manage or what is one to do with the abilities gained from these so called talents?

I have heard that once the top chakras are activated it becomes more difficult to work with the bottom ones, if they havent already been activated.

Purley specilation though.

Awareness, being a big one. I myself, use these "talents" to pay my bills and put food in my stomach. Not only that, I have helped hundreds of people with situations and problems throughout the years that I have been a psychic counselor.

"Management" is up to the person, whether they choose to embrace their abilities or not. If you do choose to do so, there are a variety of ways to be able to harness and control them.

Speaking from personnal experience, no it doesn't. But I've been working with the Chakras for almost 10 years, so to me, it's pretty easy and straight foward. It all depends on the person when it comes down to it, really.

Please would you name and explain some ways.

  I have heard that once the top chakras are activated it becomes more difficult to work with the bottom ones, if they havent already been activated.

I do not understand this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fie.gif)

How to harness and control them? Visualize. How you do it, is up to you. That's your most simple and effective answer. If your expecting me to get into some elaborate explanation over a subject that is so fundamentally personnal to each individual who decides to do it, I'm going to have to disappoint you.

For the Chakras to be supposedly harder to work with as you continue down to the root, is a suggestion made purely of myth. Some consider that your crown Chakra is the easiest to open because it is more "accessible" in terms of collecting energy. Your Crown is the doorway to Universal energy, and some have said that when they lift it, it feels like an "Angel just fell on their head". As you get lower down the body, the Chakras tend to be more closed off from the Universe, thus making them harder to access. This rumour is false, and anyone who believes it is hindering themselves from acheiving balance and harmony within using the Chakra system.

Thank you. I am not familiar with the terminology of these matters, but go by the light of nature or what is most expedient on the occasion.

Sometimes too many words can ruin a perfectly simple procedure - my thoughts only. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I have found this an interesting tread, i've tried that coil visualisation a few days ago and found it to work well. Nice techniques, good productive topic here. Well done!

This isn't directly related to charkas, but I think it will help (humble opinion only)
I suggest you check out T'ai Chi Classics: New translation of three essential texts of Tai chi Ch'uan with commentary and practical instruction by Waysun Liao...
In it it has many exercises to increase your energy, one of the first is condensed breathing.
Visualize yourself as a suspended skeleton (though I find being aware of my bones to work just fine) With every inhale visualize your bones condensing with energy, and with every exhale visualize them expanding. There are many more energy practices in there I think that would be of great benefit to your Charkra development, and as always I wish you the best of luck in all your endeveors...

P.S. ~ If your intristed, feel free to email me and I'll send you more of the exercises listed.
hey...this is my 30th post... the moderators seem to have a problem with one liners so I guess Ill include one more...
AHH...umm... I assumed (which is never a good thing) that you were doing the proper breathing while doing that last exercise.
1. Relax the entire body, as if you were asleep, making sure that there is no physical tension at all...†(which by itself takes practice)†
2. Calm your mind and concentrate on the total body , listening to its breath, sensing its pulse, and so on, until you can feel the body's natural rythm.

3. Bring up your spirit by pushing up your crown point. Imagine an invisible string pulling your crown point from above. Gradually apply deeper breathing and inhale directly into the tan t'ien (an area located approximately three inches below the navel and two and one half inches inward.)

Chakras don't have gates, however they do open up and close. They do so automatically or you can learn to do so consciously. They can be blocked. There are a number of ways of unblocking them, from yoga to psychotherapy. Chakras are only one part of the energetic system which includes meridians (jingluo), and the aura. Being able to open your chakras won't cause you to develop stupendous psychic abilities, although it might make you more sensitive or intuitive. Over time, you may develop spiritual abilities, but normally it takes quite awhile and mostly involves working at it regularly.

"I have heard that once the top chakras are activated it becomes more difficult to work with the bottom ones, if they havent already been activated."
No, but some people have uneven development of their energy so that they have some chakras which are well developed, while others aren't.

As Dory sang in NEMO just keep swimming just keep swimming . Your energy body is engineered to develop naturally and in balance . If you drink lots of water , make good choices of love and light , stretch ie yoga , meditate daily and raise energy . You will develop quickly and without stress . All can develop any or all of the clairient abilities with dedication and practice . Projection and clairvoyance are good ones to begin with .

I have heard that once the top chakras are activated it becomes more difficult to work with the bottom ones, if they havent already been activated.

Men tend to open from the base chakra red upwards . Women tend to open from the crown violet chakra downwards . Today many people born after 1980 are fully open and at a much higher vibration . No matter what we are born with though we can all develop .We have unlimited potential to develop clairient abilities and our energy body .

... the "Gates" to my chakras were closed and he opended them and told me that energy work is Incredible difficult with those closed but not impossible.

You can never be completely closed down . The chakras need to be open somewhat to maintain the chi or vital force to sustain life .

While simple physical excersises can't bring Chakras to develop on there own and simply setting yourself in the emotions that are connected to chakras won't exactly activate them in any significance.

Energy work will raise your vibration and imbibe light into your chakral column to develop your energy body .
From ;http://www.astralsociety.com/as/Forum//index.php/topic,15343.0.html

Develop deep cleansing breath techniques .Take these deep breaths in slowly and deliberately thru your nostrils and audibly exhale the breath through your mouth .As each deep cleansing breath enters your body have it come in as white cleansing light .You might visualise a candle of light in front of your third eye if it helps .

1. Swirl energy down from the crown to head , clearing away the cobwebs of the mind.
2.Bring the swirling energy down into the hearts and lungs, breathing away all anxieties and worries.
3.Draw the energy into the arms from the heart , pool it out into each fingertip .
4.Swirl the energy into the guts where we can manifest disease from negativity , clean it all out and away .
5.Draw the energy in again in this last deep cleansing breath pull it all the way down into the legs .
Pool it into the feet and out through each toe.
http://groups.msn.com/AlchemicalFlame/shoe...oto&PhotoID=139
Power Up
You may choose" top down" from the universe to the crown or from "earth up" thru the soles of the feet .
ie :Bring light up with each breath ,visualising the feet drawing up light from Mother Earth through the legs which are like channels .
1.Pull it up from the right and left leg at the same time . Exhale half your breath only .
2. As you inhale draw up energy to the groin , exhale only half your breath .
3.Inhale and draw the energy up through your heart , exhaling half your breath only .
4.Inhale and push the energy down through your arms , seeing it flow from each fingertip. Exhale half your breath.
5.Inhale and bring it up to the shoulders . Visualise the dragon head erupting now from your shoulders. Release it and exhale half your breath .
6. Pull the energy finally up to your crown and fully release your breath .

Drink lots of water , meditate daily , and try NEW energy work by Robert Bruce free tutorials on his site ;
http://astraldynamics.com/tutorials/?BoardID=18

Perhaps after all this time with the Gates closed they just don't want to wake up?

That is not possible . The human energy body is engineered to awaken and develop .

... advice on that would help me out too.

Try projecting consciousness instead then . It is easier and generally more productive .

Your contact was right about there being gates. Ive known people to refer to them as chambers too. It depends on how you value them. It's like most things as far as I gather that it's up to you to picture the meaning but where it's know they know what you mean.
