Lately... well coming on gradually over the last few years, and then snowballing in the last couple of months, I am noticing that I am having some problems with the circulation of energies... and the emotional unbalance that comes with that.
I was talking with a Taoist practitioner, and apparently they are very specific about how the energy flows within the body. I had gotten lazy about even grounding lately, and the main thing I had noticed was that sometimes when I ground it works, and other times... well it just didn't. I could not figure out why, so I have gone back to basics. He recomened a couple of books which I linked here, but I know there are more practices than just these.
One problem I noticed was that my energy was defusing badly in my back. I've always had a weak and painful trapezius muscle, and I notice when I flow energy that when it comes up my back it sparks off that area, (around T7 or T8 like a broken light cord. Instead of forming a circut energy from the botom runs up my back to T7 and then sparks off, then energy comes in my crown and runs to my heart chakra, where it spews out like a fire hose. It does not travel down very much. I have done orbits before, but now it isn't working. I normally do shoot energy out of my heart, but I find it's all I CAN do with it now.
Also he says there is an astral organ in the abdomen called a Tan Tien? That organ is supposed to gather physical energy. I can't even find mine for sure, and it isn't doing a thing. IDK... I am very heart oriented. When I give out energy I shoot it all out of my heart. In the past my heart also fueled my body, but lately it just gives out and leaves me depleted. I've never been exactly energetic on the physical realm though, except through very natural exercise, sweat, and of course herbal stimulants which I Have grown so tolerant of that they do me no good.
My question to you, is HOW DO YOU CIRCULATE your energy during your various practices. Do you do the orbit... do you hold your tongue a certain way? This stuff usually comes natural to me, and I don't normally have to think about it, but lately... I am not doing well, so I am re-thinking my practice. Any suggestions to blow out my pipes.
Also does your practice give you PHYSICAL ENERGY? Mine doesn't except for souping up my positive emotions, which of course makes me feel better for a while, but it doesn't make me physically stronger. Do any of you have a practice that yields physical energy to power your body? My body is really not doing well. I don't mean that I am physically sick exactly, just that I feel god awful, and have no energy. My emotions are out of wack and I am very very stressed. Any suggestions for energy work that will help this. I am doing the book, but I wanted to know if you guys could possibly give your openion of this. I've always worked with Chakras, and Tan tien's (there are three) don't corespond to those and I don't even know what they are talking about really. Maybe someone knows what a Tan tien is? How do you use that? I remember reading this stuff about 15 years ago, but I don't remember much from before. I am re-reading it, and I find I have been very mean to my physical body. I use my energy to change things astrally, and energically, not to feed my body. I think it needs help...
Anyway I was wondering if we could discuss the generation and use of physical energy.
