I wanted to run by an experience with you guys and get some feedback… Even though my Godmother has been so good in helping to understand these things, I feel the desire to hear different opinions… So I want to thank you all ahead of time because you guys have also been so awesome in your feedback…

My Godmother (and her daughter) is a healer. Last year she showed me how to spin my chakras… To be exact, she taught me how to spiral down the Christ light (good & god being totality), loop it around into my chakras one by one spinning them then ending with looping it back down around and into mother earth… The first time I did this I could feel the vibrations in my mouth, hands and I could feel the throat chakra was blocked… I never kept this up. As a matter of fact I only half ass did it once again until a few days ago… With all the changes in my life and some of the things I have been experiencing I was propelled to learn this and do it again if anything to get the balance flowing through my system again… So I called my Godmother to give me the run down again (don’t wanna screw it up) and after we were done I sat quietly in my back yard and started. Within the first minute my roommates dog started to kind of growl and get weird… Not knowing WTF (What the F*&%), embarrassingly so I must admit I was fearing that I may have been channeling something bad so I stopped and called my Godmother who (when I got a hold of her) laughed and my attempts to call upon Arch Angel Michael (no I am not religious!) and told me that the dog was psychic, and could feel the energy which it was obviously not used to and it just freaked her out… So the next day I attempted this all again… I intuitively spiraled the light at its own pace. Ironically the areas where I felt the blocks were the areas which the light took the longest time to penetrate… I brought it down, and around and in the course of all of this I have to say that the energy I was feeling was beyond intense…

As I explain what I felt, keep in mind that the last few years have been filled with much loss, grief, pain, etc… To make a long story short I lost a childhood friend to suicide, a new friend to murder, my Grandfather to natural causes, my Aunt in her sleep, and my Mother to a 9 month battle with cancer… This time has all been a blessing even though at times it has felt like a curse… Hence the need to cleanse my system and open, repair and balance my chakras!

It started at my solar plexus. The pressure I felt was almost uncomfortable. It felt as though it was being massaged from the inside coupled with very annoying pressure… Then my throat felt a similar pressure. Almost as if it were going to lock up… All along my body was vibrating and humming; especially my mouth, throat, solar plexus and hands. To the point that when I opened my eyes the room was slightly blurry and it took a good 20 minutes (the same amount of time I spent doing this) for all vibrating to stop. “””””The one thing that concerned me was that my hands felt like they were locking up on me… As if the muscles were atrophying if that makes sense… Intuitively I felt that meant there were things I was holding onto in which I needed to let go of… “”””” This in particular I would like feedback on… I once had a similar experience with my hands when I was 19 but it was brought on by what I thought may have been a break down of sorts, NOT conscious mediation! This was the only other truly difficult time in my life besides now.

Anyway, upon finishing this I felt amazingly at peace. EVEN at peace and okay with the amazing experience I had just had… I had a brief moment of feeling hypoglycemic but breathed through it… After that passed I had a few waves of overwhelming feelings of love and gratitude… I felt great for a good solid 8 hours after… I got a massage a few hours after and there was a moment where I was getting flashes of Violet, like the color of a deep violet Morning Glory…

In conclusion… The thought of doing this everyday scares the shit out of me because I know that my life will never be the same if I do…

Sorry this is so long!!! But thank you for listening!!!

First, don't do this exercise if the thought scares you! Try and approach any energy work with enthusiasm and love, accepting and trusting all will be well. Be relaxed, then there's likely to be a smoother experience and you won't be fighting anything, even subconsciously. You don't have to do anything every day, in fact I find it's best to wait and allow whatever shifts have occurred to settle so I don't get overwhelmed. Be gentle on yourself! Something that dramatic isn't for daily practice, I don't think.

Secondly, the feeling of losing power in your hands, if that's what you felt, sounds a bit like a couple of experiences I had once, a long time ago; I read a few articles on the brain and recognised it as a symptom of 'epileptic' episodes affecting the amygdala/temporal lobes; parts of the brain which seem to be related to spiritual experiences; so it's possible the feeling you had is also related to the way your brain was affected by the experience you had. Look at http://www.innerworlds.50megs.com/traits.htm if you're interested in looking into that end of things!

The exercise doesn't scare me... Being new I wanted to make sure I was doing it correct... And I am learning that there is no correct, just pure... As for the feeling in my hands it was by no means a feeling of losing power. If anything it felt as though the power was blocked by all I have been holding onto.

Thank you for that link. It looks interesting.

P.s. I believe in what you said about letting the shifts settle and not having to do it everyday... I believe A LOT shifted that day!!! Once again, thank you!

Hi, your experience while intense, sounds very interesting to me as well.. I would love to know how to do the chakra cleansing/spinning routine you used. Is there any chance you could post intructions for it? or at least email them to me privately? I would love to try it!! ;-)

Hi Pennie, someone else just asked me the same thing... Here is what I emailed in response...

Hi Jaybean, I am new in doing all of this and of course in being new I don’t feel completely appropriate in “telling” you how to do this. However I can share what I did and what I believed to have facilitated all that transpired… I believe that I felt as much as I did because the blocks were as blocked as they were… I believe that I reached into places that have been beat up and left un touched over the last few years…

So this is what I did with what I was taught… Keep in mind you should visualize these things, believing in them and feeling them… I spiraled down, as my Godmother would call it, the Christ light… “I” spiral down good and god as totality. The purity of the higher power being all good intention… I allowed it to spiral down into my core from my crown on down, letting it go at it’s own pace taking as much time as it needed to fill my every cell on its way down… Using breathing the whole way through as a patient all knowing yet essential tool which we take for granted, kind of like the gas in the engine… Once the light spiraled to my feet I looped it back around, this time using the over flow kind of like an over flowing force of sorts to spin each chakra one by one, once again allowing it to go at it’s own pace and it letting me know when it’s ready to move to the next… Which for me is when it’s spinning consistently and vibrantly. Once I got threw them all I looped it back around and into my crown chakra, making a full circle of energy, allowing this full circle to once again penetrate my every cell down to my feet again, this time giving of my pure energy to Mother earth in love and respect and asking that she root me in, holding me still and safe through this give and take respectfully so with nothing other than the purest of intentions… I felt I was done when the circle felt complete, free flowing, pure and healthy…

I’m not a tree hugger although it probably sounds like it… That’s the best way I could describe it… Hope that helps…



Like I said... I am new and only know what I experienced... Your experience may be unique onto its self... Good luck...

Thank you, I will have to try this, it sounds good.. ;-)

We are all afraid of change, even if we don't admit it. The fact that you are afraid of what is to come from the changes that have been initiated by your chakra clearing is natural.

What I would say is embrace the fear, but keep on going. I was deathly afraid of most carnival rides. I felt out of control and the sensation of throwing up was very strong on most rides. My spiritual mentor told me to go to a carnival and ride every ride. I was surprised, but decided to give it a try. At the next fair in our area I bought a day long pass to the rides. Boy the first two or three rides were enough to make me think she was crazy, but as I went on and learned how to be with the ride I started to laugh and energy started pouring through me. By the end of the day I was light as a feather and no longer fearful of rides. I never got to every ride, didn't have the time, but I tackled them in the order that they scared me, from least scary to most.

In the same way look at this new experience as the first of many rides, with each ride moving you higher and higher. You will never be given more than you can bear, even when it feels like you are. I can say this from many years of moving along my path. It is fun, exciting, sometimes boring, sometimes a bit scary, but always worth it. Hope this helps.

Thank you Debra. In a sense I needed that. It's funny because I have always been the leaning pole up until now and I always used to say (and believe), "God never gives you more than you can handle", and within the last week or so it has come back at me now 3 times...

I will be spinning my chakras today! :-)

What a wonderful thread. Thanks for beginning it Tobepure.

I intend to do your meditation this evening. It sounds akin to some I've tried, but the patience yours indicates, letting the energy take its own time, and the looping sound wonderful.

You asked for interpretation about your hands' reactions. I really feel that you nailed it yourself. We are the best intuitive interpreters of our own metaphors. A tight hand to you may mean you've been holding on, but to someone else it may have a completely different meaning. Ask within and see if your answer resonates in your hara (2nd chakra area).

Thanks again for sharing this lovely meditation.

Jan

How do you recommend I ask within. I've never done this before...

I'm glad you are enjoying this thread. I just read Learning to let go and I got a bunch out of that one! I "LOVE" this site. It has been a sheer welcome for my place in time!

I realized that the following time spun my chakras I had more expectation and less intention and purpose, hence less energy... I also feel that I may have felt less because I may have released some major blocks the first time around because BOY DID I FEEL QUITE A BIT... This will all be a great journey/learning lesson and I will make as many efforts as I can to share them as all of you have...

Take care!

This is what really stood out from the Learning to let go post... It just really clicked with me...

"I think setting your intention at the start of a session is important. Just having an intention to heal without any expectation of it happening is the way that I find works best. I also think it is useful to just ask the universe to help you heal for the higher good of all involved"

Asking within is a very simple technique. All you do is either think or, if you want, say outloud, your question (one at a time is best). Look for the very first thing that comes to mind. It is not always a thought, it may be a sensation, an emotion, or picture that comes to mind. Look at what that means to you. Sometimes it will come as you seeing what it is that you are supposed to do, but many times it comes as a symbol. It is usually very quick and sometimes comes before you've even finished the questions, so be ready.

Also, after posing the question keep a very keen "eye" on your surroundings. Does anything stick out to you. Something on the TV, you overhear a conversation, you see something while driving that really rivets you, etc. Those are also guiding symbols.

Sometimes the meaning of the symbol will elude you. That is OK just keep open to the information coming in a form that is more easily understood.

We have been led, we are being lead, we will be led. Most of all have fun and keep it light. I know I sometimes get too serious when wanting an answer and then I really clog the "pipes."

Thank you Debra. I kind of feel I have been doing this EXCEPT I have been continually getting in my way… Falling in and out of this space… And the more I get out of my way the more I hear, or should I say feel or sense... It's as if when I feel my energy in conjunction with something or someone I intuitively sense, feel or see what my place in time in conjunction with that matter is… And I get a feel as to whether or not to move forward, away, speak, not speak, etc… I am starting to see more clearly where my mind gets in the way and I am starting to listen to my intuitive answers in faith… The key here is to stay within the intuitive answers while keeping my feet planted and marching forward…

I like your energy… Nice to meet you! And once again, thank you!
