I wanted to begin this thread to discuss energy movement.
First of all there are different forms of energy, so please submit your experiences, comments, and techniques.
What I have found is that breathing is a key factor in the intensity of the energy being raised. Several months ago I was lying down in meditation, focusing on my chakras and trying to obe. I began to breathe a little bit more deeply than usual, and started to follow my breath rather than concentrate too hard on obe. I began to sense very slight tingly sensations around my feet and hands, and other parts of the body. Eventually I was breathing very deeply, with nice long exhales. Soon I began to feel a slight pressure in my abdomen. This pressure can be best described as a ball of energy pushing down on my solar plexus, but at the same time pushing up (from inside) evenly. As I continued to breathe deeply, this feeling of pressure spread up to my chest and head, and down to my lower abdomen and root chakra area.
I thought this was a very interesting thing that was happening, and the sensations were getting stronger and stronger. I continued to breathe deeply, as the breath was the fuel for this fire bath of energy.
This energy soon engulfed my entire body, but was strongest at the chakra areas, especially the heart and abdomen. Interestingly there were two centers in my abdomen which I did not know about, they are about four inches outwards from my belly button (going towards the hips). These form a sort of cross formation with the main chakras. Well, that whole area was really really feeling it. The energy was so strong in my hands that my fingers were straight and closed together, I couldn't seperate them for a while. My face even changed, I mean the energy was pushing my muscles in a way that made my expression different, and it was really hard to open my eyes. I know this because I got up and looked in the mirror, it was a little bit scary. My shirt was soaked in a cold sweat, and I could almost percieve a color pattern on my skin. Walking was difficult and took great effort, it seemed as though all of my muscles were being affected. It took about 20-30 minutes of calm breathing and stretching before the energy simmered down.
Needless to say, that was an eye-opener for me, so I began practicing yoga after that. If I ever raise those energies again, I would like to have a little bit more control.
