Energy Systems

I am now definitely certain of a direct relationship between sensations in the body being related to emotional states. I have been playing around with energy circulation techniques for ages, since a 6 month stint of full time tai chi - which barely scratched the surface of the possibility of what energy workings can do.

There is a book by taylor ellwood - inner alchemy which takes a modern approach and blends energy systems - which i must look at one day. I haven’t read it. Anways its definitely a mine field of random research and various gurus and experts proclaiming what works. So it is almost impossible to find a system that is proven scientifically.

Probably the most important practical things I have worked out are :

I have found that anxiety and fear is almost always represented by a build up of nasty feeling energy in the pit of the stomach. I have also found non-resistance to this energy and simply feeling the sensation by going into a trance like state almost always cures this issue. When I say trance like I mean just feel the sensation and go with it, don't try and assume your feeling or emotions to be caused by anything. Slowly the energy untwists like a tangled set of head phones or shoe laces. Suddenly you start to know why you felt those feelings and that they no longer really have such an intense effect. This is described in the Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle - highly recommend read but you need to filter out the pseudo spiritual jargon and sift out the technique.

Today I had another discovery - ANGER- the above technique does not help with anger or depressive states only fear and anxiety. Anger had been frustrating me because no matter what I seem to always click into passive aggressive mode about work and life. The same stuff like why do I have to go to work in the morning or people who just irritate me. Most of us have passive anger. What I finally worked out is that anger is stored in the hands and feet. Well this is for me anyways. I realise as well any depressive states I have are a result of storing to much anger. This is why my fist always clenches or curl my toes in frustration. I looked up hand chakras online and got this :

"The chakras in the palms of the hands are often (incorrectly IMHO) relegated to minor status. These chakras transmit healing energy and receive energetic information from the universe. The palm chakras are used to channel healing energies to yourself and others and to receive impressions of the energy of a room, person, situation, etc. Activation and awareness of These chakras makes a major difference in the quality of life. They can often be opened by intention. Practice in becoming aware of the energy of the palm chakras is a good place to start if you are at all interested in energy work and spiritual healing. or in any of the psychic arts. healing chakras may also activate in the fingertips and elsewhere in the body. The chakra in the palms of the hands are powerful sensors and channels for vibratory information and energy . many adhere to the convention that the left palm receives or senses energy and the right palm sends it out. My experience is that both hands will send and sense energy. you can improve and focus these functions by using intention and by allowing the input and out flow"


Well that does not back up my theory. However it may be that my anger was instead blocking the palm charka's and thus making me destructive rather then a healer which is my intention. Back to the discovery - I applied the same technique to my hands and feet as I did for the stomach knots for fear and bang my anger disappeared very very quickly.

It seems I may have cured my passive aggression. Mind you I think rather then remove my anger it makes me feel in control of it – it’s not gone just it doesn’t overwhelm me, and things will always irritate me it’s also not instant so if anaggressive rushis triggered then there is not enough time to kick in this technique. However I’m hoping it will stop me doing anything destructive. This I think is a serious break through. Normal therapy would be to find the issue of the anger but sometimes the cause will never go away, in just done to us does not get healed because we forgive people, that just lets us move forward, the emotion of anger remains (and it cannot be repressed). A job we hate cannot not always be changed, a relative or neighbour can always be a prick but if you can stop the hating feeling the you can start healing. So I am becoming more and more certain emotions and energy are very closely related and stored in the body. Cleansing this energy and increasing health will increase quality of internal life and thoughts I am certain....it is a more direct path to happiness then most I have tried.....must get back to training the tai chi.
