    I went to a pranic healing class with my sister in law last week (I've been out 6 years and I'm starting to get pretty open minded). I didn't expect to feel or experience anything "different". I thought it was all weird but was not scared of the ideas like I would have been a few years ago.

    So anyways we did a couple excercises where we held our hands a couple feet above our partners hands and visualized light in different colors beaming out of ours and hitting theres and then switched roles. I FELT her hands!!!! she moved them in circles and I totally felt it. I can now hold me hands facing eachother and feel "energy". It's weird to me because it feels a little like witchcraft or something that being raised as a JW was a no no.. He talked about Chakras and energy like it was an everyday reality because he was talking to a room of healers (massage therapists, acupuncturests etc etc) and me.. We also did some meditations and it was like no prayer I've ever felt. It was AMAZING! I saw colors and felt so peaceful. anyhoo, so I bought a book on chakras because it's like speaking another language to me and I want to know what on earth he was talking about.

    What sort of knowledge do you all have about chakras, energy, meditation, transcending etc.?

    Oh my goodness i love everything to do with Chakras, enery, life force etc!

    I am training to be a Crystal therapist and i have practised Yoga for many years. Ignored the borg's rules on it! Lol. If you love meditation and the feeling that you get try Kundalini Yoga! It involves mantra chanting and i swear to you it's amazing!!!!!

    I regularly do energy clearences in my home, using a pendalum, bell chimes and incense. There are loads of books you can buy that go into detail. A good one i have is called ''The chakra bible''. You will be able to get it off amazon.

    The type of life i lead now is soo completely different to my dubbie upbringing, Love it!

    So glad you enjoyed the pranic healing class!

    Peace

    What manifests is vibrating at different rates. What we call the physical, inluding the body, is what vibrates at the slowest rate, and so is most easily seen; in other words, the physical is seen because it is more "dense". The body is a sea of energy in motion, and when the more subtle energy in the body gets blocked it affects the body, eventually manifesting in physical illness. What is less dense vibrates at higher rates, making it less likely to be seen and experienced. The chakras are different areas of the body where subtle energy vibrates at increasingly higher rates. When those areas are cleared of obstructions that subtle energy flows more freely, and the result of this is a better functioning body and an increased ability to "see" beyond what is normally seen - that's why you were seeing colors and sensing someone else's hands even though you weren't physically touching them. Meditation is a vast subject, with many techniques to achieve different things; some of them: to calm the mind, to open the awareness to the more subtle forms of energy and direct that energy, and to become alert to what's temporary and what's permanent. In meditation you can directly experience what transcends the physical, to see what's always present but normally not seen/experienced, your true nature. It is this meditation that most interests me. There are disciplines that are devoted to waking up to the subtle energies and using that energy to the benefit of others as well as to yourself, like pranic healing. Others include Reiki, Tai Chi, and Qigong .

    Hahahahaa it's so interesting this topic came up because I rented a couple of books (I've had to rent cos money is tight right now lol) from the library on meditation and crystal healing. I had a Divination Session with a priestess a few weeks ago who teaches Kemetic Yoga and African Cosmology. In fact one of friends does a Kemetic Yoga retreat in Jamaica once every year which I hope to make in the near future since that's where my family is from.

    The book on crystal healing definitely grabbed my attention and when my broke ass can afford it I'm going to purchase different crystals needed for different purposes, whether to help with my depression or to help heal certain ailments. I don't have it to hand but it mentions that if you're in certain environments then the properties within certain crystals raises your vibrational field and helps to protect you.

    All these things that the Borg teaches are "tha deemunz" are simply spiritual practices mankind did thousands of years before religion came on the scene and they all did just fine. They were at one with themselves and nature and didn't fear death as it was simply viewed as a transitional journey.

    One thing the priestess told me was that if something doesn't resonate with you, just don't do it. Now compare to the society who will just tell you to "wait on Jehovah" or to have more "faith" even if it's killing you inside because you know deep down it isn't true.

    Give me spirituality over religion any day.

    When negativity moves through our auric field it manifests as an illness in our physical layer [which is the physical flesh]. If we keep our auric fields clear by chakra balancing, aura sweeps, mediation we can keep a lot of illnesses at bay. We are energy and when our energy centres [chakras] are blocked or become over active our physical self starts to suffer.

    Babysprout is a ''crystal'' child and has natural healing abilities. I had a migraine headache the other day and she rested her hands on my head. The heat that came through her little hands was immense! My migraine went!

    The information that is available on all these subjects is overwhelming! Enjoy discovering all the wonderful things about ''energy''.

    Peace

    I hope you guys are happy, I really do, but have you learned nothing after successfully extracting yourselves from a religious cult?! There's as much evidence for the reality of chakras and crystal healing as there is for the nonsense of living forever in a paradise on earth.

    As someone that has been in eastern martial arts for over 30 years, you can imagine what I have seen that is "esoteric" to say the least, LOL !

    Our bodies produce and bioelectrical field, that field CAN be manipulted, both internally and externally.

    It can be used to heal, to hurt, it can be used for spiritual advancment or to go to a deep and dark area that very few can even contemplate exists.

    Hi Finding My Way,

    Congratulations on feeling the your s-i-l's hand energy, although you probably have felt it before and just wasn't aware of it. I have a couple of questions for you and would really love to talk to you. If you prefer, we could take this to pm.

    Robyn
