grr. this was my umm.. fifth? sixth? attempt to login to livejournal. i'm not too annoyed with things like pages loading slowly, but i'm getting really fed up with complete timeouts. that's just rubbish. ( little TMI thing that's not on the main topic anyway )
Anyways. You all remember that chakra activity test thing? Well, I looked at the "chakra opening exercises" section of the site, figured what the heck, and was experimenting with the mudras and mantras given there for each of the chakras. On several of them, but especially with the one for root chakra (tip of right forefinger and thumb touching, forming a circle), I got a sensation that I frequently get when attempting to work with energy: a sort of pressure and tingling that is quite uncomfortable, which generally manifests at the point of contact or the place where I'm trying to gather or move energy.
I generally find myself unable to bear more than a few seconds of the feeling before I have to stop. In the case of the root chakra mudra, it was concentrated at that point where the fingers touched, feeling somewhat like electricity or static, almost painful. (I hate the feeling of static or electric shock, anyway. Electricity is not my thang.) I'm not sure what to think of this. On the one hand, maybe it's just the way energy is supposed to feel, and I should learn to put up with it. On the other, maybe it's some sort of sign, or I am a natural resistor and shouldn't even be trying, or something.
