Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Sat Nam- I have a question regarding chakras. I'm quite familiar with the major chakras up the spine. I've read several places that there are minor chakras throughout the body as well. From what I've read/found, there is a chakra in the palm of each hand. I haven't seen any indication of chakras in the fingertips though. I'm assuming that there is. Up to this point in my practice, I hadn't been able to make out any difference in the various mudras used during kriyas. But within the past 2 weeks, I've been feeling 'energy connections' as I touch each finger tip. This is extremely noticiable when I'm doing the mudra for Sa Ta Na Ma Ra Ma Da Sa. Do the finger tips have chakras in as well? I've noticed this morning that I'm still feeling energy in my fingers. And, due to my moon cycle beginning, I only did a few warm up asanas and then a 15 minute silent meditation this morning. Nothing intense at all. I can touch my thumb to any of my fingers and instantly feel a flow between them. Normally I only experience this during and right after practice. As I walk around, it feels almost like I've got little 'energy balls' on each finger tip. Does this make sense to anyone? And if there aren't chakras in the fingertips, can someone tell me what these sensations are? Thanks! Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2002 Report Share Posted August 8, 2002 Sat Nam Christa, Sensitivity is increasing. Time will come when the whole hand will feel like a big ball of energy. Keep practicing and enjoy. That energy is very healing. Sincerely yours Hari Sant Singh Kindness has no defeat. Caring has no end. And touching people's hearts is the only language God knows. --- "spatialagent1" <spatialagent1 wrote: ___________ SikhNet - http://www.SikhNet.com ___________ Get news on Sikhism and the Sikhnet web site Sign up at http://www.SikhNet.com/ ___________ Promote your group and strengthen ties to your members with email by Everyone.net http://www.everyone.net/?btn=tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 The hands are the most ":yang" part of the body and relate directly to the pranic body and are therefore a hotbed of energy. There is a chi-gate (energy transference point) in the palm of each hand. There is a point at the end of each finger where the polarities change so energy can travel up and down the arms. You can work with that to send energy out the fingertips. Also, depending on your innate tendencies, that is the strength of one polarity or another, you will have a natural tendency to take in energy or give off energy through the hands - that can be excessive and problematic or just minorly interesting. When the energy becomes very active and begins to form a pattern of somekind it forms a magentic field, thus you feel heaviness or "lock hand" in some way or another. Hot or cold depends on the polarity of energy inside. The fingers can begin to twitch or swell slightly or itch as the capillaries are beginning to expand and energy is trying to move. Because of the way in which the body is constructed, they are in some ways a mirror for the segments of the brain and also the chakras. Thus working with mudras changes what is going on in the brain and directs prana through the chakras and the brain in different kinds of ways. Once the subtle body, which relates to the chi gates in the feet, is opened up sufficiently you will experience the different effects of mudra just by using them. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 hey there, Seems like yu got a lot of answers for the questions. My input is that when I first start doing the ramadasa meditation 15 years ago my hands would not stay flat. it would become cupped,energised and very resistant to stretching out for the mudra. My yoga teacher at the time told me that my brain was adjusting to the changes and that there was probably weakness in the brain that would get resolved if I kept my hands stretched out .also my personality would be affected and I would straighten out. It made sense then.I continued feeling energy but I do believe that there is a chakra there and keeping the mudras as proper as possible work on so many different levels sirkhalsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Satnam Hety, Did you ever find out what brad did the rest of those days?( : I to have the sensation to do the rocking thing as I call it. I have come up with the conclusion that if I have not exercised enough my nervous system have a harder time meditating there fore I want to squirm.My mind is also having problems letting go so my body is the distraction. Another thing that happens is that the kundalini energy might be to much for me, the chakras are opening up and I am not processing all the changes on the subtle level. When this happens it is important that you keep the spine straight and apply the neck lock to allow the body to recieve safely.We usually start reacting first on the physical level I think. We are all resistant to changes. The subconscious mind plays a role in here to.Last but not least I am a natural dancer and I love to move to music .If this is the case keep the posture or dance to the music instead! sir khalsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Are there kriyas to do that can help the energy flow from the fingertips to other parts of the body? My fingers have been tingling so much the past few days. It's like my fingers are about to fall asleep or like they're REALLy cold. But they aren't cold or falling asleep. The sensations are extending down to the middle joints on each finger as well. And the past few nights during meditation, my left ring fingertip feels like it 'has a hole' on the end when I do hte mudra. Not sure that makes sense. But I'm wondering if the energy is getting stuck there and not flowing, or if that's just a normal sensation of the chakras opening.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 > > > Are there kriyas to do that can help the energy > flow from the > > fingertips to other parts of the body? My fingers > have A few days ago I had writted about the pranic energization technique, which helps in driving and circulating the prana from one point of the body to the other parts of the body. Healers use one hand for giving energy, and use another hand for receiving energy through the air, and they are trained to focus more on receiving energy so that they do not lose their energy in healing their patients. Also, they can gain more energy every time they heal someone. Incidentally, I realized that the healer position is the position for the idols for Gods in Hindu temples, with the (healing) right palm and fingers facing the devotee, and the (receiving) left palm and its fingers held down and tilted slightly towards the ceiling. gayathri HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hello, In relation to the mudras questions, what about rocking? I have a terrible urge to move in a forward/backward movement (not a lot) while chanting, but not when I'm quietly meditating. Love, Hety My input is that when I first start doing the ramadasa meditation 15 years ago my hands would not stay flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
