Solar Plexus Releases

[Guest guest]

Pieter and Empath... you touched on something that I haven't had the

proper forum to ask questions until now. Hopefully this group would

help me unwind some confusion about what I have been experiencing.

 

I've been having "releases" involuntary expansion/contraction in my

solar plexus - especially when I am processing or finished

processing some deep emotional "stuff". A psychic told me they are

kriyas. Are they? Another one told me it was blockage of energy

flow. A qigong practitioner told me to push the energy to earth in

the horse stance (a basic martial arts stance). Here in this forum

it seems that the goal is to have the energy seek itself upwards.

 

Anyway, lately I have had an awareness that my heart chakra was a

little shut down. I feel like it's just going through some

renovation and closed for reconstruction. But I have also been

reeding a book on Soul Love by Sanaya Roman that seeks to "Lift

solar plexus energy into your heart center to be transformed into

love." I've been working on that.

 

Pieter especially struck a chord when you talked of Buddhism and

martial arts with regards to solar plexus energy. I was raised in

the Jodo Shinshu sect in California (a "whitewashed" version of

Buddhism - my mother could have doubled as "church lady" on SNL).

My deceased grandmother who I am sure are one of my ancentral guides

was a strict Zen Buddhist and practiced shiatsu. I studied Kenpo

Karate and Tai Chi before I landed in yoga. I am really drawn to

Tibetan Buddhism.

 

Anyway - whatever you call what I am experiencing - I feel very

lethargic right before these episodes. After the releases I am a

little quiet, but I get right up and feel a lot more energy than

before. So it can't be all that bad. I experienced them half an

hour ago. I guess the goal is to have energy flow more regulated

and constant rather than up and down?

 

Your thoughts?
