Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 The video about the chakras was very impressive. Thank you! The way they showed the first chakra open up (golden circle with spinning petals) is exactly how I saw it. Though the petals were revolving so fast that I could not grasp them when I saw it. But now upon seeing the video I noticed that it was exactly the same thing. And the way it showed Manipura Chakra with a man playing with Chi energy... here is my own video log back in 2007: http://tinyurl.com/d499kf you might need psychic vision to see that Chi fire thou... hehe And from that chakra video I reckon that K is presently working on my 5th Chakra... becaue K makes similar sounds from my throat that Tibetans make when they pray... like from a Bamboo... and other loud vibrations with the Larynx. Sometimes I get the urge to say OM loudly (because I love it) but K never allows me to utter it. I think its very important and powerful sound and K will use it itself at the right time. The time of my death maybe.... Ommmmmmmmm........ (Mani going... going... going away....) mmmmmmmmmm... (petals falling apart)..... mmmmmm (K moving upwards without any blockages).... mmmmmmmm.....
