How very strange, Mike! Or maybe it's not? Do you know if others

felt these sensations in their bodies, or was it just you?? To me,

that would be kind of scary, but I'm sure to you, it was just more

of what you usually feel.

--------------

No, that was just me today, not the others. And also no, it was not

at all scary. I am very used to feeling the energy pulsing in my

hands - happens all the time. I am also used to feeling the full

body sensation and far more than what happened today. I have

actually had the full body thing happen twice - once in a class a

few months ago and once in Detroit. The class episode happened

during a good emotional release while my shoulder was being worked

on. During that one, I could feel or sense the energy moving

vertically up and down all the meridians. In Detroit, it did the

meridians to start and then went berserk. I ended up feeling ALL of

the channels, motor spirals, and chakras, one by one.

What was strange or interesting about today was two things. The

first is that we do these exercises the start of EVERY class day.

Between my Jin Shin Do and Polarity classes, this is at least 35-40

days worth of doing them. I will always feel the energy in my palms

or between my hands. This is the only time it has expanded beyond

that. Looking at it another way, this is the only time I have been

able to get that full body energetic awareness outside of being

worked on energetically by someone else.

Again, it was not at all scary. I found it to be an interesting and

even fascinating development. More than anything else, it intrigued

me, like " ok, what next? " Kind of like maybe my power level got

kicked up another notch.

And on that note, I wouldn't be surprised. During my afternoon

session, I was working on someone who is both a PT and LMP. She

also has had a lot of problems over the years with surgeries, etc.

At any rate, I ended up freeing up her shoulder, shifted her left SI

joint, and totally realigned her left knee cap. ALL of it was done

energetically. And I do NOT mean that the sensations that were felt

were just energetic sensations. I am talking about her knee totally

realigning itself physically. You could see and feel the structures

shifting around in her knee. She hasn't been able to do more walk on

it at moderate speed for about two years. When I was done, her

posture had shifted and she told me she felt like she could run on

it with no problem.

Regarding your ability to see all around the room with your eyes

closed.... Maybe it was an astral projection?

Feeling the meridians - is that similar to what I experience with

you? When I felt the energy go down meridians??? Can you explain

more about feeling the chakras? Are you talking about more " energy "

in each specific chakra - was it vibrating, humming, electric???

------------------

The eye/vision thing is hard to describe. It doesn't feel like any

kind of out of body experience - just an expanded awareness. It is

like a visual awareness except my eyes are closed and

the " awareness " extends beyond what would be my open-eyes line of

sight.

As for feeling the energy, the sensations are similar to what I feel

when I am treating someone. In other words, all over the board. You

have to keep in mind that the body has numerous rhythms and

energetic patterns. What I am sensing is undoubtedly a combination

of them. Some are fairly easy for me to identify, others less so.

As examples, the cranialsacral rhythm is like a rhythmic pulse that

rolls out and back from the center line of the body and back toward

the center line. The energy in the base, paired, meridians feels a

bit like a humming or buzzing current running vertically up and down

the body. The individual Chakras swirl in a spiral pattern centered

over the specific Chakra. Then there are some that seem to spiral

around the body in a head to toe pattern and others that spiral

around the body like it is being wrapped in a cocoon. On these, I

don't know if they are part of the polarity motor spirals, the eight

extra acupressure meridians or a combination of the two. When they

are all firing at the same time it can be a bit confusing trying to

sort them out. You basically just focus your intention on them

individually to separate them.

And again, everyone senses energy in their own way. I sense it as a

physical feeling. On the other hand, I have classmates who sense it

as colors, sound, tastes, textures. It varies from person to

person. You might be " feeling " the same thing but you perceive it

differently.

I generally just " feel " it. I have, however, had two major and a

couple of minor episodes where I had a visual element tossed in as

well. The two major ones were the ones I mentioned earlier - in

class and in Detroit. In those cases, in addition to " feeling " the

movement of energy, I also had a " visual " sensation in my mind of

the energy moving in channels like a light grey shadow.

The wierd eye thing, feeling the energy move thruout the body, and

seeing colors when either being worked on or working on someone

else, are all fairly recent developments. With the one exception in

class a few months ago, all of it has suddenly developed in the last

two months.

As to why or what it means - can't tell you, don't know. I suspect,

however, that it means my energetic rheostat has been kicked up

another notch. That has been the pattern for the last couple of

years. I would take a class, come home, and find that I was

starting to feel something " new " or be able to do

something " different. " And it would be sporadic for awhile. After a

month or so, I would just absorb it as part of whatever it is that I

am or do and move on - it would become routine. A bit like putting

a subluxed rib or vertebrae back in place energetically. The first

time or two that it happened it was like " whoa Nellie - what's

happening here. " Kind of freaked me out. Now? I not only

routinely do it all the time, I will go into a session with the full

expectation of being able to do it.

One of the reasons that I am posting as much as I am now on some of

this from my perspective is that others on the list are starting to

play around with my polarity and acupressure suggestions. And in

time they are going to go through similar developmental stages. I

didn't have someone around to explain to me what was happening to me

and I have gone through more mental turmoil adjusting to it than I

care to think about. I am just trying to smooth the way for others

who set off on the same path so they know what to expect or at least

what might happen and what it feels like.

Going into some of this blind (as in suddenly having some of it

happen) can be very scary if you don't know what to expect. But

with knowledge, comes acceptance, and with acceptance - out goes

fear.

On a side issue to that, you have no idea how satisfying it is to be

able to do something like I did yesterday afternoon. I am working

on a PT who knows all the standard treatment stuff and has been

getting worked on regularly for months, if not longer ... and to be

able to get results with her knee energetically in less than five

minutes that she has not been able to get at all with standard

stuff? No, I don't think I can simply turn my back and walk away

from all of this at this point.
