Dreams and Catalysts.

[SomaticDreams]

How do you balance your chakras? On method I use is through careful attention, quietly elicit the feelings that have been pushed into the background, make these conscious, and work with the unresolved disposition they suggest. I suppose this method is a bit like the 'courtship' suggested by Ra.

I use a similar technique. It's not so much that these energies are not known, it's the 'action' of putting this knowledge into effect in my life. My life long theme is addiction...to everything. I get obsessive with everything, sensations, knowledge, experiences, etc. I drive myself towards things to the extreme and back off once their novelty wears off. I understand this to be an illusion (as a practicing Buddhist for 21 years), and have an extensive background in many of the Buddhist traditions. I think the Buddhist tradition is very similar to what the LOO material states, albeit in a more metaphysical manner (whereas Buddhism is focused more upon practical matters, namely the release of suffering).

Anyways, back to the subject on hand. I use vipassana meditation, using emotions as a support for my meditation. I go back to how I felt, or how I feel at that moment, and break it down. Why am I feeling this? What does it feel like? Does it come from one thing, or several things? Do I enjoy this feeling, or do I not? etc. Meditation gives me the insight to know where it comes from and the fact that I need to let go, and not put special importance on that experience, and that I can transform that experience however I wish.

Again it's a matter of being here now, and utilizing this information. I try to abstain from things, but it pulls me closer every time. I often catch myself, do deep breathing and remember that I am a part of creation, learning and experiencing itself. Affirming myself in Sunyata...the void or emptiness. It helps to clear out these energies and balance them. This is not to say I am without fault...this is what happens when I do catch myself or do not indulge into things.

What is this courtship, recommended by Ra? I apologize, I will look it up on my own when I have time tommorow...

Blessings to you my good friend for sharing with me your experience. Love to your light and all lights so that they may shine brighter together in this moment, to illuminate all.
