Hi Joseph! Don't be worried about the lack of energy. It is probably just the result of some large energetic shifting within your system. Although this may be incredibly annoying and distressing for you (having recently been through this myself I can whole-heartedly sympathise) it is actually a good sign. Look at it this way, if you had undergone major surgery your body would need a few weeks to recover. A big reiki session is just the same and consequently can have the same result..... So my advice is - look after yourself and listen to your body. Drink lots of water, try to stay away from alcohol / tobacco / caffeine etc. eat good healthy (i.e not processed) foods and most of all enjoy the healing process! I assure you that once you've come through this you will be amazed at the difference. Onwards and upwards! Love & Light Dan. ###### NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 14:35:11 -0500 From: "Joseph M.

Which is the case for > me. Yes! This is the solar plexus chakra and is your power centre. Very often when this centre is opened up you will literally 'loose all power'. It's an awful feeling, but is part of the re-building process that happens when you finally let go of old and out-dated patterns of behaviour. Now is the time to really meditate on this centre and try to understand what it means to you. How do you want to progress? What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to dominate or be dominated or would you rather just be 'you' and be comfortable with that? The verb for this centre is "I can" and this is where your driving force comes from. Perhaps this is a signal for you to re-assess where you are going, and what you are doing with your life. It is the solar-plexus centre that ignites the passion for life and if this area is dead then perhaps you have not been following your true passion? Knowledge is power, understand yourself and you will take back that power! If you want more info then please feel free to e-mail me direct!...

You explain that solar plexus can be empty of its "power". Can it be too full ? What would be the effects ?... Because something like "you don't want to open it and to let go out your "power" ?" Good morning to you, Sylvaine. PS : I still feel "bubbles" and energy inside of me ! It comes back like I was 20 years ago... for this feeling, only ! ... but its really pleasant. > Yes!

What would be the effects ?... Because something like > "you don't want to open it and to let go out your "power" ?" Hi Sylvain! Yes, all chakras can be underactive, overactive or in equilibrium. However, I think an important thing to remember is that there really is no such thing as a 'perfect' chakra. They are always in a state of flux and change. So, what state a chakra is in will depend on a whole range of things such as your emotional state, past experience, environment, health, level of development, age etc. etc. in fact the list is pretty much endless. However, things start going wrong when this process is stopped or hindered in some way. So, like you say, if you are keeping your solar-plexus area closed because you are afraid of "loosing your power" then this centres ability to process and release energy will be reduced or even stopped entirely. If you carry on like this for a long time then it will eventually have a knock on effect to the rest of your system, and in extreme cases will manifest itself as a physical dis-ease. So what starts out as a perfectly natural threat response, if perpetuated, will start to become detrimental or bad for your system. This is why release is such an important watch-word for healing :) Just for today..... I hope this helps!

Several people have mentioned it. It does seem to be part of the process. If the realities of your day allow for it, just go ahead and sleep. I had a few sessions (self-healing, after my attunement) where I slept for two or three hours -- when I had a day off from work. It was just a natural reaction. In fact, if I give myself an hour-long self-healing session, I almost always feel like drifting into a sleep. It turns out to be a deep sleep, usually, and I feel very refreshed and clear-headed afterwards. But for this reason, during most days, I just give myself 10 minutes of Reiki self-healing at any one time. That way I can carry on with the day without napping. And by the end of the day the 10-minute sessions can still add up to an hour or nearly an hour. Blessings, montane
