Adjusting to New Energies
I wrote” “In addition we do have built in protection in our etheric webbing around our centers. This prevents too much energy being released at once as the centers are opening up.”
To this a reader asked the following: Why do we need “protection” from too much energy being released at once? Is this a danger to ourselves or others in some way? And is the energy being released from our centers as they open up lost or is a perpetual energy?
JJ: When the petals of the lotuses of the centers unfold new energies are released and they take some getting used to because they heighten the vibration of the physical, astral and sometimes mental bodies.
The seeker has a difficult enough time with a natural release of new energies. Sometimes he may open one new energy in a lifetime and other times several. Those not so far along the path may go several lifetimes without releasing new energies.
In a normal release the seeker may experience the following.
[1] A tingling feeling around the center which is opening up.
[2] Strange unexplainable feelings like he is fading away or feeling like he may pass out.
[3] Inner lights when his eyes are closed.
[4] Visions
[5] A sense that God or some high being wants to communicate with him.
[6] Health problems centered in the organs or area connected to the stimulated center.
[7] A sense of euphoria.
These and other symptoms will occur until the seeker adjusts to the new energies. After the adjustment, which may take a couple years, he will the feel somewhat normal again but have an increase in abilities in certain areas.
If the seeker lives a normal life the above will be the worst that will happen, but if he places too much concentration on prematurely opening a center he is likely to release forces he is not equipped to handle, and may face the following dangers.
[1] Delusions of grandeur.
[2] The energy will be so powerful he will come close to madness.
[3] A few will actually go insane.
[4] In the worst case scenario he could die.
For our protection we all have protective webbing between our various centers that helps to limit the circulation of new energies. When the energy is mastered then the webbing dissolves. If powerful mediation destroys the webbing early then the seeker will face various dangers.
To help understand the new energies visualize the problems a deep-sea diver has as he attempts to rise to the surface. His body has adjusted to the great pressure of the deep and if he rises too fast his body cannot adjust and he is in danger of sickness or death. To solve the problem he rises slowly to the surface and gives his body time to adjust to the lighter pressure.
Even so, we are in the dense physical and when we seek to rise to the higher spiritual levels we have to make adjustments also. If we rise up slowly then we will have time to safely adjust, but if we rise too fast into the higher spiritual energies we will encounter a number of dangers.
Our centers are linked to the world of Spirit and the spiritual energies are always there. The seeker doesn’t have access until his energy petals open up. After they open the energy that is always in circulation then becomes available from that point on unless the seeker rebels against the light.
Question: Let’s say someone “places too much concentration on the opening center and forces the flow then he will face the following dangers.” Is there a way to stop/contain it and place a protection/shield around it again or is the person simply doomed to one of the four results you listed?
JJ: Unless a person has done some type of meditation or breathing exercise with too much emphasis on certain centers or focused with great emphasis on the need for power he is likely to safely pass through the opening of the centers that occur in his lifetime.
But keep in mind that even if he is doing everything right the opening of one or more of the petals can be stressful and perplexing.
Once the protective webbing has been removed there is no putting it back. If the seeker has released too much energy the key is to learn to adjust to it. Over a period of time the disciple will adapt and things will seem normal again. Lifting a weight may be difficult at first but when strength is increased it may then become easy. When spiritual strength is increased the seeker can then handle the new energy.
Question: What center would have opened if the individual was having symptoms of Mono, extreme fatigue, and a feeling of being overwhelmed and what can be done?
JJ: Those symptoms could be caused by some physical imbalance or deficiency.
If we assume that one of the centers is causing the problem then there is no way to positively identify which one on this much information as several centers can produce something like this. It is most likely that it is the heart center though as an over release of energy there can produce what you describe. By paying attention to the energy flow within your body you may get clues as to which center is involved.
If the problem mentioned is caused by an energy release through a center you can assist by doing the following:
[1] Do not fight it or let it cause you to fear. The more you resist the stranger you will feel.
[2] Note that the feelings you have are there and continue with your life as if everything is normal. Put your attention on enjoying life and this will quicken the adjustment.
[3] Do everything you can to maximize your physical health. Get lots of exercise and good nutrition. Pay particular attention to normalizing your blood sugar. Cut out all refined sugars. Eat whole grain bread with no more than 2 grams of sugar per slice.
[4] Cease all meditation, except for short prayers, until the energy flow seems normal.
[5] Each new energy is pushing you toward learning something new. Tune into your soul and attempt to discover your next step. If you are moving toward that step normalization will come much quicker.
Hope this helps.
Always put off until tomorrow what you shouldn’t do at all. – Morris Mandel
