It opened up our friendship and it is much stronger now. The thing that experience taught me is that it is important to express my feelings (i'm pretty diplomatic, so it's usually fine). My whole life I have been terrified of expressing my true feelings for fear of being rejected, embarrassed, or humiliated. Lately when I think carefully about my feelings and express them when I need to, interesting things begin to happen. For example, today I had a terrible headache (still do). But for a moment when I was teaching a 6 year old a drum lesson who was behaving pretty badly and not listening, I spoke up in gentle but honest way. Normally I would try to repress my irritation and calmly tell her to stop. This time, I said in a really calm voice "Listen. I don't feel very good right now because my head hurts, so I'm not feeling as patient as I usually do. I really need you to listen." She immediately stopped and tried to be very good. I in turn felt heard and so no longer felt irritated. My headache went away for a few moments! As soon as I realized what had happened, I began to doubt myself, and the pain came back. But I don't mind, because that taught me a pretty good lesson about speaking my truth while not causing harm.

From childhood, I noticed that my brother and other people would develop the sniffles whenever something happened that would likely cause an emotional reaction, which he didn't express. I noticed in myself that suppressed feelings would typically translate into sinus congestion and sometimes a full blown head cold. If your toning and other chakra work got you in touch with feelings that you were not able to clear completely, that certainly might translate into congestion or a head cold. It sounds like you vented your feelings at your friend. I hope that did not damage a valuable relationship. It is usually a good idea to separate our own emotional clearing work from communicating with others. (Not that I am so very good at that myself.) But we all do the best we can and it is important to find ways to raise and resolve issues. Have you been able to feel and give voice or otherwise clear fully whatever anger, fear or grief may be going on for you? This is not a process for your friend to witness or receive, but something for you to do on your own or with another who is not involved in the issues. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes we can clear emotions on our own, and sometimes we need the attention of another to help us clear out the really tough stuff, and clear it out thoroughly. When people push our buttons in a big way, it is almost always the case that the reason it is so very upsetting is because of what it reminds us of from childhood. Is that something you have considered? Also, we are sometimes good at accessing and clearing some emotions, but not all. Blocked access to a specific emotion can really hold a person back. Something like that may or may not be going on with you. It sounds like you have a history of blocked emotions that you are now having some success in moving. In either case, be patient, kind and forgiving with yourself as you find your way to greater wholeness. I hope these comments are helpful for you. Best wishes on your path.

Much of your post speaks to me. I had very harsh traumas in my childhood, so I understand what you mean. When I started practicing energy work, things started to open up and eventually heal. Scary, but helpful. I am finally trying to get through all the tough stuff to get the the next step in my spiritual progress. Right now at the moment, I am in a weird space. It feels a little stagnant, and that is depressing to me. It was so exciting for awhile, once I got over the scariness and just accepted it. Now, it feels like I am resisting my next steps, and I don't know quite how to push on. I appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!

It actually sounds like you are well within 'normal' changes and side effects. At this point in my experience, cold like feelings are like a guardrail on the road for me... meaning... as soon as I get a little hint of them its a sign to rebalance, or slow down a bit. Its not 'bad' to process dissonance and detox through colds, flu, fever... its just that it can be even more graceful, and htere are layers of deeper experience that are not easy to focus on without learning to be more subtle. the throat is amazing. I highly recomend meditating on the navel (stomach) and third eye. hold your hands on the navel, and then close your eyes. point the eyes up, cross eyed, like you are trying to see your eyebrow from the inside. this focuses feeling there. once you sense it, you can relax the eyes, just do the gaze again if you loose sensation and focus. once you have these two centers in focus, breathe in your throat and open. If it seems like too much, move your attention down a bit, between the throat and heart (some call this the high heart, I refer to it as the lungs). then, once rebalanced, you c an go back to the throat, keeping attention on the navel and eyebrow (third eye). with practice, this will enable you to feel the nuances that let you know how to balance, express, and release, without getting sick. once again, the sickness is fine. Its your body helping you by processing the vibrations on a denser level. its just nice to learn grace. much love Sun, 31 May 2009 14:16:00 GMT http://chakratribe.tribe.net/thread/90ef686f-c7b6-438f-93ad-cf0dbca3f7e8#5955c3f0-1456-4f47-ace2-73a868b69fad Daniel Kaiya 2009-05-31T14:16:00Z http://chakratribe.tribe.net/thread/90ef686f-c7b6-438f-93ad-cf0dbca3f7e8#4de101b2-151c-4692-812b-b6caefe56dc8 My stomach feels fine. There were a few days when it was a little crampy, but nothing big. Breathing is fine, but occasionally I get a little stitch in the side pain when I take in a deep breath. Not on a regular basis, just occasionally. My cold is passing and the more I read up on the throat chakra, the more I am finding that it could be related. It's really fascinating!

That doesn't mean you have to just put up with it. there are many ways to settle into a new balance gracefully.

I'd say you are on the right track. Look for supplements to cleanse the respiratory system, drink fluids, and rest a lot.

I've been doing a lot of Chakra work lately, mostly with toning and singing. I feel like this may be the most powerful way for me to personally work with my own chakras, especially since I believe I have a long history of having an unbalanced throat chakra. Yesterday after I finally let out my feelings to a friend that has bugged me for 2 years (yes I kept my mouth shut for that long), I started to develop a full on head cold. I'm home blowing my nose constantly and I can't help but think it might be related to the work I'm doing. I read briefly in a book that when the throat chakra is being worked on, all the negative stuff can come out in the form of a cold. Any thoughts on this? Also--my left wrist is killing me. It could literally just be a physical problem because I have been practicing the Mandolin like crazy lately.
