Facebook Posts on My Experiences With the Energy Body

August 4, 2025

In my energy body work, I have spent time visualizing currents running through channels that came down my face. My goal was to open those constricted channels. I was surprised when those channels ran down my body and met at the base of the lumbar spine. There are also channels of current that run down each arm and leg. I knew about that from my energy body work in my twenties, when I did bellows breathing 3-4 hours a day for a year. Interesting path to be on.

One way to understand energy flow in the body, think of a new house. Turn on water faucet, full flow. House 30 years old, turn on faucet, 50% flow. 60 year old house, 25%.

Various things constrict the energy flow in the body over time. Diet, lack of exercise, aging, dumping life force into negative thought patterns, just giving up.

Here is a map of my full body, front view.

8/11/2025 This post continues my series of my work with my energy body. I have mentioned I found I was on an 11 week cycle, with a high end that made energy work easy, eventually transitioning to a lower end of around a month that gradually left me visualizing energy currents while listening to monks and nuns performing spiritual chants. So, during that low end, I had spent time visualizing and mapping currents around my face and head. But when I transitioned to the high end of my cycle, instead of those face and head channels opening somewhat as I expected, I found channels, bands, and lines of energy opening restrictions in my back and trunk. Like I had had more restrictions develop as I grew older. This map is a reflection of the lines of energy I experienced.

The starting point of the line behind my ear was painful (blocked, constricted), which was new to me.

The most active manifestations were the vertical lines in my chest. I have felt that current flowing for two weeks, with also a concentration of energy around my heart. The other, still active lines of energy are from the top of my shoulders down about a foot. My body keeps trying to open the blocks (constrictions) on top of my shoulders. In the gym, my weakest muscle group is my shoulders, so it is interesting to experience the correlation.

I have only just started to feel the currents opening around and above my stomach.

All of this is an ongoing process. What is opening now will close again.

Why that happens I will post about soon, the connection between the energy body (fluid) and the mental landscape (patterns of thought).

I will also write soon about a process I call glowing, when the energy in a body part becomes fully stimulated by emotional experiences, like listening to a favorite song.

I had an interesting week. I mentioned that glowing experience in my trunk, legs, and arms. It moved up into my head for the first time, which conveyed some energy flow.

Then, as I was experiencing the two vertical bands going down my trunk, I felt some energy moving in the bands going across the top of my head. On a scale of 0-10, it was a 1, but I know my work is finally paying off.

Then, I also felt some movement in the band around the crown. That is the band I fully opened in my forties, when I experienced a Repo Man intense flow of creative energy. I believe the intensity of that band keeps folks on a downward focus on the body and the world. In paintings of Christian saints, the halo is symbolic of that band.

Still no movement on the center of the top of my head, but that will come.

The image I am posting gives an idea about the major bands and other lines of energy. Mostly still constricted.

I believe this intense band around the crown maintains a focus on the body. When this band is painted as a halo in paintings of Christian saints, it conveys that they have a heavenly communion, a focus not on their bodies. The focus on the body and worldly experiences feels natural, so it is easy to believe a person is isolated and does not have a connection to the wider universe.

In my 40s, I was doing therapy and as part of that, doing 12 steps groups, mostly al-anon. Small groups, so lots of quiet time. To pass time, I visualized a current running from my medulla to my spiritual eye and back. Five hours a week, for six months, I did this. Then one side of that band around the crown physically rolled and information and ideas started coming in from outside my self. Then, later, the other side rolled, and creative energy was blasting through my brain like a train. A Story is a Promise came from that. I would go into high moods and write things I did not understand when I came down. I was getting higher and higher. At night my room would be so brightly lit up with an iridescent light I could read by it. Eventually the flow of energy swept down my face and I felt more mentally balanced. So, yes, it powered my creativity.

In my first go around in my twenties learning about my energy body, I also learned about the connection to my mental landscape. Think of the mind as a body of thoughts that collectively appear as a cloud. Within the cloud are stars that are collections formed from the repetition of light and dark thoughts. Some of those form into constellations. Each star broadcasts a specific types of thought.

The fluid energy body is a reflection of those thoughts and patterns of thoughts. But the energy body also goes out and fuses into the flesh and muscles. So we hold memories and feelings in our body.

I once got to a place I could drain energy from a dark thought star. But only once. Another time, I could observe my subconscious thoughts rising into my conscious awareness.

Eventually I would like to be able to map the flow of energy in my brain.

When I was young and did bellows breathing 3-4 hours a day for a year, I discovered I was on an 11 week cycle. The cycle ended with a drop to a low where no amount of effort generated much of a response from my energy body. But the work I did, that seemed without reward, set the stage for what I could accomplish with the upswing of my cycle.

I’m currently dropping down in my cycle, and I’d been thinking about the five Prana Vayus, subtle energies that help maintain health, or it’s lack, if they are unbalanced. I’ve haven’t experienced them directly, but my hope was eventually I would. I recently decided instead to focus on developing an awareness of these currents.

They are Prana Vayu, chest and heart, associated with clear thinking. Apana Vayu, elimination, lower abdomen, pelvis. Samana Vayu, navel, digestion, assimilation. Udana Vayu, throat and head, expression, exhalation. Vyana Vayu, circulatory, whole body, coordination of all Vayus.

I’ve spent up to an hour a day visualizing these currents. The hardest for me to experience was Apana, a downward flow of energy. Just today I realized I could experience this as an upflow from the base of my spine up to my kidneys, then reverse that to create a downward flow.

So far I feel more balanced and relaxed. Typically at the end of my cycle I’m more out of sorts and restless.

When I was young and I listened to a song I loved, I’d feel waves of intense energy around my heart that would travel down my arms in waves. I didn’t find out until 22 the rest of the world didn’t experience life this way.

When I went through my year of bellows breathing, I would experience what I called ‘lighting up,’ a seeing of patterns of energy across my back or chest.

Later in life, again music or something emotional in a movie would cause the energy in my trunk to fully manifest. I thought of this as glowing. It was fairly common in my life.

Recently, with my energy body work, my focus was on the bands that run over the top of my head and down my chest and back, down my arms, and down my legs (the image I’ve posted). Now when I experienced glowing, it was full body, except for my head.

As I worked to open the restrictions in energy flow in the back and top of my head, glowing is now full body, going up into my head and face.

My goal is to use that to help open the restrictions around the crown of my head and the top of my head.

I’ll have to wait and see how that turns out.

I still wonder why others don’t go through life glowing.

Continuing my energy body updates... an old guy, I wake at night to relieve myself. I find myself in a state of not awake/not asleep, mind still. I've begun using that state to visualize healing to others. It occurred to me to put in a mention for myself.

When I finished my previous 11 week cycle, I ended with new movement in that super intense band around the crown and at the top of my head. I assumed with my next cycle starting at a place of heightened awareness in my energy body, I’d resume the focus on those areas.

Instead, the focus has been on my chest/heart and neck/throat, and more energy awareness around my spiritual eye.

In a way it was disappointing, but it was also a reminder of how when I did bellows breathing 3-4 hours a day for a year when young, I didn’t choose the body part that would become the focus of my next cycle.

I have continued to do healing prayers for others and myself while visualizing the vayus, prana currents that underlie good health.

My journey continues.
