I doubt I'm even 50 pages through it, but I am shocked at the results of time have spent understanding the concepts of energy.
Even though I had my doubts, I tried out the first exercise of "clearing my energies." It was really just a long meditation where you are supposed to close your eyes and see with your minds eye, these 7 energy centers in your body called Chakras, each with it's own coordinating color.
So, I went through the motions after have read a few pages over and over again. I lit a certain color candle, particular incense and so on. I then sat there and relaxed with my eyes closed. I tried really hard to see these colors the text swore I'd see if I tried hard enough.
After what seemed liked an eternity, but was probably only 5 minutes in all reality, I did "see" these colors they talked about. I have to admit, I know I sound completely nuts at this point, but this experience was very real for me, plus this guy has a book, so I'm sort of just assuming that this could at least be possible.
The colors seemed dark to me at first, so I followed the instructions and imagined that I had roots from my feet, growing deep into the Earth. And, I was to envision that from these roots, came a bright light of energy that grew up into my body, cleaning each energy center and filling it with a new, pure energy.
Sounds cooky right? I swear, I thought so too. But, I worked through each color of the rainbow, from my sacrum, to the top of my head, and have felt completely different since.
I have meditated in the same way since, as well as worked through other parts of the book. All-in-all, I feel more focused and driven at work, I have slept better and I feel very in control of events going on around me.
I am the farthest thing from a lifecoach, but, I do recommend this "spiritual colonics," as I've come to call it, for anyone wanting to open more possibilities for themselves.
I have continued to employee the follow up techniques of reminding myself of these "roots" I now have running from my legs and through the Earth. I have noticed that I stand taller, walk with more confidence and just feel better at the end of the day. As hokey as it may seem, I am good with the results, so I'm going to keep it up.
Note on the pic: The tree in this picture stands in my backyard. The vines that have embedded themselves into the branches, remind me daily to practice my new-found skill of "grounding."
