Dillemas about the energy.....

[George.mkd86]

I read a lot about energy lately, a few Reiki books and stuff about physical and universal energy, books about chakras, and I realized what is the actual origin of some of the problems I face all the time, problems that often make me stay at home, avoid crowded places, and just starting to avoid close friends because for no obvious reason they make me feel bad and exhausted every time I'm around them. I now know that somehow I am unprotected and they drain my energy by just being in their vicinity. Most of the people I encounter during the day are frustrated depressed types and listening to their problems is probably just reinforcing the bad feelings in me. Every time I come back home in the evening I feel exhausted, drained and overtired even on the free days when I do nothing and just rest. I would like to know how to protect my aura, energy channels, chakras in any given moment and how to raise my energy that will refresh me, give me strength, peace of mind and help me enjoy my life more. Thank you. :/

You just asked a question that will take years to answer. First of all, you need to get rid of all illusions in your life. This is no small task and takes most people a lifetime, if not more. From your posts thus far, it seems that this will be quite a challenge for you because you appear to be quite fascinated with 'chakras' and 'newage ideas' - all of which, for all practical purposes, are distractions and, in that, illusions. It will benefit you enormously to become very familiar with the work of G.I. Gurdjieff in order to begin your journey toward impeccability - the ability to Be and not be drained by those around you. Remember, your life is a reflection of who you are, so, always and in everything, it comes back to you.

In short, there is no short answer, but there is a path to follow. Finish reading the Wave and then get serious about Gurdjieff and the path will become more clear. No one can do the work for you, but we're here to point out roadsigns for those with eyes to See.

If not currently practical, I recommend Éiriú Eolas, a system of breathing, meditation and healthy diet.

Little to add to what was said by Anart, only a couple of observations:

Do not obsess over the protection of any kind, in fact in the New Age there is a range of objects and rituals of protection in place to protect can harm the person performing it. Work on yourself-here's a great tool, and knowledge of the reality in which you live and who will give you protection, knowledge, and so on.

And secondly, I needed something for a person who really wants to work on himself, is calling into question the veracity of everything he believed about himself and about those things that support his faith. Question your sacred cows!

Maybe some physical activity (gym or outside) for the beginning could make you feel better and eager to work on your (inner)self. Sure was helping me for years before I was drifted here somehow

Thank you for that, that is the reason i joined the forum, obviously I have lots of thing messed up and unclear, and I guess I will continue asking silly questions for a while, hope you don't mind, but with proper answers I think I'll catch up with that train.

You got me there, I am lazy as a snail

I practice the Éiriú Eolas breathing exercises on a regular basis, but my lifestyle do not allow me to meditate as much long as it takes, and about the diet I think I'm fine with my current diet and I wouldn't be changing it for anything on this world.

Perhaps you might want to question your statement that you think you are fine with your current diet.

Forum threads like "Life without bread" might change your mind on that. If you consume grains, dairy or soy, if you are getting your energy from carbs instead of fat, if you eat a lot of vegetables, you are in for a surprise.

Whenever you think you are fine with something it might be a good idea to ask yourself how much effort you invested in finding objective information to support that thought.

Fwiw,

Could you give us more info about your diet ?

What do you eat, drink ?

What do you eat, drink ?

Natural vegetables and fruits raised in village, such as carrots, tomatoes, beetroot, peppers, onion, garlic, apples, pears, plums, peaches, all kinds of nuts and berries, grapes, cherries, sour cherries......

but I also regularly take different types of coffee, soda drinks, alcohol, pork, beef, lamb, chicken, cheese, fish, pasta, lots of baked stuff and all other tough foods. During summer I take most of the upper list, and during winter I mostly consume the things from the latter list. I said I wouldn't change my diet because I am so used to it, and I don't think I could live eating particular foods only.
I guess my diet is wrong, so why don't you go ahead and shoot me! :O

 

[anart]

One step at a time, George - it all fits together. No need to worry about getting shot over your diet, we're pacifists here. ;) When you get a chance, in all the reading you'll be doing, take some time to read the 'Life Without Bread' thread in the diet section, it has great information - turns out we really are what we eat.

 

[Chopper]

Ya reading your post here you fell into the right place

Youi seem to be young and in a hurry lol like Anart says you asked years wourth of questions ..

Your on the right track if your seirous reading the books you allready picked up ( as you mentioned in another thread) the G. I. Gurdjieff , Carlos Castaneda , and READ Laura's works ! it took me some time to find and figure out the works of Castaneda when it was released as fiction but reading it one knows it's much much more which lead to so much more discovery ..... But LAURA without "spoon feeding" ( well a little lol) She spells it out for the reader !!

And you can't beat that with a stick ! please do your research and read profusely Laura's work then digesting Gurdjieff's matreial will be readiley asorbed .

Plenty of your questions you asked will be in the material ;D

As Anart said :

Noone is going to shoot you. The diet as many other things is a learning processus and if you read all the info that we have on this forum about that, you will probably reconsider your diet and be willing to change it over the time if it is not a sacred cow.

Happy reading. ;)

Yep, Macedonia is famous for its delicious vegetables if anybody from ex Yu community is asked... We here in Dalmatia have the almost the same "diet" jet more oriented to sea fish and meat (vegetarians an vegans were always considered like a little bit nuts here....).

After carefully and thoroughly studying the above menu characteristics I concluded that is not a "diet" of any type. Seem that you do not restrain yourself of anything particular considering very nutrition

You will get the best tomatoes and watermelons raised in Strumica from next year, as Croatian company signed up for exporting agricultural products from Macedonia to Croatia and Europe. Very tasty and natural, you'll see. I would really like to taste one big adriatic octopus, but I'll take care of that next summer ;D
