Hi All
For past couple weeks, during the deep meditation and samyana, I feel some intense pleasurable force between the center of each palm. I keep my hands interlocked (like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:L...Mahasaya.jpg)
It feels really good, kind of the hands are kissing each other. I don't know what is going on energy wise but if someone can provide some explanation it would be awesome!

Hi zero,
It is the chakras in your hands activating. There are two energy channels that run from your heart down each arm and end at the centres of your palms. When they activate they may feel hot, or tingly, or as if there is a magnetic connection between them.
It is the basis for laying-on-hands as a healing method.

Hi Christi
Thanks for the explanation. So does it mean that the energy is going from one palm and into another palm and back to the heart like a circuit?

Hi zero,
Not really. There are circuits which happen in the body such as the microcosmic orbit going up the spine and down the front of the body, and the flow of prana out of the open crown and back into the body. But the connection between the hands and the connection with the heart is more of an activation and energization rather than a circular flow.

Yes. In fact, Yogani has described hand mudras as a way of "closing the circuit", which I have verified many times over. I use a variety of hand mudras to regulate the flow of prana. The hands have microcosmic pressure points that are linked not only to the spine/chakras, but also the organs and front channels.
Yogani also recommends doing a gentle self-massage, in which you rub your hands all over your body in a systematic way that directs all energy to the heart. I do this often, and it works well, in conjuction with the various hand mudras. The melting of the heart is necessary for the outpouring of divine love to occur, and the heartspace is truly the center of enlightenment. It is where the raw force of the root chakra meets the sublime transcendence of the crown chakra. 4 is the middle number of 7.
The palms, being the center of the hands, are directly linked to the heart, being the center of the chakras.
Ecstatic conductivity and the flow of stillness cross all boundaries, dissolve all obstructions, and know no limits.
Godspeed. |

Hi Bodhi,
Yes, a "circuit" is made in that sense- in the sense of a connection, or loop of energy. But not in the sense that zero was describing it, coming out of one hand, in to the other and up to the heart. A left-to-right, or right-to-left flow does not happen.
But a circuit is made more like an AC ring-mains loop where prana is not flowing one way or another, but is still energized and active. And you can still get an electric shock from it.

I can only speak from experience, and my experience is that energy can flow between the palms (not only in the mudra that Zero referenced, but also when the palms aren't even physically touching--lots of Qigong utilizes that palm-to-palm flow by making a ball shape. I can do it very easily).
Also, the energy can go left-to-right, or right-to-left, or just remain statically active (as you say). I can feel all three scenarios happening, and I can direct it whichever way I want with the spinal nerve and command from the third eye. So, I don't need to read any books or confirm it from an outside source--I can just observe it on a subtle visual plane, not to mention the feeling of the flow.
Maybe it doesn't happen for you, or maybe you read a book giving you a certain diagram of the energetics, but my direct experience says otherwise.
Kundalini has a life of her own, but we are able to influence and shape the flow. If that weren't the case, why would Yogani advocate Spinal Breathing Pranayama?

Hi Bodhi,
Yes, certainly if you begin to use your conciousness to direct the flow of the prana then you could cause it to flow in one direction or the other. I would agree with you there from my experience.
