Thank you, Shanti, for your thoughtful reply and advise. (To reiterate, I have not been practicing yoga for many yeats and am very new to all this.) In the last two days, the energy moving up the spine has been smoother. There have been six episodes. After one of these the crown chakra (?) opened - felt like a hole in the top of the head and this absolutely amazing energy was moving for about 1/2 hour. I have no words. Absolutely incredible experience. "Oh, my God," along with tears of joy!

There is a curvature in the spine. The energy slows at those points. I'm trying massaging the area and trying to move it thru mentally. The neck has been surgically repaired with screws, etc. That is where the energy sets for a longer period of time. I'm wondering if the movement of the energy is possibly straightening out the spine?

Does it seem that having five of these experiences in a day is excessive? I'm not doing much to bring these episodes on. They just happen. I'm feeling quite drained.

Another question: At one time a spot further back on the top of the head opened up all the way down to the chest. Energy was flowing all the way down the chest, accompanied with some muscle twitches. There was also something I can only describe as an electro-magnetic field around the head, and a change in consciousness. Then it moved up to the throat area and stayed for about 1/2 hour. Is there a name for this type of experience? I'd sure like to learn more about it.

I have not been practicing yoga for many years. However, in the last four months I have relived many traumatic memories from very early childhood. My guess is that the energy is here to help resolve that trauma.

I appreciate any guidance I can get. Thank you!
