Energy Work

Hey all,

A question about Astral Dynamics I'm studying the book again and have a question about it. I can move energy throughout my body, but I don’t use Bruce’s tactile energy system. I move the energy simply by intent. I feel the energy first, then direct it to a location. However, in Bruce's system, a person needs to use either body awareness which means putting attention on that specific location in the body, or using awareness hands to create energy sensations.

For example, a person is supposed to brush their left hand with their physical right hand, and then repeat this sensation without actually touching the left hand. I think I can do that, but I find the sensations aren't as strong as when I do it physically. Which makes sense, but he writes that the person needs to recreate the sensation. So I always assumed it should feel the same. Also, when I do that exercise, I don’t feel energy. If I manipulate energy in my own way, I can feel chi, but with the tactile imaging techniques, I don’t sense chi energy. I do sense a sensation. But it’s not what I’m used to. Every time I pick up Bruce’s books, I encounter these obstacles in applying his techniques, but I’ve never really discussed it with anyone. I want to work with his system and his books, but I struggle to translate his methods into real results. I mean I can move energy my own way but I want to follow Bruce’s steps and method.
