I have been doing the NAP relaxation for maybe a week that I got off a pdf. (My actual book should be here any day now.) That has been fine. But yesterday I did the uncrossing ritual from NAP, the relaxation, The Middle Pillar (as described by Regardie), a shortened Bornless, since I don't have it all memorized yet and another uncrossing. I haven't done the Middle Pillar before yesterday. The sensation was similar to some taijiquan and qigong that I have done, but today I feel prickly all over. Not all at once. It seems to move around. It's not unpleasant. Actually I kind of like it, but it's more intense than the tingling feeling while doing the ritual as it feel like tiny needles. Is this normal? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
DS,
One explanation may be that, for lack of a better term, your "energetic metabolism" has to adjust. These rituals raise your energy and release counterproductive attachments. This allows you to take in more of what you do want. But your body is not so used to this particular frequency. Back in the early 1990s, when I started doing GD daily rituals, I had already been practicing some Vietnamese style iron palm techniques that involved chi gong. So I know what it feels like to go from that kind of internal work to this. If these feelings start to interfere with your daily life, I would scale back to just doing the uncrossing ritual (or why not just do the LBRP or the Star Ruby?) in the morning for a while until you get used to it. Don't set out to memorize it. Just do it until you have it memorized automatically. Then you should have adequately balanced yourself. There is no hurry. Enjoy it, observe your own process, journal about it.
Best,
Mxs
