Crazy Lightning Bolt of DOOM!

[Shaman of Bliss]

Hello again everyone it's your friendly Pagan boy Shaman Of Bliss returning for another interesting installment. This one is about a meditation session the other night...

...so a couple of nights ago I was lying in bed, meditating perfectly still. After quite some time I was at the tingly or numb stage and was happily thinking about energy. Then I got to thinking about how I would love to draw some energy from the nature around me. So I thought of all the trees and plants a few feet away from me outside my house. I thought of little wisps of white light sweeping from them and into my room. From there the light entered my chest, and was being spread through my body. OK so nothing to major there right? Well just about a minute into this I felt something...something big. It was like I got hit by a mini-lightning bolt in the chest, the shock coursed through my body to all my limps and scared the crud out of me. I just layed in bed and silently moved my lips saying...whoa...

SO...anyone have any theories?

Real lightning or visualized, you have to ground yourself to stay safe It seems to me that you didn't do that. Careful!

[Shaman of Bliss]

right I should have said that. Ok it wasn't like a saw it, but I felt this huge shock start from my chest and ripple through my body.

[Sobek]

sounds alot like you visualised the coming of the energy but forgot to absorb it.

or

too much too soon.

[Eretik]

Too much too soon. When you do this type of thing try to keep a 'draw' stone to hand. I like quartzes or agates, but not clear quartz! If you get swamped again, touch the stone and draw off the excess energy, it 's like having a battery. What would you do with the residual energy?

[Shaman of Bliss]

Well when I was "drawing" I didn't feel the energy move, possibly my fault. So perhaps in the future ill try to "battery" idea.

[Eretik]

It's very handy to keep some 'Shaman' stones about you when working like this. I use Haematite and my red jasper a lot, I find the quartzes and agates good for storing, carnelian can be used this way too. I like your sense of humour young Shaman, it's one of the best things you can have. Sometimes it makes all the difference, life is funny and insane, it helps to laugh. Cool title - crazy lightning bolt of doom.
