Likewise, I'd love to know also.

I've created another thread as I really thought that what was being discussed wasn't getting enough attention and I thought that it was due to the thread title. Forgive me and lock/delete this if I did the wrong thing. Origional thread here: http://thetaobums.com/topic/19702-unbearable-bliss-as-a-result-of-bouncing-my-legs/page-2 This was my post, slightly altered; "Amazing. OP's post is the only thing on the web that describes exactly (or even remotely) what has changed my life. Ths post is why I joined the forum. Two years ago what is described here spontaneously happened to me for the first time while jump-roping. Started out as an uncomfortable itch at my feet and inner thighs then shot up through my perennium and into the rest of my body. Fucking uncomfortable and extremely terrifying experience for the first time. In my minds eye it was a continuous reverse lightening strike inside my body, if that makes sense. Distinctly white. My immediate thoughts and feelings were that I had been here before, it was like coming home. I wondered where the hell it had been all this time."Hello old friend". Wait, I hadn't had this experience before. Right? Absolutely unbearable and it would not stop, I didn't want it to though. I found this thread and began doing as umezuke said and using my legs as a primer and it never failed to start it up. I can now trigger it with awareness alone. No way I would have ever believed in any hocus-pocus garbage before that event. I am not close minded, I am rational. Sceptical of everything, always. I wondered after a month or so if I was going mad, so I conducted an experiment with two friends. I sat them down and asked them to bounce their legs.You can probably imagine how they looked at me. It was 41 minutes in before one of them activated it. A little over an hour later and the other only felt the itch. They now looked at me a little differently. From studying literature on energetics I can trace the lightening (what I've been caling it) and compare the fingers of it to different meridians. More importantly I can feel the dantiens and other energy centres. They contain much more energy than the meridians and are growing in power all the time, especially in my stomach. If I do not activate it for some time, the strength of the energy seems to drop considerably. I've experimented and deep breathing, reverse breathing, triangle breathing, locking the breath and holding and where I place my awareness all have different effects. Different stances and postures do too. I feel no stress anymore. Everything seems to fall into place. Quite sure I can see energy as well. This is madness. I am not satisfied with this thread. Are there any experts who can tell what this is? How should it be developed further and how can it be used? For the non-experts, I encourage you to bounce the shit out of your legs. This works." Now, yes, it is blissful but I do not think it should be primarily labelled as such because it may give the wrong idea. It is simply raw power. It is as if you become an energy generator of some kind. What I read about in most books is a subtle kind of energy, an energy that you know might be there and may be felt but is not very prominent or pronounced. Something that if you're fixated on you can almost just make it happen, imaginary energy perhaps? Almost interpretive. What I am talking about is the complete opposite. You cannot imagine, try to feel it and make it surface. It is not subtle. It is something that would make you exclaim something like "what the ***king ***k is happening to me?! I know with 100% certainty that this is exactly what he was talking about!" Raw power. Anyone would recognise it for what it was immediately. I am definately no expert and have never been taught formally. Also, no, I am not selling anything. I simply stumbled upon this some time ago under otherwise normal circumstances. I am looking for people who work with this strange force, know what I am talking about and can direct me further. I want to learn and I want to grow. Hopefully others will benefit from this as well. Thank you

Never dedicated to it long enough to see any results. Can you explain how exactly horse stance might help?

Haha, thanks Bluemind. Should be an interesting read.

Thanks guys, Anyone else?

Bump

Like I said, I am no expert. You seem to have how it began pretty figured out! Thanks How you describe the energetic experience you had sounds like it felt very similar indeed. Bet you'd activate it by bouncing your legs in no time at all. Give it a go maybe? Your advice about lifestyle is spot on and I think everyone should follow it. I never touch alcohol, cigarettes or any kind of drug. Never did understand those habits at all. I also follow a strict diet and exercise heavily every third day. I am a rather down to earth person and don't plan on preaching anything. Cannot help but cringe at anyone who cannot fit their head through the door. The energy sometimes sparks spontaneously but usually stays dormant unless I activate it. It is activated by either actively using awareness to locate it or by bouncing my legs hard whilst sitting on a computer chair, bed, whatever. Sometimes I will catch a tiny little itchy spec, like an ember I guess, anywhere on or in my body and focus on it. Once I focus on it, it more often then not spreads like wildfire throughout me. My skin also becomes very itchy afterward. I don't scratch though. How long it lasts always varies even when I try to keep it present. After it lighting for no reason it may stay for minutes up to hours or days. I've had it trouble me all night while trying to sleep a few times. When I do it on purpose it does not seem to stay as long. If I am using awareness alone it can stay for up to an hour or so then die down and stop, even when I try to maintain it. When bouncing my legs it does not stop until my legs stop. Like I said it is very palpable. I feel everything it does and everywhere it goes with pretty much perfect proprioception. Every energy center and every channel it travels through. It feels like it is moving but also feels still, hard to explain. Magnetic may be a very applicable term actually. My head and rest of body do flail about if I let them. I don't though, is this a mistake? The main areas, the strongest centers are definately the three dantiens. The heart area is especially powerful, that is until I put my attention elsewhere eg. lower dantien, then that seems to expand larger than the heart. So to answer one of your questions, yes, the energy centers expand very fast once I focus on them. Yes it is my entire body and there is no surging. The energy is just there. I would say definately yes to "enormously beyond belief powerful" but calm has little to do with it really. It is actually extremely hard to become calm and meditate while it is present. It can be done and I have done it though. It is very physical too, not just metaphysical. My eyes become sensitive to light for hours afterward. I don't usually do anything much, just watch so to speak. It has its own flow. Often it moves in a circular motion from my stomach to my perennium, tail bone, up my spine a little then back into my stomach. I breathe a bit different from time to time. Deep and even breaths with the stomach with no pause moves everything faster. Breathing in, holding and locking everything seems to slow everything and create a high potential that turns kinetic when the breath is released. I really have no idea what I'm doing. I need instruction. Thank you everyone for you comments thus far.

Thank you for the responses guys. I feel though that this isn't getting the attention that it deserves. Perhaps it is the title of the thread? I'll make a new one.

Hi guys, Not a whole lot to say, really. Only just beginning to dabble in this stuff. Talk soon

Thanks for the welcome
