Not Tao:
I've been working directly with emotions lately and I've had a lot of interesting chakra activity. I think the energy you talk about might be suppressed emotions because I've found that if I can't let go of it, it's always been because I don't know what caused the feeling. You can move it around all you like, but it's stuck until you feel through it and find the underlying cause. Something that helped me was, if the feeling presented in just one area, like the head or the chest, I'd try to feel it in the head, chest, and stomach at the same time. This tends to convert it from a pressure back into the emotion and then you can use that to brainstorm what you might be holding on to. For me, once I figure out why the feeling is there, it fizzles out because you can allow the thought and stop pushing it away.
Thanks - i think you are right. As i mentioned not living in a stable place at the moment and have been trying to balance ethics/compassion and in sum didnt speak perhaps as i should have.
Have been using the technique you mentioned and coverting the feeling back in to energy and playing with it, very powerful. thank you.
