Re: My thoughts
Hi Lapis,
I agree with what you said, that is why the point of my post was to follow your intuition and not your ego.
I do believe that opening the third eye is something that should be done under the guidance of a guru, weather physical or in spirit, or the inner self as guru, but if one is following one's intuition then none of this is an issue, as intuition will always guide a person the "right" way.
I am aware that my opinions on chakra exercises don't sit well with a few of you here, and that is ok.
I feel that it is all very well to say some people can drop acid and have a bad trip and others can have a good trip, this is true, but some of those who have had a bad trip have never come back, or never been the same. There are things in this relative universe that are potentially more dangerous than others on a basic physical level and I feel playing with the chakras the way teenagers might play with a Ouija board is not wise. Not that I am suggesting many would do this, but it is possible that some would be tempted by the idea of increasing psychic powers and intelligence etc.
Having said all of that, those exercises may not induce a full opening of the chakra and may not therefore be any harm to 99% of people.
BTW, I LOVE the Conversations With God books too!! They are wonderful! :D
Peace
