If you're a young guy, do something that will warm up your hips, shoulder
girdle and thorax and after you start feeling flexible do some cambre
exercises - e.g., bridge, &c. Eventually you'll feel a crack in your sternum
and there will be a great release of energy. As you age your sternum will
calcify if you don't use it as such so will your tail bone
Make sure you're sufficiently warmed up first otherwise you can strain your
lumbar region or sacro-iliac joint
If you're in a seasonal environment it comes on with warmer weather. I just
get on my knees (on a padded exercise mat) and from an abs crunch I go
forward and upright on my knees pressing my pelvis forward from my hips,
pointing my feet to not fall forward and go into a back bend with my arms en
haut pressing into my sternum from my back while I stretch it 1/2 down with
my abs the other back with my shoulder girdle. The sternum is where the
blockage is. When it cracks it feels like a bicycle tire puncture, you can
almost hear the release of energy. If you experience the crack and make it
happen it means you're in good shape. Once you do it it's easy to repeat,
but you have to keep doing it or as you get older you'll lose it

Quoted message said:(But I know in qigong probably the throat chakra is described
as a nexus of meridians or something?)In the last few days I have again had a fairly steady hot
spot in and just above the v-notch at the top of my breastbone,
so at the base of my throat (though I thought the throat
chakra was slightly higher than that, a little closer
to the adam's apple). This has occurred before but not
in a while, and it isn't partularly troublesome but sometimes
I pull down my t-shirt to free/open/cool it (but haven't
gone to a v-neck shirt).So anyway I was just wondering if it might be a sign
of anything, or what might be causing it or whether
I should perhaps do any yoga chakra meditation,
pranayama or qigong exercises, none of which I
have been doing for a while.I am hoping that this throat hot spot might be
an early sign of a waning crescent high which I
hope might start at summer solstice last quarter.
However in the previous five such highs I don't
remember such a hot spot, the only noticeable
warning sign of one was an unusual chill especially
leg chill the week before the (last) Aug/Sept 1994 one.
But for more discussion of such highs and related
clear sky lightning and solar flares and lunar
and sunspot cycle patterns see my web page
http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html .On it I also mention things such as my experience
of shaktipat, thorn acupuncture awakening of hands
and feet, mystic spark effects, kundalini effects
(the shaktipat, powerful just to the side of third eye
warming during pranayama, shower of sparks out
the back top of my head during chakra meditation),
powerful tingling/cooling/warming/throbbing of
fingers and hands at times, which I thought was
related to geomagnetic activity but now am not sure,
and lots more.I'd write some more but have to run off home now,
but anyway I am mainly interested in the throat
hot spot, though I would also like to learn of
any past eastern figures who had cycles like
mine (so far I have a fair bit of evidence for
celtic pagan figures but less for others). But
for example the Buddha had seven years of ascetic
years, like my low years which I hope will end
Saturday [at 7 years and 5 lunar months], and
battled Mara [like a waxing gibbous moon trial
with release at full moon], and encountered the
Naga water serpent [blue clear sky lightning]. Also
Krishna is describe as the butter thief [so waning
butter, or waning crescent moon] and is said to
have battled demons [so again waxing gibbous moon
trial with release/resurrection at full moon]. I
also relate the blue lotus/blue Krishna to my blue
rose vision. But I do relate myself more to celtic
pagan figures such as Taliesin, Finn (Fionn),
Amergin, Cu Chulainn and Myrddin so far.
