You're very welcome.I'm glad to be of some help. Anyway, the reason I asked about your history in the study is because I was trying to make you realize that you may have "developed" something from your old system that might be the root of your problem. I'm not very familiar with the sylva method but if I remember the system correctly, it doesn't teach about proper breathing. It's very "mental" in proceedure. About chakra healing, who's method did you study? Did you skip any steps? One last, I'd suggest a research in the Kundalini.Pay particular attention to its connection to the human anatomy. You will see why breathing properly is NECESSARY. Just be careful not to do any of the practices about it that you will encounter - learn it just in theory for the mean time.
