Hello Rawn and friends :-)¨ First let me introduce myself. I'm from Czech republic and about five years ago I realized that there is more than this physical world and I started to read, learn and meditate. I found early that there is one universal "religion" which is a key to understanding every other specific religion or teaching. I had seen books by F. Bardon in the shops for a long time, but I got to them just about one year ago. For a long time I thought that magic is something bad and too dangerous and I thought yoga or other eastern systems are much straighter and safer. Well, now I'm finding myself interested much more in exploring the infinite universe and in aligning myself with Divine Providence than in escaping from suffering or dissolving in Nirvana. Maybe it is only my misunderstanding of the aims of buddhism or yoga, however now I think that Hermetism is more complex mainly due to its concern in the creation as well as in emptiness or akasha. It is simply complex system and philosophy as I can see now. Now to my problem. Last year I have found myself very tightened and full of many fears, which have often been associated with the conflict between how I want to look like before people and how I feel or want to act. I just cannot put aside the habit of controlling myself even if I wish to let it flow. Therefore I often feel big presure, even pain on my solar plexus and I find it quite negative. I think that this can be the result of my working with energy which I realy love. But sometimes it is too strong and I find myself unable to handle such amount of energy. Of course it is possible to go out and do some physical work as running, but I think tehre could be some exercise that can help to use this energy in more efficient way. I'm trying to open nadis and chakras, but I feel it is often too violent and I don't want to harm myself. If you could share your experiences, I would be very grateful. Thank you and good luck in practice JCH
