Massive Energy Influx & Wave of Emotion

I have been practicing Qigong for about four years. More recently, I was introduced to Bruce’s energy arts programs, and they are absolutely superb. What a gift Bruce has given to us all!

I would like to describe an experience that I had while doing my Qigong practice. I had been practicing Qigong for about a year, and already feeling strong movement of my energy during practice.

One evening in a move where you raise your hands up to the sky it felt like all of my energy channels opened everywhere in my body all at once. Associated with this was what seemed to be a massive flow of energy into my body through my hands. The flow was so strong that my whole body started to shake or quiver in reaction to the flow. This was followed by a very strong wave of emotion where it seemed as if I were “seeing” or experiencing all of the suffering in the world. Tears began to flow from my eyes. I had to disconnect, because it was too much to bear.

I am guessing that this experience indicated that my practice had opened up and released strong emotions within me. But, the emotions did not seem to be identifiable to anything specific to me. Rather, it seemed that a door had opened to reveal the suffering all around me. There has been no recurrence of anything like this since. I would like very much to hear your thoughts, comments, and any similar experiences. Thanks.
