Energy drawn via hands vs. feet

[andyvalery]

Hello

Robert Bruce says in Part 2, section 13 of Astral Dynamics that when you "join your arms into the energy flow... This increases overall energy flow as well as drawing in different types of energies...", what are these different types of energies and what makes them different?

Any links to literature on the theory behind this would also be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

I suspect Robert is talking about ambient energy vs. energy-body energy. He has said before that all energy is the same, but we can adapt it to what we need (it's in his book Energy Work) by transmuting it (like fire energy to water energy) but energy is essentially what it is- energy.

The best way to find out is to try it.

Thanks CF,

Are you saying ambient energy and energy-body energy is drawn through the hands and the feet respectively?
I get the impression that the nature of the energy drawn through the hands is different to that drawn through the feet, but what do i know? I'm new to this. Sure enough energy is energy, but just as you said, there is 'ambient energy' and a different 'energy-body energy', so there are still different kinds of energies or at least differentiations of the one?


Tom,

I was inquiring more so on the nature of these energies and what makes them different depending on whether the hands or feet are used. As far as I can tell, they do indeed feel the same and cause the same sensations in both my hands and feet, as CF inferred.

No, the hands and feet are very sensitive to energy, but any part of your body can be an entry or exit point for energy. Traditionally the crown, hands and feet can be either entry or exit points for energy-flow direction, but it depends on which direction you take when you move it.

I get the impression that the nature of the energy drawn through the hands is different to that drawn through the feet, but what do i know? I'm new to this. Sure enough energy is energy, but just as you said, there is 'ambient energy' and a different 'energy-body energy', so there are still different kinds of energies or at least differentiations of the one?

I would say that energy is energy, but intention and movement program it to do different things.

Okay, thanks.

So, back to my original question regarding what Robert Bruce writes in Astral Dynamics at the top of page 160 under the sub-title Joining Arms into Full-Body Circuit: what is meant by "drawing in different types of energies through your hands" as opposed to the energy drawn through the feet?
I've read ahead and it doesn't seem there is a deeper explanation for this. Perhaps i should read Energy Work, but i was hoping i could get a simple, if not simplified answer to my question, or in the least, links to literature summarising this difference.

He is not comparing the hands to the feet, he is simply stating that making the arms part of the exercise increases its ability to take in energy through the hands.

I don't know that there is a deeper explanation for it, as the hands and feet are both portals for drawing energy in or directing it out. It depends on what you're doing.
For example, in grounding the feet drain energy to the earth, while in healing energy is drawn in from the feet and out the hands. So there is no fundamental difference, it's what you do with it.

In Energy Work I will quote to you what he says about the hands and feet:

Apart from breathing, the hands and feet are the main portals of subtle energy into your body. Imagine these as being like the vital roots and leaves of the tree. Energy cannot be raised or projected effectively until the hands and feet become sensitized and conditioned to a higher flow of subtle energy.

- Energy Work, -chapter on Running Energy, p. 39.

I found more references, both by Robert in the website and in different posts:

It's not going to simplify anything, it will however give you more information to decide what the answer is.

Here, Robert says:

The energy body also exchanges and draws energies into itself through the hands, from a variety of different sources. Rather than over-complicating matters here, it is best to think of these energies as being simply atmospheric subtle energies. Atmospheric energies have different qualities from the more earthly energies which flow into the feet and legs. The hands, like the feet, contain heavy concentrations of energy exchange ports in the palms and undersides of fingers.

Forum post about all these themes, types of energy and what the ports do:

Thanks CF, and thanks for the links.
I understand what you were getting at now and how i misinterpreted RB's statement.

cheers.
