I know what you mean about the mind coming in to second-guess and judge what we think is the right action. That's why I like putting some urgency into my action. I find if my speed is set right that my mind can't catch up to my inspiration long enough to slow me down. As you know I'm a big fan of heart centered mediations and visualizations and I’ve often energized my hands with the intention in my heart. You're right this feels very enlivening. What I haven't yet tried… is to send the energy back up from my limbs to my heart. This makes sense and I'll give it a go. Thank you! Tom Andrea,

I like the visual exercise you provide here, though, so I'm going to try it - probably tonight after I get my youngest to bed! :) Suzanne Andrea,

You could of course bring the energy flow into your entire chakra system. But I wouldn't target the third chakra specifically! The third chakra is the chakra of setting and achieving goals - it's a very "doing" chakra. When we are in inspired action, that's already a highly active energy center, so balancing the third by also focusing on the heart is important.

I see the point of bringing the energy from head down to heart -- it will help my head spinning too fast -- how about bringing it down further to the third chakra? I am just throwing the question because I heard this approach when I was learning Tao Yin (precursor of tai chi). Anyhow, thank you as always for sharing such wonderful ideas.
