I've been experimenting with the control and manipulation of energy, chi, or prana for the past couple of years. I learned about the chakras and energy manipulation this month two years ago. My story is a strange one. I'm not sure exactly what I can say happened.
I realized after learning how to push my energy to its limits that it affected the people around me whenever I meditated with them in the vicinity. Multiple times have I meditated in my own home, which is pretty spacious, and I always notice a direct correlation between the level I'm pushing my energy to, and the activities that are taking place. I have a younger brother and sister, both who are gifted with psychic sight and strong spiritual senses. If I'm meditating at my highest level they always start running around my house yelling and screaming, hyperactive as can be. They're both teens which is why its weird to me.
If I meditate with friends around, and keep my energy level low they twitch and shift uncomfortably. I've done reiki or the laying of hands on a few friends, and the response is always that they lose complete feeling in their bodies. They've even mentioned a strong heat which I know to be characteristic of this activity.
Now, I've also experimented with cannabis. This is where it gets interesting. When I mix meditation with smoking pot I can max out my energy at a level that blows my mind, and has quick physical consequences. I would guess that because I have a lack of inhibitions it allows me to experience a very clear state when I'm under its influence.
I've gone in public a few times high, and it completely weirds me out. Generally I'm like a shadow. People don't notice me usually. After I've smoked, and I start walking around, peoples' attention is attracted to me like bugs to light at night. I always meet the most interesting people, and experience the strangest things during these times.
To the energy part: In my last year of high school (I graduated spring of 2012) I had already developed a talent for manipulating my own energy, and shown an inclination for healing. On the day of a field trip I smoked with a few friends before school. I only had to go to my first 2 periods out of 7, so I didn't really mind being high.
I entered my first period at the peak of my high, and sat down in my desk. I waited about 15 minutes into the 50 minute period, and put my head down to meditate. I sat in the very front row, so I didn't want anybody asking me what I was doing. Just to see what would happen I focused on my power center, and shifted my energy level up. My first period was my psychology class, and my teacher was having a discussion with a few students while everyone else calmly chatted, as it was close to the end of the year. I wasn't expecting any kind of reaction like what happened. I pushed my energy to its known max, and all the while my class was getting louder and louder. People were literally yelling at each other in normal conversations.
Don't consider me ignorant of what I was experiencing. I'm aware when my physical senses are heightened by smoking. I've learned to control it. That's not what was happening.
I held my energy at its max for a few minutes, as my class shouted over each other. Even my teacher was yelling across the room at the people she was talking to. Usually she'd get angry and make everyone be quiet when the class was loud. She was a part of the chaos. I relaxed myself, and dropped my energy back down to its normal frequency. I opened my eyes as I was doing this, and noticed that I was the only person not going crazy. Go figure. Once my energy had subsided my class calmed down completely, many people looking around with confused looks on their faces. My teacher looked completely mesmerized. Many people looked like they had just snapped out of hypnosis.
On my field trip people were flocking to me that usually wouldn't. I was always with some group when normally I'd be alone walking in silence. The whole rest of the day went like this.
My thought is that the state of consciousness that I'm in while I meditate and when I'm high disrupts the frequency of other people who aren't as conscious and allows for small, but noticeable shifts in my reality. It still blows my mind to this day. I haven't meditated in a large group like that since though. I don't like to think that I could influence people on such a large scale. Comments?
Like you, I have meditated for quite some time, though I prefer, when raising my energy to high levels, active chi gong forms utilizing blue quintessence energy that empowers my chakras and gets my energy circulating to a very powerful point. I find blue energy to be the most healthy for the human body to use.
I have experienced these types of phenomena as well, but also have taken it much deeper. Just keep at it, you'll be amazed at the mesmerizing potential of the human soul.
