You might have started out at an advanced stage. I'm curious if instructions around the jhanas makes sense to you, or another thing to check out would be kriya yoga and kundalini yoga, which are all about processing energy through your body.

I actually know very little! Just that they are all about energy flow and chakras and stuff, and then on the zen path you get into energy stuff around when you can attain first jhana ... but it's much less explicit than the yoga traditions.

The energy stuff deepens as you get further along the jhanas. During meditative practice to traverse the jhanas one of the things observed is the energy of the body. It is difficult to sense at first, but as awareness of outside recedes, the currents of force in the body appear

Eventually you get to control, as with all the disciplines of zen. Once you can sense the energies you can learn to control them, as a flow. Then you can use them to materialize change, in your body or the world. Awareness. Dispassion. Control. Of the energy field of the self.

This method applies to thoughts as well as body energy. The chakras are the energy anchors and epicenters of the organic electrical system that is a human mind-body. Meditative awareness exploration of these centers produces amazing clarity of energy dynamics in the body.

The goal of Buddhism, Zen, Meditation, whatever you want to call it..Buddha-level enlightenment...is this total aware control of ones own energies. It's just not written about like that. Everything is energy. Your thoughts and emotions. The structure of your physiology.

This, and the energy is not even one’s own — it is part of the spiritual fabric of the universe

I've been picturing it as a quantum possibility field of energy and conciousness, like the form of smoke tendrils in sunlight. Disembodied consciousnesses controlling energy flows. Exploring that will take time. It's working for me so far and has led to great insights.

let me encourage your explorations. your reality is real from the place you are centered. people are off balance now, but the energy, life force, whatever you want to call it, is real to me, beyond just hope, but actually spirit that guides me.
