When channeling energy through your hands, be sure not to force too
much energy through at once, or you will overload your chakras. It is
very possible to overtax your your system and become burnt out. This
occurs after prolonged or intense energy work. This ranges from mild to
severe. Mild burnout consists of tingling sensations that no longer
feel pleasant. This is very simular to having a pinched nerve. Severe
cases consists of numbness of area, loss of motor skills and control,
shooting pains that run along the chakra points in the afflicted area.
Know your limits, and what your able to do. Because if you become burnt
out, you will need to stop practicing until you recover fully before
you can proceed. Mild conditions last a full 24 hours, while severe
cases last for many days if not weeks. If you continue to practice even
while in burnout, you will close off the chakra points in that area
fully. This is like getting a short circut in your house or
electronics. So best if to avoid burnout altogether.
