Releasing Resistance

[IndigoGeminiWolf]

Is Buddhism about releasing resistance or blockages in the chakras?

I've done that for 10-15 years and have reached bliss at times. Even a state of the emptiness of everything. But not yet nirvana.

I do energy work so that I can just ask the Universe to put me in the vibration of what I desire. So if I desire enlightenment, I ask the Universe to help me hold that vibration.

I also desire to be a crystal for the Universe to radiate through.

Are these also compatible with Buddhism?

I've heard we pick what resonates with us to achieve enlightenment. Is releasing resistance and opening up the chakras up through crown enough to achieve Buddhahood? I'm also converting my body to Light metaphysically. It's a little painful sometimes. Things don't get to me like they used to. I see little improvement over time.

I just can't get past the lusting thing. It's been something I've not been able to shake. I haven't taken the Bodhisattva vows, but sometimes I like to try to live like one.

I wouldn't worry about lust. We are humans and having a loving relationship is normal and okay. If it is a whole lot of sexual stuff.. again don't worry about it. Over time it will naturally drop.

With regard to a light body. It isn't something you build it is a realization. Building a light body is more of an astral thing.

If it's astral, why do I have energy releases in the form of burps, farts and muscle spasms when I meditate?

Energy hitting internal gases causes burps and farts. Energy hitting obstructions causes involuntary body movement.

All normal stuff.
