Awakening the Sensations Between the Heart and Throat Chakras

Lan Tian said: I used to frequently suffer from oral ulcers, sometimes due to anxiety and internal heat, other times because my body was overheated. Since opening the Governor Vessel on my chest last year, I no longer have oral ulcers. Unblocking the heart chakra and throat chakra was particularly uncomfortable, feeling like a continuous stream of heat scorching my chest.

Shiruyuan: So the sensation of unblocking the heart chakra and throat chakra is a scorching feeling in the chest! Five or six months ago, whenever I entered meditation during sitting, my chest and neck would feel feverish, making me sweat profusely. Sometimes I felt stifling heat in my heart region, as if my whole body was burning. I didn't know what was happening. After a while, I noticed my body felt less tired and more supple, but since I didn't understand, I didn't pay much attention. Only after seeing Senior Brother Lan Tian's description tonight did I realize my experience is quite similar. I wonder if this means I've also unblocked my heart chakra and throat chakra?

Commentary: When the Governor Vessel in the body remains unblocked, obstruction occurs between the upper and lower regions. Heat cannot descend, water cannot rise, and the elements fail to harmonize, resulting in excessive heat in the area above the thoracic cavity. Additionally, as energy channels ascend, they force heat upward, causing fiery symptoms in the chest, throat, and head. These symptoms resolve once the energy channels pass through. Individual physical conditions vary, so the manifestations differ when energy channels pass through the seven chakras, but the process is invariably uncomfortable until completion. Regarding whether you've unblocked the heart and throat chakras, without specific details of your experience, it cannot be determined.
