Previously, I felt that the energy channels, which I believe are called Ida and Pingala, were gradually opening up in the upper and lower parts of the front of both cheeks. However, regarding the energy channels on the outside of the cheeks, the left side was relatively well open, while the right side did not seem to be fully open. This time, I noticed the difference between the left and right sides. During meditation, I first focused my awareness on the right side of my torso and consciously connected the energy channel that was not connected, from the right side of my abdomen to the outside of my right cheek.

Initially, I noticed a difference in sensation on the right side of the torso compared to the left, and when I tried to extend it upwards, the energy flow stopped, and that area was blocked only on the right side. By gradually increasing my awareness, I first connected the energy flow to the area around the collarbone, and then through the outside of the right cheek to the area around the eyes. This significantly changed my awareness, and the energy throughout my body increased. This time, I tried to connect the energy flow from the bottom up, but this was just a coincidence, and it probably could have been connected from the top down as well.

At this point, the energy flow was connected from top to bottom, which improved the flow of energy, but there wasn't much change in the right arm yet. From here, I further opened the energy pathways, similarly from the outside of the right cheek to the collarbone, and not only in the torso but also to the right arm. This resulted in a sensation of numbness in the right arm, and I felt enveloped by a stronger energy than before. The area around the right elbow and the right hand felt warm. Previously, I had to concentrate to feel this much energy, but now, even without much concentration, a steady flow of energy filled my right arm.

Recently, the energy (from the universe?) entering through the ajna chakra in my forehead and flowing through the vishuddha chakra to the chest and abdomen has been dominant. This energy flows to the abdomen and then to the right arm, which is why I have been weak in my right arm, and my right shoulder, in particular, has been the area that is most easily affected. However, recently, my right arm has been filling with energy through the energy I take in from the ajna chakra. This time, by connecting the energy pathway from the outside of the right cheek to the collarbone and then to the right arm, the energy flows more directly to the right arm.

Even without this, I have been feeling a stronger sense of being filled with energy recently, but this feels more stable. It's hard to convey what it's like to say that the energy is getting stronger, but there are different types of energy, such as the strong, heat-generating energy that appeared when Ida and Pingala first opened, and the energy of creation, destruction, and maintenance. This time, the energy is filled with a relatively cosmic energy that enters through the ajna chakra. Previously, this energy from the ajna chakra flowed to the arm through the abdomen, but this time, it flows directly to the right arm through the outside of the right cheek and the collarbone. It seems that the energy pathway on the left side has already been open, and it may have been open from the beginning, but I may have been weak in my right arm, so that area may have been blocked. Even so, there are multiple pathways, so it wasn't a major problem. However, recently, I have been trying to balance the energy, and as the energy increases, it seems that fine adjustments like these become important. The balance between the left and right sides is particularly important, and the fact that only the right side was not connected was a significant difference.

And, on the left side, the basic principle was that energy was already flowing. However, by consciously focusing on the left side again, and especially by carefully guiding the energy along the route from the left side of the neck to the left shoulder, the left arm also became filled with energy again.

Once the energy is filled, it seems to become stable and energy flows smoothly. This is particularly noticeable when sleeping; when lying on one's back, you can clearly feel the energy flowing into the right hand and a tingling sensation. Comparing the left and right sides, it seems that the right arm is still unstable, and the fluctuations in energy are large. However, since energy is now flowing into areas that previously did not, even though some energy may have already been flowing there, it seems that the fluctuations are becoming larger due to the increased amount of energy being handled in that area.

The most noticeable changes are in the right elbow and right wrist, as energy changes are occurring throughout the right arm, but these areas are particularly prominent.
