I have read totally contrary accounts of the benefits of chakra opening. One sage from India
doubts that it may bring much material gain, and then there are the American New Age books implying that
Chakra Balancing will bring great fruits of material success.
After the great
excitement of opening my Throat Chakra, and my earliest mystical adventures, I wonder if I will ever escape
my present unhappy state, locked in a Financial Disaster in Hong Kong and unable to travel out of here.
It
does seems to be sort of a Religious Test to experience money problems in such a mercenary city. And
why worry if anyone reads my books, or hears my cries, when the whole world awaits us on the Internet?

I
had been doing Buddhist chanting taught to me by my Japanese Buddhist group in Montreal when the first chakra
miracle occurred.
I was also taking yoga classes at a
Swami Sivananda centre in Outremont, which explained to me how this miracle happened to me, and why I connect at this site,
Buddhist and yoga teaching.
I was sleeping
in my small and pretty apartment on Rue Aylmer, in a large bedroom, with an exposed brick wall, and my altar
at one end. I woke up around 3 in the morning, excited by a colourful and symbolic dream.
In
the dream I was riding on a large giraffe, and beside me, my best friend Chard Chenier, who was riding
on a large lion. Both the jungle animals had glorious white mouths, full of healthy teeth, that did
not look too unfriendly.
In the far distance was the Montreal dancer, Margie Gillis,
dancing, and also with her own small giraffe. She too was a Montreal artist, and a friend of my friend
Chard.
I lay awake thinking of these dreams, when a powerful
whirring sensation began twirling and circulating rapidly in my throat. It was at the front of the
throat, in the centre.
It was not a pain, a twitch, or any thing that could
be called a sensation and trivialized. The best image I can think of for chakras opening.....the
wings of helicopters, whirring, as they quickly rise above the earth, for take off into the heavenly skies.
Nine
days later, while hunting around the apartment for money to go out for coffee at a nearby hotel on Rue Parc,
the energies from my throat moved down into my heart chakra, where they have remained until to this day...
