What do you feel energy as?

In all cases, the energy comes off as a definitely unsettling surge.

I only get it when Intend to as mentioned in previous post, when I pull in or push out too hard it gets extremely uncomfortable. More like an electric feeling, I can see why it’d be unsettling if it hit out of nowhere especially intensely.
that’s pretty cool though that atleast you got that area going intentionally or not, if you focus on that feeling you had in a relaxed state you can probably bring it back although may be way less intense at first, over time it will feel as strong as you had it before if you learn to pull in or push out the energy (this is in a relaxed state not using any physical muscles)
If you are interested in trying to bring it back and are able to see what other areas you can spread it to, then if you want you can look up what chakras correspond to the ones you can’t feel and try to activate them through rather actions words or thoughts, possibly with Mudras, mantras and focused intention. Or more physical and intention acts and more sincere words. I just recently got it to be a lot less subtle in the heart region and it still feels a bit foreign. Meditating for a long period had me feeling more individualized areas in the 3 main centers which was interesting, but hard to duplicate. Otherwise it’s like a mash of upper-middle head, neck/throat to heart and mid section to groin.
I hope that helps you or anyone trying.

I've recently had a new experience with receiving energies. This was after my typical ritual, but ended with some time dedicated to praising the sustaining energies that kept this life-giving environment going.

It was after experiencing that reverence that I felt my head untense, like it became a sponge with tiny holes relaxing open all over it. Then as though the holes were inhaling, I felt replenishing energy pour down into them. My unconscious labled the energy as a mid-toned blue, and likened it to the experience of receiving Mana.

The energy felt vitalizing, calming, and blissful. I felt like an empty, still bowl being filled with cold pure fresh Springwater. This went on for about 15 minutes.

Amazing experience! It’s interesting how many different ways there are that energy presents itself to people that are able to recognize it, from the extremely subtle to the more intense, it sounds like you were truly in the moment and were in complete sincerity and acceptance. Very tranquil indeed!
