I have been meditating for a while now and can feel strong energy in meditation. In my sleep sometimes something very powerful shoots up from my lower belly region and different things happen its really painful sometimes. is this dangerous 'chi' what am I to do? I don't have any training.


When you sit zazen, bring your awareness down to your lower abdomen, then you can feel some kind of fullness in your tanden (lower abdomen). This energy revives your whole being. Please stay with the practice and slowly let this energy develop into more quiet energy, which is always present.
