13 7 Nights in Hell

Since I decided to go through with this process, naturally I had to make some preparations beforehand. First, I partially secluded myself in the library so that I had a reason to escape from any strenuous activities. I told I was gathering intel for my 2-year stay. Then I got a room prepared near the library and had a servant send my meals there. After this absolutely forbid anyone from disturbing me, especially my mother. I set 3 hours for practice after dinner.

On the first night, I got an essence-stone that is basically the crystallized form of pure qi. I broke it open and quickly pressed it against my tailbone. A significant amount of qi pored into the first chakra. A rumbling vibration started as if an ancient snake-beast had awoken and began to loudly but imperceptibly hiss. The first chakra, the Muladhara chakra grounds us to the mortal world and deals with the sense of security and belief. It is the easiest chakra to open and is blocked by fear. The process began and one-by-one fearsome hallucinations began to attack my mind. The events of Alexsei's life like where he almost died due to parachute failure, the events after he contracted cancer and many deep-seated fears that even I wasn't aware of began to flash in my mind. I forcefully endured. It is not easy to completely remove fear from A living creature's mind as it is part of our instincts and can save our life by releasing the body full potential at times of emergency to outperform our personal limits. But in order to do so, one has to accept fear as a form of strength and not let it overpower and freeze our body After the three hours long practise session, I flopped on the bed and quickly drifted away. I spent the next 6 hours in an illusionary hell in my dreams where I was tied to a pole and repeatedly torn apart by monsters countless times. I experienced death countless times, sharpening the blades of my weapon known as fear. When I woke up, I found my sensing ability and spatial awareness rose a thousandfold. I also felt my balance increase and a sense of euphoric high hit me all of a sudden. After a long duration of adrenaline release, my blood adrenal levels reached an almost fatal level. To cancel it a huge amount of endorphins flowed into my blood producing the greatest high I or Aleksei ever experienced in our lives.

On the second night, the ancient snake beast-like energy that I awakened earlier crawled up my spine a little and settled near the next chakra. The second chakra, known as Swadhisthana, is related to the sexual organs -- the drive to procreate, or the desire for pleasure originates here. This chakra is active but in many people it is out of balance, causing obsessions with sex or the opposite dynamic -- fear, frigidity, condemnation of the body or of life. This area is believed to be the seat of all desires, and the storehouse of the collective unconscious, holding all the darker energies in the deep subconscious. To counter this one must free their mind from guilt. This does not mean that one has to become shameless. It means to have a firm grip of one's definition of morality and never be held back by accidents or mistakes. The act of forgiving -- others or oneself, plays an important role in maintaining this chakra. After practice, I quickly fell asleep after which I found myself in another type of hell -- a hell of abuse. I felt myself losing control of my body as I faced against multitudes of women, some acquaintances, some unknown, some devilishly attractive while some adorably gentle. My sight was bright and confused, similar to when one takes a psychedelic drug. Before I knew what was happening, I was forcefully ravaging these beauties, hurting them. Some screeched in pain while others looked at me with horror while some moaned in joy. Their horror and helplessness seemed to fuel some sort of wild beast in my body as my consciousness seemed to get farther and farther away. Only with a herculean amount of willpower was I able to slay that beast and convince myself that all of this only an illusion. When I woke up, an excess of endorphin an oxytocin flowed in my veins, causing me to feel as if my body was made of cotton -- extremely light. I also found the changes in my skin, it became more elastic and had a bright glow to it.
