Tingling sensation in the forehead?

I did not insinuate that it could not be scientifically explained, only that you were wrong in that it is only scientific.

If it is purely scientific then could you please explain to me how it is that I have affected others with it, have benefited from a continual practice of using it and there are results that are not scientifically explainable.

I apologize for attacking you as I did. Nothing personal I am just fed up with people taking position on subjects that they obviously have no experience in and touting their belief as gospel.

If you had the opportunity to experience a small fraction of what I have and had seen the results for yourself, you just might believe as I do, that science has not scratched the surface in regards to where life and consciousness begins and ends and therefore have no right to deny the experiences of others because it does not fit in to the theory.

Science says the psychological effect and sensation is a result of mental stimulation. I contend that it is merely a measurable result of spiritual activity and at that is just the beginning of a path that science can not even determine how to study, and therefore write it of since it does not fit.

So you have studies and an education that tell you its physical, I have a life that says its not. I don’t care how science refutes it, you wont convince me its not real and effective.

Fair enough, and I agree.



So I have two questions for you.

A) Why do people who work within systems that move these bio-electric energies through the body have profound spiritual experiences which they otherwise would not have?

B) Do you believe that meditating on these energy centers and moving them, despite their physiological nature, produces positive effects in many individuals with marked psychological improvements on their ability to cope with life, their outlook on life, their attitude, etc...?

No worries, its the internet intention is not usually clear and I can see why you may be frustrated, how you take what I say, but I mean no harm. I understand some people will hold things dearly and I do not mean to offend if I did. I have had 'spiritual' experiences and things that were overwhelmingly magnificent (love?) but I know they are merely feelings, having been cheated on, because with enough time you will feel the same for someone else, and realise it is not the individual but rather the feeling that you love. Kind of complicated.

I do not think science 'diminishes' importance, only your experience is what matters, if it had impact on you, no one saying it is nonsense or other will stop what you felt. It is just a means to understand.

So basically I mean, the experience you get is ineffable, the cause is simple. Thats what I think. (and believe me I have 'healed' people too but I do not think it is healing, just calming their mind and making feel good! The mind is powerful!)

You get whatever you want as well as a little of what your expectations are. Like they say, you CHOOSE to have a miserable day, or to make the best of a bad situation.
On top of that body chemicals are miraculous, they can give you the impression of being super strong, not feel pain, even dream like quality. Given my jobs I have got the opportunity to study PCP and other drugs and they are fascinating, these substances often give the same experience/ability meditation and 'spirituality' does. So it makes one think.


Of course! As I say you get what you put into it. If you expect a positive outcome it will be. If you convince yourself something will not work you have a good chance of failing.

I dont mind people teaching others techniques to focus/relax/create positive emotions. I just have the problem with people convincing others they have magic powers, and charging $700 for it!!

I can also do this, in fact I'm doing it right now. lol I've always wondered what it was, so it's interesting knowing this happens to others as well. I don't know if it has anything to do with the third eye, concentration, or whatever though.

dont let them... i mean, it manipulate you

i had this several times on my forehead as well.... it is an awesome feeling... positive light...i wish i could master it and open my third eye

I get this feeling constantly. It is usually always present in some form or another. It is also present whenever something is moving towards or away from my face. Its more of a buzzing neutral feeling, but its not a negative feeling, just an interesting tingling sensation.
