People call it different things, ki, chi, qi, chakra, spirit force, bioelectricity, but I dont buy into things people tell me I only go with what I know. And I know that the body is a giant battery, flowing with electrical pulse. If you attach electrodes to the different part of the brain and electrify it you get a different sensation.

Fair enough, and I agree.

Nothing spiritual there, our nervous impulse does this when it is activated, and an 'artificial' source will have the identical effect. If you have good control over your body I do not doubt of the psychological possibilities.

Being a psychologist I will tell you the human mind and its power is far more fascinating than telling you 'spirit did it' and such but people will believe what they find best.

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...?

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.

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.

I have this same experience. I get tingling, often it turns into pressure so intense it's all I can focus on. It feels like a knife is being pushed into my forehead between my eyes... that kind of pressure without the pain. It's not always stagnant though. Sometimes it shifts around in a way that reminds me of the pressure I felt when my baby would turn and shift in my stomach. When its just a simple tingling sensation it's actually kind of pleasant. These sensations sometimes seem to "bleed" into my right eye.

It all started 10 years ago, when I was 20. I had a dream that was a "looping" dream, the only one I've ever experienced like it. That was so remarkable I'll take the time to explain it a little more. I fell asleep in my bed. Next I heard this loud buzzing sound & sat up in my bed, awakened by it. I opened my eyes and realized my entire house was glowing blue. I freaked out... then quickly sat up in my bed again and realized I'd now truly awoken. The blue light and the buzzing were gone, and the last time I sat up in bed I figured was a dream. I went back to sleep, and it happened again. A loud buzzing wakes me, and I sit up to see my room glowing blue. I went to call the police about the blue light and the sound. Then again I sat up in bed after waking abruptly, and the light and sound were gone.

The 3rd time this happened though, the buzzing sound was still in my house after I awoke. The blue light was gone but it still sounded like a million bees were swarming outside my windows. This initial event seemed to be some sort of springboard for other strange events, including the one leading to the pressure I frequently get in my head. I still often hear the buzzing sound when I go into buildings, ever since I had that looping dream. Most often I hear it in my own home. I know it's not a downed nearby power line or anything like that. It's a loud buzzing but the way I always hear it reminds me of putting a conch shell up to my ear.

Back to the tingling sensation... A few weeks after the "looping" dream I was heading to sleep in my room, where my 2 dogs are already asleep. I get comfortable and suddenly... and I mean out of absolute nowhere... I can see a huge ball of light hovering over me through my closed eyelids (you know how you can sense light even though your eyes are closed). I was too afraid to actually open my eyes, and just laid there motionless. Then it felt like the ball was trying to push itself into my body through some type of opening between my eyes. The ball now looked like a spider or octopus. It had a pulsating energy core with little arms of electricity issuing from it. Somehow I could see this form, even though it felt like it was sitting above my eyes now. I got the notion to just get up and run, but then decided to just lay there, figuring it would just come back again if I didn't let it do whatever it came to do. Not that I had any previous experience with errant energy balls, or any other paranormal thingamy-doo for that matter.

After laying motionless a few seconds, I felt the light ball shoot into the rest of my body through the forehead "opening". Immediately I realized I could no longer feel my back touching the floor, then my body started convulsing heavily. After a few seconds this stopped. I laid there a bit and then opened my eyes. I first looked around to see if my dogs had at all noticed what had happened. My larger dog was having convulsions (she never had before). The smaller dog was just laying there, asleep.

I've yet to come across a satisfactory explanation for these experiences. Not that I go around mentioning this to people willy-nilly. It does bothers me that it seemed to happen out of the blue. It's not like I was doing anything different than any other ordinary person when this happened. I wasn't even dieting.

The pressure in my head is really annoying when I'm trying to talk to people. It's hard to ignore sensations you feel in your face.

Oh, this thread brings back memories. Wondering about the same things. I understand all of the points of view.

When I was a kid, I figured out some of these points of view.

"Why does it feel less tingly in my head at this point when I know this is here?"

"How come there is no funny feeling in the spot where my friend poked me?"

I registered I could feel something , but did not know what to do or if it was important. Oh well, back to being a kid outside!
