centre, at the top of the head. When this happens, just let
yourself be pulled upwards, and enjoy being above the head for a
while. Then come back into the eye once the experience is over.
In the beginning it often happens that you do not recognize the
‘pull’ and that you unconsciously resist, forcibly maintaining
yourself between the eyebrows. Your very determination to
remain firm in the eye, an aspiration which is right,
unconsciously makes you resist the natural flow of energy. The
result is very simple: a headache.
What is to be done? The answer is obvious: change your focus for a
while. Move your awareness from between the eyebrows to above
the head. The excess of energy accumulated in your head will be
released upwards.
Here is a technique to help you achieve this result.
10.8 Controlling headaches
Close your eyes and become aware about 10 to 15 centimetres above
the top of the head. There is a centre of energy, a chakra, in this
area. It is not the crown chakra, it is the one above it. One of my
teachers called it ‘the centre of the hissing snake’, because a
hissing sound can be heard when one gets in touch with this
chakra.
So tune into the area 3 to 5 inches above the head and spend 1
minute being aware and listening. Remember, no imagination! It is
far better to remain just aware than to make up a sound.
Then maintain your awareness at the same height, about 15
centimetres above the top of the head, and at the same time utter
a continuous hissing sound: ‘sssssssss...’ for a minute or two (a
physical sound, not just a mental one). Do not only repeat ‘sss’, but
make a proper hissing, as if you were a big snake. Put all of
yourself into the sound, while remaining aware above the head.
Then remain above the head and repeat the sound silently inside
yourself for 2 or 3 minutes.
At this stage, in many cases you will be pleasantly surprised to
realize that your headache has disappeared.
The more you master this technique, the more you will be able to
release undesirable energies upwards, above the head.
Tips
- A bit of Tiger Balm on the forehead often works very well for
headaches related to energy, especially if applied at the onset.
