Greetings,
Lately, I have started to get this blissful sensation around the Ajna and Crown Chakras. The sensations are linked to my breathing and become intense when I inhale. The feeling is very much physical (I think). I could just close my eyes, sit down and enjoy .. which I resist doing to avoid overload.
Based on the general feedback from the forums, I have tried to keep myself detached from the scenery - but this one is addictive :)
Any pointers or guidance will be much appreciated.

| I would say to enjoy it and let it go as well. Just do the practice and if it feels yummy then enjoy the yummy until it changes to something new |

- implying one doesn't expect the "new" to be always yummy; simply do, without expectation, enjoy the ups and downs.
When trying to deal with strong sensations (in nature, theater, music, etc.), I find the AYP mudras and bandhas as helpful as in sex. They help me to keep the wave of emotional energy circulating, instead of me getting "lost" in it.
Has anybody else in the forums noticed a similar effect? |

Hi Rishi,
If you haven't done so already, then read through lesson 199:
http://www.aypsite.org/199.html
The basic rule about scenery is that you are free to enjoy it outside of practice times if you wish. The blissful sensations at the crown could be an exception to this rule though if you are not yet stable there, so check the lesson first.
All the best,
Christi |

I apologize for the late response.
First of all thanks for the pointers.
Victor, Hatha, Yes I agree the point is to go beyond like and dislike :)
Christi, thanks for the pointers. I read the crown article again and could relate to a lot of it in a different light. I am not sure whether I have a premature crown opening ... Though my crown activity started pretty early in my practice. It has not been concerning or troubling.
So it is what it is I guess :)
Rishi
