Should mental powers be feared by the user? I've neverheard of this.

Yo gang,
I recently experienced what ican only say was a great deal of pressure within my head in one spot right between the eyes. It also felt as though a line or string was coming out of that spot and outside a few inches away from me. This happened when I tried to "feel" my mind. I accomplish this by being aware of my mind. The same way taht I am aware of my hand. When I had finished this excercise I found I was scared and hungry. So...What does everyone think?

hey, google the mind's eye. You will find good info.

I'd assume part of the reasoning behind being scared, and hungry is that you stimulated those parts of your brain.

What parts might those be called and what is their purpose?

My thoughts.

You may have felt scared and hungry because you completely freaked yourself out, while being concerned about the pressure build up and other odd sensation going on in your head your adrenaline most likely started ramping up pretty high.

When you came out of it, your adrenaline dropped...I know when I come down off a huge adrenaline rush I get very hungry.

And as mentioned before you were scared cuz you freaked yourself out.

I would like to say that while in search of the spiritual don't ignore the physical. If you feel pressure continue to build up in your head see your family doctor immediately.

No I wasn't joking.

As for the meta-physical here are some links that may be helpful:

You may also want to look into books about the above as well as chakra balancing, empowering and meditation excercises that can be used in conjunction with the chakras.

Also creative visualization is the key when working with chakras and meditation and magick in general so you may want to look into excercises that can help you with that.

On another spiritual note you could have jump started a kundalani experience which may or may not completley overload your system and by the way totally freak your crap.

A kundalani excersise is slow and methodical and is supposed to work its way up from the root chakras upward over time.

Though you can have a massive kundalani experience which feels more like a thunderbolt than a slow build up of focused energy.

Anyhoo, I would suggest books and talking with others over pure internet research. These types of topics lend themselves well to the printed page.

Just my two cents.
