the hands (or in the next video--eyes) blooming are perfect examples of how multidimensional perception can feel.

My answer is similar. It feels like an egg cracked over my head continuously.:lol: Or perhaps pancake batter would work better.

I'm not sure how to talk about it's form.

My God... it's full of stars!

I just wanted to add my argument against the whole stalk analogy. While there is much truth in the idea of an upward raising consciousness, it might be worth considering that there isn't really anything to be left behind, except perhaps egoic fears and conditioning.

Just as kundalini is an upward movement of energy, the same type of movement can be experienced downward through the crown. In fact, it is this downward flow that activates the crown chakra in my experience. Perhaps it is the heart, which is at the center, which is the "top". This is where I work to "center" my consciousness.

The thymus and surrounding area, goes beyond mere "spinal cord/nervous system" status. Not that the others don't, but the heart seems to be the negotiator, or balancer between the upper realm and the lower realm.

And finally, we are not our brain. If there is any conscious awareness to be found, it could either be said that it's ALL in the mind, or that NONE of it is. The brain contains the over-mind, projecting it's reality through the body, or, the physical brain is simply a tool. Either one will work, and in either case, the crown is not THE flower.

So, it's worth thinking about I think. The way I get my crown open, is by centering my focus in the heart, and balancing the emotion I bring up, with the emotion I bring down. The crown just kinda opens on it's own. There are different systems, but I personally would recommend that the mediator be able to feel well grounded, and be able to bring energy up to the heart, in a relaxed fashion, before adding in the downward flow.

I'm not saying this is the only way, or that it's anything more than a framework for ultimately finding freedom, but it seems to be the paradigm that has evolved through my experience.

Curious what you guys/girls think.

yeah.

Chia -

(18) MUDDY PILL is located in the center of the crown (Bai Hui or the hundredth meeting point). When
it is open it feel like soft mud. This crown point connects the Big Dipper to the Hypothalamus Gland. It is
through this center, which functions as a two-way street, that you can project your energy (soul or spirit)
upward or receive the energy flowing downward.


(21) IMMORTAL REALM is located in the center just in front of the crown point. It is here that our
energy is able to make a connection with the heavens to draw down even more powerful Universal
Energies’.
