Hi helz_belz,
You might want to read up on the chakras and energy systems within the body. Ailish
started a thread that incudes an exercise about the sixth chakra and makes reference to a book you might find interesting.
Don't discard the feeling, it is an opening, and when you merge the two together (heart chakra and third eye)
you might say- a door opens.
The higher senses are those of vibrations. These vibrations are key to experiencing beyond our time space paradigm -- most important is the realization that certain sounds are actually Light.
Dealing with vibration, sound and light are what enable us to experience altered states consciously. To listen very carefully and to surrender within the being as you meditate. It is also the act of surrender, of letting go that brings you into higher states of consciousness.
Sound works to enhance human vibration. It is brought through the body and all of the peripheral nerves and felt within every part of the being. Vibrational sound sets off a value that is felt within the body. Peripheral nerves feel this vibration.
Many ancient cultures worked intensively with internal sound, color and light; these are what raise the level of consciousness. They used a bell similar to the Tibetan bell, a very pleasurable sound. It is the ringing of these bells that enable the balancing of the right and left hemisphere of the brain which in turn brings consciousness to the center enabling the individual to enter into altered states.
