I want to start off the story about late 2011. I read some information online about the pineal gland and chakras and I ended up opening up mine by closing my eyes and trying to force energy from my body towards my forehead. I don't know how but I was actually successful at this and felt a strong tingling sensation in my forehead. A day after that it was almost as if everything around me was new to me. I could hear sounds that where a but farther away then usual, siting in a chair felt weird because I could feel the chair touching me which I could sense even more know. Usually hen you sit in a chair you don't even really notice it under you but my sense of feeling was so strong that it was as if I never sat in a chair a day of my life. If someone came and tapped me on the shoulder it would cause me to turn around extremely quick because my sense of feeling things was way beyond what it used to be, before this particular point. This caused great anxiety in my life and me wanting to know what exactly was happening and if I was just imagining things. I also would go through many emotions very quickly.
A few weeks later at about one o'clock AM some where around November 26 I believe, my heart started pounding really fast and I couldn't sleep. I went to the hospital and they found nothing wrong with me. Later that week my heart started beating fast again and I went back to the hospital and they found nothing wrong again. Eventually I had a heart sonogram I believe and a few test done but all came back with no problems. This is something that happens, to me to this day and all I can do or just I try my best to ignore it and take a few deep breaths.
Another thing I noticed shortly after I had the first episode with my heart racing was some severe headaches. This lead me to go to a dentist since I was going to get braces anyway at this point. The dentist I went too told me that it may be a problem with my jaw because he tested it and due to me hearing a click, he says it might be something known as TMJ. Another weird thing that was going on with my head was this weird crawling sensation and it is something I don't get anymore but it was so intense that I felt something might have been crawling around in my head. I also had these weird vision changes at this time as well, where I noticed my vision would get blurry. I also seemed to have this strange cold I could never get over, to this day. I also used to and sometimes still do get this weird vibrating feeling that rushes through my body when I am trying to go to sleep. Almost as if I was going to rise out of the bed and into some kind of whirl pool. This feeling would cause me to jump out of my sleep and sometimes get no sleep at all some nights.
This caused me to do some more research and the pineal gland and things of that nature and I found this site: http://www.in5d.com/spiritual-awakening-quiz.html
It caused me to believe that I may be going through a personal ascension and being spiritually awakened.
At this point in my life with all of this happening and it causing my anxiety to raise, It made me feel as though I was so close to death and even made me contemplate suicide. It inadvertently caused me to really learn to enjoy life and to not take anything for granted because I feared my life could have been done with. But I tried to remain positive and after awhile I realized that everything would be okay and that I was not going to die as the symptoms started to go away or I got more used to them.
What gets even weirder is recently found out spiritual sense or sixth senses kind of run in my family. This part of the story takes place last year when my aunts husband passed away, and shortly after his funeral their were times where I would feel a weird pressure and pulling sensation in my head. I asked my aunt about this once and she told me she felt it too and it was her husband visiting and how our family is has certain abilities that some of us are born with. Shortly after this conversation I found out both my little cousin who is about six, and a uncle of mine have the ability to see spirits. My mom from ever since I could remember would have dreams that actually came true. I also found out that not only my family is African American but we also have some native Caribbean Indian of some kind in my ancestry, on both sides.
Although I'm not sure what to make all of this, I am at a point where I feel a bit better though and can tolerate most of these things a bit more. I still get the heart palpitations, headaches, blurry vision, as well as constant tingling sensations in the middle of my forehead. But I also get some new sensations, which are sometimes like a feeling of having a knot in my chest. I also see these weird things at the side of my vision and when I look at them they tend to move, I see these things usually at night. I even at times sense sometimes other presences in a room with me, although I can not see them. I even see what appears to be weird circular balls of energy (Not sure if I am describing this well but they appear to be energy balls).
I also am at a point where I am trying to analyse myself a bit more and am trying to find my true purpose in life. I am sure I'm supposed to do something special and always felt that way, even when I was a child. But never actually could figure out what that is. People around me also have told me that I have tons of potential.
All of this uncertainty as to which path to choose lead me to check out this psychic lady who does business not too far away from my college. I spoke too her during my tarot card reading and she told me a few things that really hit close to home. She told me that this year was going to be a good year for me and that I would find out a lot about myself. She also told me that I had a terrible year last year and that was correct as well, among many other things. While I was speaking to her I felt a feeling in my forehead and a knot in my heart at the same time. I can even go into greater detail about what she said, but I would rather do it later in this discussion or else this very long post will get even longer.
So what can some of you make of this? Do you think I'm crazy or can you relate?
It's likely something they all agreed upon.
In the same respect, a clairsentient doesn't see purple, and a clairvoyent doesn't feel purple... If that makes sense...
As with anything spiritual in nature, I've found the best approach is to start with the basics... Then let it evolve into your own style.
If you find yourself forcing yourself to conform to another person's ideas, and if it seems like it's holding you back... Then it likely is.
There are as many chakras', charka points, and ways to meditate as there are energy vibrations that are beyond the visible spectrum of the human eye.
Find a style and visilization that works for you, and that let's your energy flow.
