Annoying tingling in the top of the head

[shtuzshtuz]

Hi,

I started experiencing a tingling in the top of my head a couple of weeks ago and I think I "broke" my crown chakra.
I've been engaged in a self-driven project for the last 2 years, and my position has been the driver/the visionary, whereas others responded to my with their time and resources.
I've had a meeting a couple of weeks ago where someone "brought me down to earth" because either my intentions were not clear to them, or I didn't update them enough so they were surprised. To be specific, I came in describing the vision/project status as usual, they asked "what are you doing", and I literally couldn't tell which month it was - I am on a different dimension.

Unfortunately, that meeting messed up my crown chakra, so now instead of the visionary it's more of a social thing - I feel more subordinated now. When I do try to envision, my brain starts tingling at the top of my head. It also spread out a bit to the entire body so I walk around with a feeling of "meh".

I went to my primary care doctor, and all the tests including blood work and vitamins are fine. I have no issues in general. 40yo white male.
If I am not engaging the brain, for example, watching a movie, there is no tingling. I used to be an extrovert but after spiritual awakening I am now super introvert trying to maximize my control over my life.

I found "Anything can be healed" in a store and found a page (see below) mentioning the crown cakra is related to father/authority issues and eastern vs western spirituality.

Two points: The other guy is a father figure (73yo) and an authority in his industry, which I am trying to get into. I am not big on father figures, never liked mine and it's pretty mutual, I believe. Also, my spiritual path has been only eastern (meditation, yoga, India) whereas the other guy is a Mormon, which is very very different - they relate to divinity very differently from the eastern people.

So, there it is.

1st big question: Does this resonate with anyone? Any healers ? Has anybody else experienced this?
2nd big question: How do I move past this assuming I need to keep working on this project and working with him? Should I just keep plowing away and see what happens? Right now, even the thought of sending an email is causing tingling.

Is the problem somewhere else? loneliness? I have no friends or social connections btw.

Help please,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

It was me answering you in the Facebook private message and yes, as you have noticed, this message board is pretty dormant, it looks like people are more in social networks and no more interacting here as it was some time ago. They come and read the old messages, and that´s the way it is for now.

And as you wrote, your experience with your father is not something you recognize as harmonious. That´s what needs to be healed. It´s about to let yourself be nourished by the love of your father, and let go of the expression of his love. Because if you don´t love his expression, you reject it and and you close the crown chakra, feeling like in a shell, with a sense of isolation and therefore attracting experiences related to your closed crown chakra, like with the mormon guy.

There is here a post about authority, father and crown chakra if you have not yet read it. See if it can match with your experience.

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for the reference to the post about authority.
I found this "In terms of authority, it begins with your relationship with your father. That becomes the model for your relationship with authority (teachers, police, bosses - anyone in a position to tell you what you must do). What is considered a healthy relationship with authority is understanding that what they want for you is what you want for yourself, and they are there to help you achieve it and protect your interests."

It it interesting, in hind sight, to view someone in authority is actually looking to help. Very interesting.

Hi Jonathan,

an article I wrote for one of our newsletters, where I gathered some answers given in this message board.

The second schock point in our consciousness:

In our classes, we speak about the two schock points, as Gurdjieff was describing them, in the evolutiom of human consiousness. The first one is between the solar plexus chakra and the heart chakra. The second one is at the level of the crown chakra, and is about solving the apparent paradox between your own autonomy/authority and the outer authority.

In the traditional family, the father is the authority - the one who establishes direction - although in some families the mother plays the role of the father. The crown chakra is about the person's relationship with their father. That becomes the model for the person's relationship with authority, and that becomes the model for the person's relationship with God.

If a person is experiencing a sense of separation from their father, what happens next depends on what decisions the person makes - one might become rebellious, one might miss the connection with the father, one might insist on shutting out the father, one might feel they are not loved, or not deserving of love, or experience extreme isolation...

When someone has made a decision that has closed their crown chakra, their beliefs create their reality, and they will continue to see evidence that their decision is justified. When they make a different decision, different truths will become evident to them.

The person can decide to let in the father's love, it is one way to open the crown chakra.

Opening the crown chakra is about releasing the tensions in your consciousness concerning your relationship with father / authority / God.

Western culture teaches about an extrinsic God, an authority outside yourself - a man, sitting on a cloud and telling you what to do. In the Eastern traditions, they are taught about an intrinsic God, the God within.

Sometimes someone is born into a Western tradition with an essentially Eastern orientation. They choose to come into the world in a family that they respond to with a closed crown chakra in order to develop a belief in themselves, and to develop a cosmology based on the God within. Once that cosmology is established, the person can again open their crown chakra and end their state of alone-ness.

About the relation with authority, within any society there is an authority that is understood to function in accord with the interests of that society, whether it is a classroom, a city, or a country. Society makes rules, laws, that are intended to be in the best interests of the members of that society.

When the relationship is proper, the authority rules by serving, and it is clear that their role is to maintain and serve the interests of the individual. When the crown chakra is closed, that may not be apparent. If the person then experiences symptoms of a closed chakra, they need, as a practical matter, to make a different decision.

In our society, the police are the authority, and the government is the authority. In a school, the teachers and administrators are the authority. These authorities should always serve the individual interests, and when they do not do that, the individuals have a right to say and do something about it.

It´s also to be aligned with the authority. You do not decide to drive the wrong way down a one-way street as an exercise of your freedom, nor do you challenge the wisdom of making it a one-way street as an exercise of your freedom to challenge authority, or recognizing that speed limits on the highway are there to protect everyone - including you - and that to consciously choose to do something different represents a threat to yourself and others.

In other occasions, you don´t do what all the others do, you are following your own higher authority, and see whether it works for you or not. You do what you feel, knowing that organic processes are encouraged. Non-organic process (or malignant processes) are discouraged.

Organic process are those that support life. Malignant processes are those that threaten life. Here we are talking about the life of the society, and doing what is best for the society.

It's not really about what you do, but rather how you do it, and for what purpose. If you do it in a way that serves the society, it will be encouraged. If you do it in a way that threatens the society, it will be discouraged.
