Tingling Crown Chakra
Question
Hi Dhananjay,
I hope all is well. The cold showers that you advised seem to be helping a lot I have even more energy throughout the day and it helps curb lustful thoughts.
I have a question about an experience that has been happening lately. There appears to be a tingling sensation at the crown of my head, feels like static electricity. I experience this in meditation and randomly during the day at varying degrees of intensity. What does this mean?
Also I have been experiencing a ringing noise when meditating. But its not unpleasant its actually quite soothing could you also explain what this is?

Hello Michael :-)
How are things going...
Good to see you are benefiting by the use of cold showers. Cold water has the tendency to negate lustful heat in the body and enrich the body with positive cosmic energy.
Q1: Tingling sensation in the crown
A: The crown of the head represents the 'Sahasrara chakra' or the thousand petaled lotus. It is the highest and most divine chakra in the human body, and the seat of union of consciousness with the almighty. A tingling sensation here generally occurs to the aspirant during the initial stages of ascent of consciousness to higher planes. There is nothing to worry about. You should continue your practices. With time, things will stabilize and you will develop harmonization.
Q2: Ringing noise during meditation
A: A ringing noise during meditation is one among the various 'Anahata sounds' or the sounds coming under the purview of the fourth chakra at the heart region. There are various other sounds associated with this chakra such as the humming of a bee, the blowing of a conch, the tinkling sound of cymbals, the sound of thunder etc... Advent of these sounds again suggests the ascent of consciousness into higher planes in the metaphysical world. These are all gestures of encouragement given by god to the aspirant in the path of spiritual enlightenment.
At this stage, I would request you not give too much importance to them but concentrate on focusing your mind on the great lord during meditation. Make your mind intent on knowing the true form of god, and meditate without any expectations of fulfillment of material desires (a true aspirant need not worry regarding the fruition of desires, for the closer he gets to god, god takes care of fulfilling even the minutest of his desires) This will clear the path for further progress.
Wishing you the very best for further progress
God bless and have a nice day :-)
