As I mentioned before, the feeling of the aura filling up to Sahasrara and then slightly receding is similar to the feeling of blockage when passing through the throat chakra, Vishuddha. In reality, this type of blockage and the subsequent stable stage of further ascent have also occurred in other areas, such as between the Manipura (solar plexus) in the abdomen and the Anahata (heart) in the chest, but the throat chakra, Vishuddha, is the one that most clearly feels like it is being held back.
Before passing through Vishuddha, the aura is filled in the heart, but it doesn't easily pass through the throat chakra, or if it does, it only rises temporarily, creating a feeling of blockage in the throat.
At that time, I tried things like rotating the aura to temporarily raise it, or using yogic breathing techniques called pranayama to raise the aura to the crown of the head.
The feeling is that the aura does rise with these "techniques," but relying on techniques makes it unstable. Rather, I feel that by gradually filling the aura, it steadily rises to higher levels.
Trying to get quick results by relying on techniques is fine from a short-term or temporary perspective, or even from the perspective of practice, but from a long-term and stable perspective, it is better to gradually fill the aura and let it rise.
When I read books, I see yogis who are trying to raise Kundalini or the energies of Ida and Pingala from the Muladhara chakra to Sahasrara using techniques. I am very impressed by how grand and elaborate, and how incredibly delicate and difficult it is, like trying to thread a needle. However, I think that trying to jump multiple levels at once from the current level, resulting in a "temporary" rise in the aura's level or vibration, is often unstable and difficult as a technique. I also wonder if failing in such attempts might lead to Kundalini syndrome, but I think that gradually raising it is more stable and, above all, safer.
If there is a blockage, I think it is better to gradually resolve the imbalances in the aura that exist before the blockage, rather than trying to overcome it by using techniques to raise the vibration level.
For example, if we are talking about a blockage in the throat chakra (Vishuddha), it involves resolving the blockage in the throat itself, and also addressing any areas where the aura is not reaching in the lower levels of vibration (below Vishuddha). It's important to first solidify those areas. And it's sufficient to advance one level at a time, without being swayed by what others are saying. The key is to establish a solid foundation first. Once a stable foundation is established, then you can move to the next level. So, for example, there are talks about using the Ajna chakra (the third eye between the eyebrows) for remote viewing, or transcending the Sahasrara chakra (the crown chakra) to see the universe, and various things are said about it. However, if you are not at that level yet, it's best not to worry too much about it.
In my case, I have reached the Sahasrara chakra to some extent, but it is not fully open, and it is not completely stable. This is similar to the pattern I experienced with the Vishuddha chakra.
Now, when I meditate, on some days, my aura quickly reaches the Sahasrara chakra. Sometimes it takes only 5 seconds, and sometimes it takes 5 minutes, or even 1 hour when I'm not feeling well, for my aura to reach the Sahasrara chakra. However, my aura is not always fully filled to the Sahasrara chakra. I believe that it is only when my aura is constantly filled to the Sahasrara chakra that I can move to the next level of vibration. It is not yet complete.
There may be a misunderstanding in this explanation, but when a certain level is complete, it means that the door to the next level has opened. Until the next level opens to some extent, the previous level cannot be completely complete. It can be said that the Sahasrara chakra becomes complete when the Sahasrara chakra is complete and the next level of vibration opens, but that is not entirely accurate. The Sahasrara chakra becomes complete when the next level of vibration opens.
This may also be a misleading expression, but "complete" does not mean 100% in the true sense, but even then, there may be occasional blockages. However, the state where the aura is almost constantly filled (in the area of the level you have just surpassed) is when the next level opens.
For example, when the Vishuddha chakra is blocked, there is a state where pressure is applied from below to the Vishuddha chakra. The aura fills the area below the Vishuddha chakra, and some of it extends upwards, but it is still blocked in the Vishuddha chakra. When the blockage in the Vishuddha chakra is resolved, the aura flows upwards, especially into the lower half of the head. It is only then that the Vishuddha chakra becomes almost completely stable. This state means that the area below the Vishuddha chakra is stable. The Vishuddha chakra itself has just opened and is not yet very stable, but it tends to become stable relatively quickly.
In this way, it starts with the aura not being filled up to the blockage, and then gradually, the aura becomes filled up to the blockage, and then the blockage is resolved, and the aura flows into the next vibrational level, going through these stages.
