At first, I wondered what it was, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous. A dense aura first envelops about one-third of my head, and part of it passes through the center of my head, through the Vishuddha chakra in my throat, and down as a line to the very center of my Anahata chakra, the heart center.
It is an incredibly strong force, but it first fills the center of the Anahata chakra, and along with that, the aura of various parts of my body, for example, the aura of my arms, seems to be somewhat enhanced. However, the area most affected is still the center of the Anahata chakra and the area around the crown of my head, where I feel a dense aura entering. I wonder what this is, but I suspect that it is the higher version of the divine consciousness that began about two years ago in the depths of my chest, or that what was only entering up to about half of it at that time is now gradually entering the remaining part.
In reality, it is generally a good idea to be careful when an aura enters, as there is a possibility that strange entities may enter, so it is necessary to carefully determine what it is. However, because the quality and direction of the aura are similar to before, I think it is not dangerous.
When it enters, I have been spoken to several times, and there has been a clear expression of "accept it" and "it's okay" in a firm voice. There is also a choice on my part, the physical me, but since it doesn't seem dangerous, I have decided to accept it. There have been consciousness entities that try to deceive me by saying the same things, but I ultimately judge based on the quality of the aura. Since it is the aura of the same divine consciousness, there is no sense of discomfort. Moreover, in the case of a different quality of aura, I cannot adapt, but I am gradually able to adapt. Here, "adaptation" basically means that if it is from the same group soul, I can adapt.
I suspect that it couldn't have entered everything at once because of the capacity limitations, so it entered what it could two years ago, and is gradually adapting over time. I have received such inspirations several times, but I was not certain, and I am not completely certain now, but I think it is probably something like that. That is a reasonable way to think, and I had a certain premonition of this at that time, but it is quite accurate.
Here, the expression simply says "aura," but it can also be something more. It's not that we've become accustomed to it; the quality of the aura is the same as it was two years ago. It's an energy of creation, destruction, and maintenance, and it's not wrong to call it "divine consciousness." The quality of this aura is like the three qualities of Atman in Vedanta: Sat, Chit, and Ananda. However, the feeling has become quite natural in the past two years, so we simply say "aura," even though it's essentially the same thing.
Even though it's the same, the "concentration" of this aura is much higher than the aura of divine consciousness from before. It feels more refined, more detailed, and more "packed."
This aura, which feels tightly packed, is forcibly entering from above the head with pressure and immense force, flowing along the body's axis, through the throat, and down to the heart chakra (Anahata).
Although we are becoming accustomed to the quality of this aura, it is much denser and more forceful than before. Also, it has not yet permeated the entire body; it's mainly located above the head and a part of it has reached the Anahata. So, I feel like there's still more to come.
...The next day.
From yesterday, a jelly-like aura (a strong light) has been pressing down from above the head, and a part of it has reached the center of the heart chakra (Anahata).
If you call it an aura, then it's an aura. But it's not quite a "light," although if it were a time when the word "aura" wasn't common, we might have called it a light. During meditation, there's just a feeling of a concentrated aura, and it's not visibly glowing. A strong light feels like a cloud or mist that is so dense that you can't see through it. It's strange to say that a cloud or mist is glowing, but that's actually what it feels like. It could be called a light, but it's also an aura, and because you can't see through it, it's not quite gray, but it's a luminous mist. Sometimes, it might seem almost black, but it's also glowing, so that description is also inadequate. It's an aura that's hard to describe. It feels like an aura, but it's also a consciousness. From that consciousness, I felt like I was being spoken to in a clear voice, saying, "It's okay," and "Trust me / Be at ease." After "It's okay," the voices seemed to overlap, and I felt like the recognitions were heard in order, but the voices, spreading like ripples, resonated with both "Trust me" and "Be at ease," overlapping like two ripples, and I felt it as a clear consciousness. That was a few days ago.
While feeling that, today, during meditation, I felt the same pressure on the upper half of my head as before, pushing down with an immense force. Just like yesterday, a thin, line-like aura was passing through the center of my body, through the throat chakra (Vishuddha), and reaching the heart chakra (Anahata). However, as I continued meditating, I noticed that, as with recent meditations, the more I meditated, the more my head relaxed, and the opening of the Sahasrara improved. So, as usual, my head started to loosen, and along with the sensation of the skull moving slightly, making a "tick-tick" sound around the back of my head, the flow of the aura improved.While the improvement in the flow of the aura is quite common, what was different this time was that, after the flow of the aura improved, almost immediately, unexpectedly, the aura that was connected from the head to the Anahata suddenly moved "downward" with a sudden force. It seemed to be forcefully twisting and widening the energy channel in the back of my head, which seemed to be the point where it was stuck, and then, after the energy channel in the back of my head became slightly clearer, the aura continued to move downward, forcefully opening the energy channel even further. It was as if jelly was moving through a narrow passage, smoothly flowing through the narrow part of the throat chakra (Vishuddha) and all the way down to the heart chakra (Anahata).
And, all the aura that was connected from the head to the Anahata was now contained, small and small, in a "small room" deep within the heart. And now, that small room is vibrating slightly. It's in a place slightly different from the heart, on the center of the body, but a little below the heart.
From a few days ago, I felt that there was a dense, jelly-like aura that seemed to have a will, and it was forcefully pushing downward with a strong force that I would even say was excessive, as if it was trying to enter. I felt that strong pressure (not physical) that made it feel like my head was about to droop. However, suddenly, I found a passage in the middle of my head, and it smoothly flowed through the throat and reached the Anahata, and it settled in. I was thinking that it might simply be pushing and spreading throughout the body, but unexpectedly, I never thought that it would end up being contained in this small room deep within the Anahata.
I was surprised by this, and I wondered what was happening. Now, there is no more of that pressure aura in the upper part of my head, and it is all contained in that small room deep within the chest. Although it is a very small space, it feels like everything is contained there. It's slightly buzzing there, but there is no particular discomfort, and it's not extremely pleasant, but rather ordinary. It's just that there is a collection of a unique pressure aura. For now.
This might be what is described in the Indian Upanishads, a sacred text, as the "inner chamber of the heart."
The sacred space of the heart is also called the heart's secret chamber, and it is a dimension of consciousness without time, where everything is possible "here and now." From "Into the Sacred Space of the Heart (P95)."
However, in my case, I still haven't experienced the state where "everything is possible."
According to the same book, there are also descriptions in the Chandogya Upanishad and Judaism.
The Atman sits within the lotus of the heart. Knowing this, and dedicating oneself to the Atman, the wise person enters this sacred realm every day. From "Upanishads (Japan Vedanta Association) P153."
In fact, the idea that the heart is a sacred space is quite common in spiritual, yoga, and Vedanta traditions, but it is often overlooked. Here, I have probably found what might be the "chamber of the heart."
This was the most intense experience the first time, but it didn't end there. When I meditate, the aura repeatedly descends as a large drop or a blob of jelly, reaching the heart in the same way. At first, the area around the throat was narrow, and the jelly would descend, becoming thin at that point, and then "drip" down. However, after about 10 times, the path quickly widened, and while the area around the throat was still somewhat narrow, the aura generally descended smoothly.However, the aura was never as intense or forceful as it was the first time it descended, and the subsequent auras, while still relatively thick, were not as strong.
Once the aura started descending smoothly, it would descend from the head to the heart every 5 to 10 seconds, and after repeating this many times, a similar, dense aura began to connect from the heart to the head, feeling like a thick line. In terms of density, the first aura seemed to be the densest, but as I repeated it many times, it seemed to gradually concentrate and become denser.
However, after a certain point, the aura no longer descended as intensely, and instead, a relatively calm and quiet aura, like air, began to descend. I wonder if this is because the aura that wanted to enter my body has now entered completely, and that's why it's calmed down. What do you think? The first aura had a sense of will, but the aura-like substance that has been entering since then feels a little different.
When the aura started descending smoothly, there were times when it would occasionally flow back up from the heart to the head, like a wave. However, this seemed to happen mostly at the beginning, and generally, the aura flows downwards. When I continue meditating, the aura starts flowing again from the head to the heart, and I feel like it's connecting the head and heart with a thick line of aura. At the same time, I gradually started to feel a light or aura radiating from the heart.
It seems that the intense feeling was only because the energy pathways were not open enough, and once the pathways are established to some extent, the sensation is not as strong, even though the energy is still flowing. It's as if the energy is still flowing, but the sensation is stronger when the pathway is narrow, and the sensation is less strong when the pathway is established and relatively wide. In other words, it's like getting used to it.
It seems that the content is similar to the "Prayer for Chakra Integration" described in "Lightbody Awakening." I have known about this prayer for some time, but I haven't been able to fully understand it, and I have mostly just read it without actually praying. However, when I read it now, the content is very similar to what seems to be the next direction based on my current situation. It could be said that, as the prayer states, my current state is the process of the heart chakra and other chakras merging. (I will see what actually happens from here.)
In the prayer, it says, "From the center of my heart, I draw in light." I wondered what that meant. However, if I interpret "light" as "aura," the meaning becomes much clearer. I had thought that the phrase "My heart begins to open, and I myself expand into a beautiful sphere of light" was just an affirmation, but I now understand that it is literally happening exactly as described. I feel that this is gradually progressing. This is not an imaginary thing, but something that is actually happening. I feel a strong sense of understanding about this.
In reality, it is difficult to distinguish, and I have often been in states that seem similar. However, this time feels the most likely. There may be other times in the future when I feel even more like this, but that is a separate matter.
In addition, although the wording and specific parts are different, there is a similarity to the story of Kobo Daishi, who, when he was in the cave at Muroto Cape, had a morning star enter his mouth. In my case, it entered through the Sahasrara chakra, and then, in my case, it descended from the Sahasrara chakra through the Vishuddha chakra in the throat to the Anahata chakra, which is somewhat consistent with Kobo Daishi's story of swallowing it through his mouth. Just because it is similar does not mean that I have gained superhuman abilities like Kobo Daishi, but the expression is similar.
