For several days, I have been focusing on moving and loosening the "prana" (energy, aura) from the forehead to the back of the head (in the sense of yoga). Initially, there was a large "cartilage-like" obstruction, but after a few days, the major obstacles in that direction have disappeared, and I have been focusing more on loosening the finer details and the areas around the route. While there is still some stiffness in the forehead, the skull at the top of the head, the area around the nose, and the back of the head are the same. However, I am particularly concerned about the upper and lower parts of the back of the head. As a next step, I decided to focus on loosening the back of the head by moving the prana up and down through it.

The back of the head is considered very important in some spiritual teachings and among some indigenous peoples, with sayings like "nothing will begin unless you reach the back of the head." In my case, I feel like I am somewhat reaching it, but it doesn't feel like it is flowing properly.

Currently, the prana that I take in from the forehead passes through the back of the head, then the throat, and into the body, and this route is much easier to navigate compared to a week ago. I feel that the changes in this area have been very significant over the past week. Of course, the area from the forehead to the back of the head is important, but also the part that passes through the inside of the back of the head and enters the throat. This part used to be quite narrow and prone to blockage, and when it was blocked, my consciousness would become hazy, and sometimes my eyes would twitch, my expression would become stiff, and even my eyes would become bloodshot. At that time, I would meditate for a long time to try to clear that blockage. However, this time, it feels like that easily blocked area has further expanded, and energy is flowing more easily. "Energy" may be difficult to understand, but essentially, it refers to "consciousness." Whether "consciousness" is clear or hazy is directly related to this blockage. While prana (energy) and consciousness are technically separate things, in this area, they feel like they are the same.

And this time, by allowing the prana taken in from the forehead to pass through the back of the head, this area has opened up considerably. To further open it, I am focusing on moving the prana up and down through the back of the head, and loosening the areas connected to the back of the head to improve the flow of energy (prana).

I think this is making me stronger against sudden mental shocks in my daily life. Previously, even a slight negative influence would cause a blockage in my throat, which would worsen the flow of energy in this area, and in response, my consciousness would become hazy, and sometimes my eyes would become vacant or bloodshot. While it is not yet complete, I feel that my resistance is stronger than before. Even though I still feel that my resistance is weak, I feel that it has improved compared to before.

This part has been gradually loosening over multiple stages, to the point where it's difficult to even count how many stages there have been. However, it seems that the loosening is accelerating with a more subtle sensation than before.

The energy flowing through this area is also denser and has a stronger adhesive quality compared to before, and for that reason, the areas that were previously loosening slowly have changed significantly in the past week.
