There is still some stiffness remaining in various parts of my head, and I am gradually releasing it through meditation.

Recently, the area between my eyebrows and the back of my jaw have been challenging. During meditation, I focus on one of these areas, and it gradually releases with a "mish" sound or a slight "crack," going through several stages and repetitions, and I am slowly deepening the relaxation.

I have been doing this type of meditation for several months, and subtle changes have been occurring. Recently, the back half of the Sahasrara chakra (crown chakra) has finally started to stabilize and open. However, sometimes I notice it is closed, but it is becoming easier to open it through meditation. There is a difference in how open it is between the front and back, with the back half feeling more open, perhaps in a semi-open state.

Previously, the area near the back of my head was like a lid that was slightly opening, but it would quickly close. I would then meditate or ask my guardian spirit to open it. Now, the back half of the crown area is becoming relatively stable, which is a good trend, but the front half is not opening much, and I am not feeling much sensation there.

This time, I was not specifically focusing on that area, but because the area between my eyebrows is stiff, I was focusing on that stiff area during meditation.

Even though it is called meditation, the basic principle is to "concentrate your awareness without applying force, and relax." Even so, sometimes I end up applying force, or I often massage the area around it in sync with my breath. However, the basic principle is to maintain a state of concentrated awareness without even that.

Even though I am only concentrating my awareness, suddenly I hear a "mish" sound or a small "crack," and it gradually releases.

As a result of continuing this for several months, I suddenly started to feel energy flowing to my forehead. Just before that, I heard the usual "mish" and "crack" sound in the area between my eyebrows, and then energy flowed to my forehead. The energy in my forehead itself is not dramatic, but it feels like the degree of energy in my forehead has become similar to the central part of the crown or the back of the crown.

In that sense, the back, center, and front of the crown have become relatively activated, and the entire crown area seems to be becoming more active.

With this, the energy flowing down from the crown has become thicker, and the energy passing through the center of my head, both vertically, has become larger. Since about one-third of the crown area, which was previously blocked, has started to open, this is a significant change in the energy passing through the center of my head.

Still, the center of the head is not yet fully open enough for the large amount of energy to flow through, and there is still some "stickiness" and "narrowness" felt in the center of the head, but I think this will be a challenge for the future.

The energy that flows through the crown of the head descends to the center of the head, and then through the throat and neck. Because the area around the throat is also narrow, I have started to feel a strong pressure along with a feeling of "narrowness."

Just then, without taking much time, suddenly, the throat expanded slightly forward, and I think the energy flowing through the throat (Vishuddha) has become a little thicker than it was before this morning's meditation.

With the energy starting to flow through the forehead, I feel that the energy in various parts of the head has become more activated.

Although the center of the head is not yet completely open, I think that it is undergoing good changes step by step.
