Head Pressure after Meditation.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Sometimes when I meditate I experience a band of pressure around my head. It persists after I have stopped my meditation until I go to sleep.
Should I be concerned about this? It is not painful, but it is worrisome.
Response:
Since the head pressure doesn’t occur in every meditation, then that probably means it is due to intermittent stress release. If the pressure becomes too strong during meditation, then don’t strain to think your mantra against the pain. For the time being, ease off the mantra and let your attention gently be with the sensation of pressure. Putting your attention on the sensation will facilitate the stress release. Once the discomfort has subsided somewhat, your mind will start to drift off onto other thoughts. This is your signal that you can resume thinking the mantra.
Also, at the end of meditation, instead of getting up from meditation after a couple of minutes, lie down for 5-10 minutes. This period of time will allow any residual unstressing from meditation to complete itself, so if there is any remaining head pressure it should subside at this time.
Love,
Deepak

Hello Dr. Chopra, at times during meditation I see images of people that I don't know. I see them doing or saying something and after a bit it seems that my ego intervenes and I think "why am I seeing these people/this person" and poof they're gone. I haven't concerned myself with it as I've never had a bad feeling/energy associated but am curious why I'm seeing these images of people I don't know. Thank you in advance.
