Head Stuff

qosOver the past year or so I've frequently found that when I attempt a new magical technique, or have certain kinds of otherworldy encounters with energy, I have distinct sensations in different parts of my head. Sometimes there's a sense of swelling/pressure, as if my 'mind' is literally expanding. Sometimes it's a pain, as if something is trying to open.
I've felt wedges of energy pushing into the top of my head, bands circling my head in various places, holes being bored from the inside out or outside in, as if to allow pressure to escape. Last night, there was a line of pressure/light pain horizontally across the full width of my forehead, as if the top of my head should be able to open like a lid.
These sensations usually are not accompanied by any kind of straining on my part. Usually I've been in a relaxed meditative state. There have never been any lingering after-effects, and they usually do not repeat the next time I encounter that same energy.
It's as if some part of me has to be opened or stretched when encountering new forms of energy -- or new ways of working with familiar energy -- but once that has happened future exposures occur without any sensation.
I'd be interested in hearing if others have similiar experiences.
