In this post, I'm going to share some of my insights from my work as a spiritual guide and energy healer about energy head pressure. This is something that affects many spiritual folks, but also regular people who might be experiencing an unconscious spiritual awakening.
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about head pressure due to medical conditions like brain tumors or injuries but due to energy and spiritual causes.
What is energy head pressure?
What's spiritual head pressure? Regular meditation can be super beneficial. Besides boosting your awareness, it brings a lot of higher energy into your body. Research shows it can enhance empathy, improve thinking skills, naturally balance stress, promote emotional health, increase focus, raise awareness, reduce pain, and more.
What I’m trying to say from direct experience is that during meditation, energy (like prana or chi) mostly enters the body through the crown and Ajna chakras. If you're not careful, this extra energy can start putting a lot of pressure on the subtle energy fields in your head.
Basically, if your connection to Earth isn't great, you might experience head pressure which might manifest as intense pressure on your head, dizziness, trouble thinking, memory loss, and just feeling off in general. Dealing with spiritual head pressure in real life can be super painful, especially if it goes on for a while. This can mess with your spiritual health and slow down your spiritual growth.
How the energy flows throughout the body
Energy, often called prana or chi, moves in a circular pattern within our bodies. Ideally, it should flow smoothly, but in reality, we often develop blockages because of our limiting beliefs. Ancient Chinese Taoist spiritual practices refer to this energy path as the "microcosmic orbit," describing a complete circulation of energy through the front and back of the body.
The microcosmic orbit is a way to collect and direct all the scattered energies in the body, moving them from the root chakra to the crown chakra. The energy travels up the spine from the root chakra to the crown, then comes down the front of the body back to the lower belly, completing the orbit.
While the energy travels along this Kundalini microcosmic orbit, some specific energy reservoirs in our body are replenished, which means this energy is available to all other meridians and organs. Maintaining this circuit running smoothly is the best way to cultivate health and long life, while at the same time preparing the way to soul evolution.
In the 1930s, Richard Wilhelm described the benefit of the circling of light in his translation of the “Secret of the Golden Flower”, a Chinese Book of Life. This ancient text was transmitted orally for many centuries before being written down only in the eighth century.
The circling of energy/chi is considered by Taoists an alchemical or transforming process. When the light circles long enough they believe that it crystallizes and the body is transformed, or in modern terms the body vibration increases significantly. We attain the natural spirit-body, and this body is formed “beyond all heavens.” The sages claim in the Secret of the Golden Flower that the only tool we need to master is this concentration of thought on the circling light. This circuit includes also the energy that yoga calls kundalini.
The above proves that this circuit is studied since very ancient times by some ancient spiritual schools, and issues belonging to its correct functioning were well known.
This practice of microcosmic orbit over a long time done by many spirituals also highlighted some microcosmic orbit dangers connected with kundalini awakening that should be taken into consideration when adopting such a practice.
Head pressure causes
In light of the above, you will understand now more easily when I tell you that in my practice of spiritual healing and energy healing, I met many spirituals who suffered from this condition.
The main cause of their head pressure or head pressure kundalini feeling was that the front channel of their microcosmic orbit was blocked due to some factors, like:
limiting beliefs in the subconscious
wrong diet,
some strong fears and worries active in the long term,
other factors
The head pressure kundalini symptoms cause a drop in one's quality of life and real pains. So the "pressure in my head" is due to ignorance of what impacts energy into our body and manifests as:
major chakras unbalanced
the front channel is blocked
strong head pressure and pains
A limiting belief is a mindset or idea about yourself that holds you back. These beliefs are stored in your subconscious. Everyone has them, but figuring out what they are can help you stop them from restricting you.
Limiting beliefs can also keep you in a negative state of mind, hindering you from encountering new opportunities and life experiences while wreaking havoc on your mental health. That’s why it’s so important to not only work on your self-awareness and self-esteem but also recognize unconscious biases.
Our beliefs directly influence our reality, drawing in what we believe and repelling what we don't. Limiting beliefs is the biggest obstacle to our energy flow. Although all the previously mentioned factors are forms of limiting beliefs, I've categorized them for better understanding. Spiritual pressure occurs when we ignore these limiting beliefs in our subconscious.
Spiritual awakening and Kundalini awakening
In my practice as a spiritual healer, I noticed that especially people who went through some degree of spiritual awakening or kundalini awakening (they are not the same) have a rather high chance of suffering from this syndrome. Paradoxically, the better meditators have a higher chance to suffer from energy head pressure since these are more efficient in bringing in their body larger amounts of higher energy.
An overactive kundalini, especially during spiritual practice, can often cause head pressure.
The issue is that many practical details known by ancient spiritual schools have been lost over time. This is due to translation problems, misinterpretations by numerous intermediaries, and a lack of spiritual masters with advanced practical knowledge.
Nowadays, both in the West and the East, many spiritual schools lack practical spiritual knowledge, even if they try to adhere to ancient theoretical guidelines and principles.
Divine feminine and divine masculine energies
All people, whether men or women have both divine masculine and feminine energies in them. The two are expected to complement each other.
For example, masculine energy tends to be more of a builder, following plans, having direction, taking decisions, focus, ambition, and a sense of purpose. However, it might lack access to energies like intuition, sensitivity to vibes, and connection with higher dimensions.
Feminine energy is known for its nurturing nature, driven mainly by emotions, and is full of empathy and tenderness. It relies on intuition, has abundant energy, and shares it with others. However, it can struggle with following plans, making judgments, and decision-making.
Both types can have positive or negative attributes obviously, depending on the person’s choices in life. The two aspects were designed to ideally complement each other.
Important to understand is that in practical terms an imbalance of the two types of energies will block the microcosmic orbit and impede the energy flow.
How to relieve head pressure
There are two main ways to relieve one head’s pressure. You can find how to deal with head pressure in another post of mine here, but I give you below a practical short solution.
The Chinese medicine approach
In this approach, one uses the services of a Chinese doctor/herbalist with advanced practice in Taoism medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). He will check your energy pulse, check your meridians, and devise a plant-based potion that you take regularly. In weeks to months, an improvement can be noticed. This approach works on the effects i.e. the energy blockages in you.
The organic beliefs release approach
In this approach, you work directly on releasing your limiting beliefs and this raises both your soul and body vibration. By doing so you also unblock your chakras and clean the microcosmic orbit energy flow path, thus allowing the energy circuit to turn efficiently and bring the much-needed energy to your body organs and preserve your health and energy reservoir. Additionally, it will give you lots of support in raising your soul awareness.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the "pressure in my head spiritual meaning" is shortly put the effect of practicing spirituality without competent supervision.
For unblocking the microcosmic orbit and thus relieving the head pressure pain the TCM alternative could be quicker; the disadvantage is that the issue can easily return since the cause of it i.e. the specific limiting belief, hasn’t been fixed.
The second alternative belongs to working directly on the causes i.e. limiting beliefs, so an organic approach we could call it, will definitely fix the issues with much fewer chances of the issue returning. The disadvantage is that on average it takes longer than the previous approach.
Personally, as a spiritual guide and healer, I would recommend the last approach, but of course, it all depends on how much you suffer, in which case you might take the first approach.
