While meditating, I feel some sort of electric current…!
Q : I have been doing meditation for last one year regularly before going to bed at night. Recently I have started feeling some sort of electric current passing through my body, especially in my spine. During the sessions, I feel intense rays of heat which move in circles on my forehead. For the last few days the intensity of such currents and sensation has increased tremendously, through out the day. Though I am enjoying it but still there is some fear. Please guide me what exactly is happening?

Answer My dear, there is nothing to be scared of; there is nothing to worry about. Just keep on following what ever you are doing. You need to clear up your psychic channels and for that you should practice more of Nadhi Shodhan, i.e. alternate breathing. Sit straight with your spine erect, eyes closed, use your hand mudra, close your right nostril with right thumb, and inhale slowly and gently through your left. Take deep long smooth breaths. Hold it in for few seconds and then close the left nostril and breathe out through right nostril gently and deeply. Now, again inhale through your right nostril. Let is be slow, gentle and deep. Once you have inhaled, then hold the breath just for few seconds and then slowly exhale through your left. This would be one cycle. Do at least 20 cycles every morning.
If you have cardio muscular disease, if you have high blood pressure, please do not, mark my words, do not hold your breath then just inhale and exhale, taking breath in through left, exhaling through right, inhaling through right exhaling through left.
Nadhi Shodhana will help your body to prepare, to unclog your psychic channels. Then all these experiences of the heat, the sensation in the forehead, would be more enjoyable and there will be nothing to be alarmed about.
