Lately, when I have a session I feel this pressure building up in the back of my head- where it connects with my neck. I also feel it in my jaw. It is like a pulsing sensation where my jaw actually moves, and I feel my mouth opening and closing a bit. When the energy rises my cheeks and forehead go along with it.
I can force this to stop but can't relax into it; when I do it will start again or it intensifies.
It's not entirely unpleasant but it's a distraction for me and I start trying to make it stop and wonder what it could be. It feels like my body has trouble with spreading the energy around and is trying to push everything into one location or something.
Do any of you guys have this or have some theories about it?
I have no theories but I often have the same experience, I think. I also find my ears move forward and back in sync with the pulsing. I enjoy it because the best orgasms, for me, start once the pleasure incorporates the head. From there, it often becomes a full body orgasm.
Guys, it sounds to me that what you are experiencing is sexual energy transfer. You actually want it to move through your body according to ancient Taoist. This will help promote full body Super-O and is part of your rewiring process.
I've never experience this directly but I would suggest that you "let go" fully if possible during a session. If you transfer the energy to other parts of your body, you may find yourself with whole-body shaking and/or spasming. If you feel it and can do it, moans and/or screams will also help. Both are good during an Aneros session. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply's guys.
Interesting to read how you get into full body orgasm from the head thing JudgeAaron.
To clarify myself a bit: I usually have the feeling start around my stomach area, it might linger or radiate further. I've been doing this Aneros thing for over a year and never had this before. It's been over a week now where it will go straight to my head every time. Multiple sessions, even A-less.
You might be onto something Goldenboy. I do kinda feel like screaming and one time nearly spasmed out of my chair. I don't really know how to approach the letting go thing though. If that is what I need to do. My best shit has happened while being fully relaxed. Even the biggest of waves would have my body remain in tranquil bliss. Maybe I should work on vocalising, just to see if it will do anything. I live alone and it's really not a problem, but still I feel very self-aware when it does happen by accident. maybe I should try to break the silent ninja approach.
Having your tongue up to the roof of your mouth may alleviate your symptoms. Mantak Chia, in Taoist Secrets of Love, describes a portion of the Microcosmic Orbit, "The tongue is like a switch that connects these two currents—
when it is touched to the roof of the mouth just behind the front teeth, the energy can flow in a circle up the spine and back down
the front."
This has worked very well for me however, I suggest reading up on the Microcosmic Orbit in order to better prepare yourself for this incredibly powerful exercise of the mind.
Agree with @MO_Bosco. You might also look at 'soft pallet sucking' as a means of re-directing this energy. @artform posted on this form of tongue movement and you may be able to search out his threads in the archives between 2010 and 2013.
Having once broken one tooth and cracked a filling on another during my early energy moves I suggest pick up a soft mouth guard from a sporting goods store (Dentists are way overpriced) and mold it to fit your mouth.
It definitely has to do with mircocosmic energy moving from the back and down to the belly. but I am interested what you are doing when you have that session. Maybe we can skype if it is convenient. So far I have not experienced the Super o yet with MGX.
I've had an awesome session yesterday after reading the Multi-Orgasmic man (skimming most parts, going to read some more later). Coming from yoga there are some differences like the front and back channel and what I understood is that your tongue acts as a bridge between the two when you touch the roof of your mouth. I went to the gym and did some yoga earlier, had a good meal, a shower and felt good about myself later that night. I was doing some breathing exercises and was trying to feel the energy and to visualize the flow of energy like the book says that it works.
During the session I was experimenting with alternating mouth and nose breathing and touching the roof of my mouth with my tongue and I could swear I felt the energy warming up. I felt a light sweat and the hairs on my legs and stomach became sensitive. The coolness of the air touching my skin.
I got some very nice waves this way. I didn't orgasm or at least not very hard but the waves lasted a good while and could sustain themselves- where you get swept back up before you fall down too much. I turned off the porn early and was just lying on my couch in the dark at this stage. I felt satisfied afterwards without a hint of frustration or 'too much' energy. I think it's definitely worth it to explore this breath and tongue stuff further. For sure.
I also broke my progasm by dropping it on the floor. The K-tab flew off and I decided to just try it without one. Was kinda worried it would get sucked inside, but after the initial fear I really liked it. So I'm not really sure if this was a factor, but mentioning it anyway.
@rook, wow you broke a tooth? Do you clench your teeth when you are into it or bite down hard or something? I will read into the soft palette thing if I can find it.
The broken tooth was a "newbie" error of jaw flexing to increase the intensity of an orgasm that wasn't happening. At the time I was jaw flexing and gritting my teeth without realizing how much force I was generating.
All of my 'orgasmic sessions' employ one or two extended intervals of ZaZen breathing (body horizontal though rather than sitting in a chair). I always breath through my nose and my point of mental focus is an internal point where the inhalation airflow reverses its path to turn downward into the windpipe just behind my pallet. Maintaining that focus helps me to avoid random thinking or "monkey brain" wandering. It also makes pallet touches by the tongue more effective.
The inhalations offer me much more feeling than do the exhalations. Of course, everyone is different but I think meditation like this really helps establish some uniformity from session to session. Once the involuntaries and whole body sensations take over from the p-waves I go to very shallow and relaxed breathing and 'disconnect' from the nasal focus point.
@rook
I haven't been able to find the post from @artform that you mentioned. Not sure if it's my fault, or the search options the site offers, or the fact that artform has written a lot :P, but I can't find it for the life of me. I've been experimenting with it on my own but it doesn't do anything for me or I'm doing it wrong. The palette touching and nose breathing do help though. So I wonder if there is more to gain.
I really like the focus point you describe. It's quite good because you can actually feel the breath there. I feel that once I get really into it though, my breathing becoming very shallow but also erratic, and I start breathing through my mouth and sometimes hold it. Are you able to stay relaxed all the way? Do you still breathe through the nose once you 'disconnect'?
I want to give an update on this because I have 'resolved' it, or at least moved past it.
I have tried a bunch of things that were related to making energy flow and breathing. My sessions weren't going anywhere anyway, because of the head pressure thing. Keeping things light was the best I could do not to have too much pressure there. Meditating past it or ignoring it just didn't work, it was just too much.
What cured me was a big orgasm. I could feel it moving past the barrier at the back of my skull and it was able to spread throughout. Orgasming full body felt like it cleaned the pipes; like I got all flushed out.
Sessions have been nice ever since. I still get the sensation of pressure, and moving ears and jaw sometimes but the intensity is much lower. I can work with this without it overpowering everything.
I'm not exactly sure what I did to get that orgasm, or why I hadn't seen one in months.
My very first big orgasm happened just a few weeks after I started out. That one felt like it was blasting something open. I felt energy surging whenever I sat or lay down afterwards. At such an intensity that it was hard to focus on anything or to fall asleep; it lasted for days. I didn't like this at all and had to work quite a bit at this fear, that it had established in later sessions. Because it had scared the crap out of me. I seriously felt like my body and brain weren't working right; I felt very unhinged.
It's the aggressiveness that I don't like or can't work with. It's this pushing or zapping that doesn't feel nice. I think both 'problems' are related in the way that both were too aggressive or too much.
Guess it makes sense for 'too much' to exist.
Maybe it was just faith, knowing that I could still orgasm, that did it. I don't know.
It could also be true that my body can learn to handle more of it? What if both the orgasm and the pressure have the same intensity as what I get now, but my body or sub-conscience mind just isn't that impressed anymore? Desensitization.
