Hello, I have a passion, problem and lots of time. For 2 and 1/2 years I've felt a sensation on my forehead when I meditate which I usually do lying down. One day while sitting upright with my legs crossed my legs fell asleep. I decided to stand up. After a few moments I felt a huge rush throughout my body. At first I thought it was the blood suddenly circulating to the lower part of my body. After several times I found that a deep breath initiated the feeling.
That was where it began. As soon as breathing came into the picture the anomaly of the rushing sensation could be repeated on demand. It has been roughly 4 months since that time. The action of breathing invokes the feeling. I understand very little of what I actually am doing and how I am actually doing it. I know how to repeat it. I know doing too much strains my frontal lobes causing headaches.
My idea of what the opening of the gateway is the "pulling" of chi John Chang mentions in this youtube video.

At the 9:00 minute mark is what I often think about. After I breathe in I move all the air up to my shoulders then in stages flex down to my navel. The problem is I can only do this while holding my breathe. This guy had 18 years of practice so he must have learned a lot.
I'm not sure what I am seeking from this forum. I'm really looking for ideas of how to open the gateway or pull with more efficiency. (Absolutely anything is helpful)
Early on I would have uncontrollable spasms after initiating the sensation/flow.
I am at a loss often at how to explain this. Session 49 suggests to me that my headaches and head pain from performing this skill/technique/exercise is developing capacitance(?) to the weak electric force generated by the body
Honesty two days ago I worked through the pain and practiced this for roughly 3 hours. I had interesting experiences most of which are difficult to describe. Yesterday and today have been much more difficult to achieve the same magnitude of joy/ecstasy as two days ago and have much lower thresholds for pain.
I know I need to lay off it while my body and brain heals, but it's tough.....
Does anybody have similar experiences or advice (possibly questions)?
