Crown of head facing north while Meditating

[Inkshards]

Is there any significance for the crown of the head to be facing north while meditating?

I had an experience today while meditating in which I feel asleep but didn't know I was asleep and was continuing to meditate in the dream.  Opening my eyes in the dream I discovered that I was at the foot of the bed at a bit of an angle and was looking at my window.  The only thing that tipped me off that I was in a dream was that there where items by my window that I didn't own and that jogged me out and woke me up.  Out of curiosity I used the compass and discovered that my head was facing exactly north in the dream by recreating the position.

I'm wondering if that means anything and should I take the weird dream hint and start meditating in that position?

I don't know, but in meditation when working with directions I prefer West because it's the direction of transformation and is fiery/active.
North I find to be a colder energy and is rather still.

Sometimes though I like the stillness.

I had only experimented with this but did not take the habit.

List ye, O man, whilst I give the secret so that
ye, too, shalt taste not of change.
One hour each day shalt thou lie
with thine head pointed to the
place of the positive pole (north).
One hour each day shalt thy head be
pointed to the place of the negative pole (south).
Whilst thy head is placed to the northward,
hold thou thy consciousness from the chest to the head.
And when thy head is placed southward,
hold thou thy thought from chest to the feet.
Hold thou in balance once in each seven,
and thy balance will retain the whole of its strength.
Aye, if thou be old, thy body will freshen
and thy strength will become as a youth's.
This is the secret known to the Masters
by which they hold off the fingers of Death.
Neglect not to follow the path I have shown,
for when thou hast passed beyond years
to a hundred to neglect
it will mean the coming of Death.

@ Minyatur: What is the source of the quote you posted (The Keys of Life and Death)?

I think it’s from the emerald tablets.

It’s funny because back in middle school I got a book on learning how to astral project and eventually I would reach this weird vibrating feeling that was so strong it felt like my teeth where going to ‘rip out’. I would get scared and I never was able to pass it and I couldn’t find anything in the book about that feeling. The only thing that ever mentions the vibrating feeling was in the Emerald tablets (I should probably finish it!)

The only thing I worry about is encountering negative beings while exploring all these metaphysical mysterious. I’m wondering if meditating in that position in my dream is going to ‘enhance’ it in a way both good and bad?

The only way to find out would be to try it!! Lol

Ya from the emerald tablets.

My favorite is the Key to Above and Below.

Thanks Min and Inkshards. I have a copy somewhere. You have rekindled my interest in The Emerald Tablets.

I am not sure if it means anything. However, it is through the crown of the head that we tend to leave the body in astral travel.

Yes, you should try on your dream hints. I get mudras now and again. (hand gestures) You may have slipped into your future and may find you eventually own those items.
