One thing to note with all forms of meditation is that there are no wrong way to do it.  The most important thing to remember about meditation is that it needs to "feel" good to you.  I mean everything about the meditation should feel comfortable, you should not be straining in any way.  One thing that I have found is that no matter what happens you should let it happen, just don't force it to happen faster.  

If during meditation it becomes painful which it sometimes can, you can either stop for the time being or try to slow what is happening.  For example, in your case when your head starts throbbing you could move all of your awareness down into your root chakra.  This in turn draws the energy causing the throbbing away from your head, alleviating some of the pain.

Drawing energy into you navel chakra is perfectly fine, this is the safest place to bring the energy in my experiences.  If your main goal is to increase your energy levels you should work with the NEW system which you can find on this site.  By working on the minor chakras, which is the focus of NEW, your body will over time be able to store more energy.

Hello Finn
Nice to meet you and  welcome to Astral pulse. I've been trying to read your post  but it's been a bit busy  around here but later I'll catch up with everything, anyway just thought I'd say welcome again.

Nice to meet you Finn.  I'm quite new here myself.  I'm about your age, 38.  I first read about OBEs in high school when my best friend loaned me Monroe's book, Journey's Out Of The Body.  That book blew my mind and I used to try repeatedly to have an OBE.  I never really got beyond a feeling of strong vibrations.  Also, my friend was not successful either so I thought that maybe the whole OBE thing was actually fiction.

Then, a couple months back, my mother told me about two paranormal incidents she had had recently.  This made me start to think about paranormal phenomenon again for the first time in many years.  I surfed the net out of curiosity and came across this site.

After reading many posts here, I am convinced that OBEs are not fiction.  I believe that this will help me to actually have one at some point.  I'm reading Bruce's Astral Dynamics right now.

I'm married, 10 years this thursday.  We have no kids, but we do have two large dogs and a cat.

I too play guitar.  My day job is working as a courier for a Med Lab.  Lately I've been juggling several interests, Kabbalah, Astrology, music, and fiction reading.  Right now I'm reading Clive Barker's Imajica.  And I'm mostly listening to the new Evanescence CD.  

I've never remembered a lucid dream, although I have had a few flying dreams and I love it whenever I do.

P.S.  Maybe some of the regulars could post some info about themselves under this topic too...?

Imagine this, you and the other person knock into eachother while blindly moving to the others bedroom to check on them. My mother and I bumped into eachother in the hallway after us each having a nightmare where the other was hurt. When we went into detail it was the exact same dream. There is a small history of ESP in my family on my mothers side.
