Abnormal pressure in my brow

[Jeff_Mash]

It sounds to me like your 3rd Eye chakra is really active.  It's an energy center located in between the eyes, and when active, it can feel like everything you describe.  

Mine feels like it's pulsating/spinning, and often, it gives the sensation that a finger is about to poke out of my forehead (not in a painful way...but you definitely feel the pressure).

Do a google search for Chakras and read about the 3rd Eye to give more detailed information.

Yea, i think ap increases sensitivty to the chakras. At one point while i was in that inbetween state i felt a stream come down from my third eye through my nose and down the roof of my mouth it was sooo painful and i could hear a cracking noise as if my bones were moving about i thought my nose was going to break. I think it has to do with some kind of rewiring from new energies that are being distributed.

Ever since i started APing (or at least trying to, i still haven't gone out, almost 6 montth its been) ever since i started practising i noticed strange pressure in my head.

It can be characterised as something between the following

-substance expanding/shrinking feeling, somewhere between my eyes
-a hook trapped in my brain and something pulling it in different directions
-or like a hoover stuck in my face and its sucking my 3rd eye out
-a tight wrap around the head

Whats interesting is that this feeling gets more intense when i meditate. And i can direct left/right up/down forward/backward it's motion with my thoughts.

What the hell can it be?

It sounds like your on the right track, these arent too strange of occurances. If I were you I would just go with the flow.

funny, i was just about to post about this.
i did energy development work for over a year and a half and focused a lot of my energy on my third eye and its development. but it wasn't until i had a very spiritual experience spontaneously and without warning about nine months ago(not induced by drugs but was of the liking to mushrooms or acid and would be too much of an experience to describe now) and after that i've known my third eye to be fully awakened. the feeling started as if there was a ball bearing directly in between my eyebrows and has evolved into enourmous pressure that i'm a aware of all the time, whether i like it or not. sometimes it feels like a fiery pressure, sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it feels electric, and sometimes it seems to have a life of its own, spinning and moving in all directions. the pressure reacts to the environment and people i interact with. i can even send powerful thoughts with it that actually get reactions, being repeating the thought or replying to it. on occasion i'll even recieve very vivid images from spiritual entities or other people. sometimes it feels like a blessing and sometimes it feels like a burden. all i can say to you, tyler, is work with the sensations using different elements as tools (like envisioning it as a flame) and it will become more sensitive. i liken the pressure to my higher self constantly holding "Wake Up!" in its mind.

I get the same feeling whenever i attempt to astral project. I don't know it kind of feels good time( kind of like a headache reliever or somthin like that).[]

I get this,too-I also get band headaches around my head-I dont know why exactly but I have read it is common if you do energy work or AP-also-I have noticed I can predict rain and storms with these-if there is going to be a shift in pressure I get a nauseating headache right before-

Yep. It sounds ike the ol' third eye.
Just don't pay too much attention to it as overacting on a chakra can cause trouble as in the chakra becoming a nuisance on account of being active all the time (the brow is my nemesis at times [xx(])

Now that you've managed to activate one chakra try using the same method only focus on some other center. You should be able to excersize(sp?) and activate the rest in a similar fashion.
