Music playing in your head?

[Eol007]

Hi there,

Yes on occasion,

Looks like an audio version of hypnagogic imagery. I sometimes get once off sounds when going through into trance states – like for instance a popping, or bell like sound as if heard externally. Also spirit communication can be given this way. You might hear a familiar song been replayed in your mind as an example. Your M.A.S.H. experience reminds me of a dream had over ten yrs ago, where I found myself re-experiencing a level of the computer game Doom. Needless to say I had a rest from shoot em up type games and a repeat performance was prevented. Similarity who cannot say that after a long drive that when falling asleep the pattern of the journey appears to rekindle it's self before falling off! So it's probably nothing to be concerned about.

At the same time I would look at this way perhaps  - It is likely that you have some clairaudient ability. Have you noticed any throat centre (chakra) activity lately? It could feel like fluttering sensation around the throat of back of neck - right through to as if you think you are actually choking.  If so, then it might not be surprising to have had the experience you have talked about.

Perhaps a bit too time spent before the idiot's lantern?

Cheers,


S

Hi EOL007

Yes I have been having throughout sensations for some time now.  They are getting stronger now that I am actively learning new stuff and working daily.  

I must admit my stupidity here.  I do not know what one has to do with the other.  Could you please explain further?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am sure you are far from stupid!!!

On a basic level each of the primary chakras relates to pretty well known set of characteristics. These is a lot on the subject on the training area of AP. See: http://www.astralpulse.com/guides/gudes.htm

In Barbara Ann Book 'Light emerging' there is an illustration showing their locations. The 7 Major chakras there are shown as been located near the major nerve plexuses of the body, e.g. 3rd chakra at the solar plexus. The base and crown chakra respectively point down to earth and up to the heavens and appear to funnel out from the body in the form of wheels or vortexes of energy. Each of the others is paired and would appear to on the front of the body correspond to feeling and back to the will.  

The 5th chakra is at the front and back of the throat and as expected relates to the senses of smell, hearing and taste. Hence to the extrasensory perceptions of clairaudience and Clairalience (clear smelling). Ever smell flowers say in Winter and wondered where they came from or walked into a room you felt that you did not like and smelt a nasty smell and then wanted to get out quick for example.

Obvoiusly the Visudda or throat chakra has an associated primary colour and is usually perceived as royal blue and has significance to our ability to take in and receive truth, and our ability to communicate. The 5th chakra has a close relationship with both the adjacent ones ie.e the heart and brow chakras, therefore on a basic level as the heart relates to love and will and the brow to sight and understanding - you should find it easy to go within and seek answers to your own questions. You should if not already done so know how your experiences relate to these basic concepts. This is big subject and I only know bit the tip of the iceberg, but you should not feel danuted by the work ahead. Can I suggest you write up your experiences and do a bit of reading as well (if not already done so).

In terms of over activity of the throat area – if it is becoming uncomfortable then ease up on your practicing awareness on the higher centers and concentrate more on regaining some energetic balance. DO read the NEW tutorial on this site. What I found for myself was that over a period of several years each of the main centers became very active and at times exceedingly uncomfortable, but  they will settle of their own accord. I have found this has occurred for myself as learning exercise, and in simple terms found that it related to issues outstanding and potentials available to me for future. In other words each of us gets a taste of what we are/have/will be working on in terms of personal/spiritual development and then the real study begins in the years ahead.

Enjoy the journey,


Stephen

Hi all, just wanted to find out if anyone else had this experience.

When I first started meditating I would try and clear my mind of thoughts.  Then some part of my brain would always start playing a song of some kind and I would find myself singing along with the lyrics.  This would inhibit my ability to clear my mind.[!]

One day I got mad and told myself to stop it!  Now more music, shut it off!!  Then I went to clear my mind again.  And again the part of the brain that cannot seem to stand a void clicked in.  But this time not with music, but with tv.  I watched an entire episode of M.A.S.H. on the screen of my mind before I realized what was happening.[:I]
