Slapped On the Forehead ?

[Roger]

Sounds like "Astral Noise" to me.    Check AD for further details.

I might be right off track here but this is something that happened to me.I was having an OBE one night a day after my Grandmother had
passed away trying to communicate with her when I felt her presence &
talked with her for a short while.At the end of the conversation she
touched my on the forehead & cheek! there was no mistaking it &
just to reinforce the event my girlfriend woke from a snoring sleep
to sit bolt upright yelling someone had just touched her face & she
felt someone in the room, one of my best OBE,s to date.
On an entirely different angle of your experience maybe the sounds on
the c-d dropped you into theta level brain activity & you probably
opened or felt some energy release from your Pineal gland/Brow Chakra.
Was the c-d in the key of A?.
All the best

I've had that before myself, as I was waking up once I felt somebody touching my forehead and it made a kinda buzzing sensation, I kinda shrugged and then it happened again. That was it for me I was outa bed lika rocket.

G'day!

The slap on your forehead was probably caused by brow centre activity. This will sometimes also be seen in the minds eye as a very bright flash. Check 'Brow centre strobe' in the index of Astral Dynamics.  

The headphone phenomena may also be related to brow and crown centre activity.

These sensations are fairly common phenomena and should be ignored.

Yes, spirits will sometimes touch you and cause the sensation of being touched by a hand or etc.  Your girlfriend's reaction, sensing a presence in the room, indicates that there most likely was a spirit in your room, probably your grandmother.  

It is quite common for spirits to do something during an OBE or dream meeting to ensure you remember the experience. In a way, they program your memory to react to an association.  So, when you felt the touch on your face, the memory surfaced into conscious memory. I have had this happen many times.

If your girlfriend had not sat up and woken you up, you would most likely have lost the memory of your OBE.  If you can work out how long you had been asleep, and set a watch alarm to wake you up about the same time, you might have more OBE success.


Take care, Robert.

G,day Robert ,thanks for the info & the great things you are doing.
On the episode with my Grandmother, I wasn,t asleep at the moment of
contact ( a result of insomnia since a child & an accident I,d had )
just laying there meditating/searching for her, I thought the dialogue
I was participating in was partly made up by my unconcious thoughts
but the touches on the face re-inforced it was real, as tears rolled
down my face I layed there for a couple of seconds more thinking is it
just me or what? then my girlfriend sat up ,then it was like, now I
" know ".
On the strobe effect with the brow centre, thankyou bigtime,I
remembered it was something I meant to follow up on as it happened
to me when I was 16 but it was a terrifying experience & painful as
well, a brick hitting my face would have felt better.
It reminded me of the beggining in the movie " Phenomenon " where
a light hits John Travoltas head, nearly identical, I even went &
got a c-t brain scan but no problems were found.

Hey -

About the touch on the face thing - something very similar has happened to me too in very light trance no less...  it was quite clearly hands... very deliberate, and very astounding - my temples were very gently and affectionately caressed/massaged. My whole face, but especially my third eye and the band between my temples, was literally pulsing - I could put my hands on my face and feel it... (and, this occurance helped me learn how to direct energy btw).  It's been a while since that happened and my energy is in quite a diminished or maybe in a hybernating state right now (inexplicable - I don't understand why - its like I'm shut down in comparison to previous energetic activity).... but anyway I'm rambling... I'm just glad I found this site and read things like this string of posts (I'm not alone!)

How refreshing to see others getting these experiences.  
I thought it was just me going round the twist (heehee!)
For quite a while, I have had 'energy movements' around my face when meditating especially after activating my chakras. This has felt like a gentle blowing of air over my face, even in a slow circular motion.
Also, after a meeting with a medium who told me I had 3 spirit guides (yes, I know, a debatable subject round here) I decided to try and meet them in a meditative state. Well, I asked for a 'touch' or something so that I would know that they were around and I got taken by surprise as my lap was sat on and I received a big hug!
Now this sort of thing normally would have had me running out of the house screaming. But it was the most wonderful feeling ever. In fact it reduced me to tears for some reason. It was very moving and I felt like I had just met an old forgotten friend.
Well, that's my experience. Doing NEW has definately helped me become more receptive to this sort of thing.
Take care.

Alright now, what's going on?
In the last couple of weeks while trying to produce conscious OBE's,
I've been slapped lightly on the center of my forehead! There's nobody in the room with me, this is something that never happened before.  It's happened twice now, another time I was wearing headphones listening to an Astral Trance CD and something rapped on the side of my headphones three times in one sitting! I'll open my eyes but I don't see anything in the room.
Have any of you felt these physical actions when in a meditative state?  They do seem harmless but, am I supposed to say hello?, or what is it all about?
