Nothing is Separate
Hello Folks:
I'm not sure where to start with this, so I'll just plunge right in. I've decades of experience meditating. My path has been Christian Mysticism.
Although I've heard of Chakras I've never really given them much thought. They've not been "on my path" so-to-speak.
But, in the last few years, Chakras have started to present themselves along my path. I became aware that Chakras in the first place, because of my meditation. Some years ago, during meditation, I started to feel a tingling in my forehead. A friend of mine (who is a massage therapist) told me that it was my "third eye". I didn't know what that was, and asked her about it. Then she told me about Chakras. But, still even though the Chakra presented itself in my meditation, I didn't really pursue it.
Anyway in the last year or so other energy things are showing up in my life. The first energy signs to show up have been tingling in my palms and at the bottom of my feet. This is a continuous thing. I have noticed that if I pick up a picture of someone I love, put my hands over the picture and intentionally send healing energy and love their way, that the tingling diminishes.
I've sort of taken all this in stride, and not really pursued it further. But then a month, or so ago, another Chakra presented itself to me. And now I'm thinking I should be more intentional in learning about these things.
The latest Chakra to present itself is the crown Chakra.Currently I am going through a trying spiritual journey and have been praying for guidance. Specifically guidance to come to me in my dreams. Then one night I had a very vivid dream. The crux of which follows:
But, I'm thinking I need to learn more about all of this, and that is why I'm starting this thread. The thing is, my background is western. I don't understand the eastern traditions, religions, mythologies, and languages. So.. please if you want to help .... keep this in mind.
Thanks in advance - Open_Minded

In my dream there was a lot of pressure in my head, and I was feeling a lot of pain. Then there was this very strong male hand holding a drill. The hand was over the crown of my head, as I lay down. Then the hand drilled through my crown - releasing all the pressure.
I woke immediately after this vivid dream - much of the spiritual pressure I've been feeling had eased - and I was feeling tingling in my crown. So I thought it might be a chakra and looked it up. Sure enough it is. I've found music to help heal the crown Chakra and that music has been helpful to my overall meditation.
