Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just wanted to see if anyone else has this happen?
I feel all sorts of things seemingly in my brain but I am 99% sure they’re not the brain itself.
Headaches often feel like they are in my frontal lobe, but I’ve also gotten other kinds that feel like they are located in the back of the brain.
When I smoke weed, my brain feels like it is relaxing and sagging, leaning against the back of my forehead as it chills. My friend often referred to this as “Frankenstein Head” and I’ve always felt that was pretty apt.
If I stand up too fast (being a tall motherfucker), my brain feels like someone poured pop-rocks into my skull for a moment. I also see multicolored dots and swirls in my vision.
When I get brain freeze, well… That’s pretty self explanatory.
If someone was to tickle my back, stomach or nibble my ears, I get an electric tingle throughout my entire nervous system, including in the brain. It feels like being static shocked all over, but in a good way? A “pleasurable electrocution” is the only way to describe it.
I get a specific feeling in my head when I’m about to start a panic or anxiety attack. It’s at that moment where I can usually just like… Take a breath, relax, and try to avoid the issue calling it or I succumb and deal with it. I get the warning feeling in my brain though.
In other physical things, I can slow down or accelerate my heartbeat on demand and I’ve shown my SO when we were messing with a heart rate monitor. I can also make my heartbeat skip on demand but stopped that after I scared the shit out of an ex when I showed them. Also the doctor told me don’t do that anymore after I told her it was a thing.
It's most probably feelings from your nerves, that you are re-interpreting as coming from inside your brain. Kind of like how headaches sometimes feel as if they are in the middle of your brain.
That’s completely normal; the sensations are caused by some energy you’ve stored inside of you being re-activated. If you can follow those sensations to the root, the thorn, and then gradually work at that thorn, you can do some serious mental cleansing. If you’re able to remove all of the thorns, you will experience this zen-like peace for anything and everything that comes your direction.
This Michael Singer guy did a whole bunch of that kind of introspection, figured it all out, then wrote three different books on the process.
