Pressure, throbbing, electrical vibrations are all signs of the working of the Force. The places indicate the field of action – the top of the head is the summit of the thinking mind where it communicates with the higher consciousness; the neck or throat is the seat of the physical, externalising or expressive mind; the ear is the place of communication with the inner mind centre by which thoughts etc. enter into the personal being from the general Nature. The sternum at the point indicated1 holds the psychic and emotional centre, with its apex on the spinal column behind.
1 The correspondent wrote that she felt electrical vibrations in the backbone at a point in the chest parallel to the bottom of the sternum. – Ed.
