Head facing up

[okulele]

Lately as I get into deeper meditative states, my head tends to face up towards the ceiling spontaneously. Is that a common thing or is it my neck tensing up? Should I try to force my head back down/relax my neck or just leave it be? Any ideas?

how up?It happens to me also, but i dont think it matters.

@okulele I experience that too. My spine spontaneously takes weird positions sometimes. I think both are good; in some meditations, allow the spontaneity, and in others, stay still and disappear.

I kinda feel it could be interpreted as 'opening up'.  Your body is reacting to your mind ;-) When your neck is tense, head/chin position is lower than usual.

@Sirius it varies. Up to 45° from the neutral position, I think.

@okulele Same thing happens to me. From what ive noticed, looking up is a signal that your throat chakra wants to be opened up. So next time that happens, try and be a little more vulnerable and put your throat out there as well as your attention. You may begin to hum or make soft sounds of sorts.

@Sahil Pandit Do you mean putting my attention to the throat? Are these sounds something spontaneously might come up this way?
