Is there a scientific explanation for tingling of forehead and spine from meditation?

2 posts in this topic

If anyone here has looked into it I'm interested what you have to say. 

As far as scientific measurements go for changes in state during meditation all I've looked at is this 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_activity_and_meditation

"Recent studies have shown heightened activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, frontal cortex, and prefrontal cortex, specifically in the dorsal medial prefrontal area during Vipassana meditation. Similarly, the cingulate cortexand frontal cortex areas were shown to have increased activity during Zen meditation"

Areas of the brain close to your forehead have increased activity, so maybe this is why you have tingling on your forehead? Even so, it's a weird phenomena and I'm not sure whether there is an explanation. 

As far as spinal tingling and other weird sensations on back go I have nothing to say.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

Your whole body can tingle from mediation and very intense, you do not even have to mediate, you can even focus on certain parts of body and make them tingle, but I have no clue what it is, I remember I once tried to see if there will be any changes on any of multimeter  options, do not remember how it went though, but I think it is something like static energy, that is just my guess.
