MessageI agree with the comments that singing ocean said.
Having experienced this head pressure myself before in other situations,
let me offer you some things to consider--some of which may relate.
Do you notice a lot of tension in your neck and shoulder muscles?
Often this is a contributor to this problem. This can cause
blood and chi to get trapped in the head area. Focus on relaxing
these muscles will allow the blood and chi to flow more easily.
At least for me, this typically tends to be the MAJOR contributor.
Are you sleeping and/or eating properly?
Low blood sugar can cause these symptoms.
When you do qigong, are you forcing your breathing?
Overexaggerating breathing can create tension in the head and
cause a hyperventilated condition where you have too much oxygen
in relation to sugar.
As singing ocean mentioned, are you keeping your tongue on
the roof of your mouth when practicing?
Doing so helps complete a chi circuit so that chi can descend.
Are you under a lot of mental stress?
This creates tension which can be amplified under qigong if
you don't allow your body to relax while practicing.
As for tension and mental stress issues, try practicing an extended
Inner Smile Meditation. I've found that this can alleviate
some of the symptoms you describe. As your body begins to
feel accepted, it releases tension and chi flows more harmoniously
and these problems decrease.
Best wishes,
Steven
