Secret Spot Troubleshooting – Where Is The Secret Spot?

Secret Spot Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I am still not sure where the secret spot is located physically.
Those of you who have Yogani’s “Asanas and Mudras” book, there is a pic in there that shows the nasopharynx area as seen from the inside looking out.
At the bottom there is the structure that is the hard palate I imagine from which the septum stems up from. Now, is the secret spot at the juncture where the septum and that lower structure meet, or on the septum itself?

Great question. The secret spot is roughly halfway up the septum – so yes – it is on the septum itself.

This is what most people report, including myself, but I think we should leave room for the possibility that certain people could have unique anatomies – so it is possible that it may be slightly higher or lower for you.

The secret spot, for me, occurs where the septum does a 10º sharp turn. That it, the septum is almost exactly straight – but there is a 170º 'kink' around halfway. (The secret spot, to clarify, is located on/in the soft tissue of the nasal septum – not on the septum-bone itself)

Touching this spot induces a slight tingly feeling all throughout my body – and adding more pressure with the tongue increases the sensation. Some people report this secret spot as the holy grail, of sorts. For me, the tingling at the secret spot usually motivates my tongue to explore higher and higher. Yet the secret spot is always a good place to begin my routine, as it resembles a 'warm up' before going into stage 4. Also, the tongue can dance between the other pressure points of The Cross as mentioned in my book to induce stronger feelings of blessedness, and also reveal visuals of heavenly sights. That is my experience anyway! It's always helpful for everyone to share their experiences, so we can determining how unique or ubiquitous these various experiences are.
