I didn't know where to put this. I found a tube inside of the spinal nerve. It goes to the hairline or the crown, not near the eyebrows. If I go into this tube, my allergies clear up for a while , my bum shoulder stops hurting, my meditation is smoother, and I have more energy to complete the day.
I can't see it; I can feel it.

Now watch out for the signs, the exit sign, and the tube that curves towards the brow

Hi Lalow,
This tube is called the "brahma nadi" which means the "Divine river" in Sanskrit. It passes up through the crown and through the "Brahmarundra" which means the "Gateway to God". The Brahmarundra lies a short distance above the crown. This tube is mentioned by Yogani in
lesson 199:
"Let's talk about the dynamics of the crown in relation to the rest of the nervous system. In the recent lesson on mantra design, it was mentioned that the sushumna has a fork in it in the middle of the head. One fork goes forward to the point between the eyebrows, and the other one goes up into the center of the crown. In spinal breathing we take the front fork with our attention and traverse the spinal nerve repeatedly with our breath, going between the root and the point between the eyebrows. In doing so, we are cultivating and purifying the spinal nerve along that route. The result is a radiation of purifying life force (prana) going out in all directions in the nervous system from the spinal nerve.
This radiation of energy from the spinal nerve also goes up the other fork to the crown. We don't even think about it. We don't put attention on the crown. Never the less, spinal breathing between the brow and the root purifies the crown in this way, just as it purifies all the rest of the nervous system. " [Yogani]
The recommendation in AYP is to continue your Spinal Breathing between the root and the brow, regardless of what sensations or energetic experiences you may feel if you go up through the brahma nadi instead.
If you are drawn to work at the crown, then follow the procedure in lesson 199 for working at the crown chakra. It involves "testing" by placing your attention at the crown for short periods after your last sitting practice is finished and before rest.
In this way you will maintain a smooth and safe journey of awakening, even whilst being able to directly open the crown. The preliminary requirements for being able to work at the crown are the same as those for being able to use targeted spinal bastrika and are given in
lesson 198.
Enjoy.

Hey Christi,
This tube also goes to the hairline. That's where I go. It's more energy balancing for me. I know that's not what is recommended ( hence posting it in other systems forum).
The experience isn't the most awesomest experience. It's just easy. Seems normal. It's very light.
So, my awareness goes there. If I try to go to towards the brow, well it doesn't go there, so it's a big headache( literally). I can't even meditate afterwards.
I'm going to just go with it. I'm not afraid.

Hi Lalow,
No problem with going to the hairline, if that is where you are naturally taken in Spinal Breathing. It is a natural development of the process which occurs as the ajna chakra begins to merge with the crown in the higher stages of practice.
My cautions above were only about going directly to the crown.
See lesson 287, Question 2:
