my understanding of this energy stuff is rather limited. here is what i have, on the top of my mind.
where you feel unity should depend on where you feel identity at the time. last time i could locate a unity experience was in a social context and in that context my identity was in the solar plexus, which is not overly surprising, because this is a social circuit. each chakra is a possible frame of reference for identity, or so they say. personally i can't quite understand being at the throat or root chakra, but navel, solar plexus, heart, third eye and crown are familiar to me. perhaps throat is too mundane to notice.
apart from rare unity experiences the other opportunity to sense your current gravity is experiences of sudden separate self contractions, for instance fear, hurt, loss of love. because you become aware of your circuit when there is a sudden contrast.
i bet you are familiar with a hurt in the heart area.
it happens to me just after i communicate something that creates separation between me and someone else, often a subtle projection of sorts.
this hurt is in the heart, not in the chest.
a unity experience in the chest is when you feel like hugging the world, it's that exctasy, 5htp, serotonin, mdma type of feeling. i speculate that these serotonin drugs make us transcend the whole gut center, because the gut is just so liberated, so we end up in the chest. the saying love goes through the stomach might be related to that. you find love when you forget about egocentric needs, you forget about egocentric needs when your survival is ensured, your survival is ensured when you are satiated. have a buch of bananas.
i have had mystical intuitions about how the ego/separate self incarnates into the chest but is then forwarded to go to different centers, where it spends it's time. the heart is the retreat or fall back option, when letting go of involvement in the other centers. that is if my memory of these intuitions is accurate. i was thinking about how people with a fearless temperament go through life. imagine you just hug someone, while approaching them and you really mean it. not only do you open up your chest by spreading the arms, it's also as if the chest becomes your navigational focus, because you target your chest at the other person, the rest of you is just following the momentum. you are not moving from the head or gut, when you do this. you must retreat from another center or rather refrain from pushing into another center in the first place, for a moment, so you can move like that.
