During a deep meditation, sometimes I feel a sweet and star-cool intense Force just above my head. At the same time I see my vital consciousness rising from its navel centre to that Force and drawing if down. It may be noted, however, that this whole movement needs a little effort (though not striving), otherwise the Force by itself does not descend.

Such an ascent and drawing down from above is often the preliminary to the spontaneous descent of that which is above.
