Subtle Pulsing Sensation in the Head

Lately I've been experiencing a subtle pulsing sensation in the back of my head, behind my right ear. It does not hurt or anything and happens more when I'm meditating than doing daily life stuff. I feel it all day long too, though. It's just an interesting, repeated sensation that's happening often. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Although I can't be sure, I don't think it's anything abnormal.
Probably it's just your awareness of the body growing (i.e. the sensation is always there, it's just a matter of you noticing or not).
I am quite fond of growing my body awareness, it's all sorts of useful.
What is your current practice?

Thanks. It does seem like some kind of growing body awareness. My practice is pretty informal. I've been doing daily sitting practice a couple times a week for about three years. I've experienced a bunch of what appear to perceptual shifts in that time. In MCTB, Daniel describes Enlightenment as the growing awareness that what we normally call "I" is just a process of identification that we mistakenly believe to be who we really are. Well, I don't really believe it anymore, but am not sure how far my enlightenment has taken me or how much more there is to understand about the mind/body process.
The pulsing seems like a good thing, though, like when Daniel says, "reality is syncing with itself."
