When you engage in meditation you are practicing an exercise which is designed to stimulate the spiritual energies in you which raise your consciousness.
we have three big spiritual channels one of which runs up the centre of the spine (called in yoga sushumna) and two smaller which switch from side to side as the rise up the spine (called ida and pingala in yoga). All of these channels meet at each chakra, but the point between the eyes , the ajna chakra, is especially important as this is also the seat of the atman and soul.

When your meditating you stimulate these energies to flow up the channels, they meet at ajna, and interestingly what feels like a physical sensation, is actually a spiritual one.
Another thing that happens when you meditate is that the divine also sends energy down to you too, you often feel this coming in thru the top of the head, thru the 7th chakra.
Hope that helps mate
