No such thing as a third eye, astral projection or any of that nonsense. With that in mind, meditation is great. We have an inner dialogue with ourselves and most of us don't live in the moment. Mindfulness meditation, when used correctly, helps to teach us to focus on everything that is occurring now. It's not about teaching us how to ignore bad shit either. It trains the brain to be aware of the present moment and all of the thoughts, feelings, emotions that are occurring, without holding on to them. Most people that start meditating think that they are great at it, because it actually takes a lot of training to realize how bad we are. However, it does rewire the brain. To do this, no magical nonsense is needed. It's all a product of our amazing brains.
I know it might all be a myth or what not but why do I have these crazy sensations at night were I literally feel like if I concentrate hard enough I find myself staring at myself while I'm sleeping. It has been happening unintentionally since a few years ago except now I feel more able to control my self and sometimes lucid dream well. I don't even try to force any of this, I just want to know is anyone else has experienced this and I'm not just going insane lol
That's the insular cortex. It's responsible for our sense of self. This is the part of the brain that is responsible when people say that they lose their sense of self through meditation. It's also the part of the brain that is often injured, overstimulated, etc. when people say that they had an out of body experience and where floating over their hospital bed starting at their self. I often have crazy sensations at night as well while simply trying to fall asleep. Lots of people do. That's why bed time is fun. It's like a trip in itself.
Yes. Quite a few people do experience this. Individuals can explain this based on their own personal belief system, whether that is based on science, experience, and/or spiritual beliefs/practices. When you are ready, the answers will come to you. What I can tell you is that your experiences are real and that they may develop and/or intensify. This can be applied scientifically and/or spiritually. E
I don't know about spiritual teachings much but I thought by '3rd eye' they metaphorically mean a heighened state of awareness not an actual mystical extra organ.
I am not sure how you guys open your third eye... I still haven't been able to.. too much stress around me and no peace to isolate myself. .. where do you usually meditate and how are people around you affecting your meditation. The OP says was on his couch but I can barely concentrate at home when I constantly think someone is going to come back from work and ruin my meditation
You need to remove the chemicals, heavy metals, Toxins to cleanse your body first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92qmQFkYILM http://humansarefree.com/2014/10/top-5-steps-to-decalcify-your-pineal.html http://www.wakingtimes.com/2012/12/15/how-to-decalcify-and-detoxifythe-pineal-gland/ You also need to clear subliminal conditioning/programming. Stop watching TV and start Reading. (I would also install flux or a program/app that removes over-time harmful blu-light emitting devices especially after sundown>https://justgetflux.com/ http://authoritynutrition.com/block-blue-light-to-sleep-better/

Whats happening to you is that you are having an awakening or spiritual awakening, if you will Here are some links for more info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHYsUlzR-6E http://theawakenedstate.tumblr.com/theawakening http://www.new-age-of-aquarius.com/age-of-aquarius.html

Breath through it and place your entire awareness in it. You will dissolve the world and everything will erupt into flames. The world will fall away. But this is true with all dhyana practice perhaps. Perhaps not. Meditating on the ajna chakra will bring peace and clarity to your mind and your thoughts. It will increase your ability to clearly discern the arising of things and it will allow you to remove yourself from the ego.
Well said. However it would probably be better to balance all chakras instead of just focusing on the Ajna chakra, Too much can be overwhelming and lead to overdrive/negatives. Balance is Key.
The third eye is a level of awareness. Seeking the "third eye" should be taken with great care. First and foremost, balance and harmony should be top priority. Once balance begins to align within you, awareness comes naturally. The third begins to open in healthy ways. The "third eye" that some people explain as being the tight feeling between your eyes is just a physical reaction. (For the most part.) Instead of seeking your third eye, how about you allow your awareness to come to you that is right for you. The third eye has been mistakingly made into a goal or a gateway to a higher level of consciousness. It is a state of being. Take caution as to what you ask for. It may come true. E
The third eye ties in with the pineal gland, the release of DMT. also known as the minds eye and the seat of the soul. References also go back to Egyptian times with the all seeing eye. But yea, you know what you felt.
I was very skeptical of these things as well, but through many experiences came around. You should, however, beware of focusing only on the development of one particular chakra. You should seek to balance all of them. Do your homework. It can fuck you up if you're unprepared for some things...can throw your shit off. *P.S.-Good development in becoming the observer
Listen, O religious scholar: the One Lord alone is Wondrous; no one can describe Him. He fascinates the angels, the celestial singers and the heavenly musicians; he has strung the three worlds upon His Thread. ||1|| The Unstruck Melody of the Sovereign Lord's Harp vibrates; by His Glance of Grace, we are lovingly attuned to the Sound-current of the Naad. ||1||Pause|| The Tenth Gate of my crown chakra is the distilling fire, and the channels of the Ida and Pingala are the funnels, to pour in and empty out the golden vat. Into that vat, there trickles a gentle stream of the most sublime and pure essence of all distilled essences. ||2|| Something wonderful has happened-the breath has become the cup. In all the three worlds, such a Yogi is unique. What king can compare to him? ||3|| This spiritual wisdom of God, the Supreme Soul, has illuminated my being. Says Kabeer, I am attuned to His Love. All the rest of the world is deluded by doubt, while my mind is intoxicated with the Sublime Essence of the Lord. ||4||3||
Indeed it is...crying out everywhere for understanding...and every-where it Is....so let us have eyes to see.
