(Continued from another thread )

My third eye is extremely sensitive, so I keep it mostly closed. When I open it too far, I get really bad headaches and just weird sensations. In fact, just thinking about it now (not even really concentrating on it!) is giving me a bit of a headache and a throbbing in the middle of my forehead. As a result, my clairvoyance is very "dim" (rather like looking through squinted eyes).

Happily, I'm quite empathic and highly clairsentient, plus somewhat clairaudient, so I don't need the clairvoyance all that much, HOWEVER, I'm interested to know if there are ways to make a Third Eye more comfortable being open? I don't believe there's any blockage at all (and clairvoyants and healers have never noted any problems there), but that it's just super sensitive.

As a coincidence - or maybe not - I also have very sensitive physical eyes and I have to wear sunglasses when I go outside, even on cloudy days, because if I don't, I get headaches. The headaches I get and the uncomfortable sensation of being in bright light is very similar to what I feel when I open my Third Eye very far, which is why I think it's a sensitivity problem.

Anyway, thoughts and input welcome, as usual.

The Clairvision School in Australia suggests centering in your heart chakra and receiving input from the third eye through the heart chakra if you find yourself overly affected by working directly with the third eye.

I appear to do that instinctively, which is why I'm so acutely clairsentient (at least, I think that's why I am). I'm definitely centered in the heart chakra.

[Caursedus]

How is your navel chakra? Or your base, if you have to go even farther down to become more grounded?

[diegogo]

Base is okay these days. Used to be very blocked (lots and lots of security/safety issues!) but it's pretty solid now. Navel is very strong these days, as well. (Lots of healing in the past year or so ).

[Caursedus]

Focus from the chakra where you feel the most centered and grounded and use the third eye through that chakra.

[diegogo]

Hmm. Okay. That sounds like a plan. Will take a bit of practice, but this sounds entirely feasable. Thank you.

[ROYMANgo]

I'd really like to hear how these techniques work for you, once you've tried them a bit.

Did a search on the forum and found this old thread. I had a vague recollection of having participated in it (I did remember Tom's excellent advice about chanelling through a different chakra), but I was surprised to find the thread, nonetheless.

This afternoon, for no reason that I can discern (other than having been mixing essential oils, at least one of which is associated with spiritual awakening - frankincense, in case you wonder), my third eye has started to throb very noticeably. I don't think it's anything physical (I am prone to headaches, but never in the middle of my forehead!). I can't say that my clairvoyance is particularly better or worse. All I am aware of is that the third eye is throbbing very, very noticeably.

On a whim, I put some of the oil mixture I was working with on it, and it seems to have had some effect (the throbbing is more diffuse now, less concentrated, like widening the shutter on a lighting rig), but I still have no idea what (if anything) it means.

I'm rather puzzled by this one. If there was an increase in clairvoyance to accompany this, I'd be better able to work it out, but it seems to be nothing but the throbbing (not painful, but not especially comfortable, and somewhat distracting).

If you are getting other effects like sensitivity to light or nausea, you may be getting migraines. It could be helpful to read about them and decide. They are really weird headaches and they tend to be different than the usual stress headache or third eye headache. Cluster headaches are another possibility. I think I've had a couple of migraines recently, even though I haven't been to a doctor yet to confirm this.

Oh, I know the symptoms of those. I haven't got a migraine, or even a headache.

I do get tension headaches (caused by uneven muscle tension in the scalp), and those can last for days, but this is completely different. I'm also familiar with cluster headaches, and it's not that, either.

The sensation of a strobing third eye is still present, though it's muted now.

[VemyhemiHef]

I can't believe I didn't participate in this thread earlier. I must have been on vacation.
Having a very sensitive third eye myself, I have found that when I want to work on my clairvoyance and use energy work, using water energy (imagine pouring a bucket of water inside your crown chakra and having it run through your third eye cooling and refreshing the area) does both jobs- it cools and refreshes the area and puts the attention on the area- so it's a benign stimulation, and it doesn't give me the headaches that I'd get using more conventional methods.

[diegogo]

I've just confirmed that it's definitely related to the essential oils. Which one, I'm not sure, since I work with blends (make them, myself), but I strongly suspect it's the Frankinsense. Frankinsense has a long association with spirituality and with psychic ability.

I'm kind of surprised, actually. I know the claims with regard to essential oils, and while I've tried to be careful (some can irritate the skin or raise blood pressure, for example), I take the properties with a grain of salt...

I'll have to experiment a little more to narrow it down to precisely which oil is causing my third eye to throb (it's not a headache, though it is a very noticeable sensation), but I'm betting on the Frankinsense.

[enactolaelant]

no offense intended, but have you removed the 'beam'?

what is the 'beam'?

jane austen wrote a book titled in what is this 'beam'.

humanly we all have this beam, and seeing through it we don't realize it's presense, until such time as our eye would strain to have sight through what our physical eyes yet maintain as 'real'.

individual freedom of will is paramount, even superceding the greater will which would see through us non-mysteriously having true sight upon all in our stead, for us as the individual for navigational support on our very personal journey, yet impressive of the greater shared kourney as one humanity being.

so, the objective is to remove the subjectivity that is so prevalent in our assumed life-ideation through social conditioning and set cultural behaviors. for the open heart to have this unstrained sight the mind must be opened through one operative turning their vision inward introspectively, to meet nigh unto nigh, in the parity of equal balanced ground.

so it is an issue of rightness of grounding, of what is one rooted within while not knowing of this rootedness. this we place upon the starined eye, listening for that which would in-form us, as if light straining to reach into our unknown shadows; shadows of which are much fear appropriated to by our reluctant fervor to deny and avoid.

so, we have to release ourselves to this true sight, as it is our ill-begotten tendency to deny and run that is the 'strain'.

got to go...

Tim, try as I might, I don't understand your post.

Are you saying I'm too opinionated and that it's somehow causing my third eye to strobe? Or some other thing that I'm missing? I don't get you at all.

By the way, the strobing of the third eye isn't painful (mentioned that further up in the thread). It's like a sort of energy generator that has been "switched on", and I can feel it. It doesn't lead to a headache, and it's entirely unrelated to tension headaches (which I get in the lower rear part of the left side of my head, due to muscle spasm and tightening in the neck and the base of the skull), and not related to migraine (which I only get very rarely; haven't worked out the trigger but I suspect it's diet-related).

[diegogo]

Just a follow up. Some weeks after the unusual "strobing" or "throbbing", I started to experience much expanded awareness, in that I can "see" things I couldn't see previously. Threads that were once not clear to me now present themselves in a picture tapestry, to use a metaphor (this is EXTREMELY difficult to describe, so I'm doing what I can to communicate it). I can see things about people, about their "stories", about my own "story", about events in the world around me, and so on. All I need to do is focus, and it becomes clear to me (and sometimes I see without even having to focus; I just look at something, and see the underlying patterns and design, or I look at a pattern and see the bigger picture).

Not sure it actually had anything to do with frankincense, though that oil is very much associated with spirituality, spiritual awakening, etc. Possibly, the use of frankincense was a symbolic catalyst. Certainly, I'm now seeing that pretty much everything is symbolic in one way or another (hard to explain that one; essentially, everything is a symbol, a thoughtform).

Pretty cool, anyway.

[enactolaelant]

CPW,

yeah, pretty cool!

now that you got it, there is nothing more to get.

mirrored aviators for ya, can't go around having yourself taken away.

I'm very thankful that I developed a habit of keeping my thoughts to myself (most of the time, anyway) and tried to cultivate tact, prior to some of the spiritual awakenings and openings of awareness I've experienced. If I didn't have those filters in place and I were to just come out and say all the things I see and perceive about people and their stories (by stories, I mean the stories they tell themselves about themselves, their lives, and other people), I'd be pissing people off right, left, and centre. Happily, I do appreciate that most people really do NOT want to know anything other than what they want to know, and I feel absolutely no need to share all or even most of my thoughts.

As I said, I'm really, really pleased that these filters and habits of circumspection were in place prior to this kind of insight ability. (There's my shades. You can look at people when you're wearing them, and they can't tell where you're looking. Good metaphor.)

Should also note that this is in effect for myself and my own stories, too, not just other peoples'. It's harder to see yourself, but it's doable, and if you're open to seeing, it's not too terribly difficult. Looking at myself and my own stories and story of my life is just as clear. I'm used to that by now, but it's still brought up a bunch of stuff I've had to deal with and sort through and put to rest.

metaphor mostly, yet literal as well. i've met some predatorial doozys who've come straight to me because they saw me seeing them.

when you pray, "ask and you shall receive", for there is the only 'insight' upon one's self unknowing of one's self. and like you say, it is in your own stories, they meshed with age old stories, these two together reveal you 'in it', as opposed to age old stories seeming to not be about you and thereby passed over. ahhhh...'rest', my god it is hard to hold on to, but realize that this 'rest' is ever with you, whether you sense it or not, holding you in it.

"The world is anew to us every morning - this is God's gift; and every man [each in every of one] should believe that he [he/she] is reborn each day." Baal Shem Tov

if then, God gifts every day, then surely God is with each one in and of every day.

this understanding is one's rest in the receiving of it as the day alone, without yesterday or tomorrow in it.

'stuff' brought up is good, sifting through it is good, just see it as not you, just stuff that in the specific day revealed itself merely because you in your restful readiness had the sight to look upon it toward the finishing touch (put to rest). physician heal thyself

"It is not necessary to "place" oneself in Godliness, but only to realize that everything is subsumed in the Divine Light." BeShT

"For oneself, one must always maintain a critical eye; for others, never." BeShT

ok enough preaching i reckon.

in addition...

well...i forgot to mention that when one's personal story is seen and related in and with the age old story, this is what is called "My Torah". therefore it is written as exclamation to God, "Forsake me, but keep My Torah!". for you see, this "My Torah" is that which binds one of man with God; God being no respector of persons (me). "Those who seek Me will find Me". Prov. 8:17

God is both concealed and revealed in the Torah, yet it is through this "My Torah" which in the Mutual understanding is the transformation of being which having within been concealed is now revealed in fulness of Human expression.
