A fun experement

[Alaskans]

EDIT: On second thought, don't do this, it was good for me but I have a feeling alot of people will fall in some stinging nettle or devils club or worse.

I recently did an interesting experiment. I was noticing that I could feel things near my face (in particular my crown/3rd eye chakra felt pressure). I wasn't totally happy turning off the lights, closing my eyes and navigating my house, (maybe my subconscious memorized the rooms?). Then I got an idea, I wrapped a cloth around my head (not too tight, or its hard to feel your chakra) I went hiking through the woods and over the mountain behind my house! I was surprised, I could locate 99% of the trees with perfect accurately within a few feet. When I hiked back down I took off the cloth when I got near my house and I actually knew where I was better without using my physical eyes I dont recommend it to someone that isnt confident, but it was great exercise for me (in more than one way   )

Alaskans, try this in streets. I did, and boy it was fun! I didn't bump into anyone; however, any time someone went by me (probably thinking "hey, a new freak in the town!"), I felt almost hit by foreign energies and had to stop to regain sense of space.

Only problem is that you can really hurt yourself with this haha....

Like, "oh, wait, what's that strange energy coming so fast towards me?..." /crash//hit/ouch/ouch/// Doh, it was a bus....

I did this one morning when I was eating my cereal, I closed my eyes and thought I saw my hand through my eyelids while wide awake. I tried going outside blindfolded and went to the square, but with all the fuss outside I wasn't successful making it happen again.

lmao.. metaphysics joke, thats one for the books 

I could see how a city would be too noisy in more than one way to do it.

You might have been seeing some light through your eyelids, however, even with all light totally blocked off you can possibly see your hand (although blocking off light means blocking off other spectrums of energy). What you can do is 'look' for your hand in almost pitch black (you might need a tiny amount of light to know where to focus.) I was able to see my ethereal aura quite well this way (I made a ball of light in my palm to make sure it was aura). It has to do with auras but is sort of related to seeing blind.

When I feel something in front of me I dont try looking with my eyes, I 'reach out' my third eye area, the closer something is to my face the more pressure I feel. You might be able to see instead of feel people/objects at a distance with a blindfold, but I cant see farther than a few inches, although trying to might help cultivate a sense or two.

That is really cool. So you just knew where things were, you were not "seeing" them?

[Battousai]

how exaclly does this work? must your brow chakra be open first or what?
I know for a fact if i had to do that i would get run over or get lost.. how could/would
you go about increasing your senses in such a way?
