Question about the third eye.

[HiRes]

So the past two nights I have been attempting to open my third eye by simply focusing on it.
The first night it felt as if massive amounts of energy were flowing though me, I started to tense up and shake.
The second night it was not as intense, but the same energy was felt.
Today I have felt a pressure in my head where my 3rd eye is located, and now I am starting to feel overly energized and restless.

My question is, is all of this normal?

When you start using amounts of energy your body isnt used to you'll get reactions. If the effects are too much then do a bit less or only do it every now an again.

I get anxious if I overwork some of my chakras. And I love working on my chakras so it's annoying having to hold myself back. If I've got a weekend where I dont need to see anybody I'll do some serious energy work knowing I'll be ok by the start of the next week.

Also, it's probably not a good idea to just work on one chakra. That could unbalance you.

Hmm.. So I should start doing an all around chakra exercise ?

My suggestion would be to start with one chakra, than move on to the next.

Yeah, I just meant you dont want to work on your third eye exlusively all the time forever.

The kundalini yoga book I worked from wanted you to work on each chakra for a month before starting on the next.

Hmm, I think that is a good idea because I am sure your body cannot handle opening all of them at once. It might overload and be sore for awhile. >.> you might even explode with energy xD(a joke because I felt like exploding when I first noticed my third eye)

I was told by Dr. Caroline Myss (author, teacher) that my third eye chakra was always open, it's just that I started to consciously see things when I conquered my fears of what I would see. I can tell you, however, that there was a big shift one week to the next after I did some third eye meditations and I've been able to see energy/beings ever since (10 years) so I think it's a combination of both -- being mentally prepared and having the focused intention.

Well 2 days ago i was reading on something.
It suppose to help on the third eye thing and done before sleep.

You have to breath through your nose, only out the mouth if you have to much energy and need to release heat or whatever.

make sure your relaxed before the energy part. I assume you all know how to relax in your own methods 

So breath through your stomach. You have a bigger lung capacity and it helps in multiple ways if you breath through your stomach all the time (ill post the sight, and explain why it helps mabey on a new thread)

But a lil proof it helps is that infants breath through the stomach and they are always full of energy. Also you carry more oxygen so you can breath less in a minute. Toritis breath 4 times a minute and out live us all by a lot due to this.

Anyways breath through stomach, not a fast pace but a kinda slow one, but not to slow where you fight for air. you will know if you are doing it right. And as you do this, look at your third eye with your eyes closed (pointing upwards between and a lil above eyebrows)

Feel the energy going to the outside of your forhead where your 3rd eye is located as you exhale, and feel the energy flow inside your head, to the back of your head as you inhale.

I felt enormous energy in like 20 seconds, and my head got real heavy it felt.
but its good cuz you do this before you go to sleep. i guess its fine to do it other times but i think its most effective before you sleep. ill look up on that site later.

It's a chakra point located between your eye brows and a couple CM up
