Purple tunnel

[Sammie]

I have always wondered why I end up seeing a purple tunnel fading in and out once I have been meditating for a bit or simple relaxed. Does anyone know what it is or what it can be used for?
Had it since 2012 when I started meditating. I also remember when almost asleep dream images fade in or out of it, sometimes messages, pictures and beings. If my consciousness focus I am brought back to only seeing the purple tunnel and I can see the shadows of the image fading away into the purple tunnel.

Off-topic, I can play music instead of seeing images when almost asleep but cannot do both at the same time..?

Hi Sammie, I don't know how it is with anyone else but when I see the tunnel it gives me two options. I can either observe to see what comes through and presents itself or I can go through the tunnel till I get to the other side. Usually there will be one image or movement that will capture my attention and I focus on only that image ignoring anything else. When the images fade follow them.

The thing is that if I focus on it it just seems to continue forever if I am actually focusing on it.

 I see the "purple Tunnel" as a portal to venture through. Move forward with no expectations and see what you can see! 

Portals come in and shapes and sizes. I have used tunnels, geometric shapes, Mandelas, actual Doorways, even Tornados as portals. I hear people often say that they use mirrors. I have never used a mirror before, other than my Scrying Mirror. But my Scrying Mirror was used more for achieving a good trance state, instead of a actual portal that I entered. I could say I was using the Portal to look through while Scrying though.

While using the Throat Breathing technique earlier in my practice, I found that every time I used the technique I was met with the visual of a rotating "Purple Haze". What was strange is that I only saw this Purple Haze during my Throat Breathing attempts, never in any other techniques I used. 

If you focus on it and it keeps continuing, try to draw it closer or try to move into it. I think this "purple tunnel" of your is some kind of Fear test. You need to enter it and see what's on the other side. This could actually be your own "block".

I started seeing Purple Waves washing over me during meditation over 40 years ago. Just pure purple waves... no images or anything else. It started a couple months after I first began a meditation practice. I asked older teachers what they might know about it and I got ambiguous replies that did not help anything. I too have similar questions. What is it? What can it be used for? Is it doing something good/useful?

It still comes when I meditate but it disappears as soon as I begin a projection sequence.

Maybe half year ago I found some stuffs about chakras. I found information about indigo (dark blue) and purple colors. When others did the same as trying to achieve deep meditation or AP for the first time (often first time), chakra frequency musics too; they saw indigo blue or purple colors in their vision.
Indigo is the color of third eye, purple is the crown chakra - they are frequencies too if we see colors like that. Funny if others are saying that chakras are just metaphores or just main energy point in our energy bodies but it is a fact still that if you not believe in any chakra stuffs, still people experience these colors. I did not see these yet, but it could be magical or rather interesting 

The third eye half is more common as I saw, when it is activating like hell under maybe strong visualisation. But it is just a guessing what is what

Well, I can assure you it is not a fear test. I have tried going into it, but it is hard without trying to use irl eyes and maybe I should spend some more time trying to enter it. I actually remember once when I was disconnected from the body going through this tunnel and it became more like a worm-hole and I heard a metallic sound, that was in an OBE like state though. One thing is for sure and that is that it seems to always appear when I am relaxing or disconnecting from "this" world. I can also see it with my eyes open, but I prefer closed.

 Sorry to hi-jack your thread for a minute here Sammy, but I have a question for Robert.

Robert I would enjoy reading more about your "projection sequence". Not to judge it or anything like that, but to see what it is that works for you. I love experimenting anew.

So could you please post it, in another thread though, so as not to interrupt Sammy's thread anymore? Thank You!

Phildan, I agree,  a focus on the Chakras for me that is, seems to lead to more of a color menagerie.

The Throat Breathing technique, also know as Ujjayi Breathing ends in a focus between my two outstretched hands and my 3D eye, which creates a Pyramid. It was one of the earlier techniques I used and I always encountered some kind of spinning vortex while doing it.

I also use a focus on my 3D eye often and find that it also leads to spinning energy vortexes.
