Soothing sensation between eyebrows

Yoga Discussion General Yoga
#1

Hi,

During certain yogic procedures I feel very nice soothing tingling
sensation in the middle of my forehead (between two eyebrows).
This sensation seems to be more active when I close my eyes.
This feels very nice as if it should not stop. This feeling is such
that there is sobe object inserted in the middle section of my
forehead. This feeling is very subtle yet prominent and feels
toxicating. At the time of writing this thread I am under this
very intoxicated state. This is very comfortable sensation and
it is like someone is caressing my brain within very lightly.

The intensity of this feeling keeps varying. But surely I feel
it during the practice of certain yogic techniques (pranayamas).

Long back when I used to practise gayatri mantra chanting
that time also I would experience similar sensation between
my eyebrows. And even after finishing the chanting the sensation
would linger on for quite some time. An interesting fact is that
even when I would chant mentally still I would get this sensation.

Is it purely physical phenomenon? Or it has anything to do with
yoga practice? What is exactly happening here?

Thanks,
Deepak

In my opinion you have succeeded, to a certain extent, in activating the third eye.

This is something deep. Only a highly qualified spiritual teacher might explain it to you.

I have read it in detail in Yogananda, but this does not qualify me to explain it to others.

iam also feeling little sensation between two eyebrows. it started 4/5 months ago, i dont know why this had happened. Every time i feel this sensation i get an inner feeling that some one is reading my mind or keeping an eye on me.

Hi I thought you may find this useful

At the centre of the forehead between the eyebrows you may get a sense of pressure, pulsing. At first you may feel absolutely nothing. You may start to see (with your eyes closed) lights and colors, flashes or light, tunnels, vortexes. In the beginning it can be quite strange, a bit scary. With practice and use it will become more and more apparent that you are using your Third Eye.

Kind Regards Kareng
I found this…

The ajna chakra is found between the eyebrows in the center of the forehead while being located in the mid-brain on top of the spinal cord. A center with two petals represents the ajna chakra. This center is known as the agnya is located where the two optic nerves intersect in the brain. This center accommodates the pineal and pituitary glands. This manifests itself as the ego and superego within each of us. An assortment of duality is represented by these two petals, masculine and feminine, the ego and the spirit, the reasoning and the intuitive minds, the ida and the pingala and the pineal and pituitary. It is at this point that all dualities unite. The yoni and female energy as well at the linga and male energy is found in the triangle of this chakra. The linga of the first chakra is black and this one is white. The ‘bhrumadhya’ is the trigger point of the ajna and is positioned at the centre of the eyebrow. This is an essential point for practicing concentration, meditation and visualization. Many modern Indian women actually practice ajna chakra meditation without realizing it. This results from wearing a colorful decorative dot in the middle of the forehead and is called a bindi. Originally it provided continual stimulation of the ajna chakra as a physical trigger point. The color of this chakra is indigo and the beej mantra associated with it is the primordial sound of OM.

When I read this it answered a question I have pondered about. When I am in a third eye state I have been responded to as if I were a man…

holy crap i know what you mean with the vortexes and stuff… huh its like thers a huge galaxy of colored boxes or something… it feels like you travel through time.

i belive though about what you said about female and male spirit…(alright check this out) you said you felt like a man… alright maybe a soul is one gender, u can say… and our bodies pick up the intructions that are in our DNA and make us act girly or manley… i believe testostorone or any homone only changes the mind and not the soul… the soul controls the mind… and the mind to the body… maybe when u accept ur identiy as the person isnside the body rather than the body u feel manley…

maybe that why theirs Fag*ts haha

Deepak,

All early successes in Yoga require your own introspection, a kind of a quality or reality check. Yoga practice tames our mind, but it is not a docile animal. It does rebel, try fasting and it will give you abnormal hunger pangs, it will provide you with hundreds of “genuine” excuses to skip the practice for a day and so on. When you persist, mind plays more devious tricks. It creates make-believe achievements so that you will feel complacent and slack. It brings in from all our reading and listening, anticipation of spiritual successes. We need to guard against it.

The way to evaluate progress in Yoga is to measure the degree of change that has occurred in your behavior, and views. The proverbial “third eye” is no organ and does nothing on the physical plane. Skin sensations, muscle twitching, sense of movement inside etc are often caused by different vayus, activated by Yoga practice. The third eye is not felt physically, but offers a world-view so astonishingly different that you gain deeper insight. Space doesn’t remain a void you can see it pulsating with life. Inert objects become fluid. Most achivement on the Yoga path are designed to help further practice and that change is what we have to look for.

What you are experiencing could very well be a forerunner of deeper and profound changes. It will much more exciting to wait for them.
