Is there a difference in unintentionally accumulating energy in a certain area, or just "having it there?" I am questioning the activation of this 3rd eye area, and think it may have been prematurely activated by certain meditations. However, even though the meditations were discontinued, the chakra seems to be progressively becomeing more active. For example, it will become pressurized when I read, and it doesn't seem like I can do anything about it. Maybe it is only a matter of not being able to exert control over the elements, and that is why I can't reduce the pressure. Also, when I try to concentrate and visualize the energy moving into the ground, it only vivifies the head center and makes the pressure more intense! One last question. Recently, my body "learned" how to astral project while taking a light nap. To relate to the aforesaid problems of head pressure, the 3rd eye became intensely active during these projections, and I felt astrally nauseus. My projections aren't really an act of will, but were "learned" indirectly by remaining meditative while falling asleep. Are these practices premature, because I haven't completed step 1? Or have the bodies matured through elemental balancing to the point of being able to project in this way? Thanks, Dustin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
