Hi all,
I'd like to share my experience with purifications symptoms following DM sessions.
I am currently in the process of getting diagnosed for ADHD. I've always had a hard time focusing on complex tasks for an extended period of time. I am someone who has always zoned out a lot.
Something which happens sometimes during daily activity after DM that is very noticeable is this energy in and around my eyes. I think it might be my third eye opening. I sometimes feel it circulating around the back of my head. I also have similar sensations in the eyes as when you're tired. And when I'm really focused, my eyebrows are pulled towards one another a bit, which I assume is sambhavi mudra happening.
Has anyone been through similar experiences?
P.S.: I feel like I'm experiencing a bit of what Yogani describes here, but not 100% sure. There's definitely energy moving in and around my head at the level of ajna.
quote:
Lesson 277 - Crown, Ajna and Spiritual Intuition
The ajna (third eye) is the main control lever for energy circulation throughout the body. It is the balance point for all that. The crown is not a control lever. It is a "white hole" that will suck us out of ourselves if we let it, with huge energy complications if premature. The heart is an infinite divine love space that will leave us sobbing in a puddle of emotion if we let it. With the ajna we can keep all of this on an even keel and steadily growing without falling hopelessly over any of the cosmic edges. Of course, part of us wants to do that, so it is a balancing act. The ajna is the one thing we can hold onto that grows it all while holding it all together at the same time. The ajna is the safest route to the crown, and, in fact, will energetically merge up into the crown as our development advances. This manifests naturally as sambhavi mudra moves gradually higher over time. In the end, the ajna and crown become one dynamic with two aspects: Energy regulation and earthly expression (ajna) and infinite power flow (crown). This two-in-one combination fuels and regulates the enlightenment process throughout the neurobiology.
Cheers!

Hello qspadone
What you are describing is common, it is a sign your practices are purifying Ajna and opening your shushumna, and nothing to worry about, unless the sensations are too much, uncomfortable, or dividing your attention in real life. That would be a sign to ground and possibly cut back practice a bit.
Opening the third eye can feel really good. After eleven years AYP at times the third eye expands and stretches upward. Just as with any experience, enjoy it and let go any expectation of it happening again. Lean into the bottomless silence whenever you come to your seat. |

Thanks for your reply, Dogboy.
Also, I've been wondering: is there such a thing as overactive or underactive chakras?
I have studied a bit about chakras location and was able to feel pretty much all of them.
I know AYP teaches us not to worry too much about what's under the hood, but I sometimes can't help googling stuff to know more about each individual chakras and how imbalances in them manifest on the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological plans. |

| I am reading a book on subtle bodies and how east and west healings overlap, very interesting and thorough. Knowledge and experience moves you along, and looking under the hood is not forbidden, it just is not needed in the AYP approach to overall purification through simple practices and discipline. That you feel chakras means good things are happening. Knowing about chakras might have assisted that. |

Thanks for that!
Another thing:
Is it normal to become way more aware of your own breath during daily activity, after meditating ? As in at least 50% of the time ?
I'm someone who's barely ever aware of his breath. Even when being physically active, I'm still not that aware of it. But since I started meditating twice a day, I'm much more aware of my breath, and the inhalations are way slower than before. Sometimes my belly expands way out, and it actually makes me kinda self-conscious to walk like that hahaha.
Also, the breath changes location. Sometimes I feel it more in my nose, or in my throat, or in my belly, and sometimes in my chest. I assume this is the purification happening in daily activity with the rise of inner silence in my nervous system.
It is far from uncomfortable, and rather relaxing (I'm someone who is often stiff, and anxious). I can literally feel the physical symptoms from anxiety (I am a very anxious person) being flushed away from my body (muscle stiffness everywhere, tummy pain, dizziness, sore throat...).

Hi qspadone,
Yes, it is quite normal to become more aware of the breath after practising meditation for some time. And it is normal to begin to notice the various effects that the breath can have on the body. The inbreath is generally enlivening and the outbreath is generally calming, as you have noticed. It is even quite normal for the breath to begin to become ecstatic, so that every time we breathe in, the body is filled with ecstasy. The ecstatic sensation is usually stronger at the nostrils. Even the outbreath can create a state of bliss, because it can be so calming that the mind becomes peaceful as a result, and as this sense of peace increases, it is experienced as bliss. |
