third eye and crystals

[Rachelle]

2 questions.


1 - I experienced a strange sensation today. I was at 'work' and in the middle of talking when I felt this tingling sensation directly where my third eye would be - right in between my eyebrows. It was such a specific and concentrated tingling, it distracted me. I've never felt anything like that before. It lasted a little bit, but not that long - I wasn't at liberty to meditate or anything like that since I had my obligations/responsibilities of my job to worry about.

Can anyone tell me what this might mean?


2 - There's a little new-age type shop near where I live, and a couple weeks ago I was drawn there and I bought a few small quartz crystals. I've heard they are apparently good for aiding in astral projection. But does anyone know How? And do quartz crystals need clarifying at all?

Put your quartz crystals under your pillow at night. See what happens. Come to think of it, I always slept with my favorite quartz crystal under my pillow at night during the time I was doing the heaviest astral projecting. Could be coincidence, but it can't hurt.

Tingling third eye area... could be something physical or it could be psychical. Hard to say without feeling it myself.

[Rachelle]

I've been doing that already, actually. I'm not sure what prompted me to do it... I have been, though, for the past week or two.

I doubt that anyone is particularly interested in this, but as it's related to my first post in this thread, I thought I'd write about it here.

That 3rd-eye spot was tingling again quite a bit today, on and off.

Earlier tonight this man who says he's like an energy healer of some kind (a complete stranger - he was actually an actor in a play I saw this evening); he said I was just buzzing like crazy and he tried doing some kind of energy work on me - he said something about how my life was busy and if I took the time to slow down and focus on one thing rather than a lot, than that thing would be so much better for me.

I wonder if these incidents are somehow related...

[Erin Pavlina]

You could be experiencing an awakening in that area. This might be weird, but next time you feel the buzzing feeling in your third eye, touch the quartz crystal to it.

[Rachelle]

Thanks for the suggestion Erin.

It hasn't buzzed/tingled since, however. But I'll let you know if there are any further developments on that front.

There may be too much energy running through your third eye chakra. This can happen when you begin using your intuition or open up your clairvoyance.

It's also the centre of spiritual truth and wisdom, so there can be changes in this energy centre when you awaken your own spiritual wisdom.

If you wanted to rebalance it, you could place amethyst on your third eye and intend for it to rebalance the energy there.

Hi Rachelle.

It definitely sounds like you are experiencing a level of third eye opening, a precursor to psychic awakening.

To try and amplify the opening you could add some amethyst to your already existing crystal collection. One technique is to set your amethyst up, using three pieces, in a triangle on the floor and lay between them for 5-10 minutes.

You could also try to meditate more often (daily) and introduce aromatherapy oils into these meditation sessions. (Or maybe aromatherapy baths.) Lavender and Geranium are good scents for psychic development.

I hope that this helps.

Blessings,
