how do you close your third eye?

[amixa]

since my intuition and senses have heightened lately for the most part its been good but it completely messed me up during a final presentation alone with two professors the other day! thank god its a full year course...
it messed me up because i could sense how they were reacting to my thesis.. and not everyone is comfortable with this topic (shamanism, other realities) and it threw me off and i felt like i couldn't talk about it with them because it made them uncomfortable. in the end i did not end up effectively defending my work because of this.

so how can i close my eye without closing it forever.. and then be able to reopen it?

I think more in terms of changing the channel or putting up a filtering shield than I do opening & closing my third eye.

In any performance situation, if you turn your attention to possible judgments, you won't do as well. Rather than focusing on someone else's discomfort or disapproval, tune in to your own inner power and enhance it with source. When I do this, it feels like I'm cranking up the power of my aura. I play horn much better when I do this, whether I'm practicing at home or performing.

Another way to change the channel is to think in term of connecting with your audience. Let go of concerns of whether or not you're successful, since that's back to judgment, and hold the intention of connecting. (In music, I sometimes think in terms of telling a story or communicating an emotion.)

When I set up a filtering shield, I have it extend several feet around me in every direction. I program it to allow in love and highest good only and to reflect all negativity back to it's sender. This shield keeps out a lot of information that I don't want to pick up. If I want to know something in particular, I can always choose to ask about it without inviting its energy into my sphere.

Also, any time you're aware of a negative influence, even if you sense it coming from a person, it a good idea to banish all entities in your energy field that interfere with your highest good. Since they're served by the lowering of your vibration, negative entities can act as a repeater and amplifier of stuff sent by people.

I don't advocate smoking, but if you want to close it off for a few days, you could smoke a cigarette. It closes the central channel. The eye will remain open, but mostly closed allowing you a breather.

Again, just trying to throw in an *option* I know of, up to you to weigh the risks involved.

A heavy dose of reality TV should do.

Thank you for the information. Sounds like a lot of practice is involved!!

Why "close" it? The more information the better. Might be better to work on how to process and use the information instead of allowing it to "throw you off".

As well, in this specific case it should have been fairly easy to foresee their reaction (especially if you know them well enough to guess at their particular belief system proclivities) and to be prepared for that.

Not saying this applies to you, but it always wonders me why people are surprised when they go outside the norm and are looked upon as peculiar. It's like my biker buddies who resent people staring at them when they walk into a place wearing a patch-covered vest, beard, long hair, greasy jeans, etc. It's almost naive.

physicaly it feels like moving the eye towards the back of the head, without turning it back... for me
examine what makes it concentrate, i think this is what makes it move back

to reopen it is the opposite
don't forget the emotions

may want to confront your externally based self esteem? Sure its not normal to have a strong self esteem but neither is being lean in America.
