Expanding the conscience and mind's eye while awake

[panda0920]

This is something I've recently begun considering, as it has been on mind a lot.

There are times when I'm at school, especially when I'm alone, which is a lot, admittedly. But that does not make my mood, as in, I can be happy, mad, sad, and all of the above.

I'll be sitting there, usually staring either at a wall or a window, and I lose sight of what's around me. Call it what you want, like day dreaming, is how it feels. Or sometimes how I feel in meditation where I'm not entirely "connected" to my body or even when I'm astral projecting.

I begin to start imagining myself jumping out of the body and running, then leaping and flying off. But the whole time, I'm seeing myself do this. I can see my surroundings very clear. Not down to minuscule details, not yet, at least.

I will circle around, then go places and I can see details of the moving cars, buildings. I thought it might just be my mind's eye conjuring up mental images of what I know, so I did it while walking to class and in the mind's eye I suddenly caught a very abnormal, bright color. I shrugged it off as imaginative and I turned the corner and someone was wearing that. I tried it again and once more my results were accurate. I did it repeatedly to test it, only once did I guess wrong. The colors were just easy ones. They were detailed.

I had to stop, and for the reason, because my third eye (mind's) began to hurt. Usually only a pain like this on very focused meditation, yet I was not overly focused and the farther I went from my body in my mind's eye the worst of pain. Like stretching a rubber band a little too far, and after doing it for a while I couldn't "go" even two metres without that same pain, so stopped and it took a couple hours for the full feeling to leave me. I believe if I practice this more, I should be able to see things farther as in actual details that match up at long distances and even the pain will start to subside from practicing it.

So, anyone know of this or had it themselves? It just puzzles me a bit. Also the pain is not exactly pain, if you know what I mean? It's not something that feels so unbearable or too dangerous to continue with.

I have been learning all this weekend about things I had no clue about.. (well, some clue) which is in relation to what your describing.. if no one can answers your question.. then give me a few days to answer.. and I'll see if I can fill in all this new information.. I did not have before

Panda,

Are you practising chakra work, while you are expanding your psychic eyes??

when you are opening your third eye, you are also expanding your crown chakra and brow chakra. If and when you learn to effectively put these chakras back where they belong after such an experience..the pain will not exist for you during these times...at least not as often or as intense.

I think that what you are explaining is the "pressure" feeling that comes from a blockage or overextended chakra. I used to experience this myself. Chakra work really seemed to help.

Blessings,
Rebecca

Blockage doesn't sound right. From the description, it really sounds more like "overextended" or "overexerted". So practice should cure this eventually.

First off, thanks for the replies.

Second, I have done chakra work before and felt the physical effects, usually, right off the back. My third eye is my most active chakra naturally, because of who I am.

I taught myself how to use, by force, though. I plan on practicing this to get rid of that "pain". Though, it still is interesting that I'm able to see things, just colors right now, that go with what I see next.

So, is it possible to train this with work to eventually seeing distances away in a much clearer way?

It may be, but "forcing" isn't the right way with the best results. As a matter of fact, you may find it actually hinders your development as the things we try to force into our lives are the oney we almost inadvertently push away.
