I was lying down concentrating on my third eye area not tired at all and as usual i was seeing a purple circle surrounded by what looked like a mist i was only doing this for abov 2 mins when i had to get up to go downstairs but i had a strong feeling that i had to continue so i laid on the couch and again concentraited on my third eye again all of a sudden i saw lots of people i did not know at the same time i became aware of a feeling of absolute bliss that i had never felt ever in my life and it spread throught my entire body.

That's a very long sentence. I've no idea what's going on either.

Hi, I'm no expert but sounds like you have opened your crown chakra or your third eye is opening. Sounds like your guides wanted you to continue and you had a vision into the spirit world.
I get a tingly bliss feeling when my crown chakra opens.
I have been working on my third eye too and had a vision of a Maori man with black spirals etched into the cheeks of his face sitting in a garden.
Strange cos I have never seen him before.

Keep meditating on your 3rd eye and see what else comes to you
Good luck

Yesterday, I tried meditating for the first time in a while. After a quick read on Chakras, I tried focusing on the Crown Chakra. I kept imagining a lotus opening on my head, but every time I did it a random image of Buddha would pop up! It was kinda weird, lol.

Maybe your situation was a more extreme variation of mine?

Hey guys, can someone please tell me how to open the third eye and how to practice it? I have done astral projection once but i do not know if it is connected somehow? I just know that i can close my eyes and then see the room with my closed eyes...is this the third eye?

Wow....I had this when I was going under anesthetic once. There was so much love...It seemed like a glimpse into a Spirit dimension. And when I woke up from the anesthetic, in the recovery room, it was there again, and I was laughing I felt so happy.

If they used nitrous oxide for your anesthetic that could cause the laughing (they call it "laughing gas" for a reason). Otherwise, you could have astral projected and caught a glimpse of the spirit world/other side/astral plane.

I seem to have the opposite problem. I try meditating on my third eye and/or crown chakra and nothing seems to happen. Either I get distracted or I fall asleep. Any suggestions?

Practice as much as you can. I don't realy class what i do as meditating when i first had a desire to open my third eye i read on the internet somewhere to move your eyes so they are looking towards the space inbetween your eyes just where the brow area is and close your eyes. slow your breathing and just look so i did this and at first there was just a tiny spot of light and it would keep appearing and dis-appearing and i only spent 3-5 minutes doing this then after a week what i'd see is white whirls that looked like mini galaxies this went on for a month then i had what i call a genius thought i used to collect crystals and i remembered that Spectrolite was believed to have spychic properties so i placed a piece on the third eye the next time i concentrated on my third eye area and after a minute i saw a purple circle which is a sign of the third eye opening

I meditate a lot while I'm awake cos I too go to sleep very easily .
You could just try relaxing while doing a mundane job. I get my best messages while ironing...when my body goes into automatic pilot and my mind goes into a relaxed state.

There is a good post here somewhere about third eye meditating. It is a recent one but I can't find it to list it for you .
It explains about the alpha state that our mind goes into when meditating.
Hopefully someone else will remember it and can post it for you.
I found it very useful

You had a temporary opening of your third eye.

The bliss you felt was the feeling of letting go, at least temporarily, of a LOT of resistance that most people hold that prevents them from accessing these higher and faster vibrating vantage points of consciousness.

Sometimes we let go of resistance briefly, but the state is too unfamiliar to hold onto permanently as a default state of consciousness. It has to be practiced regularly to become identified with and "seated" in our conscious awareness.

Thanks for your explaination i have been trying to have that experiance again but other things have been happening instead like seeing more elaberate patterns when i close my eyes and i have been feeling a kind of throbing in my third eye and there feels to be a sensation of a constant gentle vice like grip on my head the strangest sensation i had and it only happened once was when i had fallen asleep i woke up an hour later and i had a sensation of what i can only describe as a nest of very wiggly insects on the surface of my brain at the crown area is this also to do with the third eye?
