Pressure On Third Eye

[LaucherJunge]

What do you think about the pressure on the third eye is it just a distraction or is it a sign of awarness?
I already had it like 5 years ago when i first started meditating after 1 week of some meditation i felt it for the first time already which actually was the proof for me that meditation actually does something. I did not really touch meditation after that because i was too lazy and also depressed back than, than 3 years later i started meditating almost every day i had a few phases where i would not meditate for a few days or weeks or where i would do just like 10-15 minutes and there i usually lost the pressure on the third eye when i meditated again. It always comes back when i meditate for like about 20-40 minutes a day for a few days. Well sometimes it randomly appears when i listen really carefully to someone or when i read a really interesting text, listening to bineural beats also makes it appear almost instantly and in meditation it feels like the deeper i go the stronger the pressure gets sometimes it even spreads out pleasantly deeper into different areas of the brain so it is really a hell of a distraction if it really is a distraction after all?

I recently feel tingling around that area. I've done quite a bit if third eye meditation that Prab posted above. But had recently stopped it due to fear of hell.

I had pressure at my forehead for more than a year and I also googled stuff like third eye and whatnot and tried to understand it that way. Based on my direct experience I changed my perspective as follows:

Every time you crave, averse, resist or cling you suppress emotions. Over the course of your life this energy accumulates and forms the dense body you perceive right now. I call it the ego-body or ego-structure. When you start meditating and practicing spiritual techniques you learn to accept things as they are and thereby you start to reverse the process. At a certain point you cleared all your conscious stuff and that is when your unconscious stuff or suppressed stuff starts bubbling up and to be faced and resolved (finally). Your ego-body slowly resolves and for the first time you get the chance to experience your real body underneath the layers and layers of dense ego-structure.

As we, in our current society, put a lot of our focus on thinking, a great deal of our identity is built around our thinking. In our ego-structure that shows as density in our head and especially behind the eyes of forehead as we think that is where our "I" resides. If you start questioning the "I" or practice meditation the ego-body at this part becomes less dense. The remaining tension (often the ego-body can be felt as tension) accumulates into one point and forms a ball which is felt as a pressure at your forehead.

The only way to get rid of that pressure is to dissolve the ego-body fully through diligent serious practice. What will happen before that, is that this ball of pressure starts moving around in your head. It moves away from your awareness as it is unconscious energy and can not survive your awareness. Even with 24/7 (meditation) practice it will take weeks and weeks before this pressure dissolves and it becomes worse before it gets better. The technique that worked the best for me is Vipassana.

In a nutshell: Keep practicing and amp it up. There is no quick fix to that pressure as it is part of your identity. If you can fully let go on every cell of your body, the pressure will be long gone. Don't make the mistake to create a story out of the pressure behind your forehead that influences your "normal life". Keep practicing, don't put too much importance to that pressure and don't make any life-changing decisions if you are in an unstable position.
