Does third eye meditation increase awareness?

[Pernani]

Hello, I've been using a third eye meditation technique since three weeks now about 35min every day,I loved it but I didn't notice any awareness benefits, it mainly makes me feel much more energetic,light and feeling into my body, hell I even catch glimpses of subtle lights and shapes here and there through the day as if I'm hallucinating.

I know I haven't been practicing it all that long but I wanted to ask some of you who may have more experience with this if it actually increases your awareness, and if not I was thinking of only using the second portion of the technique for 20min and the rest of the time (15min) just observing my thoughts, but then again 15min doesn't sound like it'll do much.

Here's a link to the technique

@Pernani  Beware. Balance it. I was obsessed when i first discovered its powers, but that led to my third eye being over active. My dreams become very horrid, creepy, weird, trans like hypnosis. I didn't know if I was awake or asleep, Multiple repeating dreams. Losing touch with reality...

So yeah, make sure you definitely ground yourself with other Chakras, the mulhadara is a good one to balance with third eye.

Thank you for your reply, do you have any good sources about where I can look more into this balancing aspect? Maybe some practices or techniques ? And did it help you with increasing your awareness ?

My bad if I makes this seem like an interview ?

Is third eye anything more then a metaphor for increased intuition?

No idea, I need to educate myself more on the subject, but from my experience I can feel energy flowing through my body and I can concentrate on various parts of my body, it's a really awesome feeling, it sort of makes you feel more alive, fresh and powerful.

Yes, mostly increases ones ability to see truth or see through illusion. Overall Awareness/Understanding is more crown related though. Don't focus too much on one, all must be balanced for optimal awareness/flow.

Here is a nice frequency
