Third eye a distraction or an opening ?

[Trayambakam]

After an online retreat, I opened up my 'third eye chakra'. 

I can consciously breathe into this space, expanding and intensifying.  

I feel I'm close to my first non-dual breakthrough, this opening has brought me to thought-free meditation. 

I'm between thoughts that this third eye sensation is a distraction vs an opening I should deepen into. 

I'm hoping someone reading will know if either of these is true?

Thanks

It’s a distraction if you get distracted by it

 

Try to remove all labels you assign to it, like it’s name, function, whether it’s a help or a hindrance, etc. Just experience it as it is and you’ll know whether to deepen it or leave it alone.

Thought says sensation is a distraction, thought says sensation is good or bad. Sensation never says that.

Today the label became magnet. Right or wrong the label of magnet has put me at peace with it.

Perfect, thank you

If it’s bringing thoughtless meditation, then it’s probably going to help you realize nonduality.
