If you have come to his article because you have experienced either of the sensations referred to in the title and you were worried about them, the first thing to know is that they are perfectly natural. The trail blazing OBE researcher Robert Monroe spontaneously began experiencing unusual vibrations when he laid down to rest or sleep. He spent some time worrying about his health, both physical and mental, until he realized that the vibrations simply related to the process of separation from his physical body. If you are in that position, you can stop worrying and start exploring the subtle dimensions of life that these sensations relate to.
I started meditating without any desire to explore multidimensionality. I didn’t even realize life was multidimensional. I just wanted to calm my mind. Yet within a very short period of time I experienced vibrations all over my body while in meditation, and developed a pulsation around my third eye that persisted even when I was just going about my daily business. Eventually I came to understand that both those sensations relate to our energetic body. This body is comprised of the energy Eastern traditions refer to as Chi / Qui / Ki. It permeates our physical body, and extends just a bit beyond the limits of our skin. It comprises a complex system that includes channels, like the veins in our body, and distribution or circulation centers known as chakras. Like air this energy is essential to our survival, it is our life force. It has been given a range of English names such as vital energy and etheric energy; in conscientiology it is called bioenergy, the energy of life. Because it is so much subtler than our physical body, we are rarely aware of this part of us. But when we become still and tune into it, or when we take actions to move and develop that body, then we can start to perceive it in a range of ways, including as intense vibrations and pulsations, or subtle tinglings and pinpricks. When I started to study conscientiology, I learned a technique by which to deliberately induce the vibrational state even when I wasn’t meditating. This technique, called the closed circulation of energy, is essentially an exercise of the mind and involves mentally inducing ever-accelerating movement of the energetic body. You start at the top of your head and move the energy all the way down to your feet before returning back to the top, continuing and accelerating that cycle until reaching the vibrational state (you can find a nice illustration of this here). You can do this while laying in your bed, sitting in a restaurant or standing in a cue. I have now practiced this technique for years. Throughout that period my third eye kept pulsating most of time, regardless as to whether I was doing the closed circulation regularly or not. I could be sitting at my desk working, playing in the park with my kids or practicing a meditation, the pulsation of energy around my third eye remained an almost constant companion. Initially I thought it was something really significant, an opening of clairvoyance for example and that any time soon I would become permanently attuned to non-physical dimensions. But a decade and a half later it appears that these pulsations have nothing to do with clairvoyance, and my abilities in that regard remain as haphazard as they ever were. However, I have recently begun to gain a new appreciation of the role of the third eye chakra in our wider energetic system. A meditation technique taught by the Clairvision School works very deliberately with the third-eye chakra, using it as a focus point in exploring our inner world of consciousness. In the course of my still fledgling studies of the Clairvision School’s approach, I decided to combine the focus on the third-eye with the deliberate induction of the vibrational state. Instead of moving energy up and down through my energetic system in the broad sweep of the closed circulation of energies, I have started focusing my full awareness on the pulsations of my third-eye chakra and then extending that pulsation throughout my energetic body. It appears to be a very effective way of inducing the vibrational state. Before long I start to perceive the pulsation in the crown chakra at the top of my head, and the planto-chakras at the centers of my feet and then my entire energetic system enters a subtle but tangible vibrational state. The third-eye chakra has become a switch with which to crank up the volume of the whole energetic body. And if you are wondering why you may want to do that, there are many reasons. If you are an energetically sensitive person, the vibrational state is an excellent technique to balance yourself when you have to deal with dense or challenging environments. It is a technique that helps you reclaim your energetic space and thereby also your mental and emotional space. If you are pursuing out-of-body travels, inducing the vibrational state while lying down in a relaxed position can cause the separation of your subtle psychosoma (astral body) from the physical body. And if you are interested in working more closely with non-physical helpers, regular vibrational states will help you develop an energetic micro-climate in which helpers can provide greater assistance to both physical and non-physical people in need who cross your path. So if you are already experiencing the subtle sensations of your energetic body I encourage you to explore and develop them. And if all of this seems very abstract to you because you don’t think you have ever experienced any of the things I am talking about, but you are still reading this, I encourage you to try working with your energy and experience it for yourself.

I did a guided chakra meditation for the first time and when i started to cleanse my third eye chakra i had vibrations run like electricity through my body and my energy felt as though it was lifting or becoming lighter. Is this the beginning stages of astral projrction?

When I meditate, I feel pulsation in my third eye. Now when I lay my hands on a part of my body I feel pulsation in my third eye and energy going through my hands and warm energy going to the part of the body I touch, and I'm not attuned to reiki. I pray alot and meditate and I've been praying for healing. Could it be a gift from the Divine or could it be my subtle body going through changes?

Hi Tangie, thank you for your comment. Feeling pulsations in your third eye, and energy going through your hands and to your body where you touch it is very natural. When you pray a lot and meditate you naturally become more sensitive to those subtle energies and the sensations they generate. With time you may experience other things, like perceiving non-physical people who are around you as you meditate. And as you practice more your subtle body does change, because the energy flows more freely and strongly as you clear old emotional or mental blocks and deepen your connection with the Divine / Spirit / Ultimate Being.

Hi Sarah, I was just browsing around and was drawn to your comment. I think you've found your twin flame! That is truly amazing, and I wish you many, many blessings. Meditation has been life changing for me as well, and I've gone through some different iterations of it. I feel pulsing in my third eye throughout my day sometimes, and especially when meditating, or around metaphysical people or objects (like crystals).

That was a very interesting read and what a joy to see so many people sharing their experiences. I've felt energy flow/ tingling feelings in the palms of my hands for years (it went away for some years interim when I shied away from my spiritual side), and never knew what it was. Because I was brought up in the catholic way, people were telling me it was "invisible stigmata", which I now know it is not. I've also, since beginning a journey into meditation and spiritual mindfulness, begun feeling energy pulsing in my third eye, sometimes my crown too, and even at the bottom of my feet (on days I feel more grounded).

Hey Shoshana, thank you for sharing your experience here. I really appreciated hearing how you had to become clear on distinguishing what was really happening to you from the cultural beliefs that you grew up in, because that is a struggle so many of us go through. What I mean by non-physical helpers is consciousnesses ("spirits") who currently do not have a physical body and who are committed to assistance, both to us in this physical dimension and to unwell extraphysical consciousnesses who are still attached to this dimension or are stuck in pathological extraphysical dimensions that are closely linked to the physical dimension. There are different kinds of helpers. Some are closely linked to an individual and assist them over their life time. Others provide support around particular activities. For example, there are often dedicated teams of helpers that support us during different evolutionary workshops or practices. Or as you start to do a certain kind of assistance activity, like your hands on healing, a new extraphysical helper may team up with you. Often we are not very aware of this cooperation, but as we tune in we can connect with the helpers, which I usually find very reassuring and inspiring.

Hi, I am new to the wiccan thing, but, my third eye has been open since i was born. Only recently though, have i been having these pulsations around it. I have been also having ruins appear on my arms and i dont understand what is going on. My friend has been, sort of, my teacher with this, and he doesnt know what they mean either. Yesterday, my third eye just, burning, i guess, not really pulsating, and it made me really nauseated. Does this usually happen?

Hi Brandon, I don't know a lot about Wicca, but what you describe reminds me of my intense early period of getting into different spiritual movements and having very powerful and sometimes frightening experiences. I recall various times having a burning third eye, to the point that it was really uncomfortable and yes even nauseating. The way I understand it now is that some of us seem to go through a period of activating and clearing out our energetic body and connecting or being influenced by our own karmic past which surfaces in intense experiences ... in my case that was with Buddhist and shamanic visions, dreams and multi-sensory memories, and in yours it may be the Wiccan runes. I'd say, be gentle with yourself and take time to just be with the energy sensations and anything else that comes up. I found that even when the sensations were unpleasant I usually had the sense that it was part of a positive process. If that's the case for you I'd trust that sense and go with it. If something about it does not feel right, I'd suggest listening to that also and changing your practices or influences.

Hey Chris, thanks for your comment. As far as I can tell a regular awareness of the pulsating around the third-eye chakra basically suggests that your energetic body is active. Energies are flowing as they should. I don't know why so many of us perceive that particular chakra so strongly. I have gone through periods where other chakras were similarly noticeable (especially the heart and spleen chakras at different times), but the sensations around the third-eye has been a constant companion for many years now. To me it serves as a reminder of my energetic body, especially when I am in stressful situations where I could forget about that side of life. And like I say in the article, it serves as a focus to increase the vibrations of the whole energetic body. In terms of moving further that's where I would put my focus - check out the link to the vibrational state exercise that I posted in the article and practice that technique - and also try getting to the vibrational state by focusing on your third eye as I discuss in the article. I'd encourage you to do it regularly throughout your day for a few weeks and see what happens. Another good use of the third-eye chakra is to make it your focus of awareness as you lie down to go to sleep. In my experience that can help induce OBEs. Good luck and feel free to let us know how you go!

Hey Kimlan, can you say a bit more about the knock or blow you felt to your forehead? The two possibilities that come to mind are a. It was caused by your own energetic processes, which are not dependent on us meditating or doing anything particular, or b. It was a non-physical person trying to get your attention. I have a sense that you already have a pretty good idea which of the two it was.

Hello, I have searched everywhere for answers and I think I have finally found it. So thank you so much for that. In my case ever since I have been trying to connect more spiritually. Every time I close my eyes and focus, it could even take 2 seconds. My entire body is overwhelmed with energy. Kind of like the feeling of being watched, but warm and safe. It's hard to explain. Anyways, I am 17 years old and am wondering how far can I go with this? and what are some steps that I should take to try and "achieve" something out of it. I would like to speak to my guides, astral project, and mainly find out who I am. Not my physical self and what my ego has made me, but my actual spiritual self who chose this body. If that makes any sense.

Hi Zack, that makes a lot of sense. Asking ourselves the question “Who am I?” is actually a very serious practice in Hinduism and Buddhism. And if you keep going with that - like really mediate on it - it’s a powerful tool to help you connect with your consciousness beyond all the labels and constructs of our current life.

Hi Kaitlynn, the feelings we have when we start tuning into the energetic dimension can vary a lot from person to person and from time to time. Feeling your head - or even your whole body - as huge is certainly a common experience. There are lots of "weird" feelings to be had, and the more you pursue them the less weird they will be as you become more familiar with that subtle dimension of life.

Hello I started meditating for a couple weeks now I started Because I wanted to ask my Guides and Angles there names how many do I have & to show me my past lives also to communicate with any loved ones who are around me. I then stated to feel like I was floating some times and then I would get vivid dreams that I wrote down just in case they are past lives of mine. No signs yet of names or how many I have around me. Then I just recently went on YouTube to some music to open my 3rd eye so I can fully see answers to everything I want to know I started to feel like I was falling asleep and both hands were feeling tingling maybe vibrating I can see white lights shooting like stars and black circles moving fast and then my phone went dead after that I had a slight headache. Am I doing the right practices to open up and see my Guides. I always have my candle lit and my paper and pen writing what I want to know. Any more suggestions I just started a About 2 months. Thank you

Hi Kim! Thank you for all the info. Last night I had a very vivid dream and in the dream I got angry and at the same time I spoke, my body pushed a very powerful energy through my third eye, like if I had powers and then my Third eye started vibrating so strongly in repeated similar pattern and I started watching multiple colors like strong shots of lights mostly through my left eye, that left me with no energy, after that I woke up so impressed of what I experienced in my third eye area and started to google it. But I don’t find the relation between the dream and the third eye vibration, my dream didn’t seem high, more mundane than elevated. I really appreciate any guide. Thank you.

Hi Stephania, that sounds like a very impactful dream. Intense psychic experiences can arise in the most "mundane" moments as they are really just part of life. I don't know the context of the dream, but it sounds like it had quite an emotional charge that ultimately connected you with your own inner energy centre. I think if this experience guides you to exploring and connecting with your third eye more intimately it may have served its purpose. I definitely encourage you to spend some time doing meditations or energy exercises focused on the third eye and see if you can deepen you experience of your whole energy system that way.

Hi Sam, thanks for sharing your experience. I have not heard of exactly what you describe, but it sounds related to something that has happened to me quite a few times. When I fall asleep I will often put my attention in the area of the pineal gland / third eye and on a number of occasion I have been jolted back to physical awareness by a bright light, as if someone had turned the light on in the room but “inside” my head and the sense of an electric charge at the third eye. I have not had visions like you describe though and I wasn’t fully asleep at the time. But I suspect it is the same kind of extraphysical energy impacting on us.

I experienced the Blue Pearl of my Higher Consciousness only a couple months ago - after sensing my Crown and Third-eye were pressured and vibratory crying for the bubble to burst. It was so smooth - seamless - a gentle blue light settle from my crown to the space behind my eyes and deep in my brain stem. I felt an utter calmness - a oneness - a unity I cannot describe. And then I had to drive home and nearly forgot about it until then next day. I have been yearning to experience it, again. I think tonight might be the night. I did it the way you described, only, I was working with a white and blue light circling my body.....most likely prana. I am only just starting to comprehend the energetic body through study and breathwork...

Thanks for sharing your experience Ana. Breathwork is a powerful tool that I have found can reliably help me get to the calmness of unity consciousness. In the long run my focus is to be able to manage the ups and downs of life while being connected to the peace of that consciousness and for that I find will based energy movement to be invaluable. There are so many different ways to access our energy depending on the circumstances. It is exciting that you have embarked on this learning.
