Overactive Third Eye | Symptoms And Side Effects
An overactive third eye chakra can cause intense psychological and physical anguish. It leads to sensory overload and leaves you overstrained.
When there is hyperactivity in the centres where this critical chakra is located, you might feel flooded with surplus information.
You might also have hallucinations and visions of a dimension you have no familiarity with.
Sensory imbalance as a result of a hyper third eye chakra can be immensely distressing if you’re not grounded properly.
Symptoms of Overactive Third Eye Chakra
Delusions and Hallucinations
Losing grip with reality is one of the most frequent signs of an overactive third eye chakra.
You might feel trapped in a fantastical world, where every structure and design defies reason and logic. People have also reported visualising terrifying images of creatures and places.
These visualisations have brought forth anxiety, apprehensions, a perpetual state of trepidation, and sensory imbalance.
Surplus Misinformation
A constant stream of thoughts and information tires you to the point of mental exhaustion. This surplus information can cause indecision, inability to target creative thought for constructive purposes and lack of concentration. Most of all, it can trap you in a surreal world where you are constantly bombarded with misinformation.
Physical Symptoms
Headaches, Insomnia, Nausea, Memory loss, optical defects and mental disorders are all associated mainly with an overactive third eye chakra.
Third Eye Pressure: What does it mean?
Pressure on the third eye can mean one thing and one thing only. And that is awakening. When your third eye opens, tingles or palpitates like a throbbing heart, it means that your third eye is starting to vibrate at a higher intensity.
Also formerly known as the brow chakra or the sixth chakra, the third eye chakra regulates your gut instincts, wild hunches and your intuition.
When your third eye twitches, it means that it is opening to raise your vibration, and in turn helping you to see the world more vividly.
After it completely awakens, you’ll be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s not. Your perceptions about the world and life itself will completely change.
You will start to give importance to things that are of spiritual significance rather than materialistic value because you’re able to see right from wrong.
Third Eye Opening Side Effects
Sensory Overload
The Third eye opens the door to several new spiritual dimensions. For some people, the information contained in these spiritual realms is hard to process all at once and may cause sensory overload.
So, be aware before awakening your third eye, because it’s overburdening for someone who is not ready to plunge into the world of spirituality.
Spiritual Entrapment
When you stumble across a new world, which is entirely different from the real world, you become infatuated with it. This severely affects your relationships, social life, and real-life progress.
You become obsessed with new spiritual dimensions. Everything from your practical life disinterests you.
You’re unable to develop an interest in anything that is necessary for your social and economic survival.
People who are unable to cope with domineering effects of the third eye chakra become a burden for their families instead of proving themselves as pillars of support.
Third Chakra Eye Blockage
A third eye chakra helps you differentiate between the real and surreal. Damage in the slightest sense can cause severe physical, psychological and neurological effects on your overall health.
This chakra is located at the forehead or your crown, and is closely associated with the pineal gland. It works together with the pineal gland to regulate vision, memory and imagination.
Suppress your Competitive Nature
Intuition strengthens when you release competition. A competitive environment drains your mental capacities and renders you useless in times of creative thought and imaginative expansion.
Recognize competitive factors in your life, such as academic rivalries, and take firm steps to subdue them.
Indulge in non-competitive activities, such as meditation, chanting, yoga etc. There are many practices that you can adopt to clear the blockages holding your third eye chakra captive.
Create your own brand of Goodness and Wisdom
Most people simply survive on goodness and wisdom that is readily available from other people. It is essential to seek answers from within to develop your personal brand of kindness.
This line of action promotes originality, creative thought, an escape from social templates, and embracement of creative thought.
Listen Instead of Processing
Never dismiss important messages in your surroundings. Listen to people with all your attention. Believe in the spontaneity of information. Instead of processing its every aspect, let it store in your mind.
For instance, if someone is talking about spirituality and a higher power don’t interrupt them or counter-argue. Just sit down, listen with engrossing concentration and let their message heal your third eye chakra.
Eat Mind-Friendly Food
Eat foods that are replete with Vitamin and omega 3-fatty acids as they constitute a major part of our brains and the areas where the third eye chakra is located.
Antioxidants, coconut oil and energisers, like tea and coffee are also quite beneficial.
If it is going to open I do not want to force it yet I do not want it to be closed. I get migraines seizures anxiety panic but then at times I am completely at peace and balanced. I am bi polar and I want to heal myself of the imbalance as well as heal my migraines. Western medicine has fused my spine with titanium because I have no collagen left in my spine. I have hesitated meditating for many years because the religion I was brought up in said it is the devils work. In terms of seeing demons (aliens) I am well aware of these creatures my entire life without trying and when I astral travel I or in my dreams I am incredibly fast I am lightning and fire and have incredible power. I guess I have more work to do than I thought…it was just a dream?
Thank you so much been meditating since I was 50 I am doing my light work duties today and I’m as kind as can be thank you so much
I DON’T KNOW if I am overthinking but I was wondering if people like me who already have state of mind that is close to the same mentionned in the article about people who have their third eye opened, can consider that theird eye is opened. I have experienced lucid dreaming a lot, also experienced deja vu episodes since I was kid till now, I asked my mom on that topic, she said that I might have some kind of gift but what I really wanna know is that if the fact of having a gift and all these experiences could allow me to see myself as someone who is the verge to open his third eye like naturally or if it’s already opened?
Btw Im a Scorpio and I was deeply concerned about the part that talk about seeing the reality in a whole another level because I am like thag, I’m always in the depth, I always go through things to bring out their deep meaning, their deep implications. I think I’ve said a lot thanks
My first experience with the third eye was before I even knew about chakras, I found a meditation on YouTube to “instantly open your third eye”
I did this for about an hour.
My forehead hurt so bad, it was almost burning.
I couldn’t sleep that night, I had horrible vivid dreams, I was sure I was seeing demons.
It made me terrified to try again, and I found a way to shut it I guess? Just by visioning myself closing it, and using my finger to shut it.
I didn’t believe any of this until it happened.
So my question is, is this bad? Is opening the eye demonic or satanic? I’m not even religious, but what happened to me is something I can’t explain. It took weeks to recover. I just want some clarity, thank you!
OMGosh..You went too far. These practices are not for everyone. I hope you are ok now.
Namaste
