Your third eye provides perception into the spiritual world and different realms of existence.
It is a mystical tool, but what does it feel like when you are experiencing third eye pressure, and what does it mean?
Your third eye is a gateway between you and the spiritual realm which provides access to a higher state of consciousness. It is located on the forehead between the eyes and is connected to the brow chakra.
When we are beginning our spiritual journey, our third eye is most likely to be closed.
However, with meditation and psychic awareness, you are able to start opening up your third eye.
The opening up of the third eye will bring forth enlightenment and psychic abilities, such as clairvoyance. You will become more in tune with the universe and the plan that is there for you.
What does the third eye pressure feel like? A dull, aching sensation on your forehead, between your eyes. Third eye pressure can also feel like a light touch on your forehead which can bring you a sense of warmth. There may be a tingling or a pulsation, even a vibration emanating from the third eye.
Note it shouldn't really be a third eye pain. Pain could indicate something else, such a headache.
This feeling can be really overwhelming, especially when it comes out of nowhere!
It might start occurring because of your spiritual journey, for example, if you have been meditating and using crystals to connect with your brow chakra.
However, sometimes you might just feel third eye pressure that might seemingly come out of the blue!
Whatever your situation, do not worry about feeling pressure on your third eye.

Hi Alan, I recently attended an intuition workshop to help us access my intuition more easily, and understand where it is coming from and tap into it. My coach gave me a meditation to do afterwards and after just two meditations, suddenly I started to feel a pressure between my brows, not knowing what this was, I googled it, and stumbled across your article. WOW!! this is incredible, your description is right on and I am so happy I read your article, and this is happening to me. One year ago I started on a personal growth journey, completed a life coach certificate and some theta healing courses as well. I guess it's all coming together now. I feel I am at the brink of something I have been seeking my whole life... Thank you! Carmen

Thank you so much for this article. Information available regarding this experience is hard to find and this is very useful and reassuring for those experiencing such.There seems to be a lot of info out there about how to open your anja, but very little regarding the experience itself. That can be a source of fear and confusion for some as without any substantiation, the person may begin to feel that they are perhaps delusional. Which is a pity, as the development itself is a beautiful one for those lucky enough to experience it.
