To anyone familiar with the "third eye"...

I'm also curious as to why you feel it's opening up?

Being in control of it is not necessarily a requirement. But your inquiry leaves me wondering exactly what the issue is with it opening and you not being in control of it.

:laugh: Don't let anyone point at it. (yeah...most of you won't get the joke...not 100% sure anyone knows it, BUT don't let anyone point at it, or do Reiki on you for that matter :laugh: :laugh: - that last part is only semi-serious...sorta....)

Some things listed there have been things I've experienced for years, such as light sensitivity and reading people easily (which of course could have a multitude of other explanations), but lately, I've been experiencing more frequent and severe headaches (I've never suffered from chronic migraines before) and I have a general feeling of change within me. Also, I reached out to an astrologist a few days ago and he believes I am heading towards a transition period in my life, so I feel all this may be connected. And yes, I want to be actively aware of this as much as possible.

What are you doing in terms of meditation, and have you tried Zazen to become aware of your body and thoughts? If you're not, this might be a way of assisting you in becoming more aware of what is going on regarding your third eye. I wouldn't rely so heavily on an astrologist as I would my own internal experiences, primarily because it can cloud your judgement on what is really going on. That's not to say the astrologist is wrong, but becoming aware of something because someone gives you the keys to that awareness can cause us to loose focus on ourselves and focus on the external things around us.

So I recommend Zazen if you're not already doing it.
