This was my meditative experience on March 20th, which I wrote it in a blog. Dear Love! I’m sharing my today’s meditation experience. After I gave love to each and every organ in my body. I drew love from Mother Nature from the feet to my mooladhara (Root chakra). So I was working on my kundalini awakening where the divine mother uncoils and rises to reach the loving embrace of Heavenly Father seated in the throne. As she awoke I just felt my first three centres spinning in white divine light, everytime I suck my breath like a straw to reach my pineal gland, she shifts from one centre to another. When I reached my Hridayam, I saw a surreal divine being with huge white wings, she walked towards me and sat on a Rocky floor and invited me to sit next to her by tapping the seating space next to her. Upon seeing her majesty, I went and sat next to her. The minute I saw her wings opening to cover the sky. And I was standing in front of her. She covered me with her wings. And she jumped down holding me to a depthless space. It’s like you’re sky diving. But there is No-thing that your eye can see, it’s just pure white light. And suddenly I reached a place (No-where) which was so fairy white. As far as my eyes can see it was snowy white. The divine being was standing there as I was looking around the space of pure awareness. And now I’m not asking questions verbally, but I’m able to hear what the divine being is saying telepathically. And the minute the question arose in my mind, what this place is. I heard in my mind say, this place is place of pure love. That there is no negativity at all. Just pristine pure love. I was experiencing this overwhelming love in that space and I told myself that everyone must receive this pure love. So sat there in that space and through my heart I send this love to everyone & everything in the universe. As I was doing that, every cell tissue fibre gland muscle organ bone was turning in to a tiny white flower with its centre yellow in colour. It was blooming all over my body until the flower covered my entire being. Then I shifted my attention to my third eye, there i saw huge huge gigantic tree and the branches were like the head of a snake. So there was many head of snakes and under the tree I see divine mother seated. She was radiating with ever new joy and ever new life. And I see myself like a sperm and I see the vagina of the divine mother like a brilliant luminous yellow light and I go through her vagina and I entered her womb. At this moment I realised that I’m part of the macrocosm and the macrocosm is expressing its life force through this microcosmic being. As I entered her womb, I’m being conceived and I’m born again. If ego enters where the divine mother governs she becomes the Mahakali (Goddess of Death). So she will chop off the head of the ego and wears it as a Garland. But if we enter as love she will become the Divine Mother who nurses us in her bosom. Sending you all lot of love & divine blessings. Love❤️Gratitude🙏🏼Light🌟
Watched this one again since you suggested it today- WHAT AN INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!! I got more out of it the second time (there's a lot in your videos-they're really thought out before we see them.)
Brahmari mudra is named so for the sound that the bee makes hence making humming an essential part of the practice. Shanmukhi mudra is the hand postures. Pls clarify.
Humming is used to induce the sound which is heard internally. Or you can just become quiet and listen. In which case humming is not necessary. In the tradition I was taught we do not hum.
Thank you for this wonderful video! and great timing. comitting myself to consistently exercising these techniques will probably be one of my resolutions for the new year...
Dearest guruji! I’m on my quest of starting all over again. I have been going through theses short videos and it is reminding me so much of the basics. I have tried your first practice but I can’t say I got anything. I have been practicing Hacala since I saw my first video of it. I’m seeing my spiritual eye on ocasione during my meditation. I think it’s really good for me to review all of the core techniques from time to time and re-establish all of the important things. Thank you so very much
Beautiful Victor ! If it doesn't appear right away that's okay just keep trying the video occasionally over and over again and it will develop with time. If you are seeing any light this is a really big deal and it will go on increasing as you continue to develop it.
You are very humble Forrestji. India has close to 1.3 billion different eyes and most of them are filled with materialism with no parallels in our solar system. The empty “spiritual “narcissism we Indians exhibit is really embarrassing. If the British were to behave like Indians, they would all be thinking that they are Newton. Your eyes Forrestji are that of a yogi , which is extremely rare to find in India today.

Thank you guruji. Your right hand line( palmistry) are perfect. The upper line in E centre or rajah , middle line is i centre or satta And rounded line is sex centre or life line Or tamah .If upper two line are parallel then it is good , E centre have no control over I centre.

Hi Forrest, just wondering. Once i develop the 3rd eye, what benefits do i aquire in developing it ? I can research the answer to my own question about the 3rd eye, but i want know your take on this subject. Namaste.
I was using HAKALAU to dilate my eyes, also it seems it’s harder for fe now to do space expansion around me and feel the space. Please advice, what I can do more, I want so much to see lights and get to that beautiful state again!! I saw some little purple light, but it’s nothing like it was a year ago.. I can’t understand why I can’t see again lights… but I ascent it, and I still enjoy my meditations..
I'm meditating for 30 minute to 1 hour, since last 3 months(regularly). As suggested by you in an old video, I do OM Japa on all the chakras before meditating. Now I feel two changes in me. 1: I feel a vibration on perinium and also on the portion of anus. At times it's similar to heart beat. I could feel the continuous vibration. 2: Static Electricity. I had experienced it before I started my spiritual journey. These days I do meditate regularly, and I experience static electricity often. Can you please let me know your suggestion for my two questions.
You have been of tremendous help on this journey that I seem to be on. I was wondering if you have initiated female Kriya Yogis and if you could speak a little about aspects of the practice that might vary for a female.

@@ForrestKnutson Actually you don't realise that I really mean it when I thank you. If I probably had not come across your videos on the third eye, I would've thought that I'm looking at The Ring from the scary movie during my meditation. :)
@@sneha738 haha! Oh no! What a thought! Wonderful well I receive your thanks sincerely and I really appreciate it every time I hear that my videos have helped somebody I think this project was definitely worth it. It's the most important work I've ever done.
When I'm lying in bed not being able to sleep. I have realised that my internal vision is in a different place. When I change my internal vision to my middle eye I go straight to sleep. I look without looking. There is a bright light that I gravitate to. The other looking seems to be behind my ears somewhere.
I used to do these things (finger in eyes and double vision) when i was young just testing out my body. I can still double vision at will. I did see an aura around a priests head when i was young (though i'm not sure it's related), i remember this happened before i was 8 years old (the aura was yellow), though i did not see another one afterwards. I might have seen auras around my parents heads as well, even before that, but i can't be sure about this since i was very young and the memory is vague (i thought auras were normal, just a day to day, regular type of thing, like drinking water). Besides all this i also liked to sit upside down (with my feet and back resting on a side of a bed or sofa) when i was young and watching cartoons, dunno if it has any effect, it might have, or it might just be a thing kids do. I was an atheist for most of my life, i'm still unsure, but i know there's something (but idk what, i'm thinking aliens since i also have seen an UFO). I'm a capricorn on 26 december 1987, ascendant in sagittarius, dunno if that can help anyone. I seem to like Alan Watts and what he talks about. He's also a capricorn with ascendant in sagittarius, though i don't like the the rascal thing; i prefer things to be straight up and honest. I get why someone trying to pick up women or get ahead in some way would want to be a rascal though, or surround himself with those kids of people. Cheers !
Hi Forrest, thank you for the beautiful videos with clear explanation. But I have a question, how had these learning and progress made in your life, do you feel calmer, peaceful, Ananda, close to God, has the fear of the future and death gone away? Are you feeling healthy, can you heal. What I am asking is what does this mean for you in the journey - Viswa
You mean, does seeing the spiritual eye give you all of that automatically? No, it doesn't. The total package of training the breath, activating the parasympathetic, crossing over into the right brain accomplishes this.
can i ask you a question Forrest? i heard a story of a shepherd who was living in a mountain with his cows and goats, and one day a visitor from cultured country holding books came by and saw the shepherd sitting on the grass, he approached him and start having a conversation about a book he's holding, the shepherd then asked the visitor to show him the book, the visitor handed it over, and when the shepherd touched the book, he said, now i understand.. the visitor didn't understand what he was talking about, "" he asked , what did you understand?, the shepherd replied: the book, i get it all.. the visitor was irritated by the shepherd's words thinking he was lying to him and angrily said: you can't understand this book, you didn't even open it!!, the shepherd replied: i understood it by touching it, i memorized every word, in it, you can test me, ask me any page, anything in that book..the visitor was in shock hearing that! how could possibly that be right? he thought, then he tested him and the shepherd answered every question , and recited every page asked to recite by his memory alone without looking into the book... to the end of the story .. the shepherd speaking in the end of the story to the visitor saying; do you see that cow pointing to a cow in the field, the visitor replies: yes , then the cow moves behind a wooden barrier,again the shepherd asked can you see it now? the visitor replies i can't see it, its behind a barrier, the shepherd then replied: i can what i'm asking you is .. can i really memorize a whole book with a simple touch after opening my 3rd eye?
Osama, great question. This has to do with the left and right brain. The right brain sees everything as a whole. So, you might get a feeling when looking at books, "this one!" and then you'll choose it, and find it had something you needed to hear. Or often the hair on my body will stand on end when someone is saying something I need to hear. Be it a child or an old man. ... However, transferring the whole book into the left brain would be extremely rare. Rather, you would most likely "get a feeling of the book." Some of this we would draw from the title. So the info from the left and right come together.
@@osamanemer2154 Hi, a few times when I was studying for a big test, the day of the test and close to the time to go into the classroom u office I asked this question with my book or notebook on my hands “ Please God show me what are they going to ask me “I open the book and there was exactly what they asked later and because I already studied I could just review and pay attention to the details. I could never remember those details (ages, numbers and biochem pathways and formulas ) if I didn’t do this communication, I also could concentrated on what they where going to asked my friends for the final examination at the university. I don’t understand how that can be done. No training on this subject, now I’m here .
Swami Vivekananda could memorize whole book within seconds sometimes he could tell everything in a book without opening the book. There is a interesting story where swami met a popular american author and swami did it before the author.
Rebirth concept have corrupted so many minds. Here is what i experienced when i am absolute still all perceptions even the perception of being still fades away i suddenly can feel my full body like its a gas form and the gas inside and outside flows very fast the goosebumps are that gas or chi,prana, energy moving vibrating. Its hard to put in words i am like fully involved in life. Its going back to pure instincts. What i have found is animals and insects are already in this state its a default state we humans are corrupted by language. That's why we feel disconnected from life.
I wonder what the 3rd eye is for you. For me, the third eye is intended to develop absolute clairvoyance. The first time I saw a perfectly sharp candle flame after a Joyti meditation, it made me very happy. Because I knew that this was a real vision of the activated third eye, because I usually don't see that clearly. Another evidence of an activated third eye is seeing through closed eyelids.
I am interested in the question "How to integrate yoga into a daily routine". As I remember right, Lahiri Mahasaya talk about the fact, that a normal family life is a good environment for yogi. But I have so much difficulty to get concentrated while hearing my playing sons or to bring in the discipline to turn off Netflix and to practice. I do not want to change my family just to change my self. Does anyone have a good starting point for this issue? Maybe a book, video?
Awesome, Forrest. I'll try them all. What you describe sounds similar to what you should do when looking at stereoscopic images. I feel it is the same principle. What do you think? Thanks for sharing, btw!
Ahh, Forrestji! Thank you very much for this! You summarized the practices wonderfully. I'll practice more diligently all of them. Last night I saw a bit of light moving around, but want to develop it more.
In my best effort activating the third eye, as you explain in your instructions I feel a tinkel or vibration at the back of roof of my mouth, after the soft spot. Is that common as far as you know?
Hi Mr. Knutson! This is a strange coincidence since exacly today i started implementing Yoni Mudra in my routine. The path i'm following requires that i drop the classic 15 min. concetration in the Spiritual Eye and replace it with Yoni. In your experiance, is this a normal transition? So is Concentration just a tool for practicing these higher techiniques better? Thanks for your contents!
Hi Francesco, like I explained in the video, Yoni is used to develop the spiritual eye, so that you can then see it automatically in meditation, without moving.
Wow Forrest! How very synchronistic!! I was going to txt you this week about the Om Technique! The last 3 weeks, halfway through my Kriya pranayam I started to hear a very thin sound in the right ear, obviously I got very happy and checked your Om technique video just to be sure. So the question is, can I do the Om Technique after Kriya or can that interrupt the possibility of Paravastha?
Wonderful Victor! After kriya it is best to set awhile and enjoy what peace and bliss you've gathered. That could include listening to your sound. As you listen it will go down in tone into something deeper. After a bit of repose, then you could practice the OM technique at the end.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you Forrest 🙏🏼 makes sense. I have done some short periods of HRV breathing during the day but still haven’t made it a habit. I’ll try to combine that with the other practices you mentioned in the video like (looking at a wall exercise), something tells me it’ll make a huge difference.
Great question, Jason. You want the skill and the attitude, and it's easy to do. All you're doing is "spacing out" at will, by opening your peripheral vision.
In that case you probably want to hold off meditating in the evening as it may be charging you too much energetically for you to sleep. Then talk to your unconscious mind and let it know you would like to sleep now so go ahead and move all of that talking into the background of your mind so you can go ahead and sleep now. You can imagine that you hear deep lovely snoring.
Hi Forrest! Over a year ago for two weeks, every day I was able to see third eye in my meditations, it happened very easy to me, every day, now I have been trying meditate over a week, every day, I was not able to see any flash of white, golden light, purple lifts, flashing stars, and more, how it was a year ago.. I have been trying to do everything the same like i did before, the only thing was different, a year ago, I was meditate around 7-8 am, snd now around 10-12 am, is it could an issue time? Please advice. Thank you so much!!
Namaskarams. Mr. Forrest, "looking but not looking" means we should look at point with out focus and observe the surroundings(field of vision) without moving the eye balls. one more question, how much time we have to do shambhai & khechary mudras in one sitting. please answer. Your videos are very useful to me. Thank you.
Thank you for the great video! I have a question regarding the Yoni Mudra. Do you think that the breath hold somehow enhances the appearance of the spiritual eye? Because of course it’s more difficult to do Yoni than the other option, that’s why I wonder if it’s more efficient?
Hi, Forrest! I joined Patreon. I see the spiritual eye at will now, and I slip into the Freeze within a few minutes. My question is, what does the Aum sound sound like??? People have told me various things at Ananda. I might already be hearing it. It's hard to know with the amount of tinnitus I have. Thank you for your time!!
Perfect, Amy! Glad to have you! I wrote about the sounds here recently: www.patreon.com/posts/45268384 When the sound begins it's very often mistaken as tinnitus. As the sound deepens, the ringing shifts into a deeper and deeper sound. This can be accomplished quickly if you practice HRV-RB and listen to the sound at the same time. Eventually, you will hear the full roar of OM. To simulate this last sound, go in the shower and place the water running over you forehead and over both ears simultaneously. That roar is the closest thing in this world to the true OM sound.
Awesome explanation 👍 I can definitely say that yoti mudra developed my spiritual eye. It's a much faster way to see it. I've noticed that on empty stomach the light gets really brilliant too. One question Mr. Forrest, the vivid metal visions(almost dreamlike) perceived during meditation whilst facing the blue light; I want to know if this is the beginning of samadhi or is it a sign of drifting into my dream state? I've noticed that a few times now the dreamlike visions just pops up while I observe the blue light.
Forest, you know how a lot of people see trails of color floating around usually purple or blue and for me tends to be quite early in meditation..then it seems to fade and not come back, is this in any way at all your third eye trying to develop but never takes form or is this just an early stage or something some go through first and then later on the colors or eye may reappear? You always have the most solid advice and wisdom so i come to you hehe. Thank you as always
Purple and blue is very deep. That's the center of the eye. Sometimes we approach things very naturally in the beginning and everything lines up right and then sometimes we try to hard later on and so that flow shuts down a little towards the end. That's one possibility. You might think more and more about letting go towards the end of the meditation. Get a little bit Spacey.
Atma namaste sir heartfelt gratitude for your wonderful teachings.. this subject is actually so deep and complicated but you with your special gift of teachings making it very simple and understandable way as usual...its very true when you learn how to see the aura ..and focus during meditation the third eye activation happens. Like you said continue practice with consistency the automatic expansion takes place..wonderful explanation. Sorry sir couldn't see the video immediately because of wedding in the family. God bless much love to you and family 🙏❤🙏❤
Hey Forest,🙏 Would there be any benefit,to inwardly repeating aum at the 3rd eye with this technique,or just stick with plugging the ears & listening. And I guess another question would be if there is any contraindications to using earplugs. Like would they affect the ability to hear the OM. Thank you sir.
I would recommend that you chant it at the medulla. This is the breath center in the body. Once you start hearing the sound you can sometimes hear it with ear plugs but for the maximum efficiency of this technique you need to plug the tragus. Or put the thumb directly into the ear hole.
I had a flexible job, so I was practicing for 1 to 2 minutes every 15 or 30 minutes intensely for two years. It was more of a slow wave of intensity as my success increased. However, my perspective is much different now. If I'd known what I know now, I'd be practicing expansive exercises instead.
Also it's pretty amazing and hilarious and you may not even believe, but yesterday (the day I watched this video) I had a brief thought about what you thought a soul was and here the answer was in the video😂😂
@@joncen2658 that's very synchronous. It's inside the sense of self. So what we call the ego is eventually transformed and we find it's true essence in the Purusha.
Loved this Forrest. But you said you it every 15 mins for 2 years. And you also said it doesnt take long. So how long do you recommend holding it for? Just until my arms get tired?
I went a little crazy with it, lol, but you don't need to. If you want to develop it, I would just do it for a couple minutes at a time (yes, until your arms get tired), 5 or 10 times a day for a consistent time. Like a couple months, let's say. You should see some results fairly soon. Any good benefit is awesome. Combined with a HRV-R is even better. Learning to dilate your eyes will maximize those results.
Few months ago I had this profound download during my meditation. That I saw the third eye to be the shape of a vagina. (Yoni) So the way to womb is through it. It’s the divine mother. It’s so beautiful when I hear you say the same thing that I downloaded. It shows that when we are connected to the divine, the divine truth flows like gushing springs of water. Thank you! Thank you! More love & light ❤️🙏🏼
That is profound, and you are connecting with the yogis of old, who felt the same. That they had been reborn through the experience of the spiritual eye and the right brain!
Thanks Forrest. I've been practising since 2 years(Not regular 😊). Still I couldn't see the spiritual eye. During few instance i could see a dark cave and a violet light. It might be an illusion since I've been watching n reading lot of contents related to 3rd eye. Anyways I'm not disappointed. I'm still working on it.
Forrest is it that difficult for an American to say vagina . The language Americans use on the media is filled with curses and when it comes to your body or sex everything gets indirect. It made me smile but now I know it is yoni not yoti. Yoganandras book Is beside my bed I look at his picture and smile even more.

Then I shifted my attention to my third eye, there i saw huge huge gigantic tree and the branches were like the head of a snake. So there was many head of snakes and under the tree I see divine mother seated. She was radiating with ever new joy and ever new life. And I see myself like a sperm and I see the vagina of the divine mother like a brilliant luminous yellow light and I go through her vagina and I entered her womb. At this moment I realised that I’m part of the macrocosm and the macrocosm is expressing its life force through this microcosmic being.
As I entered her womb, I’m being conceived and I’m born again. If ego enters where the divine mother governs she becomes the Mahakali (Goddess of Death). So she will chop off the head of the ego and wears it as a Garland. But if we enter as love she will become the Divine Mother who nurses us in her bosom.
Sending you all lot of love & divine blessings.

@@ForrestKnutson Actually you don't realise that I really mean it when I thank you. If I probably had not come across your videos on the third eye, I would've thought that I'm looking at The Ring from the scary movie during my meditation. :)
@@sneha738 haha! Oh no! What a thought! Wonderful well I receive your thanks sincerely and I really appreciate it every time I hear that my videos have helped somebody I think this project was definitely worth it. It's the most important work I've ever done.
When I'm lying in bed not being able to sleep. I have realised that my internal vision is in a different place. When I change my internal vision to my middle eye I go straight to sleep. I look without looking. There is a bright light that I gravitate to. The other looking seems to be behind my ears somewhere.
Very good, Noor!
I used to do these things (finger in eyes and double vision) when i was young just testing out my body. I can still double vision at will. I did see an aura around a priests head when i was young (though i'm not sure it's related), i remember this happened before i was 8 years old (the aura was yellow), though i did not see another one afterwards. I might have seen auras around my parents heads as well, even before that, but i can't be sure about this since i was very young and the memory is vague (i thought auras were normal, just a day to day, regular type of thing, like drinking water).
Besides all this i also liked to sit upside down (with my feet and back resting on a side of a bed or sofa) when i was young and watching cartoons, dunno if it has any effect, it might have, or it might just be a thing kids do.
I was an atheist for most of my life, i'm still unsure, but i know there's something (but idk what, i'm thinking aliens since i also have seen an UFO). I'm a capricorn on 26 december 1987, ascendant in sagittarius, dunno if that can help anyone.
I seem to like Alan Watts and what he talks about. He's also a capricorn with ascendant in sagittarius, though i don't like the the rascal thing; i prefer things to be straight up and honest. I get why someone trying to pick up women or get ahead in some way would want to be a rascal though, or surround himself with those kids of people.
Cheers !
Hi Forrest, thank you for the beautiful videos with clear explanation. But I have a question, how had these learning and progress made in your life, do you feel calmer, peaceful, Ananda, close to God, has the fear of the future and death gone away? Are you feeling healthy, can you heal. What I am asking is what does this mean for you in the journey - Viswa
You mean, does seeing the spiritual eye give you all of that automatically? No, it doesn't. The total package of training the breath, activating the parasympathetic, crossing over into the right brain accomplishes this.
Is the 3rd eye vertical, horizontal or round?
can i ask you a question Forrest?
i heard a story of a shepherd who was living in a mountain with his cows and goats, and one day a visitor from cultured country holding books came by and saw the shepherd sitting on the grass, he approached him and start having a conversation about a book he's holding, the shepherd then asked the visitor to show him the book, the visitor handed it over, and when the shepherd touched the book, he said, now i understand.. the visitor didn't understand what he was talking about, "" he asked , what did you understand?, the shepherd replied: the book, i get it all.. the visitor was irritated by the shepherd's words thinking he was lying to him and angrily said: you can't understand this book, you didn't even open it!!, the shepherd replied: i understood it by touching it, i memorized every word, in it, you can test me, ask me any page, anything in that book..the visitor was in shock hearing that! how could possibly that be right? he thought, then he tested him and the shepherd answered every question , and recited every page asked to recite by his memory alone without looking into the book... to the end of the story .. the shepherd speaking in the end of the story to the visitor saying; do you see that cow pointing to a cow in the field, the visitor replies: yes , then the cow moves behind a wooden barrier,again the shepherd asked can you see it now? the visitor replies i can't see it, its behind a barrier, the shepherd then replied: i can
what i'm asking you is .. can i really memorize a whole book with a simple touch after opening my 3rd eye?
Osama, great question. This has to do with the left and right brain. The right brain sees everything as a whole. So, you might get a feeling when looking at books, "this one!" and then you'll choose it, and find it had something you needed to hear. Or often the hair on my body will stand on end when someone is saying something I need to hear. Be it a child or an old man. ... However, transferring the whole book into the left brain would be extremely rare. Rather, you would most likely "get a feeling of the book." Some of this we would draw from the title. So the info from the left and right come together.
@@ForrestKnutson awh! guess i can't skip studying my school books and gotta learn the hard way
:((((
@@osamanemer2154 Hi, a few times when I was studying for a big test, the day of the test and close to the time to go into the classroom u office I asked this question with my book or notebook on my hands “ Please God show me what are they going to ask me “I open the book and there was exactly what they asked later and because I already studied I could just review and pay attention to the details. I could never remember those details (ages, numbers and biochem pathways and formulas ) if I didn’t do this communication, I also could concentrated on what they where going to asked my friends for the final examination at the university. I don’t understand how that can be done. No training on this subject, now I’m here .
Swami Vivekananda could memorize whole book within seconds sometimes he could tell everything in a book without opening the book. There is a interesting story where swami met a popular american author and swami did it before the author.
Rebirth concept have corrupted so many minds. Here is what i experienced when i am absolute still all perceptions even the perception of being still fades away i suddenly can feel my full body like its a gas form and the gas inside and outside flows very fast the goosebumps are that gas or chi,prana, energy moving vibrating. Its hard to put in words i am like fully involved in life. Its going back to pure instincts. What i have found is animals and insects are already in this state its a default state we humans are corrupted by language. That's why we feel disconnected from life.
That's really insightful. You're getting into the right brain perspective as you feel yourself beyond the body. Well done!
Hello Forrest. When I fully relax, I find myself with half eyes opened like in your thumbnail. Can you explain more about that please?
I wonder what the 3rd eye is for you. For me, the third eye is intended to develop absolute clairvoyance. The first time I saw a perfectly sharp candle flame after a Joyti meditation, it made me very happy. Because I knew that this was a real vision of the activated third eye, because I usually don't see that clearly. Another evidence of an activated
third eye is seeing through closed eyelids.
Thank you, Frank! Those are possible powers that come with it. For me it's the doorway into the right hippocampus. Into the Higher Self.
I am interested in the question "How to integrate yoga into a daily routine". As I remember right, Lahiri Mahasaya talk about the fact, that a normal family life is a good environment for yogi. But I have so much difficulty to get concentrated while hearing my playing sons or to bring in the discipline to turn off Netflix and to practice. I do not want to change my family just to change my self.
Does anyone have a good starting point for this issue? Maybe a book, video?
You might like to check out some of the Playlists on my channel. They are very encouraging in this direction.
@@ForrestKnutson thanks for your answer. I will check them out.
Awesome, Forrest. I'll try them all. What you describe sounds similar to what you should do when looking at stereoscopic images. I feel it is the same principle. What do you think? Thanks for sharing, btw!
A very similar idea! What a great thought!
Ahh, Forrestji! Thank you very much for this! You summarized the practices wonderfully. I'll practice more diligently all of them. Last night I saw a bit of light moving around, but want to develop it more.
Perfect!
In my best effort activating the third eye, as you explain in your instructions I feel a tinkel or vibration at the back of roof of my mouth, after the soft spot. Is that common as far as you know?
Beautiful! That is a little bit of the activation of the sphenoid sinus and the pituitary. Not exactly common but not uncommon. 🤩🙏
@@ForrestKnutson you really are a true Yoga master Forrest. Such a detailed and straight forward answer. I am in awe.
I hear a steady beat
Anu, you are probably hearing the Nada, or perhaps your heartbeat.
Ooohhh I love this one
Excellent Colleen!
Hi Mr. Knutson! This is a strange coincidence since exacly today i started implementing Yoni Mudra in my routine.
The path i'm following requires that i drop the classic 15 min. concetration in the Spiritual Eye and replace it with Yoni.
In your experiance, is this a normal transition? So is Concentration just a tool for practicing these higher techiniques better?
Thanks for your contents!
Hi Francesco, like I explained in the video, Yoni is used to develop the spiritual eye, so that you can then see it automatically in meditation, without moving.
Wow Forrest! How very synchronistic!! I was going to txt you this week about the Om Technique! The last 3 weeks, halfway through my Kriya pranayam I started to hear a very thin sound in the right ear, obviously I got very happy and checked your Om technique video just to be sure. So the question is, can I do the Om Technique after Kriya or can that interrupt the possibility of Paravastha?
Wonderful Victor! After kriya it is best to set awhile and enjoy what peace and bliss you've gathered. That could include listening to your sound. As you listen it will go down in tone into something deeper. After a bit of repose, then you could practice the OM technique at the end.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you Forrest 🙏🏼 makes sense. I have done some short periods of HRV breathing during the day but still haven’t made it a habit. I’ll try to combine that with the other practices you mentioned in the video like (looking at a wall exercise), something tells me it’ll make a huge difference.
Where is earth’s nucleus?
what about using eye dilation drops like the eye doctor uses
Great question, Jason. You want the skill and the attitude, and it's easy to do. All you're doing is "spacing out" at will, by opening your peripheral vision.
What to do with it and how to live with it ? No rest while closing my eyes because its a full action film behind my eyes 24-7 ... cant sleep.
In that case you probably want to hold off meditating in the evening as it may be charging you too much energetically for you to sleep. Then talk to your unconscious mind and let it know you would like to sleep now so go ahead and move all of that talking into the background of your mind so you can go ahead and sleep now. You can imagine that you hear deep lovely snoring.
I put my hand on the wall and could see a fluorescent yellow, green, blue. After awhile my hand disappeared
Hi Forrest! Over a year ago for two weeks, every day I was able to see third eye in my meditations, it happened very easy to me, every day, now I have been trying meditate over a week, every day, I was not able to see any flash of white, golden light, purple lifts, flashing stars, and more, how it was a year ago.. I have been trying to do everything the same like i did before, the only thing was different, a year ago, I was meditate around 7-8 am, snd now around 10-12 am, is it could an issue time? Please advice. Thank you so much!!
Changing time as nothing to do with it. I think you are stressing it.
I believe so. 6-7 am 11-12pm 5:45-6:45 and 11-12am. These are times when shushumna Nadi is automatically active.
Namaskarams. Mr. Forrest, "looking but not looking" means we should look at point with out focus and observe the surroundings(field of vision) without moving the eye balls. one more question, how much time we have to do shambhai & khechary mudras in one sitting. please answer. Your videos are very useful to me. Thank you.
Thank you for the great video! I have a question regarding the Yoni Mudra. Do you think that the breath hold somehow enhances the appearance of the spiritual eye? Because of course it’s more difficult to do Yoni than the other option, that’s why I wonder if it’s more efficient?
Absolutely that's exactly what it's doing. 🤩
@@ForrestKnutson thank you 😊I love the idea that I can do Yonimudra often or separately from other practices and not only after the Kriya practice.
Hi Forrest. Can you tell me how do I develop concentration and stay focused for long time in studying?
Hi Vignan, here's two videos on this:
ua-cam.com/video/h-e9MvPlYAk/v-deo.html

Thank you very much, Forrest. I will watch them
@@vignannakka3074 excellent!
Hi, Forrest! I joined Patreon. I see the spiritual eye at will now, and I slip into the Freeze within a few minutes. My question is, what does the Aum sound sound like??? People have told me various things at Ananda. I might already be hearing it. It's hard to know with the amount of tinnitus I have. Thank you for your time!!
Perfect, Amy! Glad to have you! I wrote about the sounds here recently: www.patreon.com/posts/45268384
When the sound begins it's very often mistaken as tinnitus. As the sound deepens, the ringing shifts into a deeper and deeper sound. This can be accomplished quickly if you practice HRV-RB and listen to the sound at the same time. Eventually, you will hear the full roar of OM. To simulate this last sound, go in the shower and place the water running over you forehead and over both ears simultaneously. That roar is the closest thing in this world to the true OM sound.
Awesome explanation 👍 I can definitely say that yoti mudra developed my spiritual eye. It's a much faster way to see it. I've noticed that on empty stomach the light gets really brilliant too. One question Mr. Forrest, the vivid metal visions(almost dreamlike) perceived during meditation whilst facing the blue light; I want to know if this is the beginning of samadhi or is it a sign of drifting into my dream state? I've noticed that a few times now the dreamlike visions just pops up while I observe the blue light.
In this video I explained the "Download Phase"
ua-cam.com/video/R75DNu6e5_M/v-deo.html
That's where you are when you have a vision like that.
@@ForrestKnutson thanks 🙏
Forest, you know how a lot of people see trails of color floating around usually purple or blue and for me tends to be quite early in meditation..then it seems to fade and not come back, is this in any way at all your third eye trying to develop but never takes form or is this just an early stage or something some go through first and then later on the colors or eye may reappear? You always have the most solid advice and wisdom so i come to you hehe. Thank you as always
Purple and blue is very deep. That's the center of the eye. Sometimes we approach things very naturally in the beginning and everything lines up right and then sometimes we try to hard later on and so that flow shuts down a little towards the end. That's one possibility. You might think more and more about letting go towards the end of the meditation. Get a little bit Spacey.
@@ForrestKnutson so true, thank you forest your the best!
Atma namaste sir heartfelt gratitude for your wonderful teachings.. this subject is actually so deep and complicated but you with your special gift of teachings making it very simple and understandable way as usual...its very true when you learn how to see the aura ..and focus during meditation the third eye activation happens. Like you said continue practice with consistency the automatic expansion takes place..wonderful explanation. Sorry sir couldn't see the video immediately because of wedding in the family. God bless much love to you and family 🙏❤🙏❤
Vimala thank you so much! Making difficult things easy. Music to my ears! Congratulations on the wedding in the family! God bless them and you! 🤗🙏🙏

Wow! Awesome Jay! Great to have you here, and thanks to Brad!! 🙏
Forrest u r talking about jyoti mudra or Shanmukhi mudra correct
That's correct
Hey Forest,🙏
Would there be any benefit,to inwardly repeating aum at the 3rd eye with this technique,or just stick with plugging the ears & listening.
And I guess another question would be if there is any contraindications to using earplugs. Like would they affect the ability to hear the OM.
Thank you sir.
I would recommend that you chant it at the medulla. This is the breath center in the body. Once you start hearing the sound you can sometimes hear it with ear plugs but for the maximum efficiency of this technique you need to plug the tragus. Or put the thumb directly into the ear hole.
@@ForrestKnutson Excellent!
Thank you again.🙏
6.28 you mean everyday for 15 minutes?
I had a flexible job, so I was practicing for 1 to 2 minutes every 15 or 30 minutes intensely for two years. It was more of a slow wave of intensity as my success increased. However, my perspective is much different now. If I'd known what I know now, I'd be practicing expansive exercises instead.
Nice techniques!
Also it's pretty amazing and hilarious and you may not even believe, but yesterday (the day I watched this video) I had a brief thought about what you thought a soul was and here the answer was in the video😂😂
@@joncen2658 that's very synchronous. It's inside the sense of self. So what we call the ego is eventually transformed and we find it's true essence in the Purusha.
Loved this Forrest. But you said you it every 15 mins for 2 years. And you also said it doesnt take long. So how long do you recommend holding it for? Just until my arms get tired?
I went a little crazy with it, lol, but you don't need to. If you want to develop it, I would just do it for a couple minutes at a time (yes, until your arms get tired), 5 or 10 times a day for a consistent time. Like a couple months, let's say. You should see some results fairly soon. Any good benefit is awesome. Combined with a HRV-R is even better. Learning to dilate your eyes will maximize those results.
Do you take new students? I’m 18 years old and I’d love to be your student, also where are you located :)
Mail him.
Jai hakalau
Wooo hooo! Exactly Stan!

Few months ago I had this profound download during my meditation.
That I saw the third eye to be the shape of a vagina. (Yoni)
So the way to womb is through it.
It’s the divine mother.
It’s so beautiful when I hear you say the same thing that I downloaded. It shows that when we are connected to the divine, the divine truth flows like gushing springs of water.
Thank you! Thank you!
More love & light
❤️🙏🏼
That is profound, and you are connecting with the yogis of old, who felt the same. That they had been reborn through the experience of the spiritual eye and the right brain!
Thanks Forrest. I've been practising since 2 years(Not regular 😊). Still I couldn't see the spiritual eye. During few instance i could see a dark cave and a violet light. It might be an illusion since I've been watching n reading lot of contents related to 3rd eye. Anyways I'm not disappointed. I'm still working on it.
That's it! It's not an illusion. You're seeing it.
@@ForrestKnutson 💜💜💜
👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Alok!
Merci beaucoup 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You have a great talent to explain the things for the normal people like me very well.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏
Thank you! Wonderful! 😃🙏🙏
Forrest is it that difficult for an American to say vagina . The language Americans use on the media is filled with curses and when it comes to your body or sex everything gets indirect. It made me smile but now I know it is yoni not yoti. Yoganandras book Is beside my bed I look at his picture and smile even more.
