Love you Forrest! You describe what I experience in meditation! It’s difficult to talk about this things with ‘worldly people’, especially when you’re surrounded by many of them. Thank you so much for this video; it’s very helpful.🙏🏾
That's fantastic! I'm so glad it was helpful! There are quite a few meditators who have found comfort in these talks about the spiritual eye. You are in wonderful company!
Tell me about you scared to talk because you may end it in asylum
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been looking for this information for years and it’s the first time it makes sense. Thank you so much
That's so fantastic, Vita! I'm so glad to have you here!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve been practicing HRV during meditations (after watching your video on HRV) and have started seeing these things you are describing! I got chills watching this video as you were talking. I’ve been seeing the golden cave and today during my morning meditation it changed to a beautiful indigo color!! 🙌🏻✨ I wasn’t sure if it meant anything at all or what to do with what I was seeing...thank you so much for this video!! It is confirming to me that I AM making progress and that I actually am on the right track!! 😁😁
Wow, Teilani, that's actually a really big deal. I'm so happy for your success! That is a great depth that you're reaching. ... Be sure to watch this video, where I explain what to do when you are in front of the spiritual eye: ua-cam.com/video/2TRBvHeXYqE/v-deo.html
Thank you Forrest ! This video was literally an eye opener !!
LOL! That's great Mark!
i wanna be your disciple.
i’ve been wandering alot of people dealing with this topic but your words are the one i highly resonate with.
Azido, I'm so glad to hear they resonate! Would you like to reach out to me at thatyogiguy@gmail.com
Thank You Forrestji , You simply the best !
Finallyyyyyy
I've searching for this information.
Thank you
Thank you. I’ve been searching for this information everywhere. Glad I’m not crazy. I will check out some of your links for more info ♥️✨
Does anyone else on here while in meditation, have there eyes forced up in a surge of energy? Like you’re being forced to look up at your third eye?
That is the pull of the "first knot" coming undone. I talk about that magnetic pull in that video on the "3 knots of Lahiri Mahasaya"
After practicing Shambhavi today, I saw a rectangular black image surrounded by golden light and have seen purple once as well. The disturbing thing is that image looked more real than reality.
Thanks for explaining this so clearly. Without your channel, I would have been thinking I am going crazy seeing things lol.
Well done! That's it! It's always a little different because you are looking into a light. As you watch it you'll see it is more consistently circular.
@@ForrestKnutson Thanks! Yes, I now see sometimes a very bright light. I initially thought it was light from an external source, but I then saw it at different times and now its more frequent. Also, I realized last night the true nature of what happened to me on the 16th. I have had a full awakening. I found my "heart-mind" and my old self has died. I have been able to forgive people I never thought I could forgive, my depression is gone, my old self just crumbled as an illusion. Of course, my real (material) life is in chaos now as my belief system, my preferences, my ego are no longer the old way. I have no clue where I will go from here. I am still so glad I am on this path.
@@ron6107 that is really wonderful. Take your time and give yourself time to adjust. There's no rush.
I am being tortured during this process. I am hearing voices and everyone is watching me how is this possible? Why are there people younger than me having a third eye open? Why is the government following me
In that case I would recommend that you stop everything and only do navi kriya for three months
@@ForrestKnutson i have to deal with this for 3 more months? Its not allowing me to sleep im drained and exhausted everyone is hearing my thoughts im being followed
@@seement7979 navi will begin to help you right away but I recommend that you continue to not do the things that you were doing that are meditative for a while
Thank you so much for such a meaningful video ❤
you are great and i totally resonate with all of your videos
Hi again Forrest, I was a bit hasty commenting and had not finished watching the video! I have also read some comments. I regularly have the Indigo flame and white rings (even when doing daily tasks as mentioned by another viewer. )I have not had any experience of the blue or golden flame/star but I have had the clear sensations or being in what I used to call a room, but I suppose a cave is also an accurate description. I have also had the experience of the whole of the vision being all white (this has happened only once for a very short time). I have had visions and gone to other places but have not done this after seeing the blue+gold light and star. I thank you for your video and the sharing of your experience and knowledge, I was feeling shitty today, having doubts about if I can meditate effectively (I find it hard to relax fully and let go), but after watching this I feel more confident again and my doubts have subsided. I do not follow any methods or any specific teachings. Many thanks Guz
Excellent, Guz! Try the HRV-RB on my playlists. That should help with the deepening.
Hi Forrest! Thank you for this! I've seen those..even the stars.. sometimes i'll see not one or two but 3 dark circles/cave ..but some days is just one going purple with gold/greenish outer ring..
Very new to meditation but deeply connected to my guru Parmahansa Yogananda who has kindly come into my life! I saw a white dot appear out of nowhere. It had clouds interminently...Am I on the right path? I felt so great as though energy was flowing into me from the centre. What an experience! Jai Guru
Hi Forrest. Great channel! I've been doing meditation lately trying to achieve the outer body experience (OBE) and need some advice.
I meditate on the chakras and do breathwork, and I get to a vibration stage. Then I let the vibrations run all over my body and afterwards I see a * purple tunnel *. After this, I see a * rotating field of stars *. I have some questions.
1) When I see the starry sky am I in an OBE state or do I need to (somehow) reach a higher state of consciousness to achieve that?
2) Is the starry sky similar to the " cave state " you mention ?
2) When I first see the purple tunnel, should I do anything to "go into it" ? (Because it always stays in front of my vision, and it seems to fizzle out into the starry sky, so I dunno if I've actually gone into it or not)
This is really fantastic! Good stuff!
Thank you!! I'm so glad to be a help!
For the last month I have witnessed all of this. What is so surprising is they are here all the time they haven’t left. Also lights of waves that seem intelligent, the wave will move randomly to the other side of the room and just stays there. Not sure what this means.
It came! It happened! Woot. One day then the next I saw the star in the middle. Only about 5 minutes each time but was so amazing.
Congratulations, Robo! 5 minutes is a long time, actually.
@@ForrestKnutson well I certainly exaggerated in my excitement. It was probably more like 5 minutes collectively. But either way! The guidence of your experience helped. You have my gratitude.
I saw a blue temple with intricate lattice work on the ceiling which was very beautiful and was in a state of rainbow colors rolling like the sea. I got some sort of message about being a drop in an infinite sea.
first time trying i saw my third eye completly for like 2 sec but all dark why is that ?
Fantastic! It's something that develops, so it will start dim and become more clear with practice. Well done!
What I have seen started out as a pin-sized dot of white light. Gradually that expanded, surrounded by what looked like clouds at night, or yes, a cave. Eventually, I saw what looked like a full moon, a white disc that became fully exposed to me. I tried to jump up into it or call it down but I could not jump up to it. This was a few weeks ago and it took me by surprise and I was exhausted after the event, which was very lucid, as I was wide awake, but then after some time of breaking through the clouds and fighting to keep them back, and finally seeing the light, I lay back and fell into sleep.
That's great Miles. Instead of trying to fight into it, take a chance to embrace it and expand into it. That's the way to move into the Right brain.
Hi, When I started meditation around 5 months back, within a week I started to see the ring, (I thought it's red/orange, am color blind, so can't exactly tell the color), inside the ring it is dark blue (may be purple/violet) never knew that is the spiritual eye, glad to know that, but I don't see the star yet, sometimes I see only white scattered light, however I can see the ring and blue inside during the meditation at day time, but during meditation at night I see the dark night sky with lots of stars (blurred stars like white dots), just like am watching the night sky, I find it too difficult to see the ring and blue color at night, is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
You're doing perfectly. That's it, and you don't have to see the star, or to see it perfectly. Sounds like you might be experiencing some expansion as well.
This is exactly what happens to me. I used to get really frustrated at night. I thought I was doing something wrong.
Confirmation! Wonderful! 🙏
Thank you for that explanation. I have been seeing this for months
Perfect Jenny! I glad this gave some explanation.
💙💛🧡💗🖤🤎🤍
*Hello I am very grateful to you to your chanel which helps many people to be awoke. I also want to say thank You to you for replying every msg of your followers and all those who comment on your videos. Thank You, Thank You Thank You* 💙💛🧡💗🖤🤎🤍
Thank you! You're so welcome!
Does this relate to seeing a fully formed singular eye staring back at you? This happened in meditation at night, and in the morning as I awoke I started getting messages in my mind.
Thank you, Forrest. I have been seeing the variations of the cave: deep indigo with a yellow sometimes green halo- looks like a moving/morphing sunburst, sometimes the bright dot in the middle. What do you attribute a sort of crackling sound when I do the alternate nostril breathing prior to the actual meditation, the sound starts at the level of the ears and progresses higher inside my skull as I continue alternate breathing? Thank you
Paula, that's amazing. The morphing sunburst (with a hollow center) is the most amazing thing to see, isn't it? So bright yet so soft. ... Is it a Rrrrumbling kind of crackling? Because that would be the OM vibration in your body. ... The way I teach is to put your face into a shower so that both ears are covered in the water stream. That's the closest physical sound to the OM sound. So, if it sounds close to that, you're hearing the OM. Congratulations!!
Forrest Knutson Thank you for your response❤️❤️. The crackling is not rumbling, but short discrete medium pitched sounds like undoing velcro
Interesting, Paula. I have on this channel, some time ago, a video on the OM technique. You might like to try that to see if the sound resolves into something more clear. It definitely sounds like you are hearing the automatic sounds of your nerves in introception. ...The sounds that are usually described are bumble-bee, flute, harp, gong, river, and ocean roar. The pitch starts high, and continues into the low sound of OM. So, really, those are descriptions of pitch.
@@sylviekaiser1064 check your posterior/Anterior fontanelle if it is becoming gooey?
What you said is what describe what I saw last night during meditation. It’s like a darkness of tunnel or circle that’s why I mistaken that shape as tunnel .and in between my eyes or forehead I saw an eye . I was scared at first but I fought that scary feelings and then I saw it clearly . Something in the middle but I can’t truly see it but it became the shape of an eye . I wish I didn’t stop my meditation because I might see more ,something amazing
That's very good and make sure to do Navi so you can lessen the experience of fear.
@@ForrestKnutson thank you for the time to reply 🙏
Very cool!
Never seen white, gold, yellow, etc but do see pinks n purples. Have seen tiny white dot several times but doesn't get bigger & sometimes it vibrates like going in/out of focus but I think its probably my 2 eyes physically trying to open.
This dragon eye ball... So clear then it's gone... just the one though... somebody help me out. Why do I keep seeing this thing during meditation
Mine is always on without meditation (even though I do meditate) is that bad??? Please let me know. I see the indigo and purple swirl 24/7
Does it impair your vision
Bro..I had a eye appear to me. It was a blinking light that blinked for 2 days...this light then changed into a eye. I was wide awake..this wasn't in meditation...it was physical...Any guidence would help. Noone understands👁️
Hi John! Wow! The eye is a projection of deep brain activity. The corpus collosum I believe, and it can seem perfectly real. All of our life is an internal projection of information from the 5 senses. So the eye, when it comes, is just one more projection.
@@ForrestKnutson I really appreciate it Forrest. But this was not a projection. This light was in my room for 3 nights. Blinking and blinking. It was the most intelligent thing I ever came in contact with. It knew my thoughts and actions. It knew where my eyes were looking at all times. As I'm staring at this light for 3 nights it changed me to the core. I was a devout Catholic and never believed in any of this. As this light was blinking the whole room started to change...almost like I was in a different dimension. I felt it changing me. I got fed up with this blinking light on the 3rd night. I cursed it out and rolled over in my bed. I was looking out the window and the light appeared in the window. After about the 20th blink...IT CHANGED INTO A REAL LIFE EYE...The eye was alive...moving and everything..I stared at it for about 3seconds untill I got scared. There was a fog like mist in the room and I felt something position itself overtop of my head. This something is still there to this day. I know it is. I feel it. My animals see it. When I woke up the next morning...I say woke up but I never really woke up...I guess I just came too...my whole belief system was changed and my whole world was turned upside down. I realized everything I was ever taught or learned was a lie...I'm looking for guidence but noone seems to know how to help. I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. And I reallyyyy appreciate your response. Thank you👁️
@@johndodds8618 That is wow, interesting. Did you ever find your answer/ guidance?
💛💛💛💛💛💛While meditation, i see a fent golden ring, but it disappear and comes again.💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I am just 16 year old. I want more information .pls
Hi Sahil, that's the spiritual eye that I talk about on my videos. The center is the cave of deep meditation.
@@ForrestKnutson .ok sir, but i have to uplift my eye lids with the help of fingers to see the spiritual eye . Can it happen without it.🌝
When I meditate for sometime I realize I was passing thru a tunnel in space like it was high speed i could see the stars passing by that was my vision my eyes were shaking i dont know what this means. Need help
Hi Barbara, that's the tunnel of the spiritual eye, and it's taking you into the right brain. It's totally normal and very common among deeply meditating yogis. Well done!
@@ForrestKnutson it means that I was deep during meditation? I feel like I'm a beginner. Is that has to do with the third eye awakening?
@@RisingWellness1111 it has to do with shifting perspective and momentarily letting go of our body image.
@@ForrestKnutson wow nice thanks 😊
OMG!!!! This is first time ever I came across somebody, who experienced the exactly same things as I did!!’ Yes!!!! I had that too!!! I felt like all my body was shaking and I felt physically that I was like a rocket moving up through the space in very high speed!!! Wow!! I am so glad to find somebody who has the same experience like me!!! We should talk more and share our experience with each other!!! Wow!!!
Wow. Thank you.
Hi Forrest,
I get a series of rings or semi-circular rings that roll around the edges of my vision then along the bottom of my eyes, is this anything? I even had my eyes checked at the hospital in case there was a problem but they are fine. I did read once that they may be what is called 'the string of Pearls' by Buddhist monks, would appreciate your view on this. Many thanks Guz
You were seeing the eye. That's it!
Thanks for this!
I have just started with Kriya yoga as a discipline. I currently only see a blue sphere, variable in its appearances. Sometime there is an indigo over tone to my whole field of vision. Is this a good sign? I've yet to see any halo other than a flash of a circle that the blue sphere eventually emerges within. I've seen no sign of a star. Should I just stick with it and let the images come when they will?
Yes, exactly. Let them come to you. And congratulations!
Forest we have been in the cave and hangin with gods and love!
Fantastic!
Where did those windows come from
Hi,i have seen all u have said,but only thing i dont understand messages.i doubt.could u help me out in enhancing ths?
You don't understand how to get messages? Or you don't understand why you are getting messages? Maybe this will answer you: ua-cam.com/video/R75DNu6e5_M/v-deo.html
Beautiful yogi 🧘♂️
Robin!! Happy New Year!!
When I was a kid I can see those little portal dropping from the sky even if my eye is open but know I can't. What's tge meaning of that
It means you were dilating your eyes as a child, and seeing the spiritual eye.
Hi Forrest, First off, thank you for posting this video. I have a question about Shambhavi Mudra. I practice Transcendental Meditation and in March of 2017 I was sitting in meditation and without having any intention toward anything other than achieving a calm meditative state, I suddenly experienced ( under my closed eye lids) my eyes involuntarily looking crossed eyed in the direction of my nose. This went on for about 15 seconds. My graze was then drawn up the bridge of my nose to a position about half inch above my eyebrows. At this point I felt a pinching sensation. Sensing what was happening to be significant, I didn’t interfere with the process. About 30 seconds after reaching the point slightly above my eyebrows, the hold on my eyes was released and I then experienced a gentle pulsing or throbbing at the level of where the third eye is. I allowed my focus to stay in the area of the pulsing for the remainder of my meditation, which was about 25 minutes. I sit for meditation twice a day. This occurred in my evening meditation. The next three times I sat for meditation, the same process occurred in just the same way. After that every meditation has been the same, I have only to close my eyes and my attention will go to my forehead and the gentle pulsing and my meditation will be deep and rewarding. Since experiencing this, I have been looking for information on the third eye, but most of what I find talks about how to open the third eye or refers to the third eye in metaphor or implying that it has no physical attributes. Do you know anyone who had their third eye open in this way and would you be able to point me in a direction where I could learn my about it? Thanks again for posting your video.
Yes, I know someone, he's me. 😂 This is why I teach and talk about the 3 knots so much. This is the 1st Knot. The 2nd is the Heart, and the 3rd is the Coccyx. If you could look through my videos for any mention of 3 knots. I think you'll love to understand it.
@@ForrestKnutson Thanks for the quick reply Forrest and happy new year to you.
I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks. I’ve been meditating for several years now and since that time whenever I meditate I develop a pressure in my head which runs between my forehead and my medulla. I can even change its apparent location within my head. I call it “third eye pressure”, but I don’t know exactly what it is. I already see mental imagery whenever I meditate, but this pressure doesn’t seem to interact with what I see. I know that this is certainly something that happens to meditators all the time, but nobody seems to know anything about it. If figured you might know something. Maybe a video entitled “Third Eye Pressure” would help-that is, if you know what it is and its occult uses. Is there a Hindu word for it? Also, I’ve never seen the gold disc or the crescent rings you mentioned in the video. But like I said, I mental imagery all the time while meditating. Did I develop another way?
Hi Jon! Yes, this is Lahiri Mahasaya's first knot of 3 descending experiences. I mention these in a few videos.

A hindu name for third eye 'Gnana netram' . an eye of knowledge
Thank you so much sir for explaining in detail since long i was searching for this. I ve been doing kriyayog sadhana since 2015. I had seen once a blue colour circular layer at the third eye surrounded by golden ring and a star in the middle, that was so bright & clear that i can't explain it was a incredible divine experience for me. I ve seen it only once. Can you please clarify it sir?
That is the spiritual eye well done 🌟🙏
@@ForrestKnutson thank u so much sir 👍😊 I have seen it only once few yrs ago, i had doubt why that was not visible again..don't know sir.
@@prathamkumar6919 do some more Yoni mudra make sure that the room is very dark and you are a little bit sleepy and it will come again
@@ForrestKnutson Sure sir.
Can I do Sambhavi Mudra alone or is it necessary to consult a teacher.
You can definitely start practicing it. It's as simple as lifting the eyes.
When i close my eyes. My eyes create infinty sign in golden colour .. wht does it mean
That sounds like the golden circle, perhaps seen in double. Keep going back and it will change and clarify.
Last night I saw green eyes with pink Makeup what could it mean..?
Whenever you have a vision you have to ask what did this mean to me what is the impression that I get who does it remind me of? Did it remind you of a God or a goddess? Did it give you a maternal feeling?
Forrest Knutson there r few questions regarding experience in kundalini awakening ,first what could be the stage ,if anyone sees a gateway (dark door with white rays at the all four margins of door) in meditation,sec can u answer ,why sai Baba &all gures use to cover their head with turban /piece of cloth.What could be the stage or state ?
The 3rd eye is occasionally seen as a hallway.
@@ForrestKnutson - that means u don't have any Idea.
The same reason Sikhs wear turban, Muslims wear caps.
I had an accidental kundalini awakening and saw an actual green eye in a constellation that I later associated with as the constellation Orion and the eye spoke to me. And then I saw the same eye, now in white light at the top of a pyramid of similar white light with a goddess superimposed over the top. Any insights? I associated the green light with Osiris who sort of represented the masculine of knowledge and power while I associated the goddess with the feminine, or love/wisdom, represented as Isis.
Visions are based on your subconscious, and so will be personalized for you. So, I like your interpretation. That sounds perfect.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you for your response. The meaning is pretty clear, but the real question for me comes from the fact that I had no foreknowledge of astrology or Egyptian Theology. I had a vision of an eye of what I thought was a God in a constellation while I was astral projecting (I didn't even know what this was, at the time). When I looked in an astrology book I immediately recognized the Orion Nebula as the one I had seen, among many photos. And then I read that the soul of Osiris is said to reside in Orion, and that his symbol is the Eye of God. I also learned this after the vision. How could I see the same image that ancient Egyptians saw thousands of years ago from my subconscious if I had no foreknowledge of these things? I understand we all have our own Divinity within, but I don't believe I am the only one out here. This is kind of like the Theory of Relativity versus the Exclusion Principle. How do we create our own reality, while everyone else also creates their own reality, without cancelling each other out. If you wanted to speak in a more private setting, or perhaps over a phone conversation I am always interested in learning more and sharing my own experiences and thoughts. It should be noted that up until two months ago, when all of this unexpectedly started, I was a comfortable agnostic. Thank you again!
@@osanatural2228 that's great! I actually hold both viewpoints simultaneously. It comes through the subconscious, but who gave it to the subconscious? Not always, but often, it is a higher force. It will speak to you in the most resonate way.
Namaste sir i am just a beginner in meditation but I saw black ball covered with yellow ring once, what happens when spiritual eye opens
That is really fantastic. That is the spiritual eye that you saw. When you open it, you begin to enter into it; which is all that is necessary. Than we enter into absorption. Into Laya. Which is the right brain.
How is your progress?
Great content but music is distracting 😐
So helpful the explanation
Thank you Anne!
How can one know that what he heard was the OM vibration. Because I think that I heard that several days ago first time in my life( or in the time that I remember at least)
Here's a great trick I wrote in my book. Place your head in the shower so that the water rolls over both ears at the same time. You'll hear a deep and continuous thundering sound and this is the closest thing I've found in the external world to the OM sound.
Yes I saw it, and I wanna know if I should practice aim technique anytime I want or let's say right after hrv breathing, and if I hear that vibration, what should it give me, some deep state or should I just listen it and develop hearing of it. And lastly is it possible that during that technique one sees spiritual eye and hears om at the same time.
@@joncen2658 it's best done after HRV. I just wrote on Patreon how to use this sound to go into samadhi. Yes that's why we plugged the ears and hold the eyes at the same time. It encourages both sides of the experience.
Having problem with it can you tell me I can do it with open eyes but with close eyes it pain ,can you tell me time for which Hong sau should practiced(15min,20min like that),make a video about paranayama
You mentioned that your eyelids are still fluttering? Try massaging the muscles in the face all around the eyes for a few minutes. Best results of HRV breathing come around 20 minutes, but meditation should never be a chore. I always recommend to start with 5 minutes, and increase as you love doing it.
@@ForrestKnutson another thing every great Yogi I see sits in padmasana ,having some mudra made question-does making padmasana and other poistures and mudras help in spritual progress.if it how
@@ForrestKnutson why your name soest contain swami (forrestkunston)😂
@@anandkesar5042 Haha! Well, I left the monastery many years ago. I'm a householder in a Householder Tradition, and I'm very happy with that. :) You are very kind, and thank you for your comment.
@@anandkesar5042 The lotus posture is very stable AND it slows the blood to the lower extremities. But if you can't do it in a comfortable and relaxed manner, than it is better to sit cross legged, or in the siddha asana, or the half lotus, or even in a chair. Comfortability and being relaxed is more important to your practice. However, the lotus posture can still be a goal that you can work on a little each day until you reach it.

Thank you Anne. I took out all the music soon after this. So, about 2/3 of the way through my video history it drops out. Eventually I'll go back and redo these subjects.

A similar color
Sleeping exercises - can you elaborate it please once I sleep I cannot wake up
Did I talk about that on this video? Sleeping exercises are very useful for a meditation practice, as they help to teach us to let go in meditation. I can do a whole presentation on this subject, as it isn't a one line explanation. I will put that in the roster of videos to come. Thank you for the suggestion!
Quickly, the idea is to train yourself to sleep at will and wake at will. Very tricky to accomplish!
@@ForrestKnutson I am a student and I need that (to wake at will and sleep at will) please make a fast video with easy steps just like clinical mindfulness,with justified steps and hacks
@@anandkesar5042 Well, maybe I make these videos look easy, but each takes time to set up and shoot, and then hours to edit. So... Here's the first step. When you're about to sleep in the night, tell your Unconscious Mind (UM) to wake you up when you want to wake. So, like this, "Unconscious Mind, go ahead and wake me up at 4:30 am." Then set yourself an alarm for 4:45 just as backup. Keep doing this every day until you trust your UM to wake you every time.
@@ForrestKnutson thanks for this brief description for now
Q do you teach kriya yoga in video chat??
Some questions 1.did I have to follow breathing pattern in all my hung sau practice or I have to do for some time and watch affect. ? I can't do dhyana while doing Hong sau because my concentration is on breadth. ? I when I inhale I feel breath get stuck at throat?

Hi Forrest, it's really interesting how you connect mythology with psychology, anatomy and yogi wisdom. Thank you for making all this content available. It's really helpful. Two days ago I saw something like this while meditating (I just sketched this on the computer): ibb.co/gZTQMkY It was very dynamic and brilliant, I felt like looking at a laser show, like those used in concerts, I was amazed at the beginning but I also felt fear at the end of my meditation, I didn't fully understand the experience and felt confused. I haven't fully recovered yet from the impression and I haven't slept very well since. Looking at your video helped me understand it's a stage, this is the first time it happened to me. I am calm now and ready to continue my journey.
Hi Jo, if it was the same color as what you linked, you were seeing flashes of the deep blue cave of the spiritual eye. This is a really great depth of meditation. Congratulations!

Almost like an elephant eye?
I saw a tigers eye when in deep meditation today and have no clue what it means
It's a light and the vision of it is very fractal like and so it can appear to us in many different ways but it is still the same division of the spiritual eye.
Don’t hear this everywhere!
Robin you're the best
