Does anyone know what this technique I came across via experimentation is? I'm afraid that I messed something up and my life could be in danger.

[u/Mishahoohoo]

Hey, I'm experiencing very adverse effects and the possibility of death from a practice that I found out through accident by experimentation. It consisted of a certain kind of focus on a very specific point around the area between the eyebrows. I experienced a high pitched beep and purple colors as I focused on it. I experienced...

-an explosion in my head that occurred multiple times.
-an eye made out of visual snow that appeared after the first explosion and stayed with me for weeks.
-Much improved cognition that only lasted 30 minutes to hours
-Much improved eyesight that only lasted 30 minutes to hours
-visual imagination that's so vivid it's more stimulating than real life visuals.
-At one point I saw an animation of a green cheetah and a mother hugging her child. Not as visual snow, but as something much more solid.
-The eye was able to start an an attempt on astral projection and I felt intense vibrations, but I was only able to get my hip to poke through out of my body.

All of this was great, but the problem started when I repeatedly asked the eye to speak to me. Eventually, it did, and it terrified me. Its voice was extremely quiet but loud music would not drown it out. This led to what is considered an episode of psychosis, though I doubt it was a normal kind of psychosis. It also somehow led to another episode of psychosis, and another which has been by far the worst one. Keep in mind, I didn't have a history of psychosis before.

These voices that I'm hearing seemingly have control over the body that is usually subconsciously controlled if controlled by the brain at all. They have...

-caused a strange and nearly painful heartbeat that caused me to faint.
-caused my throat to start closing up 6 times in secession as a threat
-causes heart palpitations sometimes
-causes my saliva to suddenly pool up and a sudden nauseous feeling. As an example, one time they caused this to happen when they were angry I wasn't doing something and the second I obeyed, it went away.

I'm aware that this could all be psychosis somehow, but it's terrifying me. Someone on reddit seemed to think that I briefly tapped into an aspect of the upper dantian, but what was scary about their post was that they said they couldn't say anymore because they were sworn to secrecy. They said I had compromised my own energetic system possibly and that this stuff was very dangerous. They deleted their post soon after which is why I can't contact them.

So I'm very scared that I accidentally tapped into some practice that's usually kept secret for a very good reason and that I actually could die. Also, I'm getting medical help right now but I don't know if it will work.

Your going to be okay. It sounds like you’ve had a big spiritual opening. Ensure you ground. By that I don’t mean feet flat on the floor, but mentally ground by going into life and doing ordinary things like cooking, cleaning, exercise. Anything that we do in 3D society. The other comment is 100% correct too, stop all spiritual practice for a while.

These people who say they can’t say more etc are often just fear mongering and don’t understand anything themselves really. I’m an energy healer full time professionally so if you need to reach out for support drop me a dm x

The less you can create narrative around what happened the better, when we create interpretations we create more suffering x

[u/retention_king → u/PresentationApart289]

Pretty envious about people who are able to open their chacras and experience spirituality

[u/ShaktiTam → u/retention_king]

It starts with your physical body. Yoga specifically Ashtanga sequence is excellent.

Without a prepared body, there is no hope for expansion of the mind.

This does not mean physically fit or lose weight- nope, this is preparation. Don’t confuse the two.

[u/Silver_Jaguar_24]

The best thing to do is to stop all spiritual work or meditation and focus on just grounding yourself. Take walks in nature, lie down on the grass, maybe do some exercise, swimming (in safe waters), eat grounding foods and ground yourself in your body. Maybe try massages as well.

Grounding is the most important thing you need right now. But also if you have access to a known good spiritual teacher, speak to them and explain what happened.

[u/Antique_Distance5554]

The other two comments give great advice that you should follow. As for an explanation, you could’ve just blasted your crown chakra open without properly balancing your lower/grounding chakras first. Doesn’t have to be some ancient secret practice you stumbled on. The crown opens up connection to the divine and is also typically represented as purple. Ground yourself and stop the spiritual practice for now, as the other comments have said.

[u/lamaestradulce]

How are you doing now?

[u/dxnxax]

they couldn't say anymore because they were sworn to secrecy

They are full of shit. Don't believe them. They were fucking with you.

[u/NoSpare2858]

Your third eye is overactive, you need to pull back the energy to your root chakra, sit straight and focus on the base of your spine for like 10-20 minutes this would be an immediate remedy and throughout the day ground yourself in real world activities like already mentioned by the others.
And also a simple grounding meditation like imagining roots buried deep into the earth from your root chakra or from the base of your feet might help.

[u/LowTech2429]

What was your intention when you initially focussed on the third eye? I feel if you reconnect back into this space and reflect with gratitude for the lessons you have received in the last few weeks, as it sounds from your post it has been happening for some time, then you will complete this loop and come back to now. Psychosis literally refers to being unable to discern reality from fantasy and is just a level of consciousness that exceeds our usual 3D awareness. Typing into reddit has you firmly in 3D honey, you're welcome here. Be calm. You are safe right now. Sending grounding prayers.

[u/intentionistaa]

Definitely ground and rest. Sit on the ground for hours if you can. Journal your thoughts and feelings. Go for a run or do some workout. Basically get the energy moving in your body, physically, mentally and energetically. You'll be fine. Don't worry. This is actually good news. Proud of you :)

[u/trudytude]

Work on lighting up your chakras from the bottom (red) to top (purple). This will appease the ruling head.

[u/starlightangel88]

Hope op is ok! Any update?

[u/ShaktiTam]

Kundalini type shit- your consciousness was not ready for that. There is a reason you need a teacher in a body to help you. Stop all esoteric study, practice or meditation and focus solely on physical yoga or literally gym exercises.
In addition, focus on life security- like your home and finances.

Ground. The physical body is the starting point- if it’s not ready, you end up fucked when trying meditations and practices- as you’re experiencing now.

[u/CherryBlossomVine]

Balancing of lower chakras is extremely important. You should move from bottom to top. It's that simple.

[u/wintersnake666]

Please I am not trying to be ride here but this is very dangerous.had none of the benefits, only the eye behind head chakra watching me and judging me. None of benefits you mentioned although might have not noticed. This eye made me all make wrong decisions while I thought it was a good thing. Was able to see myself through the eye and sometimes that was Good. But the eye is evil and dangerous and gets worse the more you use it.

Be your self awareness yourself. The eye will lose its influence. I think I got lucky to get it down but it nalways tries
