Hi there and hope my shared experience helps..
When I first started meditation, I tried
too hard to 'stop my thoughts' and also to 'open my brow chakra', but the harder I concentrated (and I can concentrate like a focused laser beam), the more I got a sharp pain between my eyes, leading to a dull, throbbing pain at the back of my head.
Then I thought to myself (some thoughts are good), just why am I concentrating so
hard and what is it I am trying to see with my concentration?
Who is going to be left around to 'see it' anyway?
However, I couldn't stop the headaches...Jala Neti (nasal saline flush) cooled down my third-eye a bit and so did the practice of Trataka (fixed candle flame gazing without even
trying to stop thought at
all).
Doing Trataka Kriya is excellent for overcoming this malady...just light a candle (I personally use black to represent my Sacred Goddess) and gaze at the candle flame...then at the tip of your nose...then back at the candle flame...keep doing that for 2-3 minutes.
After that, just gaze at (not
look at) the candle flame and watch its every beat and flicker, without thinking about how it beats and flickers and what 'air currents are around that may be causing it to do so'...whenever your mind starts to wander and starts to drift off, bring your
awareness gaze back to the black candle flame.
It's okay to blink and breathe fast at first...that will slow right down after a few months of daily practice until you get to the point where you are hardly even breathing at
all and the sensation of your breath stopping is very exquisite, but just go with it...don't fight it!...bring your attention back to the candle flame and/or/both your deep, pranic breathing (which should have recommenced by now).
After you have successfully become 'one with the candle flame' through this practice and you can gaze for 3 hours like it's only 3 minutes,
close your eyes! you will see the after-image of the candle flame 'burn' a hole in your brain and awaken your third-eye straight away!
I have thought about thought until I thought no more and I have experienced Shunya 'total nothingness', but the experience only lasts for about a minute or so before I feel my head is going to explode from all the 'psychic pressure' and then
any thought popping back in becomes a welcome relief and I'm back to normal.
This should help you out anyway, but always see a doctor for such things
first to rule out any medical cause or obstacle!
Aum Namah Shivaya
