I'm looking to hear a little about people's experience with meditation and opening the third eye as I journey to do the same.

I was seriously just looking for a topic to do with ascension, or something similar. By the way, love that name.

i haven't but i started reading the tarot. i also started praying more to god.. it helps calming my nerves, my mind, my fears.. so it's almost like meditation? good luck on your journey!

Oddly enough I feel like mine has closed and I struggle to find the energy I had manifested when I was younger. The only sign that I still have any sort of spiritual enlightenment left is infrequent Deja Vu-like experiences. Where someone will say something, or I'll do something and I can instantly recall in my mind how it will play out from that point on. It's cool, but uncontrolled.

When I was in my teens, it was a frequent occurrence, but that was the least of the manifestations. One of the memories that still sticks with me today, was when I was (I believe) in middle school. My schooling had always been rough, but at this point, I was tired and stressed and I just wanted to be alone. So one day when I was at my wit's end I wished (an oversimplification) for it to stop... And so it began to snow... And snow, and snow some more. I believe we ended up with somewhere near 3 feet of snow. Something unprecedented for the place I was living. My school was closed for 3 weeks. It ended up being one of those, "be careful what you wish for." moments though, By the end of it the solitude scared me.

Well, now at 23 I let my abilities dwindle away with complacency. I want to get back on the path but it's tough at such a pivotal time in my life.

There's one more ability that I seem to have retained. (or maybe gained? I can't really remember it happening in my childhood ironically enough) This may not even be a spiritual thing, but when it happens it feels otherworldly. I have this very intense ability to recognize people. I could have literally seen the person's face once in passing years prior, but they'll walk by me and I'll have this intense feeling. Like I can feel the connection between us resurfacing in that instant. Unfortunately, it never seems to go both ways as usually, these people will walk by me without even a squint in my direction.

I believe thats enough of my rant haha. Anyone else manifest any abilities in youth? or at all? I'm curious.
