Hi Everyone, 
For as long as I can remember, whenever I get relaxed enough especially through pranayama, I see green and violet pulses of light in my eyes. Sometimes the light is more golden.
The lights come in slow waves, about one pulse every 3 or 4 seconds. The lights seem to start in my head, proceed into the center of view wherever my eyes are pointing and then slowly fade into the distance.
Has anyone else ever seen these lights? What are they? Someone once told me that I was seeing the sacral-cranial spinal nerve pulse. Is this true?
With all the experienced meditators in this forum, surely someone else can confirm this phenomenon. Does anyone here have any knowledge that they could share?
Thank you.

When I press on my eyes, I can see crazy fractal images. Is it anything like that? haha I dunno, Iâve seen a lot of stuff while meditating. Some of it seems to come from the void beneath my eyelids. Like it has that âfractal-ishâ haze to it. Last I remember was a face coming towards me about a week ago. Random more âmemoryâ like visions come from time to time too. Some of it feels âpast lifeâ like. I reckon itâs a third eye clearing up sort of thing.
I see auraâs from time to time also. I reckon it could be related to this. When I eat very little meat, this sort of thing seems to be more present in me. Sometimes Iâll see âorbs of lightâ in my peripheral. Like a blue ball of light in the side of my vision. Usually Iâll see auras âspewingâ out of someones head or mouth or wherever their aura is most present at that moment.
Itâs kinda neat I guess, though I canât say itâs served me much. Two strong memories of it was, this one guy was speaking, a blue sort of auric haze comes out of his mouth. I knew it was an over-active throat chakra sort of thing⌠but I already knew that about the guy⌠he talks too much haha.
Or once, there was a purple aura emanating from the side of one of my profs head, this was right before she went on to tell us about a spiritual story of some guy who, when about to die, he layed naked in his house, with a note on him saying âyouâre born naked, you die nakedâ. Gave me shivers haha.
I wouldnât be surprised if this sort of occurence started happening to you in everyday life. Like I mentioned though, this sort of thing is usually pretty strongly tied to your diet. I love meat haha, and this is just a âneat trickâ, not really something I care to further develop. If it happens it happens, if not⌠trust me, youâre not missing out haha. Itâs just more scenery.
Iâve had that green and violet flame on and off, not much nowadays, more in the beginning of my journey - had one great vision when I asked âwhatâs my purpose?â and was brought to a long trip in geometric structures before the journey ended by an altar where the green-violet going into gold-flame was burning! I have a friend who also has this green-violet flame present a lot of the time.
I asked a medium about it long ago, and she just said:
-Does the Phoenix bird say anything to you?
And I just blew off in some sort of opening⌠I had long ago written a short novel on Bird Pheonix which directly came to my mind. Iâll see if I can find it and write it down hereâŚ
I canât explain the relationship, just that it is something about the eternal lifeâŚ
Hi Tibetan_Ice
I remember posting about this two years ago:
http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1665&SearchTerms=lilla,flame
I didnât pay much attention to the visions after that. Now everything is just quiet
Hi Divineis
Thank you for your response.
When I press on my eyes, yes, I see patterns and lots of dots. The colors are quite intense and pronouced. Those colors are similar but much more intense than the pulsing waves.
Yes, I can see auras around people through my third eye. Those auras looks like flames of colored fire. Most people have a dark black flame in the center of their body with a touch of red at the bottom. The green and violet lights are different as they do not protrude upwards like actual fire flamesâŚ
Thanks again for your input!

Hi emc
Thank you for sharing this insight. The violet and green light that appears does not look like a flame. I know some Reiki practitioners who burn up negative energy in the violet/purple flame. It sounds like your vision and insight might be more akin to that violet flame. ?
Doesnât the Pheonix bird rise up from the ashes? I wonder what kind of fire burned it. I look forward to reading what you had written.

Hi Katrine
Thank you for your response. Your sharing has caused me to broaden my understanding of the violet flame! When I went to this link: http://www.tsl.org/violet/violetflame.asp from your thread, I was inundated with a shower of tingles and waves. It is a very powerful/spritual web site (at least to me). The two pictures of the atoms on that site resemble the âAUMâ I saw last week.
How does it relate to my new hypothesis? Iâve been experimenting, trying to see the green and violet light and this is what Iâve discovered. I can consistently see the green and violet light by performing about 5 minutes of Kapal Bhati and then fully relaxing by body and fixing on Sambhavi. I think anyone should be able to duplicate this.
Kapal Bhati is this (similar, but not quite to Bhastrika):
http://knowyoga.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kapal+Bhati+Pranayam
This is my new hypothesis: Performing Kapal Bhati (or some forms of pranayama) burns karma. I wonder if the green light is karma and the violet light is the fire that burns karma which is created by the pranayama? Every time I see the green light, it is followed by the violet light and then they both disappear. I wonder. But again, the violet and green lights do not look like fire, there are no pointy flame wisps moving upwards.
On another note, I am in great awe of your divine healing abilities. You certainly have a wonderful gift. 
Thank you for sharing.

Hi,
well the purple and green pulsing waves of light are present at the end of each meditation session now (and today throughout meditation). Further, Iâm also getting blobs of yellow or white light that remain longer (donât pulse).
It seems to be related to pretending to having a feeling of falling asleep and keeping a gentle pressure behind the brow area. What I do is pretend to be falling asleep, roll my eyes upward and release something in the pit of my stomach. Kechari too⌠Voila! Lights.
Iâm thinking this is a physical phenomenon related to the optic nerves or something.
Can anyone out there duplicate this?
TI
how fast are the pulses? My eyes used to go twitchy when looking up at my third eye, I imagine even a more relaxed version of this could affect the optic nerve. The twitching would also sometimes seem to make sort of flashes of undereye bloopy colors. I can kinda do it right now, though itâs hard to say what colors, I just know it flashes between two âmore prominentâ shades of whatever.
I did this back in the day prior to meditating though, it was part of a dream intention sort of technique, for âplantingâ dreams or lucid dreaming related stuff.
Hi Divineis
I must confess, Iâve had two Usui Reiki attunements last weekend and now I am at level 3. I think it did a whole lot of clearingâŚ
The pulses occur every 3 to 4 seconds when the purple and green lights pulse. At other times lately, there appears a blob of yellow or white light that lasts for ~4 seconds and then disappears.
The reason Iâm thinking itâs a physical phenomenon is because the spinal nerve pulse is supposed to be about 8 to 12 pulses per minute.
Here is a link: http://www.innerreflections.ca/cranial_sacral.htm
Perhaps the pulses/pressure is affecting the pressure in the eyes and this produces the light?
Here is a pretty good page on the cranial-sacral technique which also states that the rhythm is supposed to be 6 to 8 times a minute.
http://www.expertvillage.com/video/14570_cranial-osipidal.htm
I wish I could figure this out so I could either ignore it or find out what it is good for.
Ok. I think I found something. This is from Samuel Saganâs âAwakening The Third Eyeâ:
This is very interesting. Perhaps my astral body is becoming more prominent during my practices? Or my third eye is opening more?
As I sit here and gaze at some of the characters on the screen ⌠as I am writing this ⌠my forehead is numb in a localized spot level with my eyebrows and about 3/4 inch behind my eyebrows. There is a pressure there. Hmmm⌠My mind is calm and very quiet. It feels like I am meditating? Iâm centered in the third eye, enjoying this. Like someone gave me a shot of novacaine at the top of my sinuses. 
Calm, relaxed, no effort. I think Iâll go meditate.
TI
Tibetan, I think youâre looking a bit too deeply into something that probably doesnât really mean much of anything. I mean, youâre looking at both sides, which is cool, biology vs. the spiritual, but itâs too obvious that youâre favoring the spiritual and hoping that âthis means this and that Iâm at this level, which makes me awesomeâ. Honestly, I kinda laugh on the inside at people that speak of âspiritual progressionâ hehe. I understand where theyâre coming from, Iâve been there, part of me is still there, but the whole thing is a little ridiculous.
I donât mean to burst your bubble or anything. Honestly, being centered in the third eye doesnât mean much of anything without the right mindset. Itâll bring up A LOT of stuff and your mind will undoubtedly want to avoid some or get attached to others⌠theyâre both attachment at the core.
Iâm still easing out of a sort of âthird eye awakeningâ. I know what you mean by that pressure, it might start burning too, almost like some dude with really hot fingers is poking your third eye from the inside (thats really the best way I can describe it haha). I wouldnât say stop it if that happens, just sit it out, but donât feed it or you can go overboard, and bring up too much subconscious stuff all at once. Just keep focusing on whatever practice you were doing at the time.
I reckon pulsing is an indication of a bit of an overload there, a lot of stuff being cleared out, and the key is to just watch it happen, catch yourself when youâre going into desires of any sort, especially spiritual desires, spiritual ego. No need to feed it, no need to repress it, just watch as it slowly grows and dies.
The part I find frustrating is that most Qi Gong meditations in Taoism, kundalini techniques, etc ad nauseam all say to roll the eyes up and look at the third eye. Or, look at the tip of your nose. One instruction was to look at your finger and then bring your finger to the tip of your nose. Well, when I do that, I see the two blind spots of the eyes. They appear as two dark little circles surrounded by a faint yellow light. Very similar to the patterns of lights that I see. So, Iâm thinking that Iâm actually looking at some kind of fluid pressure phenomenon through the blind spot, be it cranial-sacral ebbing, natural nerve impulse cycles or whatever. I would imagine that lots of meditators cross their eyes and end up looking through the blind spots at the lights. No mysticism here except that it takes a lot of concentration to keep looking at the blind spots⌠And yes, it is a distraction.
There is no additional stuff coming up when I see the lights. Itâs just quiet and peaceful and kind of mesmerizing to watch the ebbing and pulsing of the lights⌠As soon as I get too tense the lights go away.
I have heard about a burning sensation there too.
Thanks for your comments.
yeah, I think the above was more something I was âvoicing to myselfâ in a way. Sorta like, I saw part of myself in you, and I just felt the need to blurt it out.
Thanks for the kind reply though, I appreciate it :).
Well, Iâve made some progress, I think. At the end of my second ayp standard meditation/practice for the day, the purple green lights were there again. So I focused my attention on my third eye area and simulated the feeling of letting go as if I was going to fall asleep. This feeling is sort like sucking in through the brow area, or pretending to fall asleep and fall backwards but from the forehead only.
Again, the lights got more intense and then the white blob of light appeared. I also noticed that I lost orientation of the body, as if I had become a cloud of vapour or something. So it got me thinkingâŚ
I started to do spinal breathing: On the in-breath I âsucked inâ through the third eye. On the out breath I pushed out. Then I reversed it to see what would happen. It seems that I can get some kind of âflowâ happening, both in and out. However the âinâ is easier.
Towards the end of the experiment, I would take a long deep breath and suck in through my third eye. This resulted in an intense pain at the base of the skull where it connects to the neck and a lot of pressure at the lower back of the skull.
Right now, I can close my eyes, suck in through my third eye and the lights appear (so does the pain at the top of the neck).
I think Iâve discovered the neck knot. I believe that if it were clear, I could have sucked in from my third eye down to my spine.
Last night I was reading this in âOpening the Dragon Gateâ:
So now, this has really got me wondering. Are the âflashing points of brightnessâ the purple green white yellow pulsing lights?
Is that a knot in my neck or a blockage?
I know the guru is in me, but the guru that is in me just doesnât have a clue. 
TI
hmm, just curious, is your âneck knotâ off to one side or another. Almost every time I go into meditation, and my body really relaxes itself, I always get a cramp where my neck meets my shoulder on the left side. I reckon it could be a throat to third eye sort of blockage.
My necks always been kinda stiff in the back. I know my everyday posture probably doesnât help. It always seems more pronounced while meditating. I reckon at least for me, itâs a blockage of some sort (that pronounces itself more physically by the knot on my left side. Though I can also feel an imbalance or blockage closer to the middle at the back of my neck. I think âmacroâ level stuff usually points at âmicroâ or spiritual level blockages).
another thing I just remembered, that I thought might help⌠usually when a certain pain comes up while meditating, iâll allow my focus to move to it. I think the key here is having no expectations, just watch the pain, allow your being to be âsucked into itâ in a way.
Iâve had some interesting results come up from that before.
Thereâs also âautomatic yogaâ. When Iâm a little tense, some form of automatic yoga almost always comes up. Itâs kinda like some force is acting on my body, or like my body just wants to move in a certain way. Iâll usually let it do its thing, and Iâll always feel pretty relaxedat ease afterwards.
So if you feel particularly tense somewhere⌠just bring your focus there, and let the tensionpainwhatever guide you. Your body always knows whatâs best :). All you need is to allow.
