After a rather difficult initial awakening (forced by proxy), I am quickly becoming well versed in spiritual theory, but I am having some issues with my energy centers. I have become used to my third eye being extremely open - I am able to perceive things and see and create valid synchronicities many are unaware of to the point of losing my mind a bit at times.

Recently, I shut it down manually on purpose, because it was causing my brain to ache rather fiercely, along with some nasty insomnia and threatening delusions.

My intuition tells me that it's like a muscle. If I work it out too much, it will be sore until it heals up a bit, then it will work again properly (perhaps even better than before).

Does anyone else have experience with this? Is my intuition correct? Trying to validate and get as much information as I can before I start working with it functionally again.

Thank you.
