During breathing exercises and meditation, I feel a relatively strong tension on my forehead and between my eyebrows, to the point that it prevents me from focusing and staying still, and I must place my hand on my forehead. What should I do? Is there a reason for this, and is it related to the third eye, or is it just a tension in the muscles of that area?
If it is too uncomfortable or hurting, then don't overdo it. Take your time and do it a bit more slowly and gently. You might try looking gently at your Third Eye Chakra, but don't strain your eyes, and focus on it and fill it with brilliant white-gold light, like the Sun, becoming brighter and brighter, as said in the meditations section. You could imagine a mini-sun in and filling-up your Third Eye Chakra.
even accidentally when not intending to and sort of 'glancing' at it, I get an OK pressure and often a sort of tingling that fills the top of my head, which, if I do it enough, tingles down into my torso with which I get goose pimples down one side, and I imagine that as releasing happy hormones which feels good. With that, a slight, not-very-strong... 'head glow' feeling, like after one has too much cold drink or ice cream they get brain freeze or when thirsty and down several mouthful gulps of pop and it feels like it fills the head as a sort of rush - but not as strong and overpowering and not painful like with brain freeze, and more throughout the head, sort of thing. After a bit, the Third Eye Chakra then feels pressure-y and feels tingly, as well, where the pressure can feel a bit uncomfortable for a bit after, and similar to slight eye strain or tiredness.
Strong, uncomfortable pressure/pain should be worked on carefully and gently. Breathing exercises should be done gently anyway. Remember it says more here is not better. If it is too uncomfortable or it hurts, that might put you off for a while, and then return to it later which might mean it would need to be restarted from the beginning, so similar to 'less is more' it should be done more gently and consistently rather than doing too much and then stopping then starting all over again.
