A little background. I began just by meditating on my third eye. Just to try to see if I could feel it. Mainly because I did not really believe such things existed. I had success with my third eye in a short period of time, but no progress with any other chakras. I ended up stumbling upon that chakra test and it pretty much told me my third eye was doing all the work of the other chakra and my others were pretty much inactive. With the exception of very low activity in my throat and crown.

From what I understand the energy should come from the root and move up from there. In my experience though it seems like my third eye is radiating enough energy to open up other chakras. Now my throat chakra is active and gaining strength if I focus on it. And what I think are minor chakras on either temple of my head have opened up on their own without any effort on my part. So I am working my way from my third eye down towards my root. Is that do-able? Because it feels like my root chakra isn't even there.

I have read that physical activity will strengthen your connection to your root chakra, but I am probably more active than 99.99% of people. I really don't get it.

Also I don't even think what I am doing can be called meditation. After I first felt my third eye I just focus on that point and try to intensify the feeling with my intent alone. Now it feels pretty strong and I do not even have to focus on it any more. I can pretty much think anything. Even as I am typing this I can feel the chakras in my temples pulsing. It feels like I'm getting a massage.

I still have to focus on my throat chakra. In fact I have to focus more because I have to try to focus past the intense feelings coming from my head. I have read that some people feel them as headaches. I would say that there is certainly a dull feeling like a headache, but it isn't painful at all.

So can any one help me out? Is this normal? Are there certain things I should being doing because of my specific situation? I can't see auras even though I have read that is the realm of the third eye. Although I have not really done any exercises to try to see them. Is it okay for me to have my third eye so active without any concentration on it? Because I can lay in bed for 2 hours and it will just keep getting stronger without me doing anything.

It is normal beings who have spiritual developed before this life time but had hard family lives to have strong higher chakras and weak lower ones.

I have a similar experience as this with a highly active third eye. Only my root quite active too.

Energy can come from the cosmos through the higher chakras. The star of David represents the higher spiritual energies merging with the lower physicals as the physical is represented by the upward ascending triangle and the spiritual by the downward facing one.

I suppose that makes sense.

Have you had any luck opening your other chakras? Do you mind telling me how you go about doing that?

I pretty much just focus on where they are located and try to put all of my intent in that one spot.

*****************
This is a little off topic, but why would people experience new lives? I ask because I get the distinct impression that it was not my choice to do so.

You might consider reincarnation is not a very progressive theory.  And to use it as the answer (or excuse) for all things is getting a little boring.  We have this life to live, regardless of the belief in past or future lives on earth.

Meditation is actually a concentration on a thought.  Letting the mind wander willy, nilly doesn't get it done.

And meditation can be done with the flow of energy all through the body - the concentration on one chakra or another is just not indicated as the only way to go.  

Try seeing an opening at the crown - just above the head.  Out of this opening you send light to the source you want to connect with (God), and watch it flow with light, color and energy down through your whole body.  Be aware of the whole body in a connection - not isolated chakra points.

Out of that energy will come your own peace and contentment.  That is the purpose of meditation.

What if I don't really believe in god?
