Question: Why is it important to focus right in between the eyebrows?
Babaji:
This is one of the ancient methods practiced. My Guru obtained it from the Divine manifestation and He gave it to us. That is why we try to teach this method. However, I will try to give you a few other points based on my experiences. This place [the point between the eye brows] is known as the 'commanding circle', or agna chakra. In the ancient scriptures they have tried to explain different chakras. Body consciousness is also there along with the mind. One portion of the soul's consciousness that has gone into the world, you call it mind. Another portion has gone into the body, which has given you your own physical body's consciousness as yourself. You will always be thinking, “I am this.”
When you practice meditation between the eyebrows, when your mind can come back here 100%, then you can be the commander of your mind, because mind is your conscious energy. Until then your mind will be making you to dance to its tunes as it runs in this world. Whatever happiness or unhappiness there is, you will be experiencing as if it is happening. So this is one of the highest, most recommended places to focus the mind. If you can bring the mind there with some effort, then amazing things will happen. That mind becomes totally concentrated. Probably in ancient times, why they called it the commanding circle is that when mind comes totally here, then it totally lifts the body consciousness, called kundalini, and they both become one consciousness. They get de-linked from the brain's clutches of reflections, then it starts going towards samadhi. This was my experience. These are several reasons why it is recommended as one of the highest methods of meditation.
