I had gotten sick for quite some time, and eventually got back into meditation, and had that effect I long so desired. My meditations have never been better to this day.

I was impressionable about chakras, due to me being interested in meditation. However, before that I would only work on my breathing, I hardly knew anything about them before. Plus, seeing as this got popular on the internet in recent years especially with conspiracy(not this one) and pseudo-science sites back a few years ago, it would be the only thing popping up next in line to mayan and Nostradamus prophecies. Was never into the mayans or nibiru that much, or new age alien stories.
I later realized it to myself that chakras were just to help focus, but I do like how they correspond with problems in, how should we say human perceptions. Anyways, long story short, hubris got the better of me.
After all, isn't the Crown Chakra detachment from our materialistic views or problems?

The Muladhara chakra is supposedly directly connected to the Ajna chakra, so I guess that's why focusing on the nose works for Ajna as well.
I've been into kundalini yoga for a while now, although I haven't truly delved into it in the way that I'd ultimately like to, and from my experiences it can be quite risky if you're not prepared. I haven't exactly had any hallucinations in a waking state, but on the verge of sleep I've heard voices (two times I think) and sometimes I've received vivid flashes of faces or certain scenes. I can't say that I've been scared of this, but at times I've felt so uncomfortable in myself that I haven't dared to turn the light off because I felt that meant that I would give up "myself." Another note is that my dreams have become very vivid since I started meditating on the pineal gland. One time I dreamt that it "opened" and that birds flew out of it. That was cool.
I guess the main "risk" with meditating on the pineal gland is that it can lead to a sense of complete detachment. Of course this is one of the points of kundalini yoga, but you must be sure that you're ready for this feeling since it can be quite overwhelming and problematic depending on your lifestyle.

I can be detached at snap of my finger, but then it attachment that bothers me at time. Not only that, I get anger issues at time.
