What symbolic or other meanings are the horizontal wrinkles on the forehead? Are there any connections to the dietary or health issues?
Hilarion: We spoke about this in our little book, "Faces," in which each of the quadrants of the forehead are discussed and there are ways in which those energies have some relationship to the specific periods of your life and so on. But generally, as this is relating to the soul's energy and those aspects of the various areas of the creases relating to a particular scarring activity, an area you couldn't get through, a wrinkle in your own existence to speak. These are symbolic of issues that are powerfully affecting you. The more of these there are the more issues you have to work with and naturally as people age these come up. Ways to look at them, to examine them and to share them.
But, at the same time there is the deeper reminder of what causes this. There is the aspects of deficiency of oils and fats to that part of the body. But, even with those with a great deal of these, those with good diet and those who are able to work with these energies of deeper understanding, these show up because of muscular tensions and the habits associated with this. The powerful energy often utilized in hypnosis associated with the forehead about such matters is also related to enhance blood flow in the area and how it relates to consciousness; the brain's ability to absorb, transfer and share emotion from the hypothalamus all the way to the frontal lobes and the ability to communicate with those elsewhere in the brain is affected by blood flow.
An example of this can be understood in a completely different context, not the symbolism associated with the forehead, looking at what this means and so on really only leads to some judgment about yourself and others and what good is that? Rather this other energy you put attention right now on your entire forehead. Notice perhaps you have looked in the mirror and you know where some of those lines and wrinkles are. Perhaps you have an expression of worry at times. Have that expression, think of something you are concerned about and notice how your forehead knots up immediately and just let it go.
Go deeper now and let the forehead be smooth, relaxed, warm. Allow the energies within that part of the body, a gentleness, an ease; a fluidity, a gentle wave of cool water. As the forehead becomes more and more relaxed, more cool. There is a natural sense of peace, of calm. It is as if the soul is saying it is welcome here. That you are loving and bringing in this energy when you relax that part of the forehead, that part of the body that resist those energies. That's where the wrinkles show up. There in this specific locations associated with the times in the past that you resisted those lessons, those energies which then gave rise to various aspects of karma, things you struggled with and so on and now just because; not in the way have done you have done it before through balancing; or doing the right thing, but just because as a little child would say with the energy, just because you choose it. You be the cause now. Then let it go as if to love deeply your own soul and its actions in being here the best it could.
