After meditating, has anyone cer experienced their third eye area every few seconds feeling like a tight ball or some other pressure then it releasing then returning weaker or stronger? Much like a cramp.

Does a massage on that area help releasing that cramp?

Are you sure you are relaxed when meditating? Sometimes we try so hard to meditate that we end up tensing up the muscles in the face and that can give the kind of sensation that you're describing... In my case, I noticed that I tend to tense up the face muscles if I'm doing more visual meditations. If I focus more on a thought or feeling, then it's easier for my body to relax.

I’m quite sure it wasn’t mere muscles. I believe I would’ve felt genuine pain if that was the caseMynah Marie wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 9:45 pm Are you sure you are relaxed when meditating?

I still get physical third eye niggles, for years now. I used to meditate daily, placing a finger on the third eye spot, but stopped that after 10 years.Draz’Khal wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 12:40 amI’m quite sure it wasn’t mere muscles.

I tend to be neutral about it and wait for it to pass. Realising it can pass is one coping mechanism. It's not inevitable. Gut feelings may give a clue to some of what's going on.
Here are a few more thoughts. They may be of no use and irrelevant to your situation - or they may be of some use, or at least of some interest...
* If you're practising a third eye meditation technique, you can use the remedies that method advocates for resolving such issues.
* As @Mynah Marie hinted at, it may help to practice a progressive relaxation method, in any case. (Or it may not.)
Relaxation work goes hand in hand with many spiritual techniques. It eases natural energy flow, whereas tension can block it or be part of a block. Micro muscular movements are kind of in the psychosomatic area but are real. They can be virtually subliminal, so hardly noticed. Or they can be engaged intentionally, to relax areas of the body and trapped energy. (That's a feature of a chinese internal martial arts practice called nei jia - literally 'internal skills'.)
* We can internalise resistance as tension, including micro muscular tension. If we think the cause doesn't have a mundane, physical cause, we may be adding to the resistance we have; not giving ourselves permission to relax in that part of the body. If we can give ourselves permission for that part to relax, it probably will, as so many of our muscles do respond to intention.
* Practising self observation can help with resistance. There are a number of schools of this.
* The other thing that could help is to use positive affirmation to relax the body part and ease the probably subconscious mental attitude that relates to it.
* Finally, we can invite our bound spirit companions to ease the energetic and physical discomfort there.
Losing the belief that it can't be resolved could help - but that's probably easier said than done.
