Meaning of Lalāṭa:

Lalāṭa is a Sanskrit word, the following definition is taken from sanskritdictionary.com

lalāṭa ललाट, Definition: n. (later form of rarāṭa- q.v) the forehead, brow,  etc. ( lalāṭe ṭe- ind. on the forehead, in front; the destiny of every individual is believed by the Hindus to be written by brahmā- on his forehead on the 6th day after birth)

Location & Behaviour of Lalāṭa Chakra:

I observed the lalāṭa Chakra at the midpoint of the forehead and that's how it derives the name from Snaskrit. Some people observe it as the crest of the forehead, in my case, it was at the midpoint.

Lalāṭa Chakra is not the third eye chakra. It is very easy to confuse between 2 chakras as they are located closeby but the stark difference between tow is: Lalāṭa Chakra acts as an idea, thoughts manufacturing psychic organ and third eye chakra acts like a portal or telescope to view other dimensions.  

Even now as I type the lalāṭa chakra keeps spinning in a moderate speed, and I have to pull back once in a while to finish the article in hand. Both Kundalini provokes the lalāṭa chakra and lalāṭa chakra itself inherently possesses such a random untamed distractive energy. All yogic methods converge at some point in taming this orb directly or indirectly.  

Lalāṭa Chakra’s has certain objectivity and attention on its own independent of atma but still, Lalāṭa Chakra (Extension of buddhi/ intellect organ) compulsively and involuntarily sucks out extraordinary attention energy from Atma to power all its pursuits and random behavior., which becomes difficult for Atma to tame. 

 the Lalāṭa Chakra’s Spinning Light Cone appears like a Light house’s rotating flash of light except that Lalāṭa Chakra can rotate in all planes in random speeds.

During meditation in darkness, when observed from the core-self, Lalāṭa Chakra’s Spinning Light Cone appears like a flash of light followed by darkness, very similar to the experience of observing the lighthouse at night time.

In open eyes, while doing some work, one can still perceive the Lalāṭa Chakra’s Spinning Light Cone except that it gets more subtle. Subtleness can be crudely compared to a lighthouse's light during day time, lighthouse light and sunlight will almost overlap to laity but if one is acutely sensitive to see the location and spinning of the light beam from a big torch on top of the lighthouse, one can distinguish between the motion of light beam in the expansive fill of sunlight. 

The natural behavior of Lalāṭa Chakra:

Very often, one finds himself in a lack of concentration or mindfulness while doing normal tasks like reading, washing plates, driving a car, etc, this is due to Lalāṭa chakra's random spinning.

For example, As one reads a book after 5-10 mins of concentration on the subject, the intellect (buddhi) starts focussing on some random external thought concerning self or others which leads to unnecessary mental suffering, confusion, pleasure or trauma. When this happened several times, I psychically used Buddhi vision to check the psychic activity inside the head, the culprit was Lalāṭa chakra, it was shining its light on some random world news or about someone's situation as I am holding my book in my hands.

This is the common scenario in almost every activity I do, lalāṭa chakra starts spinning randomly every second slower or faster. Applying mindfulness becomes a compulsion at some point to get the work done on hand, this orb cannot be left untamed.

Predominantly, I have observed lalāṭa chakra usually plays and wallows with the short-term or flash memory debris, it does not pull up up the long-buried memory from the chest unless one wnats to pull it up and trigger more mental debris and confusion. All internet and social media sites are programmed to attract this orb to keep us zapping thru the videos and channels constantly.   

I adamantly tried to respin the Lalāṭa orb and focus it externally on the book in hand to finish the book but still, it went to spinning in other direction on some random distractive subjects. Sometimes, it gives a pleasure trip or anesthesia-like effect on the core self that I forget what I was doing and keeps continuing the distractions all along, by the time I realized the Lalāṭa orb tricked the atma and used its attention energy to focus on something unrelated, I vehemently try to respin it back to the book in hand. This is an ongoing struggle.

The habitual behavior of Lalāṭa chakra of random fast spinning has to be reformed to one-pointed focus and then to utter stillness without any motion of the orb and switch off the spotlight of the orb to a complete shutdown and detach from atma energy latching on.

Kundalini feeds the Lalāṭa chakra which is nothing but an extension of the Buddhi orb. So, purifying the kundalini by breath infusion helps to a good degree, even then we find ourselves in turmoil of thoughts due to the spin of Lalāṭa chakra during meditation. The remaining purification has to be done using the sensual withdrawal technique in mediation as shown below. 

Controlling the Lalāṭa Chakra spinning:

Controlling the Lalāṭa chakra spin is no ordinary task.

It is a rough, random, adamant, and very fast-spinning orb that is the cause of all mental suffering and mento-emotional fluctuations (vrittis). 

1. Pratyahra and sensual withdrawal is the ultimate solution to the orb spinning.
2. Mindfulness inside the body or body contemplation is a good way to reduce the speed step by step (Buddhist method)
3. Training Lalāṭa chakra on how to focus on one psychic or mental object or Naad or inside the body for longer times increase the levels of concentration from deliberate to continuous (dharana/ dhyana)
4. Applied mindfulness in Walking meditation in Buddhist practices is a pretty effective method too

Faster and random the spin → faster and random the manufacturing of thoughts and images

Madhva's writing on Lalata Charkra:

Lalāṭa Chakra is not spoken or written widely like other spinal chakras. There are super rare books that speak on Lalata Chakra in detail, and Madhva's Pictorial Meditation is one of them. 

I had several psychic instincts on this for more than 1 year but I failed to point it out accurately. Madhva referred me to sensual withdrawal practice in Mediation pictorial and there the energy of the book first pointed me to the page of Lalāṭa chakra, and that explained my 1-year hankering doubt on this orb of torch light spinning in my forehead.

I have attached the snapshots of the Meditation Pictorial books by Yogi Madhvacharya which discuss about Lalāṭa Chakra (Pg-188- 190)
