Yes indeed...few people will understand this... this should be done sitting or laying down foreheads touching with eyes closed... let the energy flow uninhibited between you & your partner ...don’t think, don’t anticipate... just feel ...remain open to give and to receive. This is a much deeper form of communication than human speech which is just a refined form of grunting.

Yes, I experienced something I can only call some sort of dual or shared meditation with my now ex wife. We would sit for head to forehead and breath as we would in normal meditation and fall into these extremely long sessions of meditation where sense of time and surroundings disappeared. There was also a sensation we both described as being able see/feel the body of the other through our closed eyelids, almost like a outline or lines of faint light. There were also odd sensations where our hands or legs touched.

As we grew apart for a multitude of reasons, the occurrence faded and though we tried to reach the same state it became harder and harder. We did eventually separate, but we are still friends and close in a way, but neither of us has ever experienced something like this with another person.

Both of us seem to agree on having the fear we may never experience that with another. I am hoping that is not the case.

Those things like the sky-eye, upper dantian, sixth chakra have more to with Qigong/Yoga than Buddhism if i'm not mistaken. Too be honest I've never seen/heard such a thing, and it's i'm not really sure it's connected with the Buddhist teachings in any way. It is practiced among cats however.

In Buddhist meditation you have to do it more in seclusion (Sunyagara, under a tree, etc). There may be other techniques outside Buddhism (at least Theravada) where you may have pratices like this, but this practice does not conform to orthodox way meditation is done.

There is the practice of group meditation in certain Centres and Traditions but an healthy distance is maintained between the participants. This can sometimes be beneficial if you are experiencing agitation as near by meditators can influence your peace.

To be quite frank, I don't really see much point in this from a Buddhist perspective. What is the purpose in doing this? Maybe you can have some interesting experiences with different sensations, and for all I know, visions or psychic powers, but in the end these things don't lead towards awakening.

At most, these things could lead to a kind of concentration being developed, but there are other ways of developing concentration that can be used as part of the path. For example, one could develop the jhanas and then use them as a basis for examination. Practicing in that way would probably lead to a lot more pleasure than meditating on the chakras with your foreheads together, and it can be used to gain awakening.
