Many individuals believe that the third eye is one that can grant numerous powers to a human being. The two physical eyes show us the world we live in. However, the third eye or the mind's eye (as it is often called) can sometimes reveal insight into the future.
The concept of the third eye exists in both eastern and western spiritual lore. Also referred to as the inner eye, the third eye is supposed to be situated in the ajna chakra.
It is almost like a gateway to the realm of the super conscious.
The inner eye leads us to the higher realms where the mysteries of existence can be solved. When we say that our third eye has been opened, we refer to a state of higher enlightenment that has been reached.
Those who have strange and inexplicable experiences like clairvoyance, precognition or any other kind of experience are those who have learnt to see with their inner eye. Those who perfect the art of looking with the third eye are known as seers.
The third eye can be used to its full potential by concentrating on third eye meditation, which is known as 'Trataka'.
Trataka can be used to awaken the Aagya chakra located between your eyebrows.
There are seven chakras in our body.
The kundalini, or the energy field, gradually moves upward towards the Sahasrara chakra or the last chakra. Moving the kundalini upwards requires many years of dedicated meditation. Once the energy reaches and unites with the last chakra, you are able to get super consciousness.
Is There Really A Third Eye?
Although there is no real proof that the third eye exists, those who actually seek true enlightenment have reportedly felt something between their eyebrows. It serves as a stimulating point for numerous individuals who tread on the path of attaining spiritual wisdom.
Third eye meditation means that you concentrate on the point between your eyebrows for a long time.
It is believed that the third eye is associated with the pineal gland, which French philosopher Descartes defines as the 'seat of the soul'. It is said that the pineal gland is dormant and can be made active through third eye meditation. So meditation comes across as the only way in which you can take a glimpse into the world of the higher consciousness.
The third eye is considered to be an organ that is a part of the energy body. You can see different layers or dimensions of the soul after successfully opening the third eye.
Here by soul, I mean the memoirs of the light or the energy that lies deep buried within us which may include recollection of the past happening or a foresight to the future.
Therefore, the third eye can very well be considered as the entrance to the dimensionality of time and space. It is believed that many people have experienced amazing incidents by opening their third eye.
Opening Your Third Eye
There is a certain procedure that needs to be followed step-by-step in order to open this third eye of yours. And in order to unlock the door of intuitive powers, you are required to master your mind.
Anything in this world is possible if you have a strong belief. You can open the third eye if only you have a strong belief that it exists. The eye can easily be opened even while being conscious. Once you become aware of its presence, the next plan of action should be to know the details of purusa (attentional principle). This principle helps you to understand the importance of separating your dreams with your logic and assumptions. This is important for the sole functioning of the third eye.
Once this level is reached, you are ready to meditate and focus all your energies towards the opening of the third eye. At this stage, the temperament of your concentration transforms into self-understanding. Now, the attentional principle plays an important role in raising your vibrations.
Once you understand the concept of the opening of the third eye, just sit upright on the floor, or a chair or a sofa in a cross-legged position. Then try to relax your body starting from the shoulders.
You can practice half-head circles to release any kind of stiffness you may be experiencing. Close both your physical eyes slowly and try to focus your entire attention towards a point present in the middle of the eyebrows. This attention can be shifted to the lower areas after an interval of 3 to 6 min.
While following this simple procedure, there are a few things you must keep in mind:
1.Sensing is an important feature of this procedure. It is indeed necessary for you to be aware of the commotion that arises from the environment.
2.Your body has to be perfect enough to detect all the sensations arising in it.
3.Now is the time to feel, and experience the immense flow of sensations through your body.
4.Feeling helps you to recognize and separate each sensation individually.
5.Now is the time to reflect on memories, feelings, and sensations.
6.You have to notice every feeling that keeps coming up now and then from the store of the subconscious. You have to identify the present co-relation of these memories in order to understand their significance.
7.Then, ultimately is the act of refocusing concentration to stir each chakra related to your subconscious mind.
After completing the above mentioned steps, you are geared up to focus your entire power of concentration at the rear of the point in the middle of your eyebrows. If you are successful, you will come upon a presence that will allow you to observe. You will then see light spawning from this presence, and the opening of the third eye will take place.
