A Third Eye Meditation To Open Your Psychic Ability

The third eye is also known as the sixth chakra and is located between the eyebrows and a little higher than the bridge of the nose. Through utilizing a third eye meditation you can open your subtle senses to perceive higher-dimensional worlds and energies. The third eye is the center of what is called clairvoyant sight which is a word derived from the French, meaning "clear vision," and refers to the higher-sense ability to intuitively see or perceive subtle energies. Sometimes this is referred to as a sixth sense which means a capability to access impressions that lie beyond the recognized five physical senses.

You'll Never View Things the Same Again

It is not necessary to be clairvoyant to be spiritually enlightened, but it does expand your perceptions of the energies around you, and this can be quite useful in clearing blocks, issues, and limitations, releasing karma, discovering information from your past, and exploring new and higher levels of consciousness. What you see with clairvoyant sight can be colors, pictures, visions, auras, chakras, and inspirational and spiritual dimensions. For instance, a clairvoyant can often perceive the chakras and aura energies around people, plants, and animals. Sometimes they also have the ability to see non-physical realms including angels and other dimensional beings and objects.

The third eye does not have understanding any more than your physical eyes do. It is merely an instrument that gives access to refined energies and since essentially everyone has a third eye, much like nearly everyone has physical eyes, with practice, utilizing third eye meditations anyone can learn to open it and refine the ability to utilize what it offers.

To fully understand what is being received by the third eye one must utilize the crown chakra. So in a sense, you take the energy coming in through the third eye and reference it through the crown chakra at the top of the head. This connection also enables you to see color.

Have You Wondered What the Third Eye is Like?

Inside the head behind the center of the eyebrows (about 2") there is a small ball of light, and the degree of openness of that ball of light determines the level of clairvoyance that a person has. Many people see something, but because of blockages do not see clearly or understand what they are seeing.

When the third eye is opened it radiates light, often with multiple colors coming out of it. There can also be rays of golden, silver, or white streams of light coming into it as it receives information. This forms the pictures, and inspiration that is perceived. As the third eye opens more and more the light emanating from the third eye grows stronger and stronger, and wider and wider. Soon the person's forehead appears bright and shining. In more advanced uses the more the third eye opens the more the energy rays expand to look like wings or like peacock feathers spread out.

What You Can Expect to See

In the beginning stages of third eye meditation practices, as the third eye begins to open, colors are seen, and indistinct images are perceived like looking through a steamed window, or like looking at something through heat rays on a hot summer's day. With experience these images become more and more clear, and the energies underlying physical reality can be perceived. Some clairvoyants say that what they see with their clairvoyance is more clear and vivid than what they see with their physical eyes.

As the clairvoyant sight opens more, you will see energy fields like clouds surrounding a person 10 or 15 feet from the person's body. These colorful layers of energy are what make up the biofield or aura around a person and they carry a lot of information. One of the aura layers is known as the mental body which carries the beliefs and conclusions from life experiences, while the aura layer known as the emotional body carries pictures and emotional energies of the experiences.

Why People's Third Eye is Usually Blocked

Because the third eye is connected to the first, second, and third chakras through subtle energy cords, if there are blockages there they usually cause a contraction in the third eye. With most people there are blockages usually in the form of fears or disbelief. Depending on where the blockage is, determines the difficulty of understanding what is seen. So you will want to utilize third eye meditations to clear the blockages.

It is very important to realize that opening the third eye and developing a skill in utilizing it generally takes a lot of practice and patience over a period of months and even years. While some are born with a more open third eye, most are not, but everyone can learn to do it.

How to Do a Third Eye Meditation

As with most meditations it is generally easier to eliminate distractions with your eyes closed, but many people are able to do this with their eyes open. Since you are reading this you will obviously have your eyes open, but you can periodically close them to enhance the process.

• You will need to select a place where you will be comfortable and undisturbed for the duration of this meditation. Loosen any tight or restrictive clothing and lower the lights if they are bright.
• Proceed with the third eye meditation slowly, allowing plenty of time to settle in and deepen the experience.
• Begin with a deep breath in through your nose and hold it for an instant before letting it go gently out through your mouth. As you do so, feel yourself relaxing.
• Relax your face by separating your teeth slightly, and notice that your entire body relaxes a little bit more.
• Invite the relaxation to spread more and more throughout your entire body... deeply all the way through you... relaxing you more and more...
• Bring your attention to a point between your eyebrows. Become aware that your third eye, which is the area of energy in your forehead, is opening and radiating light. Utilize an image of a light about the size of a golf ball radiating golden light much like the sun radiates light 360° in all directions...
• Let go and dissolve any fear, anxiety, or uncertainty, and any resistance or thoughts that this won't work for you... You can do this by getting in touch with the resistance, taking a deep breath, and exhaling out through your mouth as you let go.
• This is a completely natural process and it is perfectly safe. The golden light automatically puts you into a refined frequency where only positive experiences can happen. So just relax and allow it to happen...
• Allow the golden sphere of light in your forehead to open and send gentle streams of golden light in all directions...more and more...letting it relax you...
• Allow your body to relax more and more...
• Sense and feel you are becoming lighter and lighter as more and more light flows through your third eye and throughout your body.
• Allow yourself to let go and release all questions and all uncertainty...
• Give yourself permission to let your third eye open naturally and automatically on its own... all the time relaxing more fully and opening more completely...
• This is a perfectly natural process. Let your mind relax around any ideas of what to expect.
• This is a good time to call out to angels and spirit guides, and ask them to support you. Ask them to assist you in doing for you what you do not know how to do yourself.
  Give them permission to do whatever is necessary to assist you in opening your third eye and your clairvoyant vision.
• Allow the golden light to continue to flow through you and out your third eye chakra... Open a beautiful expanse of golden light; pure and clear over the top of your head.
  Let this light become more clear and pure...
• Now connect with your soul and Higher Self, and ask it to fill you with the purest light... Filling your entire body and aura with the purity of the golden light...into every place in you and around you ...
• Ask if there is a message for you about opening your third eye... pause here for a minute or two and see if you receive any impressions.
• Now ask what you need to do or know to open your third eye to further your service ... What else needs to happen?
• Notice if there are any thoughts, images, impressions, or visions that come into your mind's eye.
• It might feel to you like you are using your imagination or having a daydream. You may think you are making it all up, but in time you will come to realize that you are receiving impressions of subtle energy. Just follow the experience into the interior worlds and they will unfold on their own.
• When you feel you have experienced this third eye meditation long enough, slowly bring your awareness fully present in this place and in this time... and become fully aware of your body, hands, arms and legs...
• Say to yourself, "I am fully present. Here and now."
• Now take a deep breath, stretch out, and commit that you will continue practicing the third eye meditation.
