Benefits of opening the third eye

[Oceans]

Hi all,

I've been thinking a lot about my third eye recently and keep getting hints to open it (or do something with it)

From those who have, what are the benefits of opening it and where can I get some reliable and decent info on how to do it?

Thanks for reading

[Oceans]

I should have put a question mark (?) in the title but no input makes my character sad.

No response makes me

O well. Such is life

Good bye thread!

relax bro, people will come

REALLY!

Yeah, calm it

Yeah!!!!

i'm not going to lie...You embarress me

I think the most basic benefit is improved intuition, at least for me. Many types of meditation can help open the third eye. I'm not sure of any sources that directly address opening the third eye, although I'd bet they exist.

For me, I worked on improving my intuition. I would trust my random impulses and follow them to see where they would lead. One example is while walking on my college campus, I might randomly get the urge to take an unexplainable detour, or walk a little faster or slower. When I had that feeling and followed it, I often ran into an old aquaintance and had an interesting conversation, or I stumbled across something interesting, like a campus event or maybe even just a unique tree that seemed to communicate something to me.

I like point of light meditation, too. You can imagine a distant point of light in your consciousness and slowly bring it closer to you, gradually intensifying the strength of the light as well. Once you have the light established you can attach virtually any intention to it. Maybe bring the light in through your third eye and ask it to help open your third eye.

Hope that helps some . . .

Have you tried prying it open with a crowbar?

Sorry. Must have had an extra large bowl of "Snarkies" brand cereal for breakfast this morning.

Yes it does, thanks for the response. I've had that same feeling for a while now and follow it. It sometimes gives me what I want or challenges me....either way it was suppose to happen

I like the tree thing as well. I get that a lot from nature, just slowing down and enjoying my experience of life (even with other things_....didn't know that was to do with the third eye to be honest.

I'll try the exercise tomo, cheers for the input!

And thanks for the reply

I tried, but I got put in jail. Apparently a crowbar in the face/between the eyes is a big no-no

When I think third eye, I think perception, too. Opening it is a way of broadening our perceptual view. So it may be that we perceive more from a tree or the things people aren't actually saying. Maybe another thing to try would be guessing people's birthday or sign, whether or not they are in a relationship or maybe even what they had for breakfast. I find that a fun exercise that helps me awaken my third eye perception and that little voice inside.

happy journeys

Here's a book you should read on the third-eye...it might fill in some of what will happen when you open it.

Awakening the Third Eye Third Edition

[MiBeloved]

mrthejazz said something about a crow bar. That is not a bad idea except that it would have to be a psychic crow bar since the third eye is not a physical thing. In Lobsang Rampa's book which is titled, the Third Eye, he claimed to have had his opened in an operation in a place in Tibet, done so by mystic lamas.

But later on some high lamas in Tibet denied that and said that no such operation was done there.

There are meditation and yoga practice which facilitate opening of third eye. Some of these work immediately with some people and some just take a long time practicing day after day to get a break through.

Just like with psychic abilities, we find that some people have it and some don't. Some strive for it and never get it and some get it easy after a try or two, the same may apply to opening the third eye.

It is connected to astral projection and lucid dreaming since all those things involved the subtle or psychic body. It is all related.

I use third eye but I have practiced for over 30 years with it. I began with it in childhood when it used to open by itself if I laid on my back and closed my eyes. Later I developed meditation practice which facilitated the control of it and I learned to use it.
I have described these experiences and drawn mind diagrams which relate to it in my book Meditation Pictorial:

What would you like to do?

Think of the third-eye as a gateway that may lead to a great array of paths. My question to you is what path do you feel you need to take? There are endless possibilities with opening it in the first place. Maybe you just want to open it and see where it takes you? Anything from simple meditations to specific exercises will do the trick.

When I first started out I visualised it like Ali Baba's cave, with an 'Open Sesame' type thing happening. However I now progressed it to a Stargate-style opening with the mini vacuum explosion. Concentrate on it opening up and shining a very powerful purple light.

My advice would be to open all of the chakras instead of just one. It's almost like training one arm in the gym, and nothing else. You will notice subtle strengths in certain areas, while others lack.

@Philemon > Thanks for the ideas, i'll start fine tuning it and see what happens with my predictions.

@AngelPsychic444 > Thanks for the recommendation, i'll check it out

@MiBeloved: > Funny you should say Lucid Dreaming as I've started that practice and had one a couple nights ago. It got very strange, despite that fact i was in control I was ushered into a white room for a kind of briefing with a a group of people of which a woman was the leader. I lost control and it all faded away and woke up. Felt important that I listen to them and needed to learn something.

@Midnite > I remember a thread on here about a few weeks ago that detailed openning the charkras like stargates. Was that yours? and where can i find it?

To answer your question; What would I like to do?

Well I have this purpose of helping people. I don't know how but i'm doing little things in my daily life directed at that goal. Can you assist or help people in anyway by opening the third eye?

Thanks everyone

Opening your third eye? First of all, you must KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

For example, do you want to open the third eye on your forehead, between eyebrows? Well, maybe you don't, because it's not the third eye. It's ajna chakra. Ajna chakra is not some mystical object, it's a vortex with about 42 meridians on one side and 42 on the other. It's something like a chip, a damn sensitive piece of machinery that does a lot of directing and coordinating. All major chakras below are wired to the edge of the vortex, which goes inside head to hypophysis, epiphysis and spinal channels. You don't want to mess that up.

What you might want to do is always lifting your attention into that point. People's attention is usually focused on solar plexus with many negative effects to it. If you lift it into ajna chakra permanently (or thousand times per day or during meditation) you might begin to see the world quite differently, with your intellect and intuition. Which is something not many people can do. But don't overdo it, don't strain too much. Attention must be light as a feather, just being there.


As for the true third eye, my sources say that it is a special energetic structure. We have two important glands in our head - hypophysis and epiphysis. Their etheric equivalents must be awakened, they must radiate and when their energy fields overlap, the third eye is formed.
And this is not something that you do. If you attempt such things (like awakening the kundalini force) then nothing happens, if you're lucky. Otherwise you might hurt yourself or get crazy. Do not attempt this, leave it to your superconsciousness, soul, inner God, Atma or how various traditions call it.

Opening your ajna chakra by force might bring you some interesting feelings (damn trippy sometimes) but also just as bad headache, only the headache lasts much longer.

I agree with this technique, and it can have many positive results! It's also a technique recommended in the 'awakeing the third-eye book', I mentioned in my other post.

I've done this myself, and it's a very good place to start. Just focusing on the place between the eyebrows as often as you can all day long, while you're doing whatever you do. Walking down the street, standing in line at the store, even while eating, you can stay focused between the eyebrows, it's a very good way to start the process of awakening!

What i would suggest is to develop all chakras equally. There is the usual way you can open and close and energise using visualisation, as well as yoga and stretching and breathing and chanting and toning etc.. There is another way using tactile imageing that stimulates and develops the chakras. I suggest that. Look up Energy work by Robert Bruce.

Everyone has perfect psychic abilities. Remember that! There are those who like to say it's a gift, only a few have it, you can only develop a primary and secondary, it may never be strong etc. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Try doing this. You know when you get REALLY tired, and you have trouble keeping your eyes open? recreate that feeling physically. close you eyes and push them up slowly.

Now, scratch between your eyebrows lightly so you have a point of reference. Now recreate that feeling of pushing the eyes up, in that exact area. DO no move your physical eyes or eyelids of muscles at all, only FEEL yourself recreating the the feeling on your third eye. Keep this up for about a minute. In that time you will start to feel tinglings, buzzings. Your stimulating the third eye

another thing you can do is stir it, as if you have your finger going around and around the third eye. Do it physically first, notice the sensations of doing that. And then do it without your finger and feel it continue to spin round and round. After a while it will develop auric site. But i highly suggest developing all chakras equally, and then perhaps spending just a little time extra on the third eye if you want to develop your clairvoyance or if thats a focus. It's all about balance. Like midnite said when he used the weight training metaphor. If you just exercise the one arm, then everything is still going to be ♥♥♥♥♥.

You can do a lot of things with the third eye. Some of it sounds soo new agey makes me a little sick inside to say LOL!

You'll figure it out

Best of luck!

Hi Oceans,

Yes that was me.
Here is a link to the thread. Just go through the opening and cleansing of chakras part. Everything else there would be considered very high level work, and I recommend you have some kind of foundation with the basics first.

I am very glad to see that you want to help people with your abilities. It is the exact same reason for why I am here. I wanted to master my intuitive and psychic abilities to a point where I could visibly affect the physical plane in the most positive and beneficial way. I realised that interpreting messages from spirit guides and Angels, and healing people was aligned with exactly that.

I am currently still experimenting by communing with an array of Higher Beings for different purposes.

Go through the opening and cleansing process and PM me if you have any problems or experiences you would like to share.

Midnite

@ Roy Dest: Okay I’ll be careful. I’ll take the advice on going slow, thank you for your concern and taking your time to let me know. It’s always good to read the “caution label” on things

@ AngelPsychic444: Funnily enough I have done this before just out of curiosity, I’ll keep doing it

@ Jeremy: Awesome exercises there. Thanks for taking your time to write that and i'll try them out when i'm ready

@ Midnite: Perfect thanks, been looking for that for a while but couldn’t find it. Thanks for the offer of helping me as well. When you said "....your abilities" it made me laugh cos i'm no way near there yet


So when I feel the time is right I’ll start clearing my charkas and when I get to that area I’ll start slowly with some of the mild exercises suggested. Thank you all for taking your time to write out replies.

I've been wanting to learn to open and close my third eye for many years, and interestingly enough, I started to feel a tingle in that exact spot while reading this thread (with no conscious effort). I've been able to produce a slight tingling before while meditating, but it's never spontaneously happened before. I just felt like sharing that. Thanks for the link to that thread! I will definitely be reading that soon.

Simply focusing your attention in this area will stimulate the brow. Your body awareness is normally centred in your eyes. So when you look at a part of your body and focus on it, the nerves where you are looking are stimulated.

Notice when, if you are pulling a splinter from your foot for example. If you look at it while you are pulling it out, you highlight and increase your sensitivity for it.

Rober Bruce teachs that your body awareness does not need to be centred in your eyes. You can move this around your body. So, if you focus on your brow, then it will stimulate. keep your awareness there for a few minutes. If it doesn't work after roughly 5 mintues then that is an indication of a blockage. The sensation you are looking for is perhaps a slight to mild tingling, buzzing,, buzzing, fuzzing, pressure, coolness, tightness, warmth etc.

If you're more experienced in this field, you can expect the sensations to feel much stronger.

A wonderful technique I've been playing around with lately to awaken the third-eye is to just close your eyes and imagine an eye between your eyebrows, at the location of the 6th chakra. When you first imagine this eye, see it as closed, then see it opening slowly and then try and look around the room only using this third-eye. The first time I tried this I could not look around the room, but kept it up for a week and slowly I began to see a little bit, so it takes time, be patient if you try it.

This is a very simple exercise, and you only need to do it for maybe 5-10 min. tops, and after one week I started to have spontaneous psychic things happen to me, I was surprized at how fast it worked, and it is so easy to do.

I think if you practice this everyday for a month.... you'll have amazing things happen.
