What Is The Third Eye?
It is the gateway to the spiritual realm and higher self.
The third eye in many religions is the spiritual center of the brain. The third eye is located in between the eyes which is where the pineal gland is. Many ancient cultures that place an emphasis on the third eye believe that is the gateway between the physical realm in human form and the spiritual, non-physical realm.
Pineal Gland 🧠
Most people have a pineal gland that is calcified or hardened. There are some theories that consuming fluoride can calcify the pineal gland as well as toxins we consume in our environment like pesticides, pollution, etc. When people incorporate spiritual practices into their lives regularly, the pineal gland is more active, just as any organ would be with increased practice (like the lung capacity of someone who does anaerobic exercise.)
Simple lifestyle practices like maintaining good emotional regulation, getting regular proper sleep, and lowering stress, of course, all have an impact on how easy it will be to access the power of the pineal gland and connect with your higher self.
How Do I Open My Third Eye? 👀
Keep in mind that you cannot force it open. It is a gradual process that can be expedited with daily practice and various meditative practices on top of healthy lifestyle practices.
Here is one technique you can try:
- Sit down and get comfy. 🌤 You’ll be here for 10–15 minutes. Find a quiet spot, in nature if possible. Make sure you are in a place where you feel safe and won’t be interrupted.
- Put on some meditative music if you like. 🎶 I really like to listen to 432 Hz. I find this particular frequency to be extremely uplifting and revitalizing. This frequency is also said to release emotional blockages and is known as the natural tuning of the Universe. Research shows that people feel more relaxed when listening to music at this frequency as it increases alpha waves in the brain, thus aiding with more restful sleep.
- Close your eyes and put your attention on your third eye which is located between your eyebrows. Personally, as soon as I close my eyes and direct my attention to my pineal gland, I feel a warm sensation. Also, it feels like there is pressure being pushed on that spot externally, but nothing is there. I’m not sure what causes it, but it’s a unique feeling that feels calming in itself. If it’s not too uncomfortable, with your eyes closed, raise your gaze to look up to that spot.
- Begin intentional breathwork. 😮💨 Start 6–6 breathing technique. Breathe deep diaphragmatic breaths in for six seconds and then out for six seconds. I prefer to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Find what feels right for you. You are going to repeat this for ten cycles.
- Following the cycle of ten, imagine a light 💡(indigo- related to the third-eye chakra, golden, or white-the sum of all colors) pulsating in a circular or spiral-like emotion around that area.
- Experience the profound heart-brain connection. 💗
- Ease your way into practicing, and slowly extend the amount of time you remain in this state. If possible, incorporate manifestation into this practice as well.
Remember to not put so much pressure on yourself, and enjoy the process. It should be fun, energizing, and fulfilling. Maybe you are hesitant at first so you ask a friend to join you in practice.
There is a multitude of techniques and exercises that can help you open up your third eye. Try pairing this practice with practices like lion’s breath, alternate nostril breathing, daily gratitude, intentional visualization, and manifestation,
