Opening the Third Eye
Note: Steps 1 and 2 are optional. Steps 3-7 are necessary. |
1. Sit with your back straight.
|
This mudra can be used at any time during regular meditation on the third eye. Keep this position throughout the meditation.
*NOTE: THIS HAND POSITION IS OPTIONAL. THE REST OF THE STEPS 3 - 7 ARE NECESSARY
3. Breathe in through your nose and on the exhale vibrate "THAUM."
Exhale slowly through your mouth and vibrate:
TH-TH-TH-AH-AH-AH-U-U-U-M-M-M in one long exhale (vibrate the sound one time per exhale.
Now this is important.
Your tongue will be vibrating, touching your two front teeth, as with the American English word "THIS". It may take a few seconds to adjust this to where you feel it in the middle of your forehead (3rd eye), don’t worry, just keep on going. Focus the THAUM so you can feel it vibrating on the middle of your forehead, where your Third Eye is located. This can take some time. Just do the best you can. You may have to try as many as ten to fifteen times or more to get it right.

4. Do the above 4 times in a row and then relax.
5. Now, align your third eye correctly by visualizing it point end facing inside as illustrated at left. The color of the third eye is brilliant white, like a miniature sun.

Then it is a done deal and you will have performed the initial step of opening and activating your third eye. |
7. After you are finished, it is important to meditate on your third eye to get the energy flowing, this way it will fully open.
Just close your eyes and "look" at the 3rd eye in the middle of your forehead. It is important to relax and not to strain your eye muscles, even though your eyes are closed. At first, there is usually just blackness depending on how active your 3rd eye is, then possibly swirling colors and shapes like a kaleidoscope. Like scrying into a mirror, the colors and shapes will give way to images when you do the meditation long enough and regularly. Remember to keep your gaze soft and relaxed. Feeling pressure here or a knot is normal after the above exercise is completed. This usually diminishes in time.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
1. One of the first experiences is a headache or pressure in the center of the forehead. This sensation may also feel like it is originating from within, usually an inch or more beneath the surface of the forehead as it affects the sixth chakra. This is a positive indication the pineal gland is awakening and beginning to function in a healthy manner.
You may also find you can feel this ache or pressure whenever you focus your attention on your third eye or meditate on your third eye. This is perfectly normal and eases with time.
*Some people can experience a migraine lasting several hours. The severity of the side effects will depend on how atrophied your pineal gland is to begin with.
