If you are in the pursuit of spiritual growth and elevation, read further to find out how opening your third eye can help you on your spiritual journey.
What is the Third Eye?
It has been long said that the eyes are the windows into the soul, but our eyes are limited to only seeing the occurrences in the immediate and physical realm. The third eye, however, is said to be an unseen eye that allows one to experience perception into the unseen and spiritual realm.
While also referred to as the mind’s eye or the inner eye, the third eye differs from the All-Seeing Eye in that the third eye belongs to the individual, and the All-Seeing Eye refers to the eye of God. The third eye, although spiritual in nature, is limited to the viewer on an individual level, but the All-Seeing Eye watches over all of humanity.
Where Is Your Third Eye Located?
The human body is comprised of seven chakras which are energy points along the center of your body correlating to the major organs of the body. The third eye is the sixth chakra, which is called the Ajna, and is located at the center of the forehead, between the two eyebrows.
Throughout history, in many art forms and statues, and even in depictions of religious works, the third eye has notably been seen as either horizontally or vertically placed on the forehead of those who have reached spiritual enlightenment, and who have successfully opened their third eye, making them ‘seers.’
How to Open Your Third Eye?
Through stimulation, purification, and the opening of your pineal gland, which is the gland situated in your brain thought to be the seat of your soul, you can open and activate your third eye.
Before opening your third eye, it is important to align all your chakras to maintain your stability in the physical realm. You can then employ different techniques to activate your third eye. You can begin by using spiritual techniques, such as displaying feelings of gratitude and feeding your third eye with gratitude, meditating, chanting, and making use of crystals and the energy they are believed to emit.
Meditation is important not only when you are hoping to open your third eye, but it is also important to maintain the spiritual pathway you have established once you have already opened your third eye. Daily meditation is the greatest key to opening and maintaining your inner sight.
What Happens If You Open Your Third Eye?
Those who have experienced an opening of their third eye has described the sensation as an intense awakening of their spirituality, feeling the sensation of an implosion, and a culminating effect of extreme, and sometimes overwhelming, breakthrough.
This intense experience occurs through the activation of a spiritual element in the physical realm. It is because of this intense and overwhelming sensation that it is recommended for all your chakras to be opened and aligned first, to avoid your physical body buckling under the intense spiritual experience.
Once your third eye has been opened, a unique bridge and connection will form between your spiritual self and your conscious self, which ultimately aids you in your endeavors in the physical realm. You may experience greater intuitive sensations, an acute ability to ‘see’ things before they occur, and you may become more aware of vibrations and energies around you.
You may also find yourself with the unique ability to explore different spiritual planes through a subtle ability of astral projection.
How Do I Know If My Third Eye Is Open?
It has been said that if your third eye was opened in a past life, it may be easier to open it in this life. However, there are tell-tale signs that will let you know if your third eye has been opened.
You may experience heightened intuition, you may experience foresight on things occurring around you, you may experience a greater and closer spiritual awareness, and you may be more susceptible to receiving guidance and instructions through visions.
Is It Bad to Open Your Third Eye?
As with all other spiritual encounters or spiritual awakenings, it cannot easily be contained in the physical realm as it surpasses the boundaries of the physical. As such, it is not necessarily a bad thing to open your third eye, but it needs to be done in a very careful way.
Opening your third eye comes with much practice, meditation, and preparation. It is not something that can be decided on and achieved in the spur of the moment. Through spiritual training and daily meditation and practice, your third eye can be successfully opened without disrupting your mind.
How To Use Your Third Eye
Unlike a superpower, the opening of your third eye cannot be used for evil. You can use your third eye for a number of purposes including for your own spiritual journey and growth, to help others along in their spiritual journey, and to provide guidance and advice to those in need through visions that you may experience.
For many, using their third eye is a tool for their own personal endeavors and experiences, but in some cases, it is used as a way of guidance for others. Many spiritual leaders who have successfully opened their third eye, use it as a way of guiding others in meditation and spiritual practices.
From yogis to high priests, they have worked on their spiritual being to successfully open their third eye and be a guiding force or beacon to those who hope to follow the same path.
Conclusion
Whether you are beginning your pursuit of a spiritual awakening, whether you are attempting to activate your third eye, or whether you have found your spiritual intuition to be extremely heightened, the third eye has proven to be a center of focus for you, and many others like you, all throughout history, and it will continue to be so for as long as people seek spiritual guidance in this uncertain physical world.
