Opening the Third Eye

1. Sit with your back straight.
2. Place your hands in the position as shown in the photo. For people who are right-handed, your right hand should make a fist around your left index finger; for people who are left-handed, your left hand should make a fist around your right index finger. The thumbnail should press on the side of the finger as shown, at the spot where the cuticle ends.

   When you feel a very faint electrical shock, you will know you have the correct spot. Don't get discouraged if you cannot find it. It should be apparent in those who have naturally stronger auras. What this does is redirect the flow of energy to the third eye.

   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 exhaling slowly through your mouth, 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 its point end facing inward, as illustrated on the left. The color of the third eye is brilliant white, like a miniature Sun.

   

6. It is very important that the above exercise be done for FOUR consecutive days, preferably 24 hours apart. 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 third 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 third 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 that the pineal gland is awakening and beginning to function in a healthy manner.

   You may also find that you can feel this ache or pressure whenever you focus your attention on 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.
