To be able to ‘see’ clearly is the foundation of navigating our path through life. Many people say that there is no map or rule book when it comes to life. I disagree. The map is the vision that you can achieve by accessing third eye consciousness.
What is third eye consciousness? How do you access it? How do you apply it as a tool for development, progress and growth?
The third eye energy centre is located at the middle of the forehead, at the space right between the eyes. It is one of the many energy centres located in the energy fields that permeate our physical body and the field around us.
Third eye sight is described as a sense of ‘knowing’, intuition and ‘seeing’ with the eyes closed. I like to think of it as the ability to know without the dominating intellectual mind being in control. Because third eye sight is very powerful, we don’t need to overuse it. A gentle approach is better than a forced approach. We can’t force the third eye to open, nor can we direct the insights that come from this level of consciousness. We have to let it flow. As MC/DJ Pab says “let it flow, let it reach”.
In order to access third eye consciousness, we have to be in an open state. This means leaving the intellect, ego and overthinking behind. And entering into a creative, flowing state where images, feelings, ideas and visions arise. We don’t try to control the process, we let it rise up by tuning into the level of consciousness required.
Here is a simple practice that will start opening third eye connection. Remember that the power of the third eye is strong and intuitive. Don’t judge or contain the experience. Let it flow. You will likely experience the unexpected. That is a good thing. We don’t want to be in control of the process. It is a creative process, which means that things bubble to the surface and float away. Don’t chase them.
Third Eye Practice
Note: I don’t recommend third eye practice for anyone who is suffering from anxiety, exhaustion, high stress or mental health issues. This is because the practice can be confronting or reveal things that we aren’t yet ready to face. Working with a qualified therapist or mental health practitioner who can support you is an important first step. You can then talk to them about utilising tools such as energy work to support your healing. But, it is definitely best to do this in a way where you have support and a safe space to discuss any uncomfortable feelings or thoughts that arise. Above all, you want the experience of third eye practice to be transformative, powerful and positive – not negative or distressing.
