The Third Eye is a fascinating chakra that helps people experience the world beyond our physical sense of sight.  Although it might be undeveloped in many individuals, for psychics and mystics their Third Eye is a crucial tool.  When one is able to open their Third Eye, it means your mind, body and spirit reach acute senses of awareness, intuition, and spiritual growth.

The Third Eye houses the sixth chakra.  In metaphysics it is aligned with clairvoyance, interpreting auras and harnessing foresight.  In theosophy, or the journey to understand divine wisdom, it was believed that a physical third eye was located in the back of the head and through evolution recessed into the brain, forming the pineal gland, a key part of the endocrine system.  Today, we think of the Third Eye as resting on the forehead, slightly above the bridge of the nose and between the two eyes.  Since it governs psychic sight, it enables people to see energies, spiritual beings and increase our intuition.

Mystical people believe that there are supernatural forces that help us experience senses beyond our physical abilities.  They access the astral world via meditations and mindful uses of higher levels of consciousness.  However, to reach the astral plane one’s Third Eye must be developed.  Theosophy teaches us it is the most powerful energy source and highest form of ethereal energy.  This means the Third Eye is the gateway between the physical and spiritual realms.

Why an opened Third Eye is important

Prior to the age of 17, individuals have a more open Third Eye.  This is because children have been less programed to distrust their spiritual abilities or aspects beyond rational explanation.  They have accumulated less toxins from food or environment, as well as have a limited number of free radicals that impede chakra balance.  In adult negative life experiences build up causing an epidemic of stress and further hinders your spiritual talents like intuition.  Signs of an inactive Third Eye includes feeling confused, anxious, envious, jealous, judgmental and bitter.

Benefits of an opened Third Eye:

• Increased lucid dreaming
• Improved sleep
• Successful astral projection
• Enhanced imagination and creativity
• Seeing auras, energies, and spirits
• Gaining foresight
• Improved mental clarity
• Better decision making
• Decreased stress

Third Eye opening exercise

1. Locate your Third Eye. Focus on the spot above the bridge of your nose and between your eyes
2. Find a peaceful setting. Some people opt to practice outside alone, while others prefer a group session indoors.  Make sure you are comfortable, disconnected from technology and can be free of distractions.
3. Maintain correct posture. In it commonly believed that sitting with crossed legs is the most effective posture to open the Third Eye.  Avoid laying down so you don’t accidentally fall asleep.
4. Once cross legged, breathe and focus on a single image or mantra to avoid any distractions.  Let yourself relax deeply.  If you chose to meditate indoor, consider lighting a candle and focusing on the flame.  You also might find slow, instrumental music or nature sounds helpful.  Feel free to explore your relaxation options and begin to commit to finding a period of time each day to meditate.
5. Focus on your Third Eye.  With closed eyes, observe your Third Eye.  Notice how it looks physically on your forehead.  Sustain focus there until you see an array of colors swirling like a kaleidoscope.  Pay attention to when you feel a slight physical pressure in the space above your eyebrows.  Stop after 5-10 minutes or when you can no longer be comfortable.
6. Make it a habit. Repeat these steps for at least the next four days to see drastic improvements in your intuition, outlook and personality.  You may also choose to add crystals to the practice, specifically indigo or violet colored one.  Place them on your Third Eye during mediations to help improve stimulation and receptivity.

Link to the Pineal Gland

The pineal gland is directly centered in the brain and is responsible for secreting melatonin, a hormone that regulates one’s circadian rhythm.  It also has biological functions including: hunger, thirst. sexual urges, and aging.  To stimulate the pineal gland, and open the Third Eye, Theosophists and mystics consumed certain food including bananas, while avoiding processed foods and sweets.  They also reduced exposure to light during the night since staying up too late could close the Third Eye since the pineal gland is negatively impacted if not enough natural levels of melatonin are produced.

Signs of an opening Third Eye

6. Forehead pressure. There could be a slight warmth or pressure on your Third Eye, as if someone is pushing on it physically.  If this chakra is experiencing an energy overflow, a person might suffer with headaches, migraines or pain.  Thankfully this pain is quick to dissipate and shows a stimulated pineal gland.
7. Sensitivity to sound. In particular low tone can be soothing, while high tones produce an emotional surge.
8. Sensitivity to light. Colors will become more vibrant and intense as you Third Eye broadens your interactions with the world around you.

Having an open Third Eye means seeing the world through a new and exciting lens.  You will become more receptive to life’s opportunities and your full potential.  You will be a better steward of your physical, mental and spiritual self, while helping people you care about avoid misfortune.

When you leave a conversation feeling tired and stressed or you see someone come up on your caller ID and you instantly get a sick feeling, chances are that they leave your aura feeling back.

What Did They Do?

Chances are that someone might not have done anything really, but they have caused a strain in your aura. Your aura is like a bubble of energy that surrounds you and it can be part of your thoughts and your defense mechanism that your body has.

This causes you to want to have help and is part of your biological process and the bubble lets you know what you are feeling. This could be an idea and it could be a power of good and evil.

Your response can go from being tired to being happy, depending on who you are and who that person is and what they represent.

If you were to see your aura, you will see that it can change colors. The energy can move to or away from your aura depending on who you are seeing or talking to. It can change colors or get bigger or smaller depending on who comes to talk to you.

Another person that you talk to might cause your aura to become stronger, especially if there is love and bonding. Their behavior can affect your aura and cause you to have different color energies such as purples.

Your aura can have withdrawn energies and cause your aura to make you feel small and insignificant.

People will sometimes cause our aura to become smaller or drained because of their strong emotions. If you are an empath, for example, you might have a hard time keeping your aura strong and keeping your light bright.

You will be able to use these feelings to control your power and to help you to be able to understand what your aura is doing, or you might even be able to help someone to be able to express their aura.

Never let someone be able to steal your energies because your energy is what helps your aura to be strong and powerful. With a strong aura, you can turn your negative energies into positive things, and it can help you to be able to go through life changed and free.

Conclusion

You can always encourage other people to be free and not to be stressed or frustrated by others. Remember that each time you are faced with negativity that you will cause your aura to change colors and lose energy from it.

Psychic energy affects us in many different ways. It can direct our subconscious as well as our most primary physical impulses. It can also be quite subtle. Negative people can influence and even attack your psychic energy. If you’re feeling unmotivated, unattractive, powerless, controlled, taken advantage of, pressured to work extra hours, condescended to, manipulated to feel insignificant, undermined, ridiculed, insulted, or pressured to change your appearance or to abandon personal moral or ethical standards, you may be experiencing a psychic attack.

Whether consciously or unconsciously, people can influence your psychic energy by coercing you to do things you otherwise would not do. People with especially strong energy fields can use it both consciously and unconsciously, in both good and bad ways.

Psychic incidents are so dynamic that thoughts and concepts that originated decades or even centuries ago can linger and build momentum from one generation to the next. They become deeply ingrained components of our psyches, and form thought patterns that are difficult to break. Some such thought patterns originate in childhood when we incorporated them by watching our parents relate to the world and us.

Emotions run at specific frequencies, with negative energies operating at lower frequencies. Energy collects and develops into fields in spaces that are more prevalent in more highly populated areas. This is why egotism and narcissism run rampant in cities. Other concentrated emotions like fear, anger, and insecurity can mislead us with the illusion that they’re our own.

Likewise, group dynamics and the environmental impact of loneliness can direct our lives and force us to act in certain ways, like going out on Saturday nights to socialize, or seeking emotional satisfaction and security in a romantic relationship.

Our social groups can also significantly influence our worldview. If you surround yourself with friends who complain a lot, or go shopping to relax and unwind, or drink to excess, those habits will likely become normal for you, too. Similarly, if your friends are activists and speak up on behalf of others who are oppressed or can’t speak up for themselves, you’re likely to be more like them.

Another factor that leaves us susceptible to psychic attack, and thus more readily manipulated by lower-vibration rivers of consciousness, are unhealthy processed foods and alcohol. You may feel as though you are unable to control your eating, or your quality of health is deteriorating. By taking control of your health, breaking free of toxic relationships, and leaving demeaning jobs where you don’t feel valued, you can reduce the likelihood of a psychic attack.

Raise Your Energy Vibration

When you’re unhappy, or you feel as though your life is boring or heading in the right direction, you may be under psychic attack. But negative energy is much weaker than positive, and you can intentionally raise your energy vibration. You will feel happier and more optimistic if your frame of mind is positive and your love intention is pure. Here are some intentional steps you can take to help you do this.

• Wear black tourmaline, a shiny black stone that blocks negative energy, protects against psychic attack, and transforms negative energy into positive.
• Shift your mind into a more positive mode by meditating daily. This prevents negative, lower-vibration energy from seeking attraction in your field of energy.
• Practice Kundalini yoga. It strengthens your energy field by transferring prana into your bloodstream in the oxygen you breathe. Prana is a life-giving force that will fill your energy field and protect you from lower-vibration energy influences.
• If you feel murky or burdened, a salt bath can cleanse and relax both your physical and supernatural self. This ritual cleansing can be repeated as often as once a week.
• A walk or hike in nature can clear your energy field thanks to fresh air and reduced vibrational interference from other people.
• Visualization exercises can keep your vibration high., For example, when you wash your hands, imagine negative energy is leaving your body through your hands and flowing away down the drain with the water. Or, visualize a white or golden bubble of energy surrounding yourself. If a bubble doesn’t feel strong enough, strengthen it with bricks or steel.
• Avoid negative people You do have a choice about where you spend your time. Take your power back. Keep your conversations positive, and refuse to interact with people who bring you down or dump their emotional trash on you.
• Remove yourself from negative work environments. Switch jobs if you can, but if you can’t, hope is not lost. Use affirming words and redirect conversations in more positive directions to keep workplace environment energy at higher vibrations.

The Power of Affirmations

Perhaps the most powerful weapon against negative energy is also the easiest to wield. Affirmations, which are short statements you repeat to yourself, immediately direct your thoughts in a more positive direction. The more often you use them, the more quickly you will notice results. Some of the most effective affirmations to combat negative energy are statements like these:

• “I only allow positive energy around me.”
• “Great things will happen soon.”
• “Amazing things are happening right here.”
• “People treat me well.”
• “I return past, present, and future energy that isn’t mine with love.”

Once you’re no longer on a path of influence on which you didn’t even realize you were headed, you can start to clarify your purpose and set the intention to bring it to fruition. You can redirect your energy, raise your vibration, and fend off psychic attack. You’ll then be free to live a truly happy, healthy, and magical life.

Do you see yourself as one who is quick to help or heal?  Do you sense thoughts and emotions so deeply they radiate to your core?  You must learn how to protect yourself so you don’t let the heaviness of these experience weigh so profoundly on you that it affects your physical or mental health.

In particular, be weary of the depth of feeling you take on when another shares their woes.  Empaths are quick to be burdened with the emotional pain of another which will reverberate across their body.  Instead of being present with the person that is hurting and helping them create meaningful actions steps, the empath will feel like they, themselves, are experiencing the hardships.  They will then feel shame because they can’t adequately share this experience with another person without the fear of being judged further, and creating addition stress on their body.

Find a way to make peace with your empathic skills and honor your ability to sincerely care for the wellbeing of another person.  Know that this depth of feeling is a gift and serves as a beacon of light to those feeling lost in their life.  Just as you are able to keen know pain, you are able to enjoy the fullness of joy.  By using your talents for kindness and compassion you can help heal your community and even the world.  You have the innate ability to form meaningful and lasting connections with others that can provide them strength and inspiration when they need it most.  Through this reciprocal report you both are able to glean new and vital insights into your situation and life, which empowers you to grow as a person and global citizen.

By learning to regulate your power of empathy, you can prevent the flood of emotion from overwhelming your ability maintain optimal health.  Refuse to take on anyone else’s emotional baggage and watch how your ability to be present in the world dramatically increases.

3. The instance you notice carrying someone else’s emotions turn your attention inward

Be loving, compassionate and nonjudgmental to yourself.  Understand what steps you must take to be as supporting and kind to yourself as possible.

4. Scan, Breathe, Ground

5. Let the other person be responsible for their emotions
