Third Eye

Preparation and Training

One issue of preparation is, reading such an article about the third eye, even your conscious mind catches a part of the concept. It's not meant to make-up or even create a huge amount of expectation, but an openness, worldly and open mind.

Here are some well known preparations, which you can practice to open and prepare yourself. You can do it daily, or even weekly in circles, whatever you prefer.

Take a candle, watch the flame for a period of time, let's say 1-2 minutes. try to think calming thoughts, try to feel the room you are in, and feel comfortable with yourself. Don't stare until your eyes tear, but simply watch the flame, and allow your thoughts to calm as your body does too. Try to establish a meditative state, but different than a common meditation: with open eyes.

If you have a pet, like a cat or dog, try to watch her or his eyes, and relax and try to establish a deep peace in you. Pets usually reflect humans' emotions and thoughts and therefore teach us our own inner peace by surrounding humans.

Watch your face in a mirror, try not to laugh or smile about the ridiculous situation looking at yourself. Look at your face, in a kind of distance, saying to yourself: That's now my face, it's part of myself, my physical body, my vehicle. Try to watch your own face for 1-2 min. too, with dimmed light if possible instead of bright light which might hurt your eyes.

If you feel better in nature than in your own apartment, look for a place where you feel totally calmed and relaxed, for example a lake, or river. Try to achieve a meditative state, but as mentioned, with open eyes.

It's simply important, that you can calm with open eyes. It's much easier to calm and relax yourself with closed eyes, when the visual influences are disabled that distract our inner being, but for this procedure it's quite helpful to reach the same state with open eyes.
