Have you been feeling indecisive, worthless or depressed lately? These are signs that your third eye is closed. Opening your third eye will open the gate for magic to flood into your mind and, consequently, your life. If you’re unsure about what the third eye is, let’s make it simple: this energetic center or “chakra” – of which you have seven different types – is considered the “Seat of the human soul”. 

Now, pay attention: Without your mind, the world wouldn’t exist. Basically, this means that your mind is capable of shaping your reality. Heck, it already has! You might not have realized it yet, that’s all. Third eye power is associated with out-of-body experiences, clairvoyance, the ability to see auras and chakras, precognition, as well as a strong connection to the inner realms of higher consciousness.

You might believe that everything you see is outside of you, but the truth is that it really exists within you. This is known as “maya” – meaning “illusion” or “magic”. To put it simply, what you think you’re seeing is actually an illusion; a projection of your mind. So powerful is the mind that what’s embedded within it – or more accurately, within the brain – is a gland known as the “third eye”.

Wedged between the eyebrows, the third eye is connected to the pineal and pituitary glands. This special “portal” to other-worldly things blesses us with the ability to see beyond the physical. Once you learn how to open your third eye, you can discover the art of manifestation for bringing about positive change in your life.

Third Eye Chakra Information Summary

This chakra is recognized for being indigo in color. Located in the center of your brow, it is strongly associated with extra-sensory perception. Black Antelope is the animal that is associated with the third eye chakra, which can sometimes become blocked. When/if this happens, decision-making may prove to be more difficult, and you might even have trouble sleeping.

What are the Benefits of Opening Your Third Eye?

Psychics and “seers” would not be able to do their jobs without first developing their third eye chakra. Everyone is gifted in some way and by discovering how to open your third eye quickly and effectively, it is possible to gain knowledge about your purpose(s) on Earth.

• Unlock Psychic Powers – Greater awareness, the ability to identify inner potential and better consciousness are three benefits of harnessing your third eye abilities. While some people may be blessed with numerous psychic powers, others might discover – once the third eye is open – that they have just one particular type of psychic ability, such as telekinesis, clairvoyance or precognition.
• Succeed with the Law of Attraction –  This ancient tried-and-tested method of manifestation can be mastered by just about anybody who’s third eye is open. The “Law of Attraction” is a practice that involves envisioning/feeling one’s own dreams and desires until they transpire into reality. LOA focuses on mind power and since the third eye is the key to mindfulness, the two go hand-in-hand.
• Feel Happier – As you learn to control your mind with third eye-opening techniques, you will learn how to control your feelings and emotions. When someone undergoes a spiritual awakening and realizes that anything is possible once a connection is established with the Almighty Universe, they will feel free, positive and motivated in the knowledge that they are in control of their destiny.
• Experience Vivid Dreams – Lucid dreaming is not only one of the benefits of opening your third eye but also, it is one of the signs that your third eye is beginning to manifest on a deeper level. Some people say that dreaming is a form of night travel to the Spirit side. With regular third eye meditation, your dreams are sure to become more lucid, vibrant and memorable. The wonderful thing about exploring the Dream realm is that you can learn valuable things in the form of signs; information that you can recall during meditation practice and utilize to grow in the Physical realm.
• See Auras and Sense Energies – Another reason why you might want to open your third eye is to get in touch with human nature. When you open your third eye, you will become more sensitive to energies, including auras. This energetic field surrounds every living thing (including you) and if perceived by your trained eye(s), you can begin to learn a lot about other people. 
• Practice Astral Travel/Astral Projection – The human soul is attached to the human body via an invisible silver cord. When you are in-tune with the energies of the universe, you can learn how to wander realms outside of the three-dimensional (3D) world we appear to be confined to. Astral travel, of astral projection as it is otherwise known, can aid you in personal development, help you gain access to psychic abilities and even recall your past life! 
• Boost Imagination and Creativity – Opening up your mind with third eye activation is a surefire way to kick-start your brain into high gear. If there ever was a good time to start a new project or embark on a great adventure, it’s when you open your third eye! Intuition and spiritual connection will be strong at this time, so you can rest assured that you’ll be divinely guided and protected.  
• Greater Awareness – Clarity, concentration and spiritual awareness will be ameliorated when you learn how to open your third eye. After all, it is the gateway to higher consciousness! Greater awareness means that you will establish a stronger relationship with the spiritual world; meaning that your “guides” and “angels” will be steering you along the right path to live your best life.

Ways to Open Your Third Eye Quickly 

While some people may be lucky enough to have an active third eye from a young age – such as children who have “imaginary friends” and people who are able to see/communicate with spirits without the desire to do so – others will need to work at it. Nonetheless, everybody has a third eye and therefore everybody can learn some techniques to activate the third eye.

Below, we discuss 14 ways to open your third eye with guaranteed results:

1. Meditate on a Daily Basis – Daily meditation can drastically enhance your everyday life. Aside from clearing the mind and allowing for the universal energies to flow throughout your very being, you can also use meditation to open your third eye.
2. Eat Foods that Decalcify the Pineal Gland – If you didn’t already know, to “decalcify” a “calcified” pineal gland essentially means to “unblock” the third eye. The sad truth is that many everyday products, habits and ingestible ingredients can calcify the pineal gland; a fancy term for the third eye. Examples include fluoride, tobacco, alcohol, junk food and distractions in the form of television and social media. By loading up on superfoods like eggplant, purple kale, grapes, blueberries,, cacao and purple sweet potatoes, you can decalcify the pineal gland and open yourself up to universal magic.
3. Introduce Crystal Energy into your Aura – An energetic field surrounds every living thing and while each person’s aura is unique, they can all be enhanced using crystal energy. Crystals are natural formations that are capable of absorbing, releasing and transmitting energy. Don’t believe it? Think of the fact that crystal quartz is used in clocks and watches; crystals can essentially manipulate time and speed up the manifestation process if you know how to use them properly! Meditating with crystals that complement the Ajna eye chakra is an effective way of opening the third eye. Recommended crystals include laboradorite, amethyst, lapis lazuli and selenite.
4. Transfer Kundalini Energy with Yoga Practices – Located at the base of the spine is a form of divine energy that Hindus refer to as “kundalini”. When a fetus is conceived, this form of energy is said to be already active and creating possibilities on the subtle planes, suggesting that it may influence our physical nature. Certain yoga practices can activate this type of energy; often referred to as feeling like “golden liquid-love energy”. When kundalini energy is activated and starts rising up the spine, the third eye will burst into action. Some energizing kundalini yoga poses for opening the third eye include the Easy Pose (Sukasana), Spinal Flexes (Seated Cat Cow Pose) and Mountain Pose (Tadasana).
5. Write Down What You Remember About Your Dreams – Each dream can harbor a hidden meaning from your ancestors, spirit guides, guardian angels or ascended masters. With that being said, it’s worth opening your third eye chakra to begin perceiving and interpreting the information you are exposed to during the dream state. A good way of doing this is to keep a journal or sketchbook next to your bed. Write/draw in it whatever you can remember each time you wake up. As time progresses, your subconscious will start portraying deeper levels of your inner thoughts, emotions and, if you’re lucky, messages from the Spirit realm. Consequently, this will help to activate your third eye.
6. Use Sound Healing Techniques – The ancient practice of sound healing is still as popular today as it was some 4,000 years ago. Sound healing is believed to have originated in China’s Bronze Age; a time when humans were less distracted by technology and were likely more connected to the spiritual realm. It is entirely possible to speed up third eye activation – as well as cleanse the third eye – by engaging in a guided sound meditation. The frequency of different metal bowls – known as “tibetan bowls” – can distribute alternating sound waves throughout the body and balance the chakras. In fact, different types of tibetan sound bowls correspond with different chakras; 438 hz is associated with the third eye chakra. Binaural beats can also be listened to for enhancing awareness and divinity.
7. Visit a Reiki Master – Did you know that Reiki masters/practitioners can channel positive energy into your body and potentially trigger a third eye awakening? Masters of this art are skilled at placing their hands and/or crystals over specific regions of the body to activate one or all of the chakras. If you intend on doing a Reiki practice to open the third eye, you will be invited to attract air and light into the brow chakra by inhaling deeply. With each exhale, you can learn how to release pain, fear and resistance; creating space in the third eye chakra to welcome much-needed energy.
8. Chant “Om” Throughout the Day – Om is the seed sound of the 6th Chakra (Ajna or 3rd Eye Chakra). This sacred sound is said to be the “sound of the universe” and if you chant it several times throughout the day, you could activate your Ajna Chakra. “Om” is favored as a spiritual recitation in various religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism.
9. Start a Manifestation Journal – Not only could this technique assist you in activating the third eye but also, it is a fantastic method of turning your dreams into reality. The better your ability to manifest, the stronger your connection to the spiritual realm will be. Writing down your goals as though you’ve already accomplished them will imprint your order into the universe, so to speak. As a result, the universe will conspire to bring you what you want/deserve. However, in order for a manifestation journal to work, you must meditate on the vision(s) of what’s written inside the book. Since meditation opens the third eye and, since manifesting is exciting, this is a fun technique to try!
10. Repeat Affirmations and Mantras – Perhaps one of the most effective methods of opening the third eye chakra is to say affirmations and mantras throughout the day. Starting your day off with gratitude is an effective way of raising your vibration and sending energy to your third eye chakra. Positive affirmations have even been shown to improve mood and relieve anxiety, as proven in this study.
11. Gaze at Light Sources – Another way of opening your third eye is to gaze at subtle sources of light. Looking into the light could essentially help you to access your light, but we’re not talking about staring directly into the blazing sun! Become mesmerized by the glow of a candle or daydream as your eyes focus upon the gentle radiance of a sunset. 
12. Become Mindful of Your Daily Life – Ever read the book, “The Power of Now” before? This is one of many books focused on mindfulness and living in the moment. An important underlying message of this book is that we, as human beings, need not endure sadness, fear, anxiety or self-doubt so long as we are present. With third eye opening techniques, you can learn how to become aware of the thoughts, feelings and emotions that run through your everyday life. The benefits of being mindful are boundless, and include improved decision-making, a greater sense of gratitude and a stronger connection to your “higher self”.
13. Spend Time in Nature – Getting in touch with Mother Nature could help you to better understand your psychic/spiritual nature. Surrounding yourself with sunlight, fresh air, flora and fauna could greatly increase your spiritual connection. Factually, some studies like this one have shown that exposing oneself to nature can trigger a release of brainwaves, much like the brain waves that are released during a meditation session.
14. Reads Books About Spirituality and Third Eye Practices – Aside from “The Power of Now” that we mentioned above, a wide assortment of books are recommended for teaching you how to open your third eye. Whether you get yours from the local library, a bookstore, Amazon or the Kindle store, you’re guaranteed to benefit when you absorb words at your own pace. Some best-selling and well-reviewed books on third eye practices include Jed McKenna’s Theory of Everything, The Four Agreements and The Untethered Soul.

Signs Your Third Eye is Starting to Open

If you have been practicing these techniques to open the third eye properly and consistently, you should start noticing results in no time. It’s a good idea to keep a journal of any strange or “awakening” experiences that transpire after practicing third eye activation; this will keep you motivated to continue reaching higher levels of consciousness. Moreover, writing a journal of your third eye experiences will make you believe that you seriously do possess super powers!

Let’s take a look at some of the signs that your third eye is opening:

• Pressure Between the Eyebrows – When you begin to open your third eye chakra and receive spiritual messages from the universe, you may feel a sensation of pressure building between the eyebrows; more likely to happen when you are in a relaxed state, such as during meditation, when you’re relaxing in bed at night or simply when you’re winding down on the sofa. 
• Feelings of Intuition and Foresight – If you’ve been following your gut instinct lately and experiencing positive results, congratulations! This means that you’ve been blessed with the gift of intuition; a benefit of opening your third eye. As your third eye opens, your intuition will blossom and you’ll be capable of detecting those inner feelings of insight/foresight that lead you to making the right choices in life, as opposed to making the wrong decisions when you’re distracted, e.g. by technology, work, negative thoughts and toxic people/situations.
• Deeper Self-Love, Acceptance and Reliance – During those moments when you feel hopeless or “lost” in regards to what your purpose on this earth is, it’s likely that your third eye is closed. Conversely, if you have started to respect yourself more, feel more confident and trust your gut instincts more than you normally would, this is a definitive sign that your third eye is open; or, at the very least, starting to open. One of the major benefits associated with the third eye chakra opening is that you will start to rely on yourself more frequently amid the challenges that life presents you with. 
• Seeing Lights with Your Eyes Closed/Open – You may notice the corresponding third eye chakra color when you close your eyes and meditate or see the spiritual eye” – a white star with five points concealed inside a dark blue sphere, with a golden circle around it. Alternatively, if you see sparkles or flashes of light from the corner of your eye, this means that your third eye has opened and allowed you to perceive the energies of your spirit guides and guardian angels.
• Hearing Unexplained Noises – Should you be gifted with clairaudience – the gift of hearing spiritual sounds – you may hear sounds that cannot be otherwise explained. Also known as “clear hearing”, this psychic extrasensory gift may present itself once the third eye starts opening. You may recognize sounds from Spirit in the form of instrumental music playing, voices of deceased loved ones, voices of people you don’t recognize and any other type of sound that arises with no explanation.
