Your third eye is talking to you all the time.
Your outwardly invisible ‘third eye’ is constantly at work. It is your pineal gland, the pea-sized cone of tissue behind the third ventricle of your brain. It’s number one role is to control your waking and sleeping cycle. It secretes melatonin. if your melatonin levels go up, your stress levels go down and vice versa.
It is your imagination and is activated in different ways, such as whatever you can see with your two visible eyes and the messages those eyes send to your brain.
Look after your third eye as you would care for any other part of your body.
There are lots of positive things you can do in order to maintain a healthy third eye:
-drink plenty of water – not tap water or bottled water but distilled, oxygenised and/or ionised water.
-sungazing. Find a point close to the sun (but not too close) and concentrate on it for several seconds at a time.
-embrace darkness. Lose any fear you may have had.
-love and forgive any shadows in yourself. Come to terms with your inner child.
-meditation
-eat only organic foods, fruit and vegetables.
-use natural remedies instead of allopathic/pharmaceutical drugs.
-use essential oils
-yoga
Five steps to enhance third eye activation
1. Ask yourself, ‘Who do I spend time with?’ If the answer is people who make you happy, people who bring out the Best in you, great! Spend as much time as you can with people who radiate such positive energy.
2. Get yourself into a different environment. Get some fresh air, spend time outside, go for a walk in the woods.
3. Challenge and overcome beliefs and ideas that limit your potential. Develop your self-confidence.
4. Actively train yourself to be a new, better version of you. Make changes to your daily routine and stick to them!
5. Set yourself challenging, rewarding goals and work towards achieving them.
In other words, train yourself like these rowers do. They will dedicate months of their lives to preparing for a race that, in most cases, probably lasts no more than 5-10m minutes.
They will practice as a team for hours on the water, whilst honing their individual mental, psychological and physical fitness off it.
They will build up their confidence and trust in themselves and in each other until such time as everything in their routine becomes as natural to them as breathing.
The secrets of third eye activation & how it transforms your life
Are third eye, concentration, and focus all interlinked?
Did you know that there is an energy center in your body that can enhance your focus, concentration, and also bring up intuitive abilities? You must have heard many spiritual people talk about awakening third eye chakra of the 7 chakras in human body and their experiences with it.
If a person is very focused on their work, then they could experience some form of third eye activation. For example, when a cricketer is very focused on their practice, when they are constantly thinking about the game and how it can be improved, they develop an intuitive sense of where the next ball is going to come. A top cricket player wouldn’t need an analyst to tell them things, they intuitively know what’s going to happen next.
Even a businessman who is extremely focused on their work, somehow knows how their client will react to a certain proposal or situation. The enhanced alpha wave emissions help them intuit what may happen in their near future, related to the field they are extremely focused on.
Let’s find out what is this phenomenon and the science behind third eye awakening or activation.
How brain waves are linked to our third eye
The third eye, to understand from a spiritual perspective, is the agya chakra or third eye chakra. There are seven energy centers in our body where nerve points meet. The agya chakra is the energy center located in the middle of our eyebrows (pineal gland). This point is associated with the ability to perceive things beyond the five senses, also called intuition.
The agya chakra is connected to the body’s pituitary and hypothalamus glands. Our brain emits different waves when it is experiencing different things:
Beta waves are emitted when you experience sadness, loss, stress or anguish.
Alpha waves are emitted when we experience calmness, relaxation, and deep joy. Alpha waves have calmer vibrations and act as sonar. Dolphins are known to possess a high level of alpha wave function in their brains and this helps them to navigate in the sea. Their sonar works similarly to a submarine. Physically, the tenderness of the pituitary and hypothalamus glands allow the alpha waves to spread.
Gamma waves are the most powerful and can only be experienced in a deep meditative state, also known as samadhi.
Our brain emits alpha waves when the body is aligned with nature. When one is in sync with nature through their actions and thoughts, their whole being feels that it is a part of the cosmos. Because of this, nature reveals certain things to a person who is experiencing high alpha wave activity. Commonly, this is called intuition.
The experience of gamma wave emission happens in our subtle body and only when we experience regular alpha wave emissions. Gamma ray emissions activate the agya chakra. When the third eye activates, we experience a sense of lightness in our minds.
Did you know?
In children, the pituitary and hypothalamus glands are quite tender which makes it possible for them to be more perceptive and intuitive. As we get older, the glands get stiff and some calculus gets deposited around them, the strength and frequency of the alpha wave emission diminish.
How can we experience third eye activation?
Meditation is one of the routes.
Whenever a person is extremely focused, and if they are doing their task with utmost dedication and concentration, then their third eye activates, specifically for that aspect of their life. It also works in reverse. If a person is meditating or doing other practices to activate their third eye (pineal gland third eye), they are seen to experience increased focus and concentration in the tasks that they are dedicated to.
How to open your third eye?
The spiritual practices that help activate the third eye are:
Sudarshan Kriya
Meditation
Nadi Shodhan Pranayama
Padma sadhana
These practices relax our mind and help it get aligned with nature. As the mind calms down, the brain function improves and the alpha waves start emitting. Due to this, we experience more focus and awareness on the tasks we are doing. This continuous awareness activates the third eye.
According to Gurudev, “Too much eating, too much sleep, and too much activity is counterproductive to increase in our intuitive ability.”
People who regularly experience third eye activation feel a change in the way their breath flows. Usually, it is seen that the pace of our breathing is haphazard and it either flows from the left or right nostril. People who experience third eye activation feel that their breath is very deep and centered.
This happens quite gradually and if you feel third eye activation then you will feel that your breath is flowing very centrally.
Team leaders and people who exhibit authority experience sensations in the middle of their eyebrows. This is also associated with the agya chakra.
Experiences of third eye chakra activation
Alpha wave emissions lead to the mind becoming calmer and more focused. Whether one is a student, businessman, artist, or a spiritual seeker, they can experience a positive change in their life with activities that lead to third eye activation and when it activates.
Some of those experiences include:
Better attention span, which has vastly improved from before. Their attention to detail and focus also increases significantly.
They also feel that their senses become very sharp, giving them a heightened awareness of what happens in their surroundings. The sense of sight, hearing, and taste are seen to become sharper.
Initially, agya chakra activation can cause irritability and anger issues. But this experience is similar to cleaning the carpet, where the accumulated dirt comes out all at once. Once these subside, you will find that you feel at peace and anger doesn’t affect you as it did before.
Continuous experiences of third eye activation lead to a sense of deep calmness in the mind.
One of the surest signs of third eye activation is the feeling of devotion. Usually, people say that devotion is an experience of the heart and focus is the ability of the brain. However, third eye activation leads to the experience of real devotion. It could be directed towards an art form, a subject, or a practice but usually, it is towards divinity.

Things that hinder your progress or calcify you third eye include:
-flouride in water and toothpaste
-processed foods
-sugar
-alcohol and drugs
-energy drinks
-sunglasses
-wi-fi signals
-LED lights
-TV and phone frequencies
-ear pods
How you will know your third eye is being activated.
Everything is energy, sound and vibration.
We are made of sound. If you can feel a tingling sensation in your forehead or the top of your head, if your ears are ‘ringing’, it’s your crown chakra signalling to you. It’s a sign of your body being ‘upgraded’.
This ‘upgrade’ is a constant process. Changes you will notice include a greater ability to think things through. You will sense a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn more about yourself and your personality. This new information in turn gives you more ideas on how to deal with experiences old and new.
You may find it harder to sleep. This is because your brain is less willing or able to switch off during the night. You might wake up several times between, say, two and four in the morning. Thi is nothing to worry about. Your ‘brain power’ is increasing- you are able to absorb more and more data and do so faster.
You will become more aware of numbers in the world around you. You will spot specific numbers or number sequences, such as double or triple digits, more and more often. You will see things in more vobrant colours than before. These are all signs of your increasing awareness and expanding consciousness.
You will have the urge to spend more time in nature, which is a wonderful anti-depressant.
We get our energy from the sun. That explains why it has been worshipped by man since time began. The more time you spend outside in the sun, the more energy you receive from it. You will want to ground your body by taking your shoes and socks off and feeling the earth under your feet. Humans are electric beings, the sun is electric and the earth is magnetic so, by grounding for twenty minutes or more every day, you are connecting- transmitting and receiving energy from both sources.
You will feel the need to break free.
Our lives are ruled by routines and patterns and you will sense a desire to change yours for the better. You will have a greater understanding of where you are in the world and what that world actually is. The answer you reach will surprise you-it’s a game or film, a massive version of ‘The Truman Show’ in which everyone has a part to play.
As your consciousness changes, so you will find it easier to work out where other people fit in to this scheme. Are they on the same adventure as you, learning and growing in many different ways? Or are they Non-Playing Characters (NPCs), who are happy with their reality, with life as it is. NPCs are passive; they are there just to make up the numbers. Their docility and obedience enables the powers that were to carry out their plans.
21 Signs Your Third Eye is Already Open
When your third eye opens, you will know. If you’re reading this, chances are it already is.
To help you know for sure, here are some of the common third eye chakra opening symptoms.
1: Pressure between your eyebrows
The third eye chakra is located in the middle between the eyebrows in what is also known as the ‘pineal gland’.
Third eye activation: when your third eye is activated, energy flows into the pineal gland causing some tingling sensation or pressure in that area.
2: Headaches
This is one of the most common physical symptoms of third eye opening because it’s located near the crown chakra.
Energy flows from your pineal gland through the back of your head and this increase in energy may result in frequent headaches.
3: Sharpened intuition
You may notice your intuition getting stronger and more accurate. What can happen? Maybe you declined a sale because the energy didn’t feel right and then a way better offer came.
Or maybe you sense a weird vibe from someone and then that person turned out to be a traitor.
4: Having vivid dreams
Have your dreams been more clear lately? Maybe they seem to contain messages too?
For example, it could be about something in your past that needs to get resolved or healed to help you move forward.
The third eye lets you access your subconscious mind and use it for healing.
5: Lucid dreaming
Originally, traditional Tibetan dream yoga was a prequel to lucid dreaming.
You may think that it’s just a dream but it’s actually a different reality.
Buddhist monks are adamant that spirituality is the core of lucid dreaming because it brought the two worlds together.
6: Being more conscious of what you eat
An open third eye can make you more sensitive to all the energies surrounding you, even the energies of the things you eat.
For example, you may start to not feel good after eating meat because you feel its pain within your body and you may feel drawn to eating more whole, nutritious foods.
7: Developing more empathy
When your third eye awakens, you start to see that we are all one and that everyone is just doing their best based on their level of consciousness.
When someone does something, you understand where they’re coming from instead of reacting or judging them. You start understanding people and life on a whole new level.

8: Seeing shapes and colors when you close your eyes
When we close our eyes, usually we just see darkness. When the third eye is open, you may see colors and shapes.
Since it’s the eye that can see past the material realm, the colors and shapes may be orbs from the spiritual realm or excess energy from your pineal gland.
9: You notice synchronicities
There have always been synchronicities in our lives but a person who isn’t awakened usually doesn’t notice them.
Maybe you’ve been seeing an animal over and over again or you’ve been seeing angel numbers a little too often?
If you’re interested in angel numbers, you can read about the deeper meaning of angel numbers 12 12 and 1111, and 444.
10: Sensitivity to light and sounds
You may be turned off by places with bright lights or very loud music. You may also begin to hear things you never would’ve noticed before.
This is because your senses are becoming more in tune with both the physical and spiritual realm.
11: Lack of fear
There are so many fears that come along with the material realm because of how fleeting life seems here.
When your third eye opens, you become aware of the presence of multiple realities and that we don’t exist in only one. All of a sudden, it’s not so scary anymore.
12: A feeling of freedom
Just like the disappearance of fears, you may also feel a sense of freedom. Freedom from the desires of the ego and the realization that everything just is.
13: Gradual and continual change
You may begin to notice that your life is gradually changing. Your outer world is a direct reflection of your inner world.
When your sixth chakra awakens, your perspective changes. Because of this, your outer reality changes too.
14: You gain telepathic abilities
This is one of the most exciting signs your third eye is already open.
Here’s what can start to happen: you may begin to notice that you seem to know what’s going on in someone’s mind and then they confirm it through their actions.
You may also feel it when someone’s thinking about you and over time, you may even learn how to send telepathic messages.
15: You become clairvoyant
While the physical eye sees the past and present, the third eye sees the future. You may begin to see visions of events before they occur or get warning signs about a place or event.
16: Seeking a higher life purpose
As you are more connected with the source, you also become aware of your higher purpose.
With your third eye open, you are more in tune with your guides and they will push you towards the right direction as long as you listen.
17: Seeing beyond the obvious
You see through things that people normally wouldn’t notice. For example, you can spot lies or sense the real intention of someone that other people would not have noticed.
18: Increased creativity
We have two brains, the creative brain and the logical brain. Society favors logical thinking more than creative thinking and because of this, most people have dulled their creativity.
An active sixth chakra helps you get back with your creativity.
19: Astral projection
Astral projection is a more advanced sign of an open third eye.
As I have mentioned, there are multiple realities. Being able to have this out-of-body experience means you have the ability to shift realities and go to the astral plane.
This is an amazing experience but it could be dangerous if not done right. Here’s a complete guide on how to astral project so you may do it in a safe way.
20: Your mind gets less connected to the ego
You become hyper-aware when your ego is in charge or if it’s your true self.
You will notice if you do the things you do because it makes your true self happy or if it’s merely an egoic desire.
21: Opening to a perception beyond duality
When your third eye is open, you go beyond.
You become present in both the spiritual realm and the material realm.
You become in tune with both your logical and intuitive abilities.

How do you open your third eye?
You might not know it, but inside our physical body resides a spiritual double, which absorbs and transmits energy to and from the Universe. According to ancient healing lore, this spiritual body is ruled by Chakras (meaning ‘spinning wheel’ in Sanskrit), which are situated within us, and largely control our mental and spiritual experience.
Each Chakra is perceived as a spinning, vibrating wheel of light. Each one is a different colour. Put together, they create our aura.
The Third Eye Chakra is located in the centre of our forehead and is coloured indigo. It is responsible for our intuition, concentration, imagination, clairvoyance and psychic abilities. You wanna’ be Willow The Witch? You’ve got to connect to your Third Eye.
You also need to make sure it’s clear and spinning freely (so to speak), as all chakras can become blocked by our own, or others’ impactful, negativity. Our third eye chakra can get blocked when we ignore or override our gut instincts and intuitions a lot, and suppress our imagination or daydreams. The below exercise will help to not only open, but also unblock, your third eye chakra. And massaging a little sandalwood and lavender oil into your forehead as you do this also doesn’t hurt!
How do you open your third eye?
It’s as easy as this: visualise and meditate on the colour indigo. Sit comfortably and, with your eyes closed, visualise an indigo ball of energy in the area of your Third Eye (i.e. forehead). Simply concentrating on that image is enough to start activating your powers.
Imagine this ball of energy spinning, vibrating and glowing – a wheel of indigo light growing ever larger and more powerful, and projecting further and further into space (just don’t fall to sleep at this point).
Let the visions and insights flow through you. Keep that wheel of purple light spinning.
HOW WILL YOU KNOW YOUR THIRD EYE IS OPEN?
Water signs – lucid and powerful dreams
Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio, you are the great visionary intuitives of the zodiac and your power is in being easily able to zip between realms, reach beyond the veil, and access the unseen. When your third eye is unblocked, spinning and thriving, you will be visited by powerful, memorable and clear scenes, messages, and visions in your dreams. Keep a dream journal handy. Sleep with a lapis lazuli crystal underneath your pillow for additional insightful energy and maybe even the power to dream lucidly (i.e. you can control your actions in your dream as if you were awake).
Fire signs – intense gut instincts and desires
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, you are the heartfelt, passion-led go-getters of the zodiac and your power is in your presence and actions. You’re all doers more than thinkers. Accessing your third eye will show up for you in your desires and urges. How intensely you feel about things is the barometer, showing you the true pathway that your intuition knows is right for you. Let your heart lead. Notice when you experience what could be called a ~whole body yes~. Your entire body feels strong, open, tingly and expansive. That is your true gut reaction to something positive.
Air signs – epiphanies, revelations and insights
Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, you are the cerebral, curious and intellectual thinkers of the zodiac and your power is in your knowledge. You like to know and understand everything, and you seek information and insights actively. Your third eye will help sharpen and focus your attention on the insights that can make the greatest difference to your environment and pathway. Let your third eye draw out your powerful lateral thinking skills i.e. the ability to join disparate dots to make a whole new, complete picture. Absorb new information and re-combine with what you know to create stunning epiphanies.
Earth signs – physical sensations around the area
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, you are the practical, material and strong doers of the zodiac and your power is in what you do, what you create and build, and what you leave behind. You are legacy creators. Your third eye will show up in terms of physical sensations when it needs attention (headache, pressure between brows) and when it’s thrumming happily (heat and tingliness between brows). The knowledge it gifts you will always be directly applicable to a situation at hand so practice asking for guidance and noticing what ideas or thoughts come to mind, even if they’re abstract or random.
