What is the Third Eye?
The Third Eye is a natural part of every person, but it’s a “meta” organ. In other words: it consists of all the senses and mind working together as a larger more powerful sensory organ. The Third Eye is a very clever bit of natural evolution: a meta organ designed to sense, connect to patterns and then relay that data back in overlays of information on top of your other senses.
Once opened it’s a very powerful ability, powerful enough that it literally can drive people insane if not understood, accepted or developed correctly. Also due to lack of understanding more people than not mislabel, run away from the ability or take it to strange descriptions… which further muck and murk the waters of what the Third Eye truly is.
The Third Eye as a sense can be used in many different ways. It opens up our senses to patterns around us. It’s used by seers to make connections and answer questions. It’s used by energy workers to feel the energy and then manipulate that energy. It’s part of empathy where a person can touch and feel the emotions of others. Many other applications exist for how people have used the Third Eye.
Let’s look at one use. It’s possible to use the Third Eye to learn how to sense and visually interpret energy around us. This helps people work with the process of Motion, Activity and Interchange more easily and completely. Energy instead of being abstract concept then becomes a tangible property of life to work with once you learn how to sense it and interact with it.
The Third Eye and Energy Work
Does a Taoist really see energy? Not directly. Anyone can see the end results of energy in action, seeing energy directly is another thing all together. However, the Third Eye can develop the ability to process information and then overlay that information over our other senses in such a way we can then interpret and interact with energy in a more precise manner. In this way, we can “see” energy.
This can appear as being a mystical power due to the relative nature of the skill. But it’s a very real and tangible skill.
Some people do take this and go too far, make it fantasy. So you do need to be careful with people saying they are energy workers. Another problem is the relative nature of the skill. What one energy worker will sense, is different than another energy worker. Some commonalities exist. We are human, and our form, our shape help push us towards common baselines. However, the unique experiences and nature of each person also ensures that each energy worker will see things from a different angle.
Lets use Aura’s as an example.
Some people do see an “aura” or “light”. With training many people can be taught how to view aura’s in a “standard way”.
However: it’s not what most people think it is. Your eyes only “see” what they are designed to see. But the mind can overlay additional information over each sense. Auras are such an information overlay.
The brain has the ability to process visual information, and it has the ability to use all that circuitry to pump back information in the form of visual response: which doesn’t have to be from the eyes.
Your whole neural network, your mind and sense organs form a larger more sensitive “antenna” to pick up on energy and patterns. The mind then has the problem of how to send that information back to you. It has to use what it already has access to: the 5 normal senses. For example: at times in energy work, it can send back the images for you as an “aura” to then interpret. In reality what you are seeing is slightly different than that: but it’s the best method the “third eye” has to relay the information back to you. This becomes the “aura” as the translated result.
Developing the Third Eye
Because so much of this depends on your ability to interpret the results: this creates lots of room for mis-translation between the “facts” and what your third eye returns to you. Also because we see things differently, it can be problematic to exchange the information back and forth between each other in a clear fashion. This opens up quite a bit of room for mystical practices to open up within. Some truly work, others which might vary from person to person in how they tune the 3rd Eye sense, and others such as tricksters to use for deception.
Taoist practice has quite a bit of training regarding how to use and work with the Third Eye. It’s a real sense, but it’s a “meta” sense and it must be “used and tuned” in order to be developed, rather than it being something that just works out of the box of birth.
As a Taoist I have been developing my third eye since I was 5 or 6 years old and had my first vision. When I shared my first vision, I discover immediately, most people don’t see the world in this fashion. Even worse, I was persecuted when sharing this ability. Being so young, I quickly learned to keep it to myself and explore it silently and patiently on my own terms. Until recently I haven’t opened up on this part of my Taoist practice, on purpose, since it’s so easily mis-understood and so many misconceptions exist about this ability.
I have spent 35 years exploring this ability, reviewing materials, and using my background in both Taoism and the sciences to understand it. I have now placed the 3rd Eye into terms which can be acceptable to most everyone. So hence, I am now sharing it in my teachings.
Many people naturally suppress this ability to prevent it from hurting them, to prevent others from making fun of them or labeling them as crazy. With enough suppression any ability goes away. The Third Eye must be used in order for it work. Also how one uses the Third Eye will shape the abilities and capabilities of what it will be able to sense. For all of these reasons and more, this why the Third Eye is such a mysterious ability.
Many different cultures use many varied techniques to develop this skill. Taoists are very patient, taking decades in order to refine and define this ability. The nature of the interpretive aspects of this ability means experience helps improve this ability and it’s a slow process to master.
Teaching the Third Eye and Energy Work
It’s time to begin helping others sort it out and in that find a greater sense of self peace.
The Third Eye is not some magical power, it’s a part of our human nature which anyone with time, patience, training and acceptance of their nature can use. All too often people rush ahead and their own inner unbalance disrupts and skews the third eye ability with bad habits and false perceptions.
I do teach others how to access the third eye, but be aware this ability isn’t rushed but rather grown into over time.
I offer special Inner Vision retreats and Third Eye Classes on the Big Island of Hawaii for those wishing to learning how to use their third eye in a balanced and healthy environment. These retreats are geared to resolve fears, train a person with safe but powerful techniques and open up a path that reveals the potential of life with grace.
Sincerely
Casey

hi casey sorry me again, i dont want to offend you, now that ive read the other comments my question to you is …. while opening up the third eye as far as my defefense mechanism goes or protective glove. should I do it knowing that the third eye is just me and my imagination?
India: The third eye isn’t imagination, its all about potential.
re-read this page and the comments more closely to understand the difference.
Being able to sense potential is very powerful and meaningful.
Hi my name is Casey as well lol…I would like to say ..nicceee..I like ur footprints, but the word (Energy
worker)brings them to a lower entry level. Replace it with (Students)
Hey there. I’ve opened it a week ago and can’t shift my attention back of it. I feel my head is tense and hurts and I can’t control the perception. Any ideas how to relax my 3rd eye and stop perceiving?
Hey dude this helps, you dont see ghost right? lol
So I just discovered Something……. How Coinsidental is this??? So how long have I been sayin back to school,but life gets buisy & it gats put off.Theres been a few differrent passions I’v thrown out over again 4yrs. now; Medical field/Healing, Teacher,Art.. But Justin very seriously asks me about a month ago “what do you want to be?” It took me a day to answer, It just poped in my head “It’s Everything”! LMAO & no this isnt my ADD thinkin.. I Told Justin & Salley I wanted To be a sort of Occupational Theropist Art Teacher for disabled children!!!!
WOW all in a course of a month this is how the cards fall for me! Hows that for payen attention to intuition!
So I dissided I need to go back to school But I need some sort of help for my ADD so I’m not rereading each sentence before I can move beyond so school worth while. So a month lator reading alot about Natural ways to heal ect..the pop up things to like on FB & so forth…Reading how to help/connect with abby I stumble accross a web sight It’s called Holistic Healing from there Led me to Neurofeedback theropy! They help with a broad range of issues Like ADD or Aspergers, or Brain Injury part of a treament depending on the paitients needs is ART THEROPY!
Now alot more then relized like myself had ahalf open third eye as children, but as we learn to communicate & rely on other sences… Life events poluting your chakra’s this Third Eye closes or foggy, So WE as people if we are lucky just accept the Ear Ringing As old Sayings; someones talking/thinking os you or shake off moments of dejavu & coinsidence! Now that Iv been Only recently practicing on opening MY Third Eye have I noticed patterns! The more you notice/the easier understanding will be in these nornally over looked moments..This is practice in trusting yourself, this is how you open the psyce! I am very excited!
i went to a psychic who read tarot cards on mr. she said that my third eye was twitching? what would make my third eye twitch?
Yo casey, can you list the steps and the ways of approaching them to properly open a third eye at a right pace?
@Sfiso: In the next month or so I will be releasing a video for sale to initial start people learning about the third eye and more videos will follow.
@Tara: Your third eye twitching means you are beginning to use it, and what would make it twitch is most likely your life is changing and your mind is sorting out potentials on how best to move through your changes.
@Vinney: Nope I don’t see ghosts. Ghosts are an entirely different phenomenon. But I know you are joking based on the movie sixth sense, which was a fun movie to watch which I recommend as a movie to watch.
@Alicia: Yes you are right trust is very important to building up and using your third eye. It’s a very patient process, Doubts disrupt and dispel the third eye very easily. Take the time to explore and be patient so you dont push it too far from reality. Staying grounding is very important, when people get ungrounded, you lose trust and personal faith quickly. It’s ok to be excited, but many people will take your excitement in the wrong way since they dont trust their own potential. So share in a quieter manner and you will find people respond back in a stronger more positive way.
@zqf12: Just do other things, keep yourself busy and read, exercise and work on other things. It’s like any other sense, just because you have it, doesn’t mean you have to use it. Just as many people have hearing, but they rarely truly listen
rather they only selectively hear what they need. As a sixth sense it is no different, you learn to tune it out if you so desire.
Hi. When My third eye opened I did not know what it was. I have been a little scared to use it among people in fear of being looked wierdly upon. You say it is possible to lose the ability, isn’t it possible to regain it? I don’t want to lose the ability but sometimes I just want to be in peace from it and be with my friends who appear to not have it at all..
The questions prolly get a little much, but i was checking back to the older questions asked. Can you explain a little about a mirror exercise? Where you look into a mirror and it is supposed to help you open the third eye up. I have read it is an illusion, a relaxing technique, and many other things. I just want some more opinions on it.
good morning, Casey!!! I ‘ve discovered Taoism a few weeks ago, and I wonder what is by essence the best way to explore and to develop our consciousness? and third eye: why are we blind if we have the ability to perceive light or energy through our mind?
im living life in a different way now… before i was too materialistic now im enjoying it even to the smallest things… there is a true magic in life that people tend to ignore it.. im just being honest to everything i say.. im solving problems one by one even from the smallest one.. and im loving my self even more… and now im learning who i am, before and to the present…i’ve learned to appreciate things .. to give more and expect less.. i just do things right the way others would love it.. no matter what people say.. it makes me happy to make others happy… just be who you are…^^ thanks a lot casey.. im learning many things from you.. i love you all guys…we are all spirits and for me it is all true..third eye? its just part of this one big puzzle in life… peace of mind… Godbless
@August: Yes its possible to regain the third eye, but the more one shuts it down, the less likely it is to be regained, just due to the force of habit of keeping it shut down.
@Jimbo: Many different practices exist for teaching third eye. If you search on the internet you will find many articles on this subject of using a mirror and the third eye. The mirror is merely a focusing device to calm the mind and focus your attention to the third eye. You can literally use anything for this practice. If you put power into a mirror, then a mirror will work best for you, If you put power into tea leaves then tea leaves will work best. To each their own.
@Niles: Welcome and be patient in yourself. Don’t rush too fast into this or you will get ungrounded or hurt yourself. Please, take some time to break up your paragraphs, check your spelling and clean up what you do send here to make it more readable. I deleted two of your posts due to readablity issues and the posts being too much all at once. Consolidate your ideas into more concise topics. Otherwise multiple ideas all blend together to create something different and misleading. Slow down and don’t overwhelm others with too much all at once otherwise
@Matthieu: There is no best way, but patience, time to play and explore are important parts of any deeply successful practice.
Dear Casey,
Since I am young, I have an obsession of scratching my forehead right above my nose and between my eyebrows. I scratch it more intensively when I need to focus, to the point of sometimes leaving some red marks for a few days. Someone once jokes about it and said that I was trying to unveil my third eye. Do you think my scratching habit has anything to do with my third eye?
Thank you,
Veronique
Hi,I’m 22 year old girl.I’m meditating 3rd eye from March 2011,so now one year has passed out.i have experienced symptoms,signs of 3rd eye awakening like vibrations, hotness in heart chakra,ear,feet,back side but i feel more pressure and vibration on my forehead and center of my eyebrows while meditating and sometimes it gets automatically which i can’t explain so my question is -”How long it takes to open the third eye?” plz tell me becoz i am feeling more vibrations.
Help meeee
@Veronique: it may or may not be related. All sorts of things could lead to an itchy forehead, dry skin, over active imagination, mosquitoes and yes even Third eye.
Itchy patch on forehead by itself is not enough of an indicator to use for third eye activity awakening. But many people who experience the third eye opening will express physical symptoms, but those indicators can vary quite a bit from person to person.
@Sonal: It’s not a question of how long it takes to open. That’s a relative question. Technically if you think of the third eye seeing potential, actually strangely means the third is never 100% open, We use our main physical senses to see what is real. Rather it’s a skill, that a person can refined and develop over an entire lifetime.
What open means is, that a person considers the third eye to be reliable enough that they trust to what they see from it. That measure of trust varies greatly from person to person.
Hi Casey i am 45 years old,a christian, i strongly belive in God and i have lots of visions about things that realy come to pass a few months ago i met a lady who told me i had a third eye. this bothers me because she could not tell me if its bad,to have one or not,
she said the reson she said that was because i could see the end of peoples lives. i do not understand because this happens when i pray and ask God to tell me about peoples destinies. i can also close my eyes ask God to tell me about people i have never meet and God would show me what the person looks like, what the person likes. i also feel peoples emotions.i also say things that comes to pass. do i realy have a third eye and is it bad to have one? thanks
@Mee: Yes what you describe fall under what we would call the Third Eye.
Bad and Good and not a natural state of being. Bad and Good are personal choices on how we live our life. Use the third eye wisely and its a gift, use it to control or tell people things they dont want to hear and its then considered to be Bad.
The third eye is natural skill anyone can have. It’s up to the person and how they live, in how we express our nature in “Bad” or “Good”
Many people will say it’s Bad, because they fear larger truths and are insecure in their nature and fear what the third eye will reveal their hidden truths.
ANd I could go on and on about how silly people get in terms of “Bad” or forcing labels onto things.
Make of it what you will. Live well and gracefully, and then it is a gift.
Thank you, this was very helpful info. I can see you understand what it feels likes and you are willing to teach on it. I am ready to learn as i need help. i will look forward to the videos and continue to read the other articles. thanks again.
Ive noticed since I was very little if I closed my eyes and put my finger(or anything really)close to the middle of my eyebrows I get this weird pressure in the middle, and if I pull the object back, the pressure weakens. Does this have something to do with the third eye?
@Iri: There are various points around the eyebrows, and they are pressure points. If you check out various massage and acupuncture references you can find out about these and other pressure points and what they are connected to.
@Lisa: Thank you
Folks just love the inference of magical powers!
Other stuff you wrote is soundly considered, are you sure you want to keep down this path of ‘magic’ teaching?
Leave the topic to others LESS equipped than yourself, is my hopeful suggestion to you Casey though I realize it may be too late.( but thats just me, I was surprised to find a rational man and now I am dissappointed )
Joe
@Joseph:
Be of an open mind to consider all possibilities rather than being closed minded by judgment.
The third eye is very real, it isn’t super natural, rather it’s the ability to sense potential. Since potential isn’t real but rather “what might be” it can appear as magical. But magic is a matter of perception.
I don’t tolerate others being rude as you were in your response.
Lesser men are those who look into the mirror and judge others based on their own limitations. That you were disrespectful only lessens you and also gets you blacklisted from further comments. This is the reflection of the judgement you push outward.
@Everyone: I left Joseph’s response here to help teach everyone, how to be careful on what you say about the third eye. People will judge you, because in potential they often won’t see what you might sense.
Ironically everything I write here is written in a way to be consistent with science and worded carefully to avoid as much judgment from others as I can achieve. After all I was trained and worked as a physicist and engineer. I think it’s possible to bridge the difference between vision and reality. And that bridge is made from each of your own steps taken each day, to making what you see in potential, real by your actions. No different than the Wright brothers slowly building from a dream of flying into a real airplane.
The third eye is a complicated topic, but a very real sense. One I teach very carefully due to how others react in judgment and because the delicate nature of potential itself. It’s all too easy for people to fall prey to delusions chasing after false potentials.
Understand:
Judgment is the opposite of potential and it always will shut down the third eye.
Many people have asked me how do you shut the third eye:
Well Joe shows everyone the way to close the third eye down in his response:
If you don’t want the third eye, then just judge yourself as being crazy, or judge another person as being crazy or judge it as being impossible and the third eye will go away quickly.
Peace in all of your explorations
Sincerely
Casey
Dear Casey,
Good day,
I’d like to ask about my feeling. I like to listen to some slow music and feel get relaxed, actually i don’t know about meditation and others, but i want to learn meditation in future, sometimes i search information about it from internet. i feel much energy and light, especially on my head from top, and feel usually something on my forehead, at that time i feel more like there is something different environment around me which gives much warm and happy feelings, i just enjoy with the thinking of how beautiful is this world and our earth, its been 2 years i am feeling like this. sorry, maybe my writing is not so clear, but could you please give me some suggestions what i feel now and what i need to do in future, because i do get relaxed like this once in a week usually.
thank you,
Hi Casey, I have just stumbled on this subject of Third Eye today. Actually, I was sharing with my Dad, about always dreaming about flying and he indicated about having the Third Eye lol so I decided to learn a little bit more about it… and I reflected on how often I have “real” dreams that sees into the future. I also reflected on at times I seem to be very intuitive for no particular reason. So, I am wondering now how do I explore whether or not I do see clearer… Natasha
Hm.. I have questions concerning meditation, and my spiritual journey..
Hopefully I am not scolded too badly, for this may be the wrong area of your site for such things..
When I meditate in a successful manner my body loses almost all awareness (varies), and my mind changes to a very distant mode of thought (more choice, more quiet, more separate) and then, there’s this almost falling away sensation, from everything, and then my consciousness either changes to
a one dimensional state, as if I am outer space, and space is limitless and there is no object there whatsoever. having that experience the first time changed me in a way that meditation, is my addiction now (as opposed to drugs), such peace… and I am disappeared in that suchness..
or
lately i’ve been getting back into meditation again, but i’ve found more success in sitting meditation (against a wall. i am lazy.) it’s much easier to let the eyes go relaxed (as opposed to laying down), and easier to allow the relaxation cycle to unravel between body and mind, which i’ve noticed are strongly inter-dependent. so lately, as i’ve been doing it, I was fortunate enough to experience something similar to what i described before, but there is more of a subtle form present instead of formless.
this time, it’s more as if I am inflated, and i am inflating and getting bigger and bigger (I am aware of how the mind/ego works, this is not my imagination, which i feel is something to be said as some tend to get this distinction somewhat confused) and so at this point I reminded myself “empty out to the space between the breasts” something osho had once said once you attain the one-pointed state of concentration (goal:enlightenment).
And I felt… something new.. a warmth in my belly, chest.. But remember, everything was huge, so the feeling was huge. I’ve lived so long egotistically, that Love and joy are distant memories, stories that have been losing strength.. I feel as if this was a taste of what they were. I mean that’s the goal of enlightenment right? Love. So, my question concerning this experience, was this more third eye related than the “space” state i’d been in before? Or, was I just not as far along with it, as I used to get? (in your opinion)
One more question. Six months ago when I was entering that space/formless state regularly, I had a strange experience. It was the dead of night, and I became aware in what I suspect to be Deep Sleep. My eyes remained closed, my body relaxed. The darkness I was witnessing had a heaviness to it, as if it was Thick. Something caught my attention, couldn’t tell ya what, but as that moment occurred, everything changed in an instant.
It was as if EVERYTHING, myself included, what I was seeing, everything I could experience, was full of electricity, or energy, High energy, I felt as if I was about to go crazy or die, not directly in response to the experience but more so… This isn’t supposed to happen! What is this!! It must be no good!!
So I pulled myself away and woke myself out of it, which was difficult, and sat up in my bed, very awake.
I did some googling, and discovered a website saying this is “the portal to brahman” the fourth step in 6 or 7 stages to enlightenment, and that if I had accepted/embraced the experience, I would’ve progressed to.. well i don’t know, because I pulled out. This experience has happened twice. What is your opinion on it?
I don’t know if you’re enlightened or awakened or not, but you seemed like you might have some good answers, what do you suggest for attaining the enlightened state? Emptying out to the chest as osho says? Or just hitting the meditation as often as possible and waiting, or what? Because I definately am able to experience some crazy quiet peace and freedom, but I wish to progress to love joy all that.
Thanks Casey,
Matt
After meditating I was able to tell 3 strangers what they did for a living. One of those stated it could be a third eye. Could it be? I had never heard of the third eye and never had a professional help me with meditation techniques. I’m scared.
Peggy
@Peggy: Read this answer in the third eye FAQ section:
http://personaltao.com/taoism-library/articles/third-eye-faq/#Third_Eye_Fortune
It covers what you ask.
@Matt: Working towards enlightenment is a different path all together than exploring the third eye. Yes I do teach people how to achieve enlightenment, but it isn’t the Hollywood production nor experience people often believe it should be. It’s quite simple and beautiful in its own right.
The third eye is merely a sense, like sight or hearing. Having it doesn’t help nor hinder the path towards enlightenment. However, as you have found, many claim you need the third eye to attain an enlightened state of being. That isn’t true at all.
Right now you are enjoying exploring. So right now, just enjoy the exploring for the sake of exploring.
@Natasha: R
Relax and enjoy your exploration. Don’t judge it, and minimize to who you talk about it (since most people will likewise judge it and limit it for you).
The first step always continues to be, living one’s own life deeper and with awareness and slowly interconnect your senses together in a more complete fashion.
I am so intrigued right now, my heart is beating a tad bit faster.
Most recently, I came across a young man who introduced me (or re-introduced me) to meditating, and share with me the Japa meditation song. Before this I was just on a path of designing my life with my mind: thoughts. I have watched movies like “The Secret”, etc., and just very interested in the power and unlimited-ness that can be found in the mind.
I get moments where I am more in tune with myself, and at those times I am able to “read” people’s emotions/energy, even not physically, over the internet. I would close my eyes, and what to say to that person came to me. So, once someone asked me if I was pyschic.
I have never thought of the third eye, nor did I know anything about it. So, why then did I write it in a comment I made today, after doubting my ability to trust myself to trust someone else? That prompted me to google it.
Now reading through these comments, and Matt’s last descriotion prompted me to remember a time when I was a Christian. There were two significant moments. One, I was deep in sleep, and perhaps I woke up (or maybe I was still in sleep) and this darkness, heavy darkness was descending on me…I felt like it was death. I thought I screamed and jumped up, but my sister in the bed next to me, heard nothing.
The next time, I was asleep (must have been a summer day because London rarely has sun
and this day I recall it was shining) facing my window curled up. I woke up, as in my eyes open, but my body would not move. Nothing, but my eyes would move! In my head, I kept saying Jesus Jesus….and then release.
Now, I am no longer Christian, but it is not about the religion. It is about more for me, energy, and I am enjoying this new journey. I mentioned those two occurrences because those were the most unexplain moments I have had.
I always use to dream in black and white, and I always dreamed I was falling, falling into a deep black and white pit. Moments I am asleep I would “jump out of my body”. I had one experience where I felt like I was looking back at myself…
I wont rant on. I just need guidance, and I am not even sure how to formulate a question…so sorry.
@Marsha: Thanks for sharing your musings and stories.
The first step to finding guidance: is to actually pause in your own steps, to catch a breath and take stock of your own life. To not rush to where you think you should be. In this, it becomes possible to simplify and to clarify one’s inner vision and also prevent false expectations from blinding you.
The next step is to find a teacher. Be it a river, a sage or reading a unexpected piece of writing that gives you new perspectives. Teachers can be found in many unexpected places.
Hello,
Mmy daughter is 5 going to be 6 in July.. recently she has been staring at the middle of my forehead ALOT when I an talking to her and pushes aside my hair. I asked her what she was looking at and she said an eyeball. I asked her what it looks like and she said the same as the one on her forehead except my was blue and her’s like her other 2 eyes (she has a hazel, greenish sometimes blue color, as with all the recent babies in my family… I did some research regarding and she has also stated that she sees colors around peoples heads (red around her own and white with sparkles around mine), and am thinking that she is ustilizing her third eye and could possibly be clairvoyant? She has also stated she sees my father who passed when she was a baby and has described him quite accurately. When she was a year and a half when he passed I awoke the following night at the exact time he passed to her reaching through the crib, laughing saying “bampa”.. I only want to encourge this gift but am also concerned about possible negative energies for the otherside or entities… any suggestions on how to explain a means of protection to her? I have already explained Archangel Michael and his role to her.
Hi Casey,
I’m new to the whole Third eye subject and the subjects that go with it.
I was listening to a band called Tool when i started hearing of the subjects.
I want to learn more about the third eye.
(forgive me if i re-peate any questions i have limited time on the computer and don’t get to read all the feedback comments)
I have a number of questions regarding the third eye.
I’ve felt a sensation of spirits around me since i was about 5 or 6 years of age.
I also have the…i guess you would call it an ability? to sense vage descriptions of the future…it’s either a person and event, event and place, or person and place, but never all three.
I don’t know what websites to go to, to further this investigation for the sensations i feel (the internet isn’t always truthful and i want accurate information as to not be misguided)
Also, i was wondering if wearing glasses has any sort of indication that my Third eye sense would be dulled at all too?
i apologise if i’m asking/talking too much, but i’ve wanted to know about this for a very long time and i’m exited i’m finnaly starting to get to explore this.
one more question does stress and anxiety have any negative effect on opening and keeping open my third eye?
thank you so much casey
i’m so glad i found this page
(and i apologise for my spelling, i was never good at it)
also, a last minute question, is it possible to accedently open your Third eye?
@Amy: Be open, be of a good heart and let that be the guide to how anyone becomes a good person as they grow up. Its not the ability to fear. This instead is about who we are as a parent that defines our child with our own actions.
What matters isn’t the third eye but what is under that, how we see and use our sense towards that making life a graceful experience.
If you plant a nut to grow, it then bursts out from the nut to become a tree that follows it’s nature accordingly. Don’t concentrate on what something is to force its nature: rather give children room to grow.
Some negative examples of what not to do:
If you always act fearful then you teach her how to limit herself in fear. If you always talk about money , then you teach her how to be greedy. If you always force her to your point of view: you then only teach her how to use force and hurt others by forcing a single view point in life.
A good example of what to do:
Just be a open minded parent that teaches true love:
is helping each person follow their nature.
@Victoria:
To answer the direct questions you had.
1) Nothing in life is an accident in terms of potential. It is, what you make each opportunity to become.
2) Also glasses don’t impact the third eye at all.
3) Yes stress and anxiety can limit what you see in the third eye, just like if you rush you tend not to use any of your senses fully.
All your other statements were implied questions which I can’t answer since they weren’t direct questions.
As a rule of thumb: Avoid vague or implied questions it just creates more confusion not less when working in a topic that already is very vague by its very nature. Of course when you answer vague questions people then often think you have the sight: since you then answer magically what they can’t put to words and then direct a person towards what you want them to see. This is a common trick of charlatans trying to prove their “ability” and powers to see clearly.
I have been trying to open my third eye for a while now, probably about a year and recently, I’d say about 3 months ago I was having problems falling asleep one night. I was then startled by loud angelic music in my head and then a loud pop, I could see the music and the pop in my head as a white light. As soon as the pop happened I felt what felt like blissfully electricity running through my whole body until I fell asleep. What do you think this was and could it be related to the third eye? Also I’ve been having many dreams that come true lately and sometimes it literally feels like there is a huge portal inside my head.
Justin: What do you want to learn from your experience and how will you decide to use it to grow from it?
First lesson: Limit how you ask another to judge you or your own experiences. To do so, is to lose your own strength / initiative to explore your life. Especially if you are given an answer that goes against what you feel is your own truth.
Second lesson: We ask teachers to refine what we see and polish our ability. Since you are not a student of mine, my policy is not to give direct answers for more detailed third eye next steps or to answering something I cannot directly verify. Many third eye experiences or dreams fall into the cannot be verified category, since these experiences are about perception and potential rather than reality.
So from my perspective, I have to treat what you experienced as a dream, since that is the answer that creates for the least problems to answer from.
Third Lesson: Re-read what the third eye is on this page. Apply it to the vision you have and ask yourself, in what manner is it possible to learn from this experience so that it doesn’t create for ungrounded next steps. Patience is required to learn from any dream or experience we might have, Be patient to explore the experiences you have, while being careful on how you use it to leap ahead in your actions.
What matters is how you use this experience to grow from.
Hey Casey,
You know, I always get really sort of, weirder out by these things. There are certain things that happen in my life that I just, no matter what I think, can’t explain.
I’m not some huge meditation guy, nor do I know a lot about these things. So I’ve come to you and this page for help…please
urrm, I feel like I should say a bit about me, I’m 20, a uni student, in a band (woo!)
Now, when i sit around thinking to myself, like right now, I literally feel like I’m different to everyone else. Like there’s something about me, that no one has in the world. By the looks of what others have posted, I now know I’m not the only one.
I want to say some of the things I’ve experienced, and if you could, tell me what these things base from at all.
1. I have moments where I can picture myself in the future, I can’t picture others, but as I said I’m in a band, and I can picture myself on huge stages, with huge crowds. I can picture myself talking to people and can unconsciously imagine what they look like, but if I try to actually think about how they look, I can’t, I find it impossible.
2. I feel like there’s always spirits around me, I just can’t communicate with them. I want to be able to see and talk to them, but I feel like that’s a ridiculous idea?
3. I feel, as if, things are different around me. Like, the way I look at things, perspectives etc
There’s a lot more but I don’t want to bore you.
Is this anything to do with the third eye?
I googled it, and found lots of articles, and youtube videos
I tried one youtube video which was about a meditation technique,
involes putting one hand over the other grasping the index finger and resting the thumb on top of the nail in the right ‘spot’ and saying th-oh-th so that it vibrates and the vibrations feel like they’re right between your eyebrows where the third eye is meant to be.
I did this……but the whole time, I was crying?
aahah not like literally balling my eyes out because I’m upset. I’m not upset at all, hell I’m rather jolly ^_^ but even now, whilst typing this. I can’t stop tears coming out my eyes.
I might as well be balling lol
I just want some advice from someone who knows what they’re on about.
What do these things mean, are they related to the third eye. the whole seeing things that haven’t happened.
I also get these weird surges through my body, I’ve never questioned them, just assumed they were a biological process that’s happened but I simply don’t know the reason, although I’m sure I could find it if I googled things like ” why do i get tingly shivers running through my arms, or why do i get a warm fuzzy sensation behind my ears for no reason?”
so please, Casey, sorry if this is a bit on the ‘rambly’ scale. I’m only young-ish and I’m new to these things, although I do FULLY believe in them.
Tell me what I’m looking for, what signs are there to know it’s working (by working i mean, to know that I’m meditating correctly, and that these feelings are normal).
Also, finally, could you please describe some of the things you’ve ‘seen’ with your third eye?
I only ever get sceptical about these things because whenever someone tries to explain it, they ALWAYS make it sound so dramatic and ‘out-of-this-world’, it really frustrates me, but you seem different, I feel like you can explain it in simpler terms.
Sorry again if this is badly worded, I’m supposed to be doing uni coursework, but I’ve just spent the past 5 hours reading up on this and I just want to know more and understand it better.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and reply, I’m glad there’s people like you
Much loves and stuff

@Leo: I think what would be good for you is to first take some time, practicing some Tai-Chi, Qi Gong or Yoga to help you focus the mind and the ability to extend your awareness.
You are young and often times a simple practice like Qi-Gong goes a long way to stabilizing and helping a person focus their Third eye.
I know you are looking for direct answers, but this is a slow process so before diving too deep into “what” and “how” this all is: it’s best to ground in a solid practice that extends your awareness in a way that is compatible with the third eye.
You want someone to just Say “Yes You have the power! It’s the third eye!” But it isn’t that simple.
It really all depends on how you develop and that is a longer process spanning years of practice.
For most people initially they feel “This is the third eye!” and will only accept answers that support that feeling. (which supports many third eye teachers with a constant and fresh supply of people trying to validate and prove their ability)
Then only with time to lose their focus and later think… yes it was only a dream.
So I will say it again:
It really all depends on how you decide to develop this and that is a longer process spanning years of practice: if it is truly to be the third eye. Otherwise you had simple visions more along the line of strong dreams to be.
I hope this makes sense.
sincerely
Casey
Hi everyone! I went to a psychic too to check about my third eye. She said the third eye is an addition eye that allows one to see ghosts. My aunt’s friend has that eye and he is always shouting about the ghosts everywhere during the hungry Ghost Festival. Is what the psychic true?
[...] see ghosts, apparations etc…. Have a look at this for more information about The Third Eye: http://personaltao.com/taoism-library/arAnd if you are wondering how to get rid of these ghosts- Tell your local church, they can do [...]
When my Mother died I sore some thing that I have never seen before.It was a very blue light in the middle of her forehead and as she was dieing it was flickering just like a light bulb and then it pulsed once and faded and finally went out,and my Mother Died.About two weeks after that I was down stairs watching TV and in a blink of an eye there was a glowing out line of what looked like a person in the doorway.I was shocked and could not believe what I had seen.
