The term «third eye» varies according to the community in its specific meaning, but the general meaning in all communities refers to a literal or metaphorical sensory organ that allows «to see» beyond the five normally defined senses, towards the kingdom of the psychic.

What is the third eye?

The third eye is connected to the sixth chakra, Ajna, and the pineal gland. It is located in the center of the forehead, just above the eyes, with the corresponding chakra behind.

The sixth chakra, represented by the indigo color, is associated with intuition and vision. It consists of ninety -six rotating petals that transform into a swirl when the third eye opens.

Opening the third eye allows us to see beyond physical forms and take advantage of intuition and clairvoyance. Intuition is different from instinct, since it implies capturing things without relying on logical thinking. It combines instinct, intellect and its own inherent wisdom. Activate the sixth chakra awakens this faculty, which is asleep in many of us.

The third eye is also known as the central eye of Shiva or the eye of Horus. It is believed that receives and transmits information, allowing the perception of inner plans, forms of thought and entities that are not usually visible. Ajna, its headquarters, arises from the union of our physical eyes, which allows us to see beyond appearances and develop qualities such as intuition and concentration, which lead to a greater awareness of oneself.

In different cultures

For those who follow oriental practices, the term third eye refers to the third eye or chakra of the strive, the ajna, located between the eyebrows.

This third eye, which connects human beings with the spirit and their superior self, is strengthened through meditation and is used together with the other chakras to contribute a healthy balance to the life of practitioners.

Others use the term «third eye» without referring to the chakras system instead of referring to the second sight and referring to the third eye as the physical or metaphorical organ through which the second view and other types of psychic consciousness are possible.

The third eye is often associated with the pineal gland, which regulates sleep patterns and other biological cycles through the production of melatonin and other hormones.

The science of the third eye

Also known as the «third eye», the pineal gland (or epiphyses) is an endocrine gland located in the center of the brain. It is considered the headquarters of the spirit and is responsible for producing a unique molecule called DMT.

The existence of the pineal gland has been recognized since ancient times, being Galen one of the first to describe it, comparing its shape with that of a small pineapple (hence the name).

When fully developed, the pineal gland is only slightly larger than a hazelnut. In the fetus, it becomes visible from the seventh week, which according to the Tibetan tradition coincides with the migration of the soul to the body.

Functions of the pineal gland

One of the most crucial biological functions of the pineal gland is melatonin production, a neurotransmitter hormone that regulates the circadian rhythm, governing the sleep and vigil phases.

Melatonin is synthesized from tryptophan and serotonin, the latter a neurotransmitter that intervenes in the regulation of body temperature, hunger/satiety and mood. It is often known as «the hormone of happiness.»

Recent studies highlight the role of melatonin in the protection of the pineal gland, which, in turn, is closely related to our life expectancy. Thus, a healthy pineal gland can contribute to a longer life.

The pineal gland and the DMT

The pineal gland is even more fascinating due to its production of DMT (dimethylectamine), also known as «God’s molecule.» The DMT plays an important role in the connection of the body with the spirit.

Scientific studies reveal that the pineal gland naturally secretes substantial amounts of DMT during birth, death and experiences close to death. This indicates that the DMT serves as «bridge» between the physical body and the spiritual kingdom.

In certain individuals, the pineal gland secretes sufficient DMT during sleep, which facilitates extraordinary experiences such as lucid dreams or astral trips.

In essence, the pineal gland allows us to connect with the invisible world, the kingdom of the spirit. This knowledge is well known to the shamans, as it is evident in the rituals with Ayahuasca, an infusion based plant containing DMT, used in shamanic ceremonies to induce altered states of consciousness.

To open your third eye, start by establishing your intention for this phase of your life. Perform deliberate actions to achieve this goal.

The measures to be taken vary depending on each person and there is no single technique. It is essential to ask for advice from a teacher.

Methods such as hypnosis, self -hypnosis, meditation, mantras and prayers can be powerful tools. Kundalini Yoga, particularly techniques centered on the pineal gland, can also be effective.

Freeing from ego traps, belief systems and conditioning that reduce their vibratory rate is equally important.

Finally, be patient and enjoy every step of the road. A hurry before time can hinder your progress.

Benefits of Awakening the Third Eye

The third eye is the headquarters of consciousness, which allows us to see beyond the surface of the matter and perceive deeper meanings related to our soul and our physical experiences.

The scientific discoveries and the testimonies of the enlightened teachers reveal that the third eye can capture not only the electromagnetic waves of our dimension (3rd dimension), but also those of the finest dimensions of the universe.

Channeling messages of deceased souls, having visions of future events and perceiving auras are manifestations of the faculties of the third eye, which operate in different dimensional planes with different temporal and spatial characteristics.

Balancing the «invisible eye» is crucial, since an imbalance can cause mental confusion and negative emotions, hindering the person’s ability to transcend the challenges of life and understand their internal faculties.

The third eye also acts as a bridge of communication with the soul, providing perceptions, advice, premonitions, synchronicities and awareness to make the appropriate decisions and fulfill the mission of the incarnation itself.

Erroneous concepts and controversies

The exercises to open the third eye abound on the Internet, but you have to be careful when working with subtle energies. It is essential to investigate the sources and be careful with the exercises that promise quick and easy results.

Some practices have caused damage, which underlines the importance of informed exploration and education.
