10 steps to awaken your third eye

It is felt that the third eye is active and makes wider sensing possible as humans dream. As the physical eyes are closed, the physical mind works in conjunction with this heightened sensitivity. Many people wonder how they could learn to open this third eye while conscious. What if learning is not the issue but rather, getting out of the way?

Consider the third eye," is where, as the Bible notes, "thine eyes become single," where there is no longer a difference between male and female, and where "the peace that passeth all understanding" dwells.  Another view is that deepening awareness enables a seer to access Godhood. Allow yourself to truly be open and receptive to this other eye.

To deepen awareness, you must truly believe the third eye exists and know the pineal gland used to be the third eye.  It is actually a cosmic receiver and sender of multi-dimensional information.  This gland gets calcified (blocked from functioning/ seeing) as you ingest fluoride and certain foods. You can research this.  A good rule of thumb is to stear clear of processed foods and high fructose corn syrup. You may choose to alter your standard food and beverage diet and toothpaste brand, and drink purified (non-fluorinated) water to decalcify the pineal.  Watch how seeing takes new shape.

You may think its desirable to force the third eye open quickly, like with a drill.  This is not advisable.  An unexpected bump on the head, meditation and yoga are practices that help quiet the mind. The gradual or spontaneous rising of kundalini energy has a huge impact.  When you are ready, the third eye reveals itself.  Ask yourself why you want it open now.  What is the urgency? Did someone tell you to do it? How do you suppose this can serve you?

It is relevant George Boyd explores the attentional principle (purusa). As you evolve to separate yourself from its vehicles; the astral (used in dreaming), causal (your logic) and mental (assumptions), you discern how the third eye functions alone.

At its core, the nature of your attention is like a wave of self-understanding. When you focus at this level, you move from contemplating your 'attentional principle' to being it. Different kinds of meditation focus  attention on the expansive view of the third eye.  Engaging the third eye reveals that you are raising your core vibration.

Practice of Purusa Dhyan Meditation (Based on work by George Boyd)

Sit upright in a chair, or in a comfortable cross-legged position on a sofa or, on a cushion on the floor. Loosen your shoulders. Do head half head circles. Close your eyes. Focus attention at the point between your eyebrows. Shift attention to the areas blow for 3-5 minutes each. Discern experience at each level, then move on:

1) Sense what it means to sit 'here & now.'
2) Become aware of sensations arising from the external environment 'in the now.'
3) Detect sensations arising in the body 'now.'
4) Feel emotions arising 'now.'
5) Recognize thoughts arising 'now.'
6) Reflect on 'I AM' statements, with related thoughts, feelings, & memories.
7) Notice memories and impressions bubble up from the Subconscious.
8) Identify the present sense of time is being recorded in memory.
9) Refocus attention be move through each chakra of the Subconscious mind.

After you have completed the 9 steps above, you are ready to focus attention behind the point between the eyebrows towards the top of your head. You will encounter a presence behind this center that silently observes. Focus more intently on this presence. You will begin to see and feel light emanating from this presence.

Affirm quietly, "the self, the size of a thumb, is seated behind the two eyes. It is self-effulgent light. It is consciousness itself. I am this consciousness." This outlines the attention principle. In a nutshell, its your third eye that expands your vision within when your two eyes are closed.  How detailed your visions become begins inside.

Invest in your priorities

Lots of people talk of writing, but fewer actually make the time to 'get around to it.' As you consciously choose to invest in writing as a priority, you will also be investing in your self-growth and your future. Even if you're uncertain about how you will approach a writing project, whether it will be an article, a story, a book, a blog, a column or prose, thinking about the activity is a vital step. Whether you'll ever write for yourself publish is very much up to you. Ask yourself these questions:

1) Why do you wish to write? Are your motives ego-based (self-interested) or more altruistic? Do you wish to serve (raise awareness)? Some people keep a diary or journal to document events, explore emotions or vent negative feelings. Other people write to work through painful experiences or with hopes to initiate reflection or discussion. Still other people engage in automatic writing to communicate with spiritual worlds and to heighten sensitivities. All choices are steps you take to better understand yourself. You may write to help yourself or others or both. Will you seek to generate money? to promote a cause? to educate? to provoke controversy? or, do you have hidden motives? Answers here enable you to identify a clearer course of action. As you narrow your focus, its easier to clarify a path.

2) Which subjects interest you? Ask yourself if you desire to write pure fantasy or concentrate on non-fiction. Topics that enter your mind will inspire you and then, naturally narrow your focus. Do you have real-life experience in this area? Are you well-researched? Have you consulted experts? Are you on a path to follow in someone's footsteps? To get the point, you need to become aware of your priorities.

3) Who will be your readers? Whether you decide to share your material is partly determined by your desired audience. Decide whom your efforts would really benefit; business, organisations, individuals, groups or yourself in terms of personal growth. Will your writing need structure and deadlines? Will your work be voluntary, freelance contract or salaried? Are you writing as part of a therapy exercise, for self-healing or another reason? Is your audience to be very general or specific? Will it be older or younger? Will you reach out to a particular culture, race, religious or community group, political affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, income bracket or another category of people? After decisions, the next step is to develop self-confidence.

Move beyond contemplation

You may be in a romantic relationship where you contemplate the next step. What could indecisiveness reveal? When things seem to go well, you might begin to question whether the situation is "too good to be true." When arguments frequently arise and things seem increasingly tense or precarious, you may wonder if your efforts are misdirected. To sense being 'between a rock and a hard place' invites you to explore underlying messages in your emotions. These three strategies will help:

1) Share how you really feel. It may be timely to engage in a candid discussion with someone you cherish. Are you being honest with yourself and others about your hopes and feelings? Why fear revealing your true nature or postpone accepting who you are? If you doubt, ask yourself why you feel you aren't lovable. In reality, the more integrity you manifest, the more real and fulfilling your relationships will be.

2) Reflect on relationships of same gender. Any intimate connections you feel or develop are linked to interactions with family and friends of that gender. You may have unresolved feelings such as hostility, envy, blame or guilt. Negativity will influence the state of your romance and how you treat or accept treatment from a partner. Identify any patterns and habits that may need revising or eliminating.

3) Strengthen faith in your intuition. You may benefit from taking steps to boost self-confidence. This may develop through meditation, physical exercise, devoting yourself to uplifting pursuits in renewing environments, and spending time with people who enable you to feel good about yourself. The more reasons you have to feel happy and capable, the more likely you'll believe your intuition or inner voice.

4 Benefits to learning to read auras

Some people believe evidence doesn't justify "the paranormal," unless it is our own lack of understanding about innate abilities. If you decide to disbelieve or not exert effort to see auras, this concept will remain beyond you. If, however, you evolve to experience things for yourself, you'll no longer require convincing. Rather, you will know what its like, feel the underlying energy, and grow to decipher it.

Each human is basically an energy being. Particles of energy vibrate and create Aura signatures. They enable us to gain insight into a person's personality and conditions. Aura colors have meaning based on the mental and physical body. Our ability to see and understand auras has potential to change as we raise our spiritual awareness.

Scientists believe the human Aura is partly composed from EM (electromagnetic) radiation, which combines microwave, infrared (IR) and UV light. The low frequency microwave and infrared part of the spectrum (body heat) seems connected to low levels of body functioning (DNA structure, metabolism, circulation). High frequency (UV) is grounded in conscious activities like thinking, creativity, intentions, humor and emotions. It helps to grasp distinctions as part of your learning process. Why would it be useful to expand on your perception and learn to read auras?

1) Nobody can lie to you undetected. To see an aura is like seeing into another person's thoughts before you hear spoken words. Meanings of aura color are clues about levels of stress, anxiety, frustration, integrity other feelings and talents the person has, may not discuss or, consciously recognize. If your sense aura levels incompatible with what a person says, you detect lies. People can't fake Auras. You only accurately detect them if you sincerely believe without ego-based motives.

2) You can discern accurate intentions. They reveal our innermost nature and intentions. When you detect a bright aura, its clear this person is good and spiritually advanced, even if the person is humble or unaware. To discern a gray or dark aura, reveals a person shrouded in doubt, low esteem, insecurity and other negative energies which have been permitted to control. As you refer to updated tables of aura colors and meanings, you will be in a position to expand here.

3) Its possible to sense health issues. Auras offer a means to detect malfunctions and imbalances in the physical body before symptoms become visible or magnified. Learning to consciously regulate your aura is a strategy you can use to heal yourself from within. This can compliment or eventually replace other healing approaches.

4) Elevate your consciousness. Human beings most often emit dull Auras. This stems from materialistic attitudes that suppress the development of consciousness. Ask yourself how much control is exerted by feelings such as fear, envy, jealousy, greed and other ego-based scepticism. Negativity suppresses your inner self, your knowledge of why you exist and your potential. As the result, auras become reduced in intensity. You forget what they are and focus instead on lack rather than the perfection you are. Choose to go further than just remember what you are.

4 Tips to stop undermining your own progress

How often are you asked what you really want? You may evolve to the point where you answer, just before you begin to apologize for why you can't do the thing, why you've postponed it, why its not affordable, why you aren't yet ready, why you don't yet have enough of what you really need. This implies your subconscious and actual words are undermining your progress. Its time to stop making excuses. What can you do about it? How can you focus on more positive thoughts and new progress?

1) Practice affirmations. Take time to write out 25 reasons why you will follow through with your desired project. Include why you feel capable, ready, focused, detemined and prepared. Consider additional ideas about consequences on your mindset, attitude and overall self-view. Explain why you believe in your success.

2) Nurture prosperity consciousness. If its money or other prosperity you seek, its important to do what it takes to develop more confidence in how you imagine success is already unfolding. What reasons do you have to feel energized? jubilant? talented? self-directed? engaged? guided? and more aware of what you want?

3) Reiterate your desires. Speak and write about at least 25 wonderful traits and qualities you are. You might rephrase what you think you desire in different ways so as to gain new insight. This will deepen your understanding, boost morale and enable you to reframe hopes and plans more concisely. You are what you think about.

4) Review & purify your intentions. Go through the visualization process. Experience how your life will be when you have accomplished this thing that means so much. What will you be doing differently? How will you feel? Imagine how you can serve rather than say to yourself, "what can I get out of this?" You attract favorable outcomes with less ego and less desire to rigidly control all aspects of a situation.
