Third eye – What is it? How to open? Is it possible to close?

The third eye is located right in the center of our brain and both the scientific and spiritual community agree that it functions as a powerful center for transmitting and receiving information. But what information would that be?

What is the third eye?

According to experts, the third eye is nothing more than our pineal gland, which is as small as a pea and shaped like a pinecone, hence the name pineal.

In addition, after years of studies, scientists have found that this gland is formed by small crystals of an ore called apatite, which can also be easily found in nature.

The main property of apatite is the capture of electromagnetic fields and it is precisely in this way that interactions with the spiritual plane occur.

Therefore, the third eye is closely linked to intuition, spirituality and the perception of metaphysical events.

People who have developed mediumship have a greater amount of apatite crystals in the pineal gland than other people, thus capturing divine interference more easily.

In the spiritual and esoteric universe, three good examples of people who have the third eye activated and use it a lot are the clairvoyant, the seers and the mediums.

However, the function of the third eye is very similar to that of a radar, capturing information and working together with other areas of the brain so that this data can be understood.

That is, it is not the third eye that interprets the information captured, but other areas of the brain, such as the frontal cortex.

What is the spiritual meaning of the third eye?

For spirituality, the meaning of the third eye is associated with the center of a subtle energy of consciousness and they are able to convey peace of mind to those who can activate it.

The third eye is also considered the holder of wisdom, being responsible for the development of self-knowledge.

The functioning of the third eye is closely and deeply linked to the action of two of the most important human energy centers: the ajna chakras, located between our eyebrows, and the sahashara (crown), located at the top of the head.

These two chakras their function is to capture and transmit vital energies. They often reveal spiritual information and influence some of our most important actions and choices.

The ajna chakra is responsible for clairvoyance, mediumship and creativity and the sahashara chakra takes care of replenishing cosmic energies and spiritual forces.

The third eye, through these chakras, works as a bridge that keeps us connected to the spiritual plane, representing God within each of us and influencing our artistic and intellectual expressions.

• Third eye pain and more frequent headaches.

In the article “Third eye: 6 symptoms that it is opening”, we detail each of these symptoms.

How to close the third eye?

Many people, after opening their third eye, feel that their intuition is overactive and that their gift is a little out of control, suffering more from the side effects than the benefits of their mediumship.

In these cases, it is possible to close the third eye, as well as to silence any of the seven chakras in the body.

An exercise that helps to close the sixth chakra is to imagine it as a window. For this, he sits comfortably and begins to meditate, staying a few minutes in silence, just concentrating on his breathing.

When you feel yourself beginning to enter a meditative state, focus on the point between your eyebrows. Imagine that there is a bright window there that is wide open, allowing everything to pass through it.

You can imagine a gale coming through that window or a stream of water invading your mind and body.

However, don’t let whatever is coming in through that window get lodged in your psyche. Direct the water, wind or other element downwards, passing through the other chakras, until it leaves your feet.

Let whatever you are visualizing entering your third eye flow through your entire body until it is completely out of you.

There will come a time when you will feel calmer and lighter, feeling the need to close that window and darken your mind.

Then imagine your sixth chakra window closing for a few minutes, until you feel that everything is where it should be.

Where to look for help for third eye related problems?

If you find it difficult to open or close your third eye on your own, feeling blocked or hyperactive, know that there are several professionals and holistic therapies that can help you.

A good option is to perform kundalini yoga to work all seven of your chakras from the bottom up. That way, you’ll be able to balance them.

So if you choose kundalini yoga, you will need to take seven classes, working one chakra per class, to reach your ultimate goal: closing or opening your third eye. Unfortunately, it is not possible to balance the chakras by working only the sixth.

Another alternative is to heal your sixth chakra through Reiki. This therapy will work your invisible vital energy, stimulating your third eye.

You can still get help by making an appointment with one of the specialists. Our psychics have already gone through this process of opening the third eye and will be able to guide you on best practices, telling you what worked or not for them and how they managed to control or get used to their mediumistic powers.
