3 Best Third Eye Meditations
Third Eye Chakra Meditations
Meditations to Open Third Eye
If you read the intriguing comments in the Kundalini Awakening Symtoms artilce, you will find that the region which is almost always affected by Kundalini Rising is the Third Eye center. This chakra (energy vortex) is situated in the center of forehead, just above eyebrows, and although it is so often a part of spiritual awakenings, the particular feelings and experiences which practitioners encounter there vary a great deal.
You will find in those reports, tingling in the Third Eye region, feeling pressure there, seeing colors, experiencing great expansion, pain, visions, etc, etc. In my view all these are indications of the Third Eye opening, but the particular experiences are different for different people. With regard to these physical and psychological experiences, I feel it is best to use them as a source of inspiration and motivation to deepen and expand your meditation and yoga practice.
The Third Eye is also of course the seat of intuition and wisdom, in the Kundalini Seven Chakra System, and so it is a particularly important center for those interested in spiritual evolution. Finally, the Third Eye is also considered the key for unleasing psychic powers and abilities so for those interested in such matters, again opening this chakra is of particular significance.
So what are some good meditations for opening the Third Eye? You will find lots of great Third Eye techniques on the website (just search the site using the search box in the top right sidebar), but in this article I want to suggest 3 particular Third Eye meditations for you to try.

Best Third Eye Meditations Summary:
The Third Eye is often the first chakra that is recommended to open when starting a serious Kundalini Yoga program. This is because this center is important for intuition and inner guidance, so once it is engaged, one can become one’s own Guru. But besides such profound benefits, these meditations are also excellent for simply building mental concentration and bestowing peace and tranquility. So I hope you will give them a try and I look forward to hearing your feedback with regard to the Third Eye, so please do share that with us in the comments section below.
I SHALL BE THANKFUL IF YOU KINDLY L ET ME HAVE YOUR YOGA CENTRE’S ADDRESS IN CALCUTTA OR ITS NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT I MAY ATTEND THE CLASSES AND MASTER THE ART.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
ASIT KRISHNA.
You have so much great value on your site. I have learned TCM Meditation many years back and got my own mantra. I now want to try some other kind of meditations. I admit, the second and third meditation introduced here is too complicated for me. But I can try the way you sit and the eye movement. Aside of this commend, I want to thank you for offering so much great advise.
Great resource, thanks for writing this. Ajna chakra is the one to open first to regulate and balance all the other chakras opening.
The inner intuition will control the rate of the other chakras opening
By nature I’ve been driven to the third eye, like I was searching the way home…
A powerfull meditation indeed, not for beginers.
Gives you intuition, wisdom, insight, spirutuality, compassion and others mentioned, of course…
So strange but true!
The way home? Could be, of course…
Those methods looks good, neet some time to try it out. Ty for videos. Ciril
