Sight beyond sight is provided by an invisible eye known as the Third Eye. It is connected to a pivotal source of energy located in the forehead, between the eyebrows. The eye is inside the skull and it has a similar shape to that of an egg. Interestingly, the concept of the Cosmic Egg from where all creations emerged is a metaphor for the Third Eye. Once activated, it can create a completely new world for us.
What Happens when the Third Eye Is Activated?
Also known as Ajna, this Eye is believed to be the gate to our soul and when it is activated, it increases our perception of other realms. It provides a sense of Cosmic Awareness and enriches us with knowledge and wisdom without material means. Some also claim that it can enable a transfer of telepathic messages and this is why people with this activated chakra are referred to as the ‘Seers’.
As stated by H.P. Blavatsky, this chakra is associated with the pineal gland and she also adds that in the past, people had a Third Eye with one-of-a-kind abilities, but they diminished through time and became the Pineal Gland. The good news is that it can be grown back into a Third Eye with the help of specific steps and exercises.
How to Open Up the Third Eye
Sometimes, the chakra can open automatically whereas in other cases, it activates with the help of meditation or Qi-Qong. Below, we have prepared the most common signs that indicate an awakened Third Eye.
The Signs of an Activated Third Eye
You see colors and the light of the day differently
Upon activation of the Ajna, the senses are modified and the 6th sense becomes the dominant one. This results in seeing brighter colors, catching odd smells, and even feeling or hearing things that do not exist in this life form.
You have very vivid dreams
The improvement in your perception is now able to collect telepathic messages and visions from other realms and dreams are the best ‘tool’ to see them. Dream state can easily turn into a battlefield of strange images and emotions. It is never a good idea to reach for sleeping pills because they will contribute to the closing of the chakra.
A feeling of heaviness and headaches
As a result of chakra imbalance, if only the Third Eye activates accidentally, it can lead to frequent headaches and a feeling of heaviness.
You do not feel reality as real as before
When this chakra activates, one may begin to feel detached from reality and feel is if he/she is in a dream and everything is a lie. This is caused by the connection to other realms and the perception of our existence as something much more than the material world.
Changes in relationship
Once activated, the Third Eye can help you see and feel things more truly. Hence, what was once true for you, may now appear false. An open Ajna helps one find the truth fast. Sometimes, one is unable to keep up with the abundance of information and this may lead to breaking up relationships with people.
