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.

3 Best Third Eye Meditations:

1. AUM Mantra Third Eye Meditation:

One of the most potent and popular Third Eye meditations is the AUM Mantra Meditation Technique. This meditation uses the concept of the Beej Mantra or Seed Sound to stimulate and open the Third Eye Center.

The other components that make this meditation is so effective is the use of Shambavi Mudra, which is common to most Third Eye meditations and the use of Gyan Mudra.

Here is a video detailing how to practice this wonderful technique to open the Third Eye.

2. Gayatri Mantra Third Eye Meditation:

This particular meditation uses the most powerful Vedic Mantra, the Gayatri Mantra, and visualization to help balance and open the Third Eye chakra. The other components of this meditation are same as the AUM Mantra Meditation Technqiue. Here is an article with full detail of this technique: Gayatri Meditation for Opening Third Eye Chakra.

3. Lord Shiva Third Eye Meditation:

This meditation uses visualization, yoga numerology and yogic breathing to open the Third Eye. You will find complete details in the following article: Chakra Meditation to Open Third Eye.

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 ones own Guru. But besides such profound benefits, these meditations are also excellent for simply building mental concentration and bestowing peace and tranquility.
