To activate your third eye and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland and the pituitary body must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and relaxation. When a correct relationship is established between personality, operating through the pituitary body, and the soul, operating through the pineal gland, a magnetic field is created.

Visualization exercise is the first step in directing the energies in your inner system to activate the third eye. The magnetic field is created around the pineal gland, by focusing the mind on the midway point between the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The creative imagination visualizes something and the thought energy of the mind gives life and direction to this form

The third eye development, imagination and visualization are important ingredients in many methods to separate from the physical form. Intuition is also achieved through the third eye. Knowledge and memory of the astral plane are not registered in a fully wakened consciousness until the intuition becomes strong enough. Flashes of intuition come with increasing consistency as the third eye is activated to a greater degree, through practice

Everybody sees images or shapes after closing their eyes although most do not pay attention to the images, because they are not programmed to look at images. The images can come from your higher self, your spirit guides or other spirit friends. These images can take time to understand but there is no hurry.

Many native traditions and mystical practices refer to the ability of seeing or being aware of energy fields at higher levels. This abstract awareness is much more subjective and does not involve the normal level of mundane consciousness, which is mostly concerned with self identity. This seeing refers to the sight of the third eye.

The third eye is an organ of the light body which may be referred to as the energy or etheric body. When the third eye is opened it has access to the layers or dimensions of the soul. I refer to the soul as the memories of the light being. These memories contain the past, future and present dimensions of what some people might define as time. The third eye is the gateway or portal to the dimensionality of space which may be described as space or time. You can enter through a portal to another dimension in order to travel. Many people have experienced this partially via dreams and visions. Tuning the third eye allows an individual more freedom of choice and clarity.

Tuning of the third eye is similar to cleaning the lenses of a camera. In this way the third eye is freed from blockages and debris left from past, present, future and life traumas. Once the third eye is activated it is a direct perceptual communication organ between the light body and the physical body.

Traditionally the third eye is used by people that are interested in working towards planetary peace. All of the work is guided by your spirit guide.

The third eye is super sensitive and therefore can be easily affected by moods, food, drink and drugs. Those people whose third eye is constantly open have a tendency towards being over stimulated. These people may find that noise such as television or radio and other electromagnetic equipment causes them irritation, in these cases the third eye is jammed open due to over activity- sensorial overload. This stresses the body as it distorts the communication system of the soul.

Once you have connected with your third eye you will have a sense of floating in a sea of energy. This sense is cultivated via many practices within many cultures meditation, relaxation and sport. However it is not the activity that generates the sense of the third eye it is the third eye that generates the sense of balance, focus, attention, co-ordination and flow of the your performance. The third eye is responsible for the freedom of choice to intend movement of the light body. Therefore the freedom of individuality and creativity is controlled by the third eye.

The Third eye is the gateway to the future of our civilization. As a culture we will be faced with accepting our light bodies as the part of the soul that is responsible for taking care of the planet earth.

Here is an exercise you can try.

Sit quietly clear your mind of diversions and clutter take a few slow deep breaths and start to focus on the screen in your mind.

Colours should start to come into view. Keep watching the colours relax and breathe deeply and slowly. The colours will now turn into a shape that you may or may not recognize.

If you do not see anything this could be because you are not relaxed or you are nervous. If this happens just go back and try again a little later in the day.
