I think imagining that a "third eye" exists can help with your RV and AP and other things involving psychic sight.

Kriya Yoga develops both Kundalini and the Third Eye. Like Dzogchen from Buddhism, it seeks also to transcend the differences between all religions. Incredibly enough, it even finds value in Christianity and makes it appear to be a real religion.

I have several that I currently use but feel that this topic should help alot of the people newer to the energy body and such. My techniques are very personalized and would take alot of time to write...

Same here re. personalisation but... Primarily the focus is to improve awareness of self, self being the subtle bodies and the senses that they have. As I see it basically we tend to operate within the normal physical senses which is more than 5 or at least with the frameworks established by the use of such and what is experienced is mapped onto those senses.
This makes for a certain coherence of what is experienced, beyond such we drift into the unknown and often some interesting interpretations

In my earlier days practising object memory, otherwise known as Psychometry is on reflection a good way to hone senses in a somewhat holistic manner as all the normal senses can be driven when feeling out the connections that an object may have.
I know a few people now who have used variations on the above with good results. Searches for psychometry should turn something up but in short is is generally a combination of a meditation state (largely simply relaxed and receptive) and a focus on the object of interest. Someone to corroborate anything percieved is useful.

Thanks alot! Thats a new view on the third eye, I had not yet been brought to hear about that certain aspect of the 'third eye'

Best wishes,

Thank you for your replies so far, I was wondering if any of you had techniques for attaining the specific abilities, clarvoiance, auric sight (other than the one on Roberts page) and just working with that part of the energy body. I have several that I currently use but feel that this topic should help alot of the people newer to the energy body and such. My techniques are very personalized and would take alot of time to write...and probabally more time to figure out what i just typed after that. Thank you for your posts!

Hello,
What is an effective technique for opening the 3rd eye?

How do you know when it is opened? Do you actually see things? or is it just imagination?

What is Clarvoiance? Is it the same as opening the 3rd eye?

Even from just these parts there are likely to be several definitions here are a few thoughts.
When I started learning it was within a spiritualist context. Clairvoyance was the means whereby messages were conveyed from spirit types to oneself. This essentially operates as someone presenting images which would then be interpreted. In many ways this is a somewhat passive mode in that the information is brought to the receiver.
I recall that during the learning process (which was in a development type circle) the images would sometimes collapse and wash out.
Is it imagination? test it

Is it the same as the third eye? For me this is a symbolic concept, with experience one senses and visualises from many points, sometimes imagery (with other inputs) will be presented in what is conveniently called the minds eye or third eye, othertimes say astral hands, being a recent example given hereabouts, will make the connections for distant imagery etc to be viewed e.g. non localised mind type stuff.

It is perhaps somewhat easy when labelling to box concepts and maybe limit growth in the future, stay flexible is my advice

What is an effective technique for opening the 3rd eye?

Anyone can develop clairvoyance . One does not need to be born with it .
Here is one technique to develop clairvoyance; http://www.astralsociety.com/as/Forum/i ... 343.0.html
How do you know when it is opened? Close your physical eyes and try to see auras around living objects or objects recently used by the live . Also practice raising energy and sitting looking at sitters to see spirit around them . If you can see auras and spirit your eye has begun to open . There are many levels of clairvoyance . Some call it many veils that have to be shed .
Do you actually see things? Yes ,in the beginning some will just 'know' . The normal continuum is to then feel , then see , then hear .
or is it just imagination? You can prove your own clairvoyance by sitting in a group and reading the same sitters .You can also check your accuracy through the sitter's confirmation of the information you give off .
What is Clairvoyance? Clairvoyance is the supernatural sight of the energy body , auras and spirit and spiritual realms etc .
Is it the same as opening the 3rd eye? Yes . But the energy body develops sight beyond the eye . A Wheel of Life for example will develop in and around the third eye . The ears will also open .
Does your third eye need to be opened to see auras? Yes but this can be done at an emergent level .

Personally I disagree with the prevalent view of seeing auras . I believe seeing the opposite colour is retinal fatigue and not auric sight . For example if we stare at a red white and blue flag long enough and then look at a white equal size flag it will become cloured as green black and orange . These are merely the opposite colours in the spectrum . Auras on the other hand are changeable with mood , health , surroundings and energy taken in by the sitter .

I believe that auric cameras are often a true estimation of auras . The aura is present around the entire body but is easily seen around the head and shoulders . The depth of layers will increase over time with development of the sitter . Auras are never one colour .When a person flushes in anger or embaressment for example the camera might catch this and an inaccurate image will be captured . I cannot attest for the voracity of all aura cameras but I can see energy very well and I believe that most people that claim the auric camera photo is not accurate only see a small portion of the auric layers so their view is not the same .

[nicktender]

sounds like an animation. The auric camera catches mabye 1/24th of a second of what, for example, aunt clair sees all the time. mabye thats where people get auras being one color, or so cut and dry.

Thanks for the post, Kalonek.
I have been having similar experiences with chakras in the forehead region. I will pay closer attention to their energetic connections and look into your idea of unifying them...

The head is actually absolutely chockers with energy centres .

Larger image here ;
http://groups.msn.com/AlchemicalFlame/s ... hotoID=279

The brow centre is an area that crosses the entire forehead and is shaped like an ellipse or an eye stretching horizontally . Within this is a centre core which is also elliptical this one is vertical like the pupil in a dragons eye . Around this is a circular structure called the wheel of life and many tiny epicentres of energy ring the perimeter . The Third eye is the core of this elaborate structure extending from the back of the skull through the pituitary gland to the centre of the forehead above the physical eyes .

Now to either side of the third eye there are another pair of cores these are as horns the nose and the 2 ears are similar sized cores of energy .

Below the nose and ears is the complex mouth , throat chakra and tan tien with another wheel of life .

Above the third eye wheel of life there is the kanda in the centre of the scalp this is another place for kundalini to erupt from and descend into .
Now on the top of the head there are two more horn places these are as antennae but are equal in size to the ones on the face about the size of a large sink plug .

Two more of these cores will appear eventually on the back of the third eye to either side of it and two more on either side of the head above the ears .All of these cores will bring in and send out energy .

The third eye will continue to develop becoming multifaceted . Dragon eyes manifest on either side of the third eye and these extend as orbs away from the head . They are jeweled spheres coloured hermetically .In hemisphere styled globes they are half topaz on top on the right and on the bottom half sapphire . On the left these are half emerald on top and half ruby below .

The third eye is nested protected shielded and encrusted . It is open in successive subsequent layers called veils which may be felt to be ripped asunder during some alchemical stages and in others gently lifted or parted . I suspect like the kundalini that the eye continues to develop infinitely and eternally and is not ever perfected as a live human .

Daily practice opening in protection and sitting in the dark is the best way to begin . Look to the aura of your own hand after you have said your prayers and before you go to sleep . Look also at those around you and your toes . Notice that the energy around the fingers is like a flaming light but now try to look into the finger itself . The color is strongest on the palm . The back of the hand is the weakest . The fingers themselves lack colour in the beginning magician . An adept will have colour to the top of each digit and the colours of the fingers will be hermetically visible as earth air fire water and the thumb and hidden thumb will complement whatever stage the magician is currently in .

[97dYA9L3]

Hmmm.... Interesting food for thought, Aunt Clair. Just one question- what is the "hidden thumb?"

Hmmm.... Interesting food for thought, Aunt Clair. Just one question- what is the "hidden thumb?"

-Matthew

The energy body of the magician develops extra appendages which aid in projection one of the first to manifest is a pair of hidden thumbs on the outside of each hand palm downwards . These are opposite the physical thumb . Similarly a pair of claws appear on the outer edge of the foot only these are like a dragon's dewclaw in appearance at first . Later the magician manifests a pair of arms and eyes at each cardinal direction .

Hello,

I was posting a series of questions that I am asked often and many other forums are asked as well. I think a thread that has these in it will be effective in clearing things up for many people.

What is an effective technique for opening the 3rd eye?

How do you know when it is opened? Do you actually see things? or is it just imagination?

What is Clarvoiance? Is it the same as opening the 3rd eye?

Does your third eye need to be opened to see auras?

I do not believe myself one to answer these questions as I am still working on doing this and looking for a good method myself. So if anyone can answer this or any of these I would be very appreciative of it.

Hello everyone ! I am a bit late on this topic, but I thought I had a piece of information to share regarding the "third eye".

People usually mistake the brow chakra with the famous "third eye" nowadays, and I did too, but a few experiences I had in the last years tend to show me that there is no actual "third eye" in the right sense of the term as a "normal" part of the energy body.

First of all, during my daily NEW practice for the past 4 years, I have noticed the presence of at least 3 "big" chakras on the forehead (5 if I count the temples), following the middle axis of the body (brow, middle of the forehead, upper forehead). In a few experiences I made with extreme energy stimulation of this area, the pressure, heat etc. of those three chakras suddenly melted into one unique, very thin line of energy from the brow to the top of the forehead, fusioning the three chakras into a new one for as long as I stayed in this energetic and mental states. I then found on the internet images of shivah with a small "drop" (red jewel) on his forehead, or buddha's representations with a third eye being vertical and covering all the middle axis of his forehead. I believe therefore that this is the "real" third eye, also called "shivah's eye" in India. During these experiences, I had a lot of phosphens, colors etc. swirling into my mental screen, although I was just relaxed (it usually only happens to me when I'm close to sleep of AP).

However, I am not skilled enough at this time to have been able to study a lot the effects and uses of this "third eye", but I hope someone could tell me more about it, or continue to explore in this direction.

PS : sorry for my english, it's not my mother tongue

[nannysuetle]

Ah I see. Could you perhaps put a link to that reference, if you think it is any good that is, so as people who are interested might be able to purchase it? It's up to you though. Although, to those people who are intersted I would really recommend reading Astral Dynamics, it has alot of interesting methods there. Also, http://www.astralsociety.com is a good reference as well. They seem to have lots of basic tutorials.

Best wishes to all,

It is the same situation with me. I have a combination of approaches which I'm using to develop the third eye and it would also take some time to put everything here. More importantly, it would be a copyright issue as I did not invent them myself and one of them specifically says not to share it with people who haven't paid for it.
