I will be the first to admit that I’m a newbie in the practice of meditation. During the course of my early morning practice, in addition to dodging frantically my monkey mind, one of the techniques I try to employ is that of focusing on my ‘third eye’.
The ‘third eye’ , also referred to as the ‘inner eye’… the seat of intuition.
In yogic, or esoteric, terms the ‘third eye’ leads within towards a higher consciousness. It is also the sixth chakra, ‘Aagya chakra‘, lying between the eyebrows.
At a recent retreat a young woman broke down near the end of the meditation, and through her tears, orgasmically exclaimed that she’d managed not only to quiet her mind like never before, but in her tranquil focus, was able actually not only to identify her ‘third eye’ but ‘see into it’ and had, in fact, witnessed colours!
Huh?! How did I manage to miss out on that? Those of us who had yet to get even close to quieting our minds were intensely intrigued as the whole colour thing was yet just another dimension to meditation of which we were pitifully unaware.
And, upon further discussion it was mentioned that a developed capacity to draw upon the energy, direct one’s focus upon the ‘third eye’ can be attributed to clairvoyance and precognition. Wow! That was something I wanted to explore!
