KL, a beautiful post and awesome reminder. I’ve been torn recently between pushing myself in growth vs allowing the growth to occur naturally — to lay the foundation and let it happen when it will. A fantastic message for me, at the perfect time!
I’ve really been enjoying your articles! Thanks for all the great work!!
many thanks for all your articles. this was fantastic. yes, unless we are open nothing, nothing at all will flow!
Hey Jeff,
Lovely to have you stop by! I guess when we’re keen to grow, for whatever reason, it’s always good to take a look out the window at a tree, or a flower, which reminds us that growth happens naturally. All we need to do it not block it.
Hey Michael,
My pleasure – thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful article, KL. So true, the heart is the bridge between the lower three and upper three chakras. Without the heart, we do not have access to our inner wisdom or Divine Creator aspect. Great stuff.
Incidentally, I once had a huge third-eye opening during a yoga class. I was just enjoying down-dog and then – boom – I could hardly see. It went on for about three days. Amazing what can happen!
Blessings,
Andrea
Hey Andrea,
Wow – isn’t it ironic that when our third eye does open… sometimes our other two eyes have trouble functioning.
I love your description of the heart as the bridge between the lower three and upper three chakras too. Below we are focused on survival and controlling external circumstances, above we are focused on creating and making internal choices… and the heart is the key to it all.

It takes time to open the eye, but worth it. Try to Astral project, even if U fail at it, ur 3rd eye will be stronger.
Do not use: Sugar, alcohol, caffeine, as they damage it. Drink herbal teas, eat raw vegs, NO meat or very little.
Hey Ron,
Thanks for your input -have you used these methods yourself with success? And the big question, when the third eye opens, what does one see?
It takes understanding and knowledge of the world around you. Communication is key. Once you have mastered more then just communication in dream realms and with inanimate objects around (example would be communicating with your car keys to always know where they are) you then you should be able to use it correctly when it opens.
But when it is opening it hurts like crazy. Usually this chakra does not open or is not noticed until it is needed. This chakra can also grow over understanding and spiritual power. When you first start using it it’s very likely it will only be a small ache in the middle of your forehead and just above your brow. Over time it can grow to be bigger then both of your eyes combined but I really don’t suggest working on turning your eye into a chia pet, cus it gives you a huge throbbing headache right along the area of your eye almost like as if your growing a horn right there. It gives you amazing abilities though, like sight for one it really really clear, and your mind and allows you to see deeper into pressing concerns. One way to deal with the pain of the opening eye stare into someones soul, but having the third eye open for me at least is more of a nascence cus when you’re at this level you can see all this without the eye opening.
The eye opening is more of a warning of something to come that you will need to see deeper into in order to get the truth. It’s just like any other chakra in the respect of it giving off a feeling only when it it desperately needed or is a concern and needs the use of it’s power.
If you feel I am wrong then feel free to disagree with me. I’m only informing not telling you what to believe in.
Hey Anneka,
Wow, you’ve got lot of fascinating information there. I love hearing other people’s internal experiences of the subtle body. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing all of this!

Hey Omaso,
My recommendation would be to find a wise yoga teacher close to you. You need to speak to someone in person.
Good luck,

Hey Luis,
I would suggest finding a yoga teacher in Philly. No matter what is going on with your third eye, the best thing you can do is regular, grounding yoga practice under the guidance of an experienced teacher. Ask around and see if anyone can recommend someone for you, check the local library or community centre, or google philly yoga teachers.
Good luck, and best wishes.

i would like you to tech me how to open my heart then i will open my third eye so i can change the world to a better place with only one nation we will live in peace
Hey Cory,
Where to start… where to start… Probably the easiest way to experience an open heart is to chant… yes the practice of Kirtan effortlessly opens the heart. You’ll know it when you feel it! Find out where to go to chanting or Kirtan near to where you live and start there.
Blessings,
KL
