How can someone open their third eye at will (safely)?

It just happened (or I started to notice) about a month after my psychic friend advised me not to be fearful of what I would see and that if it was too distracting I could always choose to 'close' it.

She gave me the exercise of imagining my third eye as a camera aperture opening (and that you can close it the same way if you want). Another good exercise is to place your palms a few inches apart facing each other and see if you can see the band of energy or sparks between your palms or the auras around your fingers. This didn't used to work for me so don't give up if at first you don't see anything.

Well you can just use your mental focus on your third eye place. Just dont strain. resting like that in meditation will give you a feeling thats something is there. After a few sessions it works well with your eyes open also. I sometimes use it if i feel i need more intuition. Sometimes it seems to work and other times not.

Sometimes when meditation like this i can see what looks like a random scene from a random persons life. Dunno if its real. Anyway if i imagine him/her to do something they will do it , then just stare idly at me. So that speaks against it being any thing from reality. Other times all i can see are eyes and symbols  of eyes.

Interesting that what you see is an eye - I do as well, or I see an outline of a face but mostly the eyes. Somehow it's validating that someone else has the same experience. Thanks.
