3rd eye opening

[star]

I hear that the 3rd eye would be a most important chakara to open. On that note I hear the easiest way to 'open' it would simply be many long meditation sessions. Is that all there is to it? (I'm sorry this post is rather vague.)

don't bother with ideology, focus on exercises

Hey star,
 The post is great.  That's what these forums are about.

 To my understanding, the easiest way to activate your brow chakra (third eye) would use NEW tecniques.  I would recommend activating all your chackra with NEW, then specifically focus on the brow; however, you don't have to.  Using NEW just on your brow, combined with meditation would work too.  Experiment with  this, you might find an easy way to activate your brow.  Just have fun with it.

Cheers,
bmw

Develop all chakras equally or you'll put yourself in hell.

What's your fixation on the third eye? Do not base your existence on a reliance on supernatural abilities. If you do, you will be nothing. It will make you pathetic. Find something first, fill the lower chakras, then when you are stable go forth.

[Sage Daedalus]

Be careful when trying to open the third eye. It has been my experience that most people experience many problems by attempting to force their third eye chakra to open before the rest of their lower chakras are adequately opened and activated. Exercise the energy body as a whole. You wouldn't want to just lift weights with one arm, or only strengthen one leg. Be patient, and be smart.

Are you sufficiently grounded to percieve that which is always there?  I mean that in a spiritual sense.  Because there is nothing quite like watching your fears manifest before you eyes     Thoughts=reality, even if you can't 'see' them.  Master yourself first, and your third eye will naturally follow, as well as the rest of your Chakra's.

Some ancient Sanskrit Text I once read says that "in the presence of a God or Saint, the Agna Chakra will open".  It this should ever happen to you -- you might only feel the slightest pressure in your forehead, then fix onto it and do not let it go.  Retain the pressure by continuing to meditate upon it.

Some Modern Systems have latched onto this phenomena as a Technique, whereby their Gurus use their touch or presence in order to open the new Initiates' chakras.    Check out these Organizations:

Of course, you might try INVOKING a God or Saint.  In dreams I know that AUM is useful for opening up the Agna Chakra.

As far as Saints to meditate upon, I've been lucky in that regard.... years ago I had a dream in which I was introduced to this Christ-like Avatar... he was a very young man who barely had the first few wiskers of a beard, but he looked at me with the most loving and ecstatic smile, and then a voice from Above announced "He went into the Wilderness and became One" and the Young Saint turned and walked out into the desert shrubbery, and as he went his Aura glowed and grew larger, and even penetrated into the ground at his feet and came up in every tree, bush and blade of grass.  So, whenever I come up short on something to meditate on, I think back to that young man looking at me.
