How to Open Your Third Eye
Whether you’re an aspiring psychic or just a curious browser, if you’re reading this article you want to know how to open your third eye. It seems so impossible. From what you find online you either have to spend a few years in constant meditation, or fall asleep listening to binaural beats. A lot of people will spend years (and hundreds of dollars) trying to achieve this simple task. I’m here to break down the process as simply as I can to make it easier for you.
Meditation
Yep, I just made fun of meditation in the opening paragraph and yet here I am saying this is the first step. But meditation does play a crucial role in opening your 3rd eye. It’s not so much an issue of trying to reach a oneness with the Universe, or achieving enlightenment. Those are very noble goals, and if that’s what you desire then I wish you the best of luck, but our goal is to get that third eye open and functioning. So we’re not going to use meditation for the more spiritual side of things, we’re just using it to train ourselves.
You see, a big part of accessing our psychic mind is being able to tune out the world around us and quiet our minds. We need to be able to enter into a trance state where we slow our brainwaves down and are open to our psychic senses. Meditation helps us not only achieve this desired trance, but with enough practice you can enter it quickly. This means that you can enter a trance and access your third eye within a minute or 2 instead of 10 to 15. Personally, I like to do chakra meditations, but you can do any kind that feels right to you. When you reach that point of perfect mental tranquility try holding it for as long as you can. That might only be 5 minutes in the beginning, and that’s fine, this is a process. Next time shoot for 6 minutes and build yourself up bit by bit. One important thing is to congratulate yourself for a job well done, cause meditating isn’t easy!

Trusting Your Intuition
Your third eye is your source of your intuition, so if you want it to strengthen and grow you need to be using it! I don’t care if you want to be able to see spirits, see the future, or astral travel to other worlds, your intuition is the key.
So, how do you open your third eye by trusting your intuition? By practicing it! Get a deck of tarot cards and learn to use them. But don’t just read the meaning of the cards and leave it at that, try to feel out what the cards are saying to you. How do they build on one another to tell a story? For example, if you pull 3 cards for past, present and future, ask yourself “How does the past card affect the present?”. What about the future? Does the past or present card have anything that can hinder the future card from coming to fruition? If so, pull another card for the solution. The more info you’re able to gather from the cards the more you’re working out your intuition to supply the answers. There’s also a psychological effect here, you have the intention of using your intuition when you’re doing a tarot reading, so you’re essentially telling your brain that you want to use your intuition to gather information. This means you’re also telling your brain you want to use your third eye!
Of course tarot is just one example. You can also use Runes, Oracle cards, Astrology, Palm reading, or even tea leaves! There’s countless ways to do divination, find one that feels right to you and learn it!
As a side note be sure to combine your meditation and divination. Getting into a trance state right before practicing your tarot (or whatever you choose) can really make a huge difference. You’ll probably notice your intuition is a lot clearer when reading the cards with a calm mind. And as an added bonus, you’ll be training yourself to maintain a trance while doing other things. This is an important skill if you want to seriously pursue being a psychic.
Visualization
Ok, I need to tell you a little story from my past before I cover this next section. Years ago when I was first starting out I had a friend who was already psychic. He listened to me moan and groan about my third eye not being open for a while before letting me in on a little secret. He told me that my third eye was already open, I just wasn’t using it.
I kept expecting to see spirits the same way I saw him. That’s the way it is in the movies right? And maybe for some people that’s reality, but for the rest of us not so much. He explained that the third eye “sees” by painting us a picture on our imagination. Yeah, I was taken aback at this comment as well. I thought it was his way of telling me that it was all made up and imaginary. But he gave me a challenge. He told me to visualize myself in an empty room, and to invite a spirit to join me. It could be a guardian angel, ghost, spirit guide, whatever. And just wait to see what happens. So, I tried. I meditated for a while until I was in a trance and then visualized myself in an empty room. I made it real, as real as I could. So real that I could feel my visualized body as if it were my own (I was sitting but felt like I was standing). Then, I asked a spirit to join me. And one did. I saw it as plain as anything in my mind. And then I got too excited and ruined it. My mind started racing and I couldn’t keep it calm enough to let my intuition flow. But I had done it.
Since then I’ve learned to astral travel, to “hear” spirits, and even see their vague shapes with my eye’s open on occasion. And it all started with an intense visualization exercise, because like my friend had told me, our imagination acts as a canvas that our intuition paints on.
So How Do You Open Your Third Eye?
You practice, you meditate and develop your intuition and learn to trust it. And if your goal is to see spirits you don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild a little bit.
