Meditation - Opening the third eye : Excercise
This exercise can help you develop your third eye.
Don't persist in staring at the candle if your eyes become strained.
Step One
Find a candle in a colour you like.
White, gold and purple are good as they are spiritual colours.
The room should be dark.
Place the candle on the table about a metre away from you, slightly below eye level.
Light it and gaze steadily at the flame.
Calm your mind and steady your breathing.
Step Two
After a couple of minutes, close your eyes.
You will see the after image of the flame as a small point of white light in your mind's eye. The spot between the physical eyes.
Keep your attention fixed on this point of light.
Do not try to move, control or change it. Just observe.
Step Three
The light may appear to move upwards.
It might change colour.
Keep it in your inner vision for as long as you can.
You may be suprised how long the image remains, sometimes fading and then
reappearing again.
When it fades completly, open your eyes and look at the candle again.
Step Four
Repeat the procedure three times.
The last time, try to hold the after-image steady without wavering.
When you can no longer see it, keeping your eyes closed, continue to watch the space where it has been.
Be aware of any colours or pictures that may appear there.
