Regular meditation will develop the most important psychic centre, the brow centre.
This is usually called 'the third eye'.
With enough practice, we can use the third eye to improve our lives.
There are seven main energy centres within the body. They are called 'chakras'.
This is the Sanskrit word for wheel, because they appear clairvoyantly as whirling vortices of light.
The chakras are situated in a line along the spine, starting with the root chakra, at the reproductive centre, the solar plexus at the naval, the heart, the throat, and the brow.
The highest centre at the crown of the head is called the thousand-petalled lotus.
As a person begins to evolve spiritually, the chakras started to open ane expand, from the lowest upwards. The expansion of the solar plexus gives increased sensititivty and intuition.
As the heart opens, we are able to give out and recieve greater love and compassion.
The expansion of the throat centre brings creative ability and self-expression, while the crown connects us with the higher dimensions of spirit and with god.
The third eye has always been linked with psychic and occult powers. Pictured as an eye in the middle of the forehead, its development gives the ability to see with the inner vision.
This emcompasses many things: clairvoyance, seeing spirits, remote viewing or seeing things in distant places, and forseeing the future.
At the highest level, it bewstows the gift of spiritual 'insight' and spiritual knowledge.
When you begin to see vivid pictures or colours during your meditation, this is a sign your third eye is developing.
All meditation practices stimulate the development of the third eye, particularly those which involve visualisation.
