The third eye is an esoteric concept that was first used in the Dharmic Spiritual traditions of India, being later mentioned in Buddhism and Hinduism as a key component of our energetic bodies.
The Third Eye is said to be a gateway between human beings and the spiritual realm, which, when opened, gives access to a state of higher consciousness.
It is located in the Ajna Chakra (also known as “The Brow Chakra”) which is situated in the middle of the forehead.
People whose Third Eye has opened are known as “seers”, due to the fact that they are able to see the subtle plans of reality, observing auras, chakras, and spiritual entities around us.
The Third eye governs certain organs such as the Pineal Gland, the base of the brain, and third ventricle, and it also facilitates spiritual insights and the distribution of Prana (Divine Energy) in the other parts of the body.
It is said that an open Third Eye will make the person wiser and more in tune with the Universe’s plan, as well as increase intuition, telepathic and psychic abilities.
The Third Eye usually opens when the person is ready to step onto his or her spiritual path, and trust me, the Universe has a plan for this moment.
Everything happens exactly at the right time.
Have you been experiencing any funny changes in your body and in the way you perceive life lately?
Take a look at these 11 signs that your Third Eye is opening in order to be aware if this is happening to you.
Sign #1: Frequent lucid and vivid dreams
Your dreams will become more clear than ever and they will contain messages from your Angels and Spirit Guides.
These dreams will can be about certain events from the past that need to be resolved and emotional pains that need to be healed in order for you to more forward, or messages about what the future holds in store for you.
Either way, it is best to take action after each dream.
When an unresolved problem comes up try to meditate upon it, see how it makes you feel, who you need to forgive or what conversations you need to have in order to resolve it.
When your dream is about people you are going to meet or about events that are going to happen, try to facilitate those events by going in the indicated places or look for the indicated person.
Sign #2: You become more conscious of what you are eating
Conscious eating is a sign of the third eye opening
Food is energy and it has a certain vibration and information attached to it.
When your Third Eye is opening, you become more sensitive to these vibrations.
Your body will go through a process of rebalancing and readjusting its’ vibration. Therefore, there will appear sudden changes in the way you are eating.
For example, you may struggle with eating meat, as you might feel the fear and pain that the animal felt before being killed.
Another change that can occur is that you might feel the need to eat more natural, non-processed food.
You can resort to growing your own vegetables or buying them from a farmer rather than from a supermarket.
This will be your body’s way of filtering out foods that cause damage to your body on a physical and energetic level, while forcing you to choose foods that nourish you and raise your vibration.
Sign #3: You start noticing all the synchronicities in your life
Even though synchronicities have always been a part of our lives, they might be hard to spot for a person who is not spiritually awakened.
Often they are just interpreted as mere coincidences.
But when your third eye is opening, you will understand that there is no such thing as coincidences, because the Universe always has a plan that will unfold in a certain way.
You start understanding that certain people appear in your life or certain events happen exactly at the right time in order to guide you on your spiritual path.
Once you have commenced your spiritual journey, you will be aware of these synchronicities and you will understand their meaning.
Synchronicities are meant to give you a deeper understanding of life and show you that everything happens in accordance with the divine plan and for your greater good.
Sign #4: Increased light and sound sensitivity
Once your Third Eye has started to open, you become more sensitive to lights and sounds.
Therefore, you might have to avoid places with very loud music or very bright lights because you might have a hard time tolerating them.
Also, you might see some colors appearing brighter than before or you will be able to see a broader range of colors than you were ever able to see.
This is due to the fact that your consciousness is expanding and you are able to see more both in the physical and spiritual realm.
Sign #5: Seeing lights, geometric shapes, and patterns when your eyes are closed
If you close your eyes and look upwards, you are most likely to see powerful lights and all sorts of geometric shapes and intricate patterns.
The most common colors people see are blue, indigo and white.
These lights and images will change constantly and new, fascinating patterns will appear, usually preventing you from falling asleep easily.
You might get distracted watching them or they might just impair your ability to fall asleep because the human brain needs darkness in order to disconnect from the state of wakefulness.
Sign #6: Seeking a higher life purpose
With all the synchronicities that you start to notice and increased intuition, telepathic and clairvoyant abilities, you also begin to feel the need for a more meaningful life.
You will suddenly feel the urge to create a life in which you are connected to your highest purpose.
All souls are incarnated on earth with a divine mission, and the older the soul, the higher the calling.
Only very old souls will experience the opening of their Third Eye in their present life.
The fact that your Third Eye is opening is also a sign that you shouldn’t ignore your true calling and your divine mission anymore, and your whole being will prompt you to start making changes.
Therefore, you will try to establish more meaningful relationships and will feel the urge the devote your time to what really matters to you.
For example, if you had always felt that your real calling is to be a writer, now you will feel the urge to finally take action in that direction.
You will be drawn to activities and jobs through which you can have a positive impact on society and make a real change, whether that implies changing your career or devoting your spare time to helping those less fortunate.
