How to Open the Third Eye? | Sadhguru Answers?

Opening the third eye is like turning on a light switch inside your head that lets you see more than just what’s in front of you.

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek. You can only see what's right in front of you, but if you had a special pair of glasses, you could also see behind walls or through closed doors. That’s kind of like having your third eye open, it helps you see more clearly, even things that are hidden.

Sadhguru says we can train our brain to do this by sitting quietly and focusing on the space between our eyebrows, it's like the middle of your forehead. Think about it as a tiny door waiting to be opened.

How It Feels

When you practice this regularly, it’s like your brain is getting used to looking in new directions, not just up, down, or sideways, but inward. You might feel calm or even a bit sleepy at first, like after a long nap. That’s normal, your brain is learning something new!

So, the more you practice, the easier it becomes to see with your third eye, just like how you get better at riding a bike the more you ride it.
