Kundalini Yoga for the Third Eye

Section I: Introduction to the Third Eye

Today I will guide you on how to unlock your third eye. I will give you certain perspectives, and at the same time, techniques that you can apply daily to bring your third eye into awakening. These practices will not only open your third eye but will also strengthen its powers.

Through the unlocking of the third eye, you gain access to intuitive powers. You begin to experience your inner GPS, the inner compass that guides you toward right action and truth. You begin to recognize what is the correct decision in life. If your third eye is open, you also gain access to psychic abilities. If you are already enlightened but your third eye is blocked, you must do these techniques so that you can begin to receive powers once again.

The third eye is connected to higher perception. This practice is required not only for beginners but also for my advanced students—those who are already enlightened, or even beyond enlightenment, yet find themselves stuck because of chakra blockages or hidden karmic reasons.

So, practice the techniques I share here. Wherever you are in your journey, they will help you. If you are a beginner, these practices will raise your brain power, improve your cognitive functions, expand your attention span, increase focus and concentration, and bring countless other benefits. Listing all the benefits would take unlimited time, and you may grow tired of reading them, but I assure you they are immense.

If you want to go further, you can join me in the Life Project. In this one-year journey, you will learn to unlock not only the third eye but all your chakras. You will learn to transform your life fully, to live in freedom, to discover your true purpose.

Be free. Be powerful. Be in flow. Live your life purpose.

The third eye chakra is a center for higher consciousness. Kundalini Yoga for the third eye is not meant for those at a lower stage of evolution. If you have not yet worked on your lower chakras, my advice is to begin there first. Focusing only on the third eye without opening the base levels of your being will not yield results.

In this discourse, I will first explain the problems you face when your third eye is blocked. Then, I will share the symptoms you may experience, both physical and energetic. Finally, I will guide you step by step through techniques to remove these blockages so that you can access your true powers.

Before we move further, pause for a moment. Place your awareness in the middle of your forehead, slightly above the space between the eyebrows. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply and gently. Can you feel a subtle pressure? A tingling? A sense of being observed from within? This is the doorway of the third eye. This is the point through which your awareness can pierce the veil of ordinary perception.

The third eye, also called ajna chakra, is not merely a poetic symbol. It is a living gateway. When open, it allows you to perceive subtle energies, read the vibrations of people and places, and connect with higher intelligence. But when blocked, it clouds vision, drains vitality, and entraps you in collective patterns of the mind.

Section II: Why the Third Eye Gets Blocked and Its Symptoms

Why the Third Eye Gets Blocked

Why does the third eye become blocked?

Because you are living too much in the mind. You are caught in patterns of thought, conditioned beliefs, and unconscious identification with your environment. You become trapped by circumstances and forget your own identity.

You run with the collective mind. No thought is truly yours. You simply follow the life lived by other people and become a clone, a robot repeating borrowed patterns.

For example: you are told you must take birth, receive education, get a job, marry, give birth to children, and eventually die. This is the story of the matrix. The script may vary slightly from individual to individual, but overall, it is the same. And this is not your life.

Your third eye remains blocked as long as you follow society blindly—what the matrix tells you, what parents and traditions expect of you. Without individuality, without inner freedom, the third eye cannot open.

The third eye gets blocked when you live only through thought. The mind loves repetition. It thrives on habits and borrowed beliefs. Each time you conform to the collective story without listening to your heart, a layer of dust covers the third eye. Over years, the dust becomes stone. You no longer see life freshly. You see through inherited patterns, and the window to intuition closes.

Another reason for blockage is fear. Many are subconsciously afraid of their own power. The third eye, when open, dissolves the ego’s control. People cling to the small security of a patterned life rather than open to the vastness of spiritual vision. Fear contracts energy, and contraction leads to energetic blocks.

Symptoms of a Blocked Third Eye

So what happens when your third eye is blocked? What signs can you observe?

  1. Eye Problems – Because the third eye is located in the forehead region, blockages here affect blood circulation. This leads to problems with your eyesight. Glasses, strain, or blurred vision often indicate this energetic imbalance.
  2. Headaches and Migraines – The brain is in this region. You may experience constant headaches, migraines, or a heavy sensation when the third eye is blocked.
  3. Neurological Disorders – Many people with a blocked third eye are diagnosed as psychiatric or neurological cases. Bipolar disorder, multiple sclerosis, brain fog, Alzheimer’s, dementia—these can all appear as extensions of the imbalance.
  4. Mental Health Issues – Depression, anxiety, stress, and tension become constant. The sympathetic nervous system remains switched on. You live in survival mode—fight, flight, or freeze—with no rest for the body or mind.
  5. Loss of Life Energy – If your third eye is blocked, your life itself feels blocked. You have no vision of the future. You only breathe, but vitality is absent.
  6. Indecisiveness and Confusion – A blocked third eye clouds inner vision. You cannot sense what is truly right for you. You keep oscillating between choices, doubting your path.
  7. Disconnection from Intuition – Intuition is the natural voice of the soul. When blocked, you feel cut off from inner guidance. You must constantly rely on others to tell you what to do.

These are not small matters. Yet, what do most people do? They treat symptoms. They take pills for migraines, wear glasses for weak eyesight, or take medication for depression. But they never uproot the cause.

The cause lies in the energy body, in the blocked third eye. Unless you remove the root blockage, the symptoms will continue in one form or another.

Pause again. Place your hand lightly over the forehead. Close your eyes. Notice—does this area feel tense, heavy, numb? That is a sign of energy not flowing. Awareness itself begins the healing.

Section III: Techniques for Unlocking and Strengthening the Third Eye

Now let us move into solutions.

I will give you both perspectives and techniques. First, you must understand the right way of living, because your lifestyle itself determines whether the third eye can open. Then I will give you practices you can begin today.

Perspective: Follow Your Inner GPS

Begin living your life from the inside. Follow your inner GPS, the voice of your soul.

Do not act from the mind. From the moment you wake in the morning until the moment you fall asleep, act only from what you feel you must do. Do not follow thoughts, obligations, or fears. Follow the vibration in your body.

When your third eye is blocked, you will feel congestion in your gut, heaviness in your head, and fog in your mind. Indecisiveness becomes your constant companion. The cure is to begin acting from the heart. If your heart is open, if you do what you feel, you will gradually find powers awakening within you.

You will receive signals through your third eye: where to go next, what to do, what not to do.

First Technique: Train the Right Brain Through the Left Hand

The first practical step is to start using your left hand.

By using the left hand in daily tasks, you activate the right hemisphere of your brain. The right brain is the seat of creativity, intuition, and feeling. When the right brain awakens, the third eye begins to awaken.

Since childhood, most of us use the right hand, which strengthens the left brain—the logical, analytical mind. This is useful for society, for learning skills and technology, but it weakens the intuitive, primitive, spiritual brain.

So, deliberately train yourself. Use your left hand to pick up your phone. Try typing with the left hand. Write with your left hand. Brush your teeth with the left hand. Fold cloth with the left hand.

At first, you will notice it is difficult. With the right hand, actions flow automatically because neural pathways are established. With the left hand, you must become conscious of every movement. This conscious effort activates new pathways in the brain, awakens awareness, and slowly strengthens the right brain.

The benefit is not just improved brain power, but also a gradual opening of your third eye.

Second Technique: Trataka – Gazing at the Flame

The second technique is an ancient yogic practice—trataka, or flame gazing.

Take a diya or lamp with a steady flame. Fire is a powerful element; it awakens many chakras. Place the lamp on a stable surface at eye level.

Sit comfortably, spine straight. Begin gazing at the flame. Breathe deeply into your belly. Each time thoughts arise, gently dismiss them and return your gaze to the flame.

Do this for 10 to 20 minutes daily.

At first your eyes may water or tire. This is natural. Over time, your concentration deepens. As you gaze, the fire element within you awakens. Your heart opens if flowers are placed nearby, your energy channels clear, and your third eye begins to shine.

Trataka brings sudden shifts. You may feel divine energy playing in you, as though light is entering your being. When the third eye opens, it opens pathways for all the other chakras as well.

The third eye is like a tunnel stretching across lifetimes. When it opens, you gain access to the future. You develop vision, intuition, and higher guidance.

Third Technique: Awareness of Breath in the Forehead

Another powerful practice is to bring awareness of breath into the forehead. Each time you inhale, imagine the breath flowing directly into the third eye center. With each exhale, release tension, fear, and clouded thoughts. Ten minutes of this daily begins to soften and awaken the ajna chakra.

Closing

If your third eye is blocked, your life is blocked. But if your third eye opens, everything opens. Flow returns. Vision awakens. Power comes alive.

To live with an open third eye is to live in harmony with both the seen and the unseen. You act with clarity. You sense the direction of life’s current and move with it rather than against it. You are no longer a victim of confusion but a master of insight.

If you wish to know your future, you can even use my clairvoyant powers. I can diagnose and guide you forward. But the practices I have shared here are enough to begin.

Practice daily. Be consistent. These small steps will open the greatest doorway in your life.

I will keep guiding you always.

Have a great day, and see you soon with the next chakra.
