I've been learning about this alot recently. It sparked my curiosity but listening to binaural beats hasn't done much for me. I heard that opening the third eye chakra will allow me to have abundant amount of lucid dream. I've never experienced a lucid dream before and I'm desperate to find alternative ways of achieving this. Any insights you have on this subject would be appreciated.
Opening your "third eye" is a much longer and more dedicated process than just something like binaural beats will easily induce. What is it that you have learned about this exactly? It's true that having this kind of experience can promote some extra awareness during normal consciousness and an increased sense of connection to or control over various aspects of your mind, both of which contribute positively to the lucid dreamer's quest. However, seeking to open your third eye as a way to induce lucids is really not the way to go about it.... One thing you'll quickly find is that the journey to get there is significantly more involved and complicated than the benefits you're hoping to gain from it. You're bound to find that you've gotten yourself into far more than your bargained for if you continue down this path with these kinds of goals in mind.
try looking at the area, as you fall asleep
There are many ways to activate your 6th chakra,the Ajna energy centre, commonly known as your 3rd eye.
Anatomically it manifests as the pineal gland,a small pea shaped organ in the centre of your brain,at the level of your eyebrows.
You can start with basics such as nutrition:
Avoid processed foods,bread,dairies and any form of meat.
Eat lots of leafy green vegetables and organic fresh produce (GMO free).
Don't drink tap water,it contains fluoride which calcifies your pineal gland.If possible fetch your tap water from a flowing mountain stream or somewhere in nature, away from the dampening energy of the city.
Use natural toothpastes that are flouride free.
From there, start some basic meditation:
Focus on the area in between your eyebrows and approximately 2 inches backward into your cranium (where the pineal gland lies), in a comfortable seated position.
When the mind drifts bring you attention lovingly back to the same spot.
Do this for 10 minutes first,then increase the time period incrementally.
Once your focus becomes stronger you can imagine a small 2 petaled dark blue/indigo flower with a hole on the middle of your eyebrows.
Imagine that your breath is flowing in and out through the centre of this flower,and you are inhaling white vibrant healing light and exhaling tension and negative emotions.
Feel this light emanate outward from this central point,illuminating the abyss of your brain/mind.
Again,when the mind drifts bring it back to the visualization.
The above outlined techniques you can use for starters.
If you want to get really deep you can start researching and practicing some of the Ancient Indian meditation arts such as Pranayama Kriyas, Kundalina Yoga,Tantra and various mantras.
You can also incorporate 6th chakra crystals into your meditations.
Some powerful ones are azurite, kyanite, falcons eye and lapis lasuli.
Use of any crystals should only be once you have cleansed their energies and programmed them using a strong intention.
It all depends on how deep you want to go and how far you want to pry your 3rd eye open.
This is an age old question,and you will not open it overnight.It could take an entire lifetime,if not many.
But if you are determined and persist in your practice you are bound to succeed.
Its all up to you.
