Ajna chakra: discovery
If you are thinking about how to open the ajna chakra, first start a small test. You will need a second person. The process is simple: the examiner puts the thumbs of the subject above the eyebrows in such a way that they form the second row of eyebrows. The other fingers are spread out on the sides so that the little fingers lie behind the holes in the ears. The forehead is stroked along the eyebrows from the middle. If a subject has visions, he is ready to activate the ajna chakra. If not, it will be necessary to work long and hard on the techniques.
It is better to start the chakra opening at night or in the evening - the morning is not suitable for this. Daily lessons should be given 20 minutes. So, your actions:
Working out the area of the third eye
Take a comfortable pose, preferably a lotus. Your face must look to the north or east. Rub the area of the third eye with the bone of the second joint of the right thumb with simple movements up and down.
Technique of breathing
All 20 minutes you need to control your breathing. First, learn it, and notice already start everything else. It is necessary to inhale and exhale the same long time. For convenience, imagine a pendulum, evenly moving in both directions. Time is not important, but the breath should be deep and convenient for you, as well as exhalation.
When you have mastered this simple technique, learn and more difficult. The task is to get a continuous method of breathing, smoothing the transitions from inspiration to exhalation and back again. It is important to have the highest degree of concentration.
Relaxation
Relax your face, eyes and all parts of your body consistently. This will cause the flow of blood to the head and will give a feeling of pulsation in the area of the third eye.
Eye position
The eyes should be closed and pointing upwards, as if from the inside you are looking at the massaged and pulsating point. Soon you must see visions - do not look for meaning in them. If you want to get out of this state, change the position of the body.
Opening the third eye is quite dangerous. Together with clairaudience and clairvoyance, you will begin to feel all the pain and injustice of the modern world, and not everyone is able to bear this cross.
