One of the key ingredients facilitating a person’s spiritual evolution, as identified by the Kundalini Yoga principles, is in ensuring that his or her seat of intuition, the third eye chakra (also referred to as the ajna chakra), is open an balanced.

This chakras meditation technique employs the use of several Kundalini Yoga principles in the fulfilment of its goals. It harnesses the power of Pranayama (yoga breathing), mudras (eye and hand positioning), numerology, visualization, as well as concentration meditation in order to effectively open the third eye chakra.

In opting to employ the use of the third eye chakra meditation, you will be able to open your third eye; enhance your intuition and insight as well as your mental focus and willpower; gain inner peace; and boosts your psychic powers. An open third eye will also help improve one’s respiratory and visual systems.

Before you commit to the use of this particular meditation technique, know that you might find it initially challenging to accomplish. As it is complex, you will have to be patient and exercise tremendous willpower for you to master it fully.

That said, the steps for this particular meditation technique are:

• Sit on your heels in the rock pose, with your arms raised up and out to the sides on a 60̊ angle. If this position proves to be difficult for you, you may also opt for the sukh asanai pose, or just sit cross-legged.
• Draw yourself in and focus on the middle of your forehead, just above the brows.
• Begin to inhale in sixteen different stages and exhale in sixteen different stages as well. Hold this breathing pattern throughout the entire meditation. If the sixteen-part inhalation may prove difficult, you may begin from eight and go up from there.
• With each part of the inhalation, envision a small hammer lightly tapping the center of your forehead, where the third eye chakra is. You may begin this exercise starting at 1 minute, building up to 3, then 11 minutes later on. You can choose to extend from there, moving up to 31 minutes.
