Clearing the Third Eye: Inner Senses
Our brain is the one of the most fascinating and misunderstood parts of our anatomy. It is the control center for the body and manages our logical and intuitive capabilities. According to cognitive science, there are two systems at work. Logic is System 2 (slow, deliberate, conscious) while Intuition is System 1 (fast, automatic, subconscious). We use Logic to verify what the intuition suspects, and we use intuition to navigate what logic cannot process fast enough.
The Third Eye is another term we use for our intuition and inner senses. There are multiple ways we can tune in and use our third eye. It acts as a sixth sense, through gut feelings, goosebumps, and deep insights. You gain clearer understanding of situations without relying only on logic. An active Third Eye cuts through confusion, overthinking, and illusion to perceive underlying truths. In philosophy and meditation, it bridges the inner self with the outer universe, guiding spiritual awareness and mindfulness. We all have the ability to have an active Third Eye.
The most important action we all can take is to not ignore the inner insights we receive. Most of us, when we receive a gut feeling or some intuition, what we do is we kind of ignore it, telling ourselves we are being silly. You can tell if the information is coming from your intuition or your logical mind by the emotions that you are expressing in the moment. If you are experiencing fear, anger, bias, or judgment, then you are not using your third eye. If you are experiencing love, curiosity, peace, or excitement, then you are using your Third Eye.
To strengthen your Third Eye:
1) Start with meditating for 5 minutes a day on stillness or silence.
2) Train yourself to ignore any thoughts of today or yesterday. This will shut down your conscious mind and help you to become more aware of your intuition.
3) Once you’re able to have no thoughts for 5 minutes and be at peace, then ask a question.
4) Allow yourself to stay in that space and to have an answer come to you.
5) Remember the emotions I mentioned above to determine if the answer is a Third Eye answer or not.
