Opening the Third Eye – 3 Ways to Sense and See Powerful Soul Energy

Many people are interested in the concept of opening their Third Eye chakra.  Because then – they’ll be able to intuit everything!  Working with our chakras is more of a whole-body and mind training focus, as you will see from this post.  (Unless you’ve got your Third Eye open already – in which case you already know what I’m going to say).

How Do I Open My Third Eye?

Questions about opening the third eye and the Third Eye Chakra are incredibly common!

Most people think of an “open” Third Eye as the ability to see into the future or predict what’s coming.

In truth, your Third Eye may open easily, or it might take time. And it may not unfold the way you expect, because each of us carries a unique vibrational chakra pattern shaped by our Human Design.

So how can you open your Third Eye more easily, and what are the real benefits of doing so?

You Can’t “Order Up” a Third Eye Opening

Opening your Third Eye isn’t as simple as ordering a side of fries – if only it were that easy!

Learning to work with your Third Eye in a way that supports your spiritual evolution takes consistent practice and clear intention.

If your goal is purely to develop psychic perception, like seeing remote locations, you can learn a technique called Remote Viewing, which activates the Third Eye in a more technical, mental way.

However, it’s important to understand: remote viewing is a psychic practice, not a spiritual one.

Don’t Be a Third Eye Spy

Having trained in Remote Viewing myself, I don’t recommend using it in isolation.

There’s even a documentary about this work, Third Eye Spies, featuring Joe McMoneagle (one of my former teachers), and a team who used Remote Viewing for government intelligence work.

It’s fascinating, and it does show what incredible abilities we all have.

But using these gifts without clear or positive intention can lead to unintended consequences, even karmic ones.

One of the top remote viewers from that program died young under mysterious circumstances. That’s a sobering reminder: before opening your Third Eye, be clear about why you want to.

We can gain immense spiritual insight through Third Eye work, without accumulating heavy karma.

Spiritual Practice begins opening your Third Eye

To open your Third Eye safely and naturally, begin with regular spiritual practice—especially meditation, visualization, and gentle energy work.

These practices work best when aligned with your Divine Soul Blueprint and the energetic design unique to you.

You might also explore body-based energy arts such as Tai Chi or Kundalini Yoga.

Together, these modalities help activate not just the Third Eye, but all of your chakras, which is truly the key to awakening higher perception.

Intention Is Everything

Right intention protects you.

With clear spiritual intent, you can open your Third Eye without inviting confusion, imbalance, or karmic entanglement.

Consider starting a spiritual journal to record any visions, signs, or symbols that arise.

Your subconscious learns through repetition and attention; journaling teaches it to recognize the language of subtle energy.

Your body, too, is a sensitive, energetic instrument. It responds to any regular energy practice by refining its ability to sense, receive, and interpret vibration.

Common Third Eye Opening Symptoms

If you’re practicing regularly, you might notice signs that your Third Eye is beginning to awaken:

• Gentle vibrations or pressure in the forehead or crown
• Pulsing or tapping sensations between the eyebrows
• Sinus-like headaches
• Seeing a single eye when you close your eyes (your inner sight revealing itself)
• Lucid dreams
• Increased sensitivity to colors, lights, or auras
• Spontaneous inner visions with eyes open or closed

These are normal indicators that your energy system is activating.

Crown Chakra opening symptoms

Crown Chakra Connection

The Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra work in harmony. When one opens, the other often follows.

You might experience:

• Tingling sensations on the scalp
• Feeling pressure or the sense of wearing an invisible hat
• Expansion or pulsation above the head
• Seeing sparkles, white light, or orbs
• A sense of bliss, grace, or divine connection
• Heightened awareness of spiritual beings, Guides, or Ascended Masters
• High-pitched sounds during meditation or energy work

Ringing in the Ears? Your Ear Chakras Are Opening Too

Yes, we all have ear chakras!

When they activate, you may hear high-pitched tones or ringing in one ear or both. Sometimes the sound even switches sides.

This is often how energetic “downloads” from your Higher Self, Guides, or Teachers announce themselves.

Think of it like this:

You are the modem.

Your Higher Self is the broadband.

Your Soul is the data cloud.

(If you remember the old AOL dial-up tones, you’ll know exactly what I mean!)
