How do I see through my third eye

The third eye, or spiritual eye, is a chakra, or energy center. Ajna chakra is part of your energetic body in the way that an elbow or a spleen is a part of the physical body. It is generally in the region of the forehead and back a couple of inches.

Knowing the physical location of the chakras doesn’t usually help us to access them, however. The spiritual sight of the third eye is not (usually) visual. Instead, when the third eye chakra is open, the yogi has access to knowledge, guidance and an understanding of his/her own role in the grand scheme of things.

(How do the chakras help us understand our spiritual growth?)

Occasions when you’ve felt a particularly strong intuition are instances of seeing through your third eye. You might have felt certain that a situation that looked safe was actually dangerous to you; or you might have known that a risky choice that other people thought was crazy was the right one. Spiritual sight is not limited to intuition, but that is how most people first experience it.

The first step to accessing your third eye wisdom is to find a qualified teacher. Your teacher will help you learn to settle and focus your mind, usually though two types of meditation practices. One group of meditative practices teaches us to relax our minds and refrain from generating thought patterns. Another group of meditative practices teaches us to focus our attention.

As you gain mastery over your mind, you will spontaneously notice sensations that correspond to the flow of prana, or life force, energy in the energetic body. Your teacher will help you understand them.

Once you can sense the flow of energy, you can learn to direct it through specific meditative practices designed to, among other things, cleanse and purify the nadis (the channels through which energy flows in our bodies). You might think of this as the energetic version of brushing your teeth. Once prana is flowing freely in your system, you will be able to notice your spiritual sight more easily.

In time, a sincere and guided practice can awaken not only the third eye, but also bring harmony to the entire chakra system. The chakras are deeply interconnected, and while the Ajna chakra governs intuition and inner wisdom, the lower chakras provide the foundation that allows that insight to take root in everyday life. Without grounding and emotional stability, which are developed through working with the root and sacral chakras, for example, third eye experiences may feel disorienting or disconnected from practical life.

Spiritual growth is not a process of bypassing everyday reality, but of integrating deeper awareness into it. As we become more attuned to the chakras, we begin to notice subtle imbalances in ourselves before they manifest physically or emotionally. The energy centers serve as a kind of internal compass. When balanced, they guide us gently toward alignment with our higher purpose.

The third eye, specifically, plays a key role in this unfolding. It is not about seeing visions or gaining supernatural powers. Rather, it is about clarity—about seeing things as they truly are. This includes being able to witness your own thoughts, habits, and reactions without becoming entangled in them. It also includes recognizing the deeper lessons in the experiences life brings you.

The more you attune to the third eye, the more you cultivate discernment—the ability to know what serves your growth and what does not. Over time, your life becomes a reflection of that inner clarity. Choices become more effortless, as they arise from a deep knowing rather than confusion or fear.

The journey of awakening the third eye is a sacred one. It is not rushed. It unfolds over time with care, commitment, and the guidance of someone who has walked the path before you. Trust the process.

I don’t recommend finding chakra meditations online and trying them out without a teacher. You wouldn’t go to a pharmacy and prescribe yourself medication. Meditation, especially meditation designed to move energy, is strong medicine. Your needs are different from everyone else’s. Practice with an experienced teacher.
