Finding Your Balance
To avoid the chaos, you need to have an inner balance of mind. Create a place in your mind where you can escape for a few moments, and learn to relax there. For some of you, this may seem like an impossibility. If relaxing for you at this time is difficult, don't worry. As you progress through the book, you will learn how to find your balance.
You may already be familiar with the term “centering yourself.” Many situations in your life can keep you from being centered. You may be kept off balance by the people around you, the environment, or by psychic information when it pours through the unconscious mind. It is easy to be overwhelmed by all the stimuli, both external and internal. To help deal with life's uncertainties, you need to learn how to center yourself.
Connect with Your Third Eye
Your third eye is actually your pituitary gland. It is located in the center of your forehead, above your two other eyes. It secretes hormones that affect many of your bodily functions, including your growth and your metabolism. All three of your eyes together form the points of a triangle, a symbol that is found throughout ancient history, especially in the society of the pyramid builders. Perhaps they were aware of some lost ancient secret that helped them connect to the eye of the soul.
If for some reason you are uncomfortable about connecting to your third eye, don't feel that you have to try. All the exercises in this book are designed for you to have a positive experience. If at any time you are not comfortable, you may simply stop and return to a more positive feeling.
Focus Upward
An easy way to center yourself is to make a connection with your third eye. Those of you with a religious background may connect with your third eye when you pray. Another way to do it is through meditation. Another approach of connecting with your third eye is by doing the following exercise.
For a moment, look upward with your two physical eyes as if you were trying to see your third eye. If for some reason this is impossible or hard for you to do, that's okay; it is not actually necessary to move or see through your two eyes to experience this. You may keep your two eyes open or closed while you peek up under your eyelids. Some of you may want to squint slightly and feel your third eye.
When you try this, you may feel a slight pressure in your third eye. It may feel like it is swelling or even vibrating. You may have a feeling of warmth or coolness, or you may perceive a certain color. Whatever you experience is okay — it's also possible that you won't feel anything at all.
Each of you will connect to your third eye in a way that is natural and correct for you. Remember, there is no one else exactly like you. No one else will have the experience that you have when you communicate through your third eye.
Now Breathe
Now let's add something else to help you center when you connect to your third eye. You may want to take a moment and find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. If any of your clothing is tight, you may want to loosen it a little. It is not absolutely necessary, but it may help you to become a little more centered. When you have done this, you may allow yourself to feel a connection with your third eye.
For a moment, allow yourself to get comfortable with the sensations you are experiencing as you make this connection. When you're ready, take a deep breath at a level that feels right for you. It may not be easy for you to inhale deeply, and that's okay. What is important is for you to breathe at a pace that helps you strengthen the connection with your third eye.
Continue to breathe slowly for a few minutes. It doesn't matter whether you keep your eyes open or closed — whatever way feels right for you is correct. Your mind may just drift away. It may also be very active, with lots of thoughts suddenly popping up, or it may focus on one thing.
Some people get frustrated trying to learn to meditate. They are instructed to quiet their mind, but they find it impossible to do. If your mind is that way, don't worry about it; just breathe and focus on your third eye.
After you have experienced the results of this exercise for a length of time that is comfortable for you, you may take a deep breath. As you exhale, release the connection with your third eye and come back to the surface of your mind refreshed and relaxed. The more you practice this, the easier it will be to make a positive connection. Focusing on your third eye is a great way to begin connecting to your psychic mind.
