Most Powerful Mantra for Opening the Third Eye Chakra

Not only Kundalini Yoga, but all of yoga is really based on the
seven chakra system. In this system there are seven chakra points
that lie along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head,
and each of these chakra points is responsible for the organs and
glands situation in it's region. The chakras, though, are
responsible for not just the organs and glands, but they are also
responsible for our various personality traits and characteristic.
Of these seven chakras, more of the most important and fascinating
is the Ajna chakra, or Third Eye.

Situated in the middle of brain directly behind the center of the

forehead, is the Third Eye chakra. This chakra governs the
pituitary glad, which is the master gland for the endocrine system
and strongly influences the functioning of the other endocrine
glands. The endocrine system is very key to your overall health,
thus, for optimum wellbeing, having the pituitary gland functioning
properly is of paramount importance. Opening, balancing and healing
the Ajna chakra, directly improves the functioning of this most
important gland.

In addition, the Third Eye is considered to be the seat of wisdom

and intuition. It allows us to see the unseen and know the unknown.
Opening this chakra allows you to develop your intuitive, psychic
nature. The more balanced and open this center is, the greater power
of intuition and insight you will have. So let's find out how to
activate this most important chakra point.

The most powerful method of opening the Third Eye chakra, is with
the use of the OM (AUM) mantra. Each chakra and a seed sound,
or bij mantra, which is a sound that that particular center
resonates with, and chanting that sound activates that center. For
the Ajna chakra, the seed sound is the AUM mantra. Chanting it
aloud, or just mentally is one of the best techniques for opening
this chakra. Here are two good methods for chanting this mantra.

In the first AUM mantra chanting technique, you should inhale

deeply and then make a long OOO sound, for about two thirds of the
breath. Then, for the last one third of the breath, make the sound
MMM.

Feel this sound emerging from the center of the forehead and
emanating outwards. In addition, have your eyes turned slightly
upwards as if you are trying to look through the center of the
forehead. This is called Shambhavi Mudra, and it further stimulates
the Third Eye.
The second technique for chanting the AUM mantra, does not require
you to even verbalize the sound. Instead, close your eyes and as you
inhale, feel the sound OOO entering through the center of your
forehead, and as you exhale feel the sound MMM leaving from the
center of your forehead. Repeat this meditation for as long as you
like, imagining the sounds entering and leaving. Again, you should
have your eyes turned slightly upwards, without strain, as if you
are looking through the center of the forehead.

Both of the techniques above are excellent mediation methods for

opening and balancing the Third Eye chakra. As I mentioned, opening
this center bestows numerous benefits, ranging from excellent
health, wisdom and even psychic powers. My only request is that you
use the powers you ascertain for helping yourself and other in your
spiritual evolution only. May the pure light within you guide you.
