How to Open Your Third Eye

 The Third Eye
The third eye symbolizes an enlightened state of consciousness through which one can perceive the world in an almost supernatural way. Using your third eye doesn't mean becoming a psychic or developing magical powers, though. Instead, it means having greater control over your mind and emotions, and a deeper sense of intuition about the world around you. Unfortunately, you won't be able to make this shift overnight; you will need to devote your life to a spiritual practice that involves practicing mindful awareness on a daily basis. Read on to learn how.

Steps


Meditation Techniques



Part One: Learning How to Meditate

  1. 1
    Find the right environment. Choose a place that is relatively quiet and where you can be alone for at least 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be completely silent, but try to find a place where you will not be overly distracted.
  2. 2
    Get into a meditative posture. Sit on the ground with your legs crossed, your back straight, and your hands resting on your knees. If sitting on the ground is uncomfortable for you, then sit in a chair with your back straight.
    • Use your abdominal muscles to support your upper body, and don't let your back slouch over. Point your chest out and keep your shoulders down.
  3. 3
    Relax your body. Every human being holds tension in his or her body when going about daily life, which can make focusing extremely difficult. You may not even recognize how tense your muscles are until you make a conscious effort to relax them. Allow your shoulders to drop, let your neck muscles release, and roll your head from side to side to help loosen up.
  4. 4
    Relax your mind. This is perhaps the most essential part of opening up your third eye, and the most challenging, because you will need to clear your head of any and all thoughts. Do this by focusing all of your attention on an aspect of the physical world, whether it is your breath going in and out, the sound of cars driving past outside, or the sensation of the ground underneath you.
    • It's impossible to avoid thoughts entirely. If a thought does arise, simply acknowledge it, label it "thought" and allow it to disappear in your mind's eye.
    • It will take a great deal of practice and patience for you to be able to effectively clear your thoughts. Oftentimes, people have difficulty in the first 10-15 minutes of meditation, as their minds are still rambling from the chaos of everyday life. Give yourself some time to transition from the outside world to your meditative state.
  5. 5
    Get in the habit of meditating every day. Think of meditating as you do brushing your teeth; the more often you do it, the more effective it will be. Even if you only meditate for 3-5 minutes a day, you will slowly train yourself to become more mindfully aware over time.
    • You might want to set a timer for yourself while you meditate so that you don't spend the entire time wondering how much longer you should sit.

Part Two: Opening Up Your Intuitive Side

  1. 1
    Observe the world around you. Many people who describe themselves as "wallflowers" also believe that they have a more intuitive understanding of the world than the average person, and they may be right. This is because these types of people tend to spend a great deal of time observing other people, and in doing so develop a greater understanding of things like body language, facial expressions, and other non-explicit types of communication. This allows them to better detect lies, sarcasm, sexual chemistry, and other hidden messages.
    • Try going out to a public place like a park, restaurant, or cafĂ© by yourself and just observe other people. Without being rude or overbearing, listen in on other peoples' conversations. Try to come up with a story in your head about how these people know each other, the context of their conversation, and any other information about them. The more you do this, the better you will get at it.
    • The next time you are sitting around a table with family or friends, be quiet for a little while and just listen to the conversation. Watch people who aren't speaking, and see how they react to the interaction that is going on. Try to imagine what people are thinking even when they are not speaking. Again, the more you do this, the better you will become at it.
  2. 2
    Pay attention to your dreams. Many people with psychic powers believe that certain dreams can serve as premonitions. Before you can start analyzing your dreams, though, you will need to start logging them and keeping track of them. The best way to do this is to start a dream diary, and keep it by your bedside so that you write down your dreams immediately after waking up.
    • Keep your dreams in mind and try to notice connections, if any, between your dreams and your daily life. See if anything you dreamt of in the last couple of days or weeks has come true in real life.
  3. 3
    Listen to your gut instincts. Have you ever had a peculiar feeling about a person, place, or event that you couldn't explain? Have you ever had a strange inkling that a certain event might take place, without any solid evidence to support it? These types of feelings are called gut instincts, and everybody has them. Unfortunately, many people tend to overlook their instincts and choose instead to over-rationalize their lives. The next time you have one of these feelings, write it down and see if it turns out to be true. Try to notice how these gut feelings connect to your life.

    • Remember that just because you have a gut feeling, doesn't necessarily mean that it is true. Contrastingly, if it is true, it may not unfold in real life for days, months, or even years. The best way to know for sure is to write these feelings down when you get them and to go back and read them occasionally.

Friend rental service

Friend rental service
We all grew up being someone's friend, but we never got paid for it. Well, today is an entirely different era. You can now get paid for being a friend. All you have to do is create your profile in RentAFriend.com, set your hourly rate, and wait for somebody who is interested in hanging out with you. It's a win-win situation right there.

Rent A Friend allows you to create a free friendship profile, where you can charge up to $50 an hour to be rented for social events and activities such as weddings, sporting events, concerts, movies, operas, hiking, biking and dining.

Site owner Scott Rosenbaum got the idea from dating sites. He noticed that nobody was offering mere friendship and he wanted to "go a step back" from dating sites. Therefore, this is a strictly platonic website.

Advertisers can pay for them to do several stunts, such as skydiving or plunging into cold water. All this is put up on the website, along with the name of the day's advertiser.

Virtual real estate

Virtual real estate
Anshe Chung, or rather her real-life counterpart, Ailin Graef, has gained attention as the first person to reportedly become a real-world millionaire from her virtual-world business.

How'd she do it? She bought, developed and sold virtual real estate. While much of her wealth is still tied up in Second Life's currency, Linden dollars, those can be sold for genuine U.S. dollars. Graef reportedly makes upward of $150,000 annually.

Anshe Chung's achievement is all the more remarkable because the fortune was developed over a period of two and a half years from an initial investment of $9.95 for a Second Life account by Anshe's creator, Ailin Graef. Anshe/Ailin achieved her fortune by beginning with small scale purchases of virtual real estate which she then subdivided and developed with landscaping and themed architectural builds for rental and resale. Her operations have since grown to include the development and sale of properties for large scale real world corporations, and have led to a real life “spin off” corporation called Anshe Chung Studios, which develops immersive 3D environments for applications ranging from education to business conferencing and product prototyping.

Selling Irish dirt

Selling Irish dirt
Alan Jenkins, a Belfast entrepreneur, and Pat Burke, an agricultural scientist from Tipperary, have already shifted around $1m (£512,000) of Irish muck to the United States.

Their company, called Official Irish Dirt, has also received online contacts from Irish people all over the world who are keen to get their hands on dirt from back home.

It was Jenkins who came up with the idea. During a visit to see friends in Florida he heard some Irish-Americans at a meeting of the Sons of Erin, a community organization for people with Irish ancestry, saying they would like to have some Irish sod placed on their funeral caskets. Soon afterward he met Burke, who worked at the Irish Department of Agriculture, at a dinner party and the business grew from there.

Since Auld Sod's Web site, officialirishdirt.com, went online, Burke says he has shipped roughly $2 million worth to the United States, where about 40 million people claim Irish ancestry, and Enterprise Ireland estimates annual sales of Irish gifts at more than $200 million.

Socks subscription

Socks subscription
An entrepreneur from Switzerland named Samuel Liechti had a crazy idea to start a company that would distribute socks to subscribers several times throughout the year. For nine pairs, each “sockscriber” pays a minimum of $89 annually to keep the socks rolling in. Surprisingly enough, there is an immense amount of people who are too lazy to grab a pair of calf-high socks at the store and subscribe to this silly service.

Each new "sockscriber" receives a calculation of how much time he will save by not making sock purchases: about 12 hours every year, or three weeks in the lifetime of an average Swiss male, which is estimated at 82 years. Liechti brought his "sock-scription" service to the U.S. in 2005. Two years later BlackSocks began selling subscriptions for underwear. Liechti now boasts 60,000 active customers in 74 countries. BlackSocks opened a New York office last year.

The married man who created an affair website for married people

The married man who created an affair website for married people
Ashleymadison.com is a dating website with a difference; it only accepts married people, or someone wanting to date a married person. The site's slogan is "Life is short. Have an affair". The site founder is a former attorney Noel Biderman, who is interestingly a happily married man. Although his mission can be perceived as very wrong (for the record: cheating is bad!), the fact that the site claims 3.2 million members suggests that it's also doing something right.

The man who created a million dollar business of dog poop-scooping

The man who created a million dollar business of dog poop-scooping
The most noted pioneer in the poop-scooping business is Matthew Osborn, who runs Pooper-Scooper.com. He never knew that this business would one day make him a millionaire. Osborn got started back in 1987 when he opened Pet Butler in Columbus, Ohio. At the time, Osborn was working two full-time jobs and making less than $6 per hour at each. He had a wife, a daughter and a son on the way, and was desperate to make some extra money. He learned that there were about 100,000 dogs within 15 miles of his home. The business slowly took off, and despite the dirty work, Osborn says he enjoyed satisfying the customers and working outdoors in some of the nicest backyards in Ohio. Eventually Osborn employed seven people and owned a fleet of six trucks serving about 700 regular customers. While Osborn may have put poop scooping on the map, Matt "Red" Boswell is taking it into the future. Boswell owns the Texas-based Pet Butler. Today, Pet Butler is the largest pet waste removal service in the country, and serves about 3,000 clients. (Link | Via)

The monks who sell over 2,5 million in printer cartridge
Father Bernard McCoy is CEO of LaserMonks.com, an Internet retailer that sells discounted printer cartridges and other office supplies. Customers include individuals and churches, along with giants such as Morgan Stanley (Research) and the U.S. Forest Service. It's a lucrative business. Sales have risen from $2,000 in 2002, the company's first full year of operation, to around $2.5 million in 2005. The idea for LaserMonks.com came to Father McCoy one day when his printer ran out of ink. He shopped around for a new ink cartridge but couldn't find one that was reasonably priced. In the beginning LaserMonks.com consisted of a few monks sitting around with black powder and empty plastic cartridges, filling a few orders a day. Today the monks say they have served more than 50,000 customers, and they process 200 to 300 daily orders for a broad range of school and office supplies. (Link | Via)
