Don't be freaked out by it lol, the third eye is really always open to some extent, it would be unnatural if it wasn't. The idea of opening and closing the 3rd eye is really describing level of awareness and where it is at, and using it to shift consciousness to the "third eye level" to activate a higher consciousness. When we perceive from our third eye/pineal gland we are shifting gear in consciousness and it is not just about 'sight', but all the senses too.
I don't know if it helps to think about it this way, but it freed me from thinking that i had little control over it which seems to be a problem for a lot of us.
If you are serious about the third eye and it's potentials by all means research this, google will bring up loads on the subject and some key areas to include in your research is basic energy work/chakra work, learning to sense and feel your own space/energy field - all part of developing your over all awareness and scope to take control of your awareness, perceptions and self. Understand why this is so, if it is not clear then always ask questions. It's like body building and people often ignore at first that to have a well defined 'area', means developing all the supporting muscles sets too. That a strong core/frame is central to how everything operates. Only later do the ones with determination come back to this point, realising the issues of imbalances/stagnated growth. Developing the 3rd eye to max potential is no different.
Another thing that is good for training the third eye is making a game out of it and keeping it on the level of fun. Just about anything can be turned into a game for using this way of seeing. I like to project ahead of where i am walking too, like round a corner and 'see' what colour or model the next car will be to pass me. In the house, sit and practise moving around room to room with just your mental vision. See what your family are doing around you in another room, then go through and see if you had their placement/activity/clothes they are wearing right. Doing just the same as what you have been doing, but start moving room to room. Scan your house, scan around outside using the same method in allowing the image to fill itself in for you. Then the next step is to practice with time intervals, this is using the astral level. Try going 10 mins ahead, then 30 mins ahead, then 2 days ahead and so on. Say use the weather, "show me what the weather/temps will be like in 2 days time for my area" and then see if you are right. Pick things which are simple and straight forward to self validate and this will help build your confidence.
thanks, this totally helps a lot! =]
i have practiced before going to bed, its funny though, ive even thought it was just me openin my eyes again, but it isnt, one night i was starring at the ceilling, pretty sleepy, but verry awake still, just waiting for sleep to come by. and i closed my eyes and i saw my whole room appear again and i was like "why do my eyes feel closed though?" and i opened them and it looked the same way my room, just a diff color, it was the awesomest, wierdest thing ever though, that was the first time i noticed it full on. before that, i notice whenever the lights where off instead of trying to see around my room i would just close my eyes and it was more comfy this way to get around places. till i began to see stuff all sudden. and its not whenever i want either, i do practice that though.
jut thought id let you know how it began for me. and yes, im serious about it, i have looked into all of those things, i have much to learn im so, glad i came back to this forum with people who share my same feelings, my mom totally freaks out when itell her my stories, she has never AP'd so she thinks its all in my head and that theyre nightmares its hard having no one to relate to on this topic because it feels so REAL, so to me the experience is real, you just have to live it to know what is up! and if someone hasnt had it happen ever, i can understand how they thinks its a lie. theres so many feelings and experiences ive had that i wish i had someone to think it was normal haha ^ ^ i talk about it so whatever-ish and my mom will freak out when i tell her bout the times i got choked by some lady, but i faught back till she dissapeared or when i feel like im on the ceilling and im just stuck there cant move lol ^ ^
i guess im just happy to be back lol i had stayed away from AP for a while, everytime i felt a floating sensation id force myself to waje up, cus bad experiences, but im trying to be stronger now.
