the following breathing pattern.
For this meditation, break up your inhalation into sixteen tiny sniffs, and with each sniff visualize a small silver hammer tapping the center of your forehead. Keep the sniffs very small so you can do sixteen to complete one inhalation. After you complete the inhalation, exhale in one breath and then repeat the pattern.
The number sixteen is associated with the center so it is important to control your breathing to allow for sixteen sniffs.
3. Alternate Nostril Breathing:
A third technique which can be used to activate this center is the method of alternate nostril breathing. To this meditation, following the breathing pattern below.
Close your right nostril and breathe in long, deep and slow through the left nostril. Also visualize the breath traveling in a straight line from the nostril to the center of the forehead. Then close the left nostril and exhale slowly through the right, this time visualizing the air leaving from the center of the forehead and out the nostril. Keeping the left nostril closed, now inhale through the right and then close the right and exhale through the left. All the time doing the visualization as well.
You can start with ten rounds initially and then build up from there. This is a very powerful technique and you should not overdo it initially. Make sure you are not doing more that you can handle comfortably at any time.
Summary:
So there you have three time tested, potent techniques for opening the all important third eye chakra. Once this center is open you will have the power to see the unseen and know the unknown.
