Steps

Part 1 of 3: Learn Zen

1. 

   Locate the third eye chakra. The chakras are the energy centers in your body. It's basically the energy wheel that is arranged along the spine. Our bodies have seven chakras corresponding to each different part of our physical, mental and spiritual life. Your third eye chakra is the sixth chakra.
   • The third eye chakra is at the top of the brain, between the eyes and just above your nose.
   • While meditating, try to focus your mind on this chakra. It is meant to help you see the world more clearly.

2. 

   
   
   Choose the right scene. Meditation is one of the most effective tools to help you open your third eye. By raising your awareness in your thoughts, you will be able to approach the mental clarity associated with the third eye. The core goal of meditation is to place the mind on a thought or object. It is important to choose a comfortable surroundings when starting to meditate.
   • Some people feel more peaceful and more open when immersed in nature. If appropriate, you can choose a meditation position outdoors. Find a space that is the right temperature and will not be disturbed by others.
   • Indoor meditation also works well. Many people design their indoor meditation spaces that include comfortable cushions for sitting on the floor, candles and soft music.
   • Remember that meditation is a private process. So you should choose a scene that suits you.

3. 

   
   
   Prepare your posture. Mind-body connection plays an important role in meditation. The more comfortable you feel, the easier it is to focus on the meditative object or thought. The most effective meditation posture is usually some variation of sitting cross-legged on the ground.
   • If you are used to sitting in a chair, take some time to practice sitting on the floor. Over time, you will feel more natural and easier to focus on your meditation.
   • Most people use at least one cushion to make sitting on the ground more comfortable. You can insert two or three more pads if that feels more suitable.
   • If you can't sit comfortably, don't worry. You can take another form called walking meditation. For some people, the rhythmic sound of their footsteps is quite gentle. You can walk slowly, with a clear route so you do not have to think too much about the destination.

4. 

   
   
   Choose a meditation object. The object of meditation can be thought or material. The bottom line in this selection is to make it easier for the brain to focus. This step prevents you from thinking wildly and makes the meditation process more effective.
   • Candles are a popular meditation object. Flickering flames are usually easy to see and bring comfort to many people.
   • Your meditative object is not necessarily intimate matter. You can picture a blue ocean or a beautiful tree you've ever seen. Just make sure you can clearly see the subject with your mind's eye.

5. 

   Choose your spell. It could be a word or phrase that you will repeat during your meditation. You can say mantras small or large - depending on personal preference. This mantra is personal and meaningful to you.
   • A mantra is something you want to attach to your mind, or awareness. For example, you can repeat the mantra "I choose happiness". This will help reinforce the idea that you will focus on having fun throughout the day.
   • Another mantra idea is that you can choose a word. For example, you can repeat the word "peace".

6. 

   Form a habit. Meditation is practice. That means that the first time you meditate, you can't be immediately successful. Your mind can wander, or even fall asleep. Learning to meditate successfully is a long and time consuming process.
   • Make meditation a part of everyday life. Start with a short amount of time, maybe five or even two minutes. Soon you will feel more comfortable with the process and be able to spend more time meditating each day.

Part 2 of 3: Pay more attention

1. 

   Learn how to be mindful of things. Being attentive means that you are more proactive than being aware of all the activities that are happening around you. You have a conscious focus on emotions and feelings. Being more attentive helps you to be in harmony with yourself and with the world around you.
   • When you are more observant, avoid judgmental attitudes. Just observe and note but not give any opinion about "right" or "wrong".
   • For example, if you are feeling stressed, don't judge yourself for the situation. Simply observe and recognize your feelings.

2. 

   Go out. Spending a little time outside can be very helpful in generating more interest. Attention helps you to enlighten the third eye because you will be more conscious of it. So you can go for a walk every day, spend more time enjoying nature.
   • In today's modern culture, we are "electronicizing" too much in a day. This means that we are almost always looking at electronics or communications. Going out reminds us to actively rest in order to reduce our triggers.

3. 

   Creation. Mindfulness can stimulate your creativity. Research shows that mindfulness meditation provides a source of ideas for writers and artists and other creative experiences. Being more attentive helps you to open up your creative path.
   • Test your creativity. You can participate in painting, sketching, or learning to play a new instrument. Let the creative flow run through you to feel in harmony with yourself, and open up your third eye.

4. 

   Focus on the little things. Daily life can be quite hectic and overwhelming. Forming mindfulness helps you feel calmer and able to use the third eye effectively. Pay attention to each aspect of your surroundings and habits.
   • For example, when you are taking a bath, you may notice how you feel in your body. Feel how the warm water flows evenly over your shoulders or the scent of the shampoo radiates.
