What Is the Third Eye and What Are the Signs That You Have Activated It

Ancient cultures believed that each person has a third spiritual eye that allows him to connect with his inner wisdom and to become aware of the connection between body and spirit.

The third eye was seen as a spiritual sign that gives you a state of bliss and enlightenment and helps you realize your potential to put into practice whatever you think with your mind.

Today, the third eye is attributed to the pineal gland. This is a cone-shaped endocrine gland, as small as a pea, located between the two cerebral hemispheres.

It is known to be responsible for the secretion of melatonin, the hormone that plays a key role in sleep duration and quality, increases the ability to recall dreams, strengthens the immune system, increases libido, and supports the functions of perception and adaptation to the seasons.

That's why kissing on the forehead is, in addition to a gesture of affection, a connection of the person who makes this gesture with yourself. It is a gesture of enlightenment and fusion with you, most deeply.

In the spirit world, the third eye is much more than that. It is considered a gateway between the physical world and the spiritual world, which helps the human body to better connect and be more receptive to the energies of the Universe.

There is still the belief that, through constant meditation, the third eye can open, and thus your inner strength is activated and becomes stronger. Here are the signs that the third eye has activated.

Third eye: signs that it is activated

1. Strong sensation of pressure at the point between the eyebrows

In general, when the third eye begins to manifest at a much deeper level, you experience a strong sensation of pressure at one point between the eyebrows. It feels like someone is touching you lightly at that moment or you can feel a warmth starting to spread from that place all over your body. Sometimes this feeling can come from nowhere, whether we believe in the spiritual world or not.

2. Strong intuition

One of the most obvious signs of opening the third eye is an increase in the vision or intuition we are beginning to experience.

Intuition is the ability to know something that might happen before it even happens, or to know that something is right or wrong without a logical explanation. Intuition is the one that can give you certain warning signs or tell you what your next action should be, but without giving you any explanation as to why.

Intuition is a very strong feeling that can be a very useful tool in your daily life if you know how to listen to it. It is often good not to dispute it, but to use it. Even if it doesn't always give you good results, in most cases, it will get you on the right track.

3. Excessive sensitivity to light

The connection between the third eye and light has been talked about in many traditions and cultures around the world. The symbol of the eye and light appears in many works of art, such as circular shapes and star-shaped lights looking through the clouds.

In the spirit world, there is a belief that when the third eye is opened, sensitivity to light may appear, and more intense, brighter colors can be perceived. These signals may start subtly and you may not always be aware of them because they are not obvious or overwhelming at once.

However, over time, your eyes change and you may feel as if you are not getting enough natural light. In these cases, you will tend to spend a lot of time in the sun to catch as much light as possible. This feeling is normal, but you have to be careful to protect your skin when you do this "sunbathing".

4. Strong headaches, unexplained

In addition to the pressure felt between the eyebrows, when the third eye is activated, you may experience very severe headaches due to energy overload. If you have such unexplained pain, a walk outside, outdoors and natural light can help. Another solution is to meditate or do something you enjoy.

The pressure on the head, especially in the center of the forehead, is a real sign of the spiritual opening of the third eye. It is an indication that the pineal gland is developing energetically.

5. A feeling of continuous change or evolution of the self

Maintaining a healthy third eye will change your personality and outlook on life. There will be beneficial changes in all aspects of life, but especially in the way, you treat other people. You will notice that you will become more tolerant and less selfish.

When the third eye opens, you will be more inclined to understand the place of man in the Universe, your attention and intuition will develop, you will experience better memory and you will concentrate more strongly towards reaching your maximum potential.

The third eye helps you to realize that you are the creator of your reality, so pay close attention to it!
