To do this, just focus a part of your attention at this point, while letting your eyes focus on the task at hand.

You can also focus on the spiritual eye while going about your daily life, to help keep your mind uplifted throughout the day. Whether or not you see the spiritual eye, by meditating at that point your consciousness will gradually rise until it passes beyond human awareness and enters a state of ecstasy and joy, or superconsciousness. If you are meditating you should do this with your eyes closed.Īs you focus on this point and your thoughts are stilled, you may actually begin to see the visible form of it. Your eyes should be relaxed and looking slightly upward. Imagine a distant mountain, and focus your gaze at the top of it. To focus on the spiritual eye, you do not need to focus your eyes directly at this point, which can be very uncomfortable and make you cross your eyes. In fact, we are souls: we possess bodies.

And it didn’t mean, as orthodox dogma would have it, that only human beings possess souls. We were literally made ‘in the image of God.’ This wasn’t a merely poetic image meant to indicate somehow a higher potential in ourselves. The original design of our bodies was based on that star in the spiritual eye. That shape, with your head at the top: Do you see its general resemblance to a five-pointed star? Stand with your arms stretched out to the side, and your legs wide apart. The five points correspond, interestingly, to the shape of the human body. The five-pointed star at the center of the spiritual eye is the doorway through which our minds can penetrate into the inner kingdom. Its portal of entry is the medulla oblongata at the base of the brain. The spiritual eye is, in fact, a reflection of the cosmic energy entering the body and sustaining it. Through that light (the spiritual eye), the deep meditator can gaze into subtler-than-material realms. The spiritual eye is not a physical object located in the body, but a light which is actually visible there, ‘behind the darkness’ of your closed eyes. When we focus on this point in meditation it helps us to raise our consciousness and feel more uplifted. In yoga classes you may have heard it called the “third eye” or “the sixth chakra,” located between the eyebrows, or in reality, just behind that point inside the brain.
