Clairvoyance, visions, and extrasensory awareness are all possible while the third eye is open. The third eye provides access to the subconscious, allowing you to converse with and receive messages and information from higher consciousness and other planes of awareness. It is said that if you could operate only from your third eye, you would be able to accomplish anything. The third eye can be opened by focusing on one's own inner vision or by engaging with spiritual practices. Focusing on one's inner vision may include visualizing success or overcoming obstacles. Engaging with spiritual practices includes praying, meditating, reading sacred texts, and engaging in self-reflective activities. In most people, the third eye closes during early adulthood then reopens at some point after reaching physical maturity. However, some individuals may remain closed their entire lives. When the third eye is open, it is possible to see clear images of events that have already taken place as well as future possibilities. This gift of clairvoyance can provide information about choices and opportunities not available to the conscious mind alone. People often report seeing colors when they open up their third eye. This happens because the third eye is connected to both the blue and yellow parts of the brain. When someone is having an out-of-body experience, they will often say that they are seeing colors. The mind interprets these colors as coming from outside itself.
