Awakening the Third Eye

(Barré) #1

Meditation phase 1: the larynx of energy


Close your eyes. Keep your eyes closed until the end of the
meditation.
Start breathing with the throat friction (section 2.1).
The friction breathing generates a vibration in the throat. Become
aware of the vibration in the larynx. Use the friction to intensify
the vibration in the larynx.
The vibration in the throat is made of two parts: one physical,
created by the mechanical action of the breathing, and a more
subtle one, like a tingling, that can still be perceived when you
stop the breath.
Use the throat friction to intensify the non-physical tingling.
Adjust the position of your spine. Look for the absolute
uprightness. Align the neck with the rest of your back in quest of
a perfectly straight posture. Make sure that the head, the neck
and the rest of the back are in a straight line.
Watch how the vibration in the larynx and the flow of energy in
the throat can be enhanced by getting as close as possible to a
perfectly vertical posture.
Cultivate stillness.


Meditation phase 2: vibration in the eye


Keep on breathing with the throat friction, but drop the
awareness of the throat. Become aware of the vibration between
the eyebrows.
Connect the vibration in the eye (i.e. between the eyebrows) with
the throat friction.
If you are not too sure of what ‘connecting’ means, just remain
aware of both at the same time: the throat friction, and the
vibration between the eyebrows. Very quickly, it will become clear
that a certain interaction takes place between the throat and the
eye. That is what is meant by connecting.
Phase 2 consists of using the throat friction as an amplifier, to
cultivate and build up the vibration in the eye.
If you have the choice between heavy density and subtle tingling,
rather go for the tingling. Avoid grasping. Keep the experience
light.


Meditation phase 3: light in the eye


Maintain the throat friction. (The eyes remain closed till the end
of the meditation.)
