Oct. 3 Opening the Third Eye ~ Expanding Awareness and Compassion ** 1 - 4pm, $35 **
Many people think opening the third eye (sixth chakra) is just a vehicle for becoming more psychic and seeing all kinds of interesting things about themselves and others. While true, it is much, much more. The third eye is actually the gateway of knowing one's connection to their Divine Spirit. When one sees from the third eye as opposed to physically seeing, one sees how the latter can lead to judgement or discrimination and how the former opens one to compassion and great awareness.
We will explore the many ways in which the third eye can be opened and utilized for greater spiritual insight into ourselves and others. Exercises to accomplish this goal will include candle gazing, tratak, a form of intense focus, and other third eye meditations.
There will also be group interaction and shared experiences. Participants will gain access to their in-sight and learn how to trust their intuitive knowing.
