third eye chakra
The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra and it pertains to the concept of 'seeing', especially in a psychic and spiritual sense. Having a strong third eye chakra allows you to use your enhanced inner guidance that comes from more powerful intuitive abilities.
I have found that engaging with meditational labyrinths and the eightfold path aids in developing these abilities and senses.
Labyrinths have appeared on every continent in prehistory including the Americas, India and Africa. The design is estimated to be over 5,000 years old and is believed to have evolved from other universal symbol sets, including the circle, spiral and cross. Labyrinths can be large enough to walk or small enough to fit in your pocket. Regardless of size the benefits are the same.
Simply use a stylus or your finger for a small handheld labyrinth to trace the path into the center of the labyrinth, pause and then retrace your path out of the labyrinth. You will feel the stress leave your mind and body as the calmness and peace enter. You can also find many walking labyrinths throughout the world, use this link to find one near you.
eightfold path
I have the amazing good fortune to live very close to the Center for Mindfulness and Insight Meditation. At the Meditation Society, the focus is on and experiential form of insight meditation known as Mahasati led by an ordained meditation master from Thailand. There I have learned many valuable lessons, including those of the eightfold path.
