The third eye or the divine eye as it is sometimes called, is located in the mid-point between the eyes. Many esoteric and spiritual traditions, among them Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism, have practices devoted to opening and perceiving enlightened wisdom through the third eye.
When the third eye is open and activated it becomes possible to see with psychic vision. The psychic ability of clairvoyance emanates through the third eye. This is the ability to receive energy information through figurative, symbolic and realistic images. An important psychic tool, clairvoyance empowers you to perceive the past, present and future through images and visions.
Unlike physical eye sight, clairvoyant sight is not always three dimensional and true to physical form. Images may be symbolic, metaphoric, cartoon like, flat or full of color and movement. Clairvoyant sight might also not be highly visual. Images can be intuitively sensed, known and felt. This might not initially seem to make much sense. Through our physical senses the nose smells, the ears hear and the eyes see. Psychic senses are more intertwined and often rely on one another to interpret energy information in a way that we can fully understand.
Be careful not to ignore and pass over clairvoyant images if they surface in an unexpected way. Many people become frustrated when they do not readily perceive clear visual images when beginning to develop clairvoyance. For some, the expectation is to clairvoyantly see in the same way that the physical eyes see. However, instead of initially seeing an image, some may intuitively know what an images looks like. Others may intuitively feel an image. It is even possible to become aware of an image through inwardly hearing what it looks like.
If you experience these kinds of images, do not dismiss or disregard them. Pay attention to what you receive and allow your psychic senses to converge and flow into one another. As you do this, they begin to work together and to provide accurate and understandable information.

As I watch the wind scatter the leaves outside my window, I’m reminded of how much I love this time of year. The brisk cool mornings, the dusky slant of the sun in the late afternoon and the cascade of leaves in the sunny breeze that looks like gold falling from the sky.
Becoming aware of your innate psychic abilities and making the decision to further develop them, embodies many of the characteristics of the hero’s journey. Joseph Campbell in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, describes the universal archetypal pattern of the hero and how it guides human development and spiritual transformation. Since the beginning of recorded time, we have sought the adventure and challenge of exploring the unknown and reaching beyond ourselves.

When we are young we are taught the value of playing nice, sharing our toys and not being demanding and mean to others. As we get older, we continue to be taught in overt and subtle ways to silence our emotions and wait our turn. While these lessons can be valuable and help us to respect others and refine our ego, it can also give us the unconscious message that the raw truth of who we are, cannot be trusted. One false move in saying something that another does not agree with or sharing a feeling that may be too intense, could doom us to a life of loneliness.
Those with a high degree of emotional intuition, often share common characteristics. Most are highly sensitive and empathetic, especially with those who are in pain or suffering in some way. With a desire to support, help and be of service to others, they may believe that love can heal all. It is not surprising that those with a high degree of emotional intuition also tend to be emotionally intelligent. Common traits of emotional intelligence include such thing as the ability to be aware of, communicate, and express emotions, as well as the ability to skillfully help others to process their emotions. An emotional intuitive may not only feel another’s emotions, they are also able to lighten another’s emotional stress and worries through a kind of emotional psychic intervention. They often do this unknowingly by sending pure waves of unconditional healing love energy to those who they intuit are in need.
