Third Eye Focusing technique, Shiva Yoga
|
|
|
| Hi.
Where I can find more about "Third Eye Focusing technique" and steps for
practice?
Any book, e-book, tutorial, URL, .....?
Can anyone recommend a good book about "Third Eye Focusing technique"?
I get advice to look for ....
"Higher Psychical Development - The teachings of the Yogis by Hereward
Carringtion. 1983, NewCastle Publishing., Inc. North Hollywood, California."
..... but I can't find this anywhere.
I also hear that Shiva Yoga is technique for opening "Third Eye".
Is it?
Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good book where I can find more about "Third Eye
Focusing technique"?
Should I look in "Shiva Yoga" books and/or "Kriya Yoga" books for technique
for opening "Third Eye"?
There must be some yoga book(s) which, among other things, explain "Third
Eye Focusing technique"?
Thanks in advance!

The lessons are "home study". They are mailed bi-monthly. About 50 or
so a year for 3 years. You might email SRF and inquire. I am certain
they mail to Europe :-) SRF is also represented in ashrams and centres
throughout Europe
One of the other posters did bring up an important consideration. There
are those who would suggest it is not wise to practice any yoga
technique "out of context" of a system or without supervision of a
teacher who has prepared the yogi for safe and proper learning of that
technique.
Are you a yogi? May I ask, what you interest in "third eye" techniques
is.
BTW, I would think that a search on the internet would bring you tons
to read "about" the technique and probably some discussion how to go
about practicing it. Also BTW, like many things in yoga I am sure there
isn't a single technique but probably hundreds of variations.

What you mean by "it will never be closed, and may burn you first"?
Can you explain more!

I just want to learn more about that.
Can you recommend any book/s.
I was search internet, but I don't know what is true and what isn't.
So, I need advise about book(s) and I will then find more about the author
of the book. And his reputation.

All this "Third Eye" stuff may have some connection to the raising of
the Kundalini energy where some work is done on the chakras. The Ajna
Chakra is situated between the eyebrows, and I believe that some persons
have referred to it as the third eye. You could search for the words
Kundalini, Chakra, Ajna Chakra and Pranayama on the web.
Anyway, when working with the Kundalini force (if that's what you're
planning to do) you should start from the bottom, as it might be unwise
to skip some steps and go directly to the higher chakras.
What, precisely, do you hope to achieve by "opening the Third Eye"? What
will it mean to you? Kundalini work takes a random amount of time, and
you appear to be in a bit of a hurry, so perhaps you would benefit from
using more expedient means to achieve your goal, whatever it is.

Howdy Pero!
For more information about the founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship,
see:
The Autobiography of a Yogi
By: Paramahansa Yogonanda
You can get it new or used at just about any online book retailer. Any
bookstore that sells yoga books will have it.
He was a profuse writer and I already have several of his books in my
library.

I get paper edition of this book. I currently don't have time to read, but I
did preview this book.
I can't find anything about "Third Eye" in this book, or I need to look
again?!
???????????
What is "Self-Realization Fellowship", and how this is "connected" to "Third
Eye technique"?
Regards.

IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING (semantics is one of my hangups)
then....
"Third Eye Technique" (as I understand it) would be any technique that
focuses on the Self (n.b.; capital "S.")
Not the world around you,
not your body,
not your mind,
but your Self.
That part which I call my "Silent Observer."
The body interacts with the world.
The mind processes and analyses the information.
The "Silent Observer" takes it all in.
The body and mind are subject to change and decay.
The Silent Observer is just watching the show.

| Hi Pero,
If Kabir was to reply it would be as follows:
Third Eye Focusing Technique is within you,like fragrance in the
flowers.Why,like a musk deer are you searcing for musk in the grass
again and again?
With compassion,
Puma
