The Daoist Secret of Opening the Third Eye
by
Dr. Baolin Wu & Jessica Arlene Riley
Dr. Baolin Wu, a living Daoist master, reveals for the first time, the secret method of opening the third eye. Passed down in an 800-year-old oral tradition, this book details visualizations, meditations, and qigong movements that have been carefully guarded at the White Cloud Monastery for seventeen generations. Daoists refer to the third eye as the Heavenly Eye, due to its ability to open the mind to a higher level of perception. Once activated, it opens psychic abilities, enhances intuition, and inspires divine creativity, allowing adepts to distinguish truth from deception, perceive realms beyond ordinary time and space, and receive deep insights about ultimate destiny. These sacred self-cultivation practices harness the yin essence of the moon, matching the lunar cycles of the ancient Chinese calendar while also working with opening the joints and arteries of the body, detailed here in the qigong form known as Five Centers Facing Heaven. The book provides both theory and practice instructions, supporting the quest to restore the mind, rejuvenate the body, and awaken the innate power of spirit.
