I wanted to write a quick blog post about the following question asked by a blog reader recently:
“I have always seen big eyeballs, or multiple eyes sort of floating around, looking at me. It used to scare the bejeepers out of me when I was a kid. It doesn’t happen so often now, just once in a while. What does this mean?”
One of the reasons I decided to answer this question here on the blog is because through mentoring students in my Intuitive Awakening course, I have found it’s not actually an uncommon thing to “see” eyes (especially during meditation) in your mind’s eye, and so people sometimes ask about it. (The mind’s eye is the ‘movie screen’ that exists in your head when you close your eyes…if you try and visualize something, it will appear on the screen that is your mind’s eye.) Here are 3 possibilities if this is something you’re seeing:
1. Your clairvoyance is opening up or you have the gift of clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to ‘see’ Spirit, and clairvoyants usually ‘see’ in their mind’s eye. Some clairvoyants can see deceased spirits and the auras of the living. Some can see images and metaphors which are meaningful for situations. If you’re seeing an eyeball each time you meditate, it could mean that you have a clairvoyant gift.
If you see an eyeball when you’re already engaged in psychic development, it is likely to simply mean that you are in the process of opening up your third eye and clairvoyance.
2. You’re connecting with your Higher self/soul
Another possibility when you are seeing an eyeball stare back at you when you meditate, is that you’re connecting with your own soul or higher self. After all, the eyes are the window to the soul. So if you are doing any kind of consciousness work, maybe you’re working on living from your soul or connecting with your soul’s desires or priorities, seeing an eye looking back at you could be a reflection of this.
3. You have earthbound spirits attached to you
If you see multiple eyes looking at you, and you don’t get a good feeling when you see them, it could be a clairvoyant representation of earthbound spirits in your auric field. I’ve written extensively on this blog about earthbound spirits, and how we can clear them so I won’t go into it too much here. Here are some links if you want to read more about them:
- Encounters with Ghosts
- The Empath’s Toolkit (includes a process for clearing earthbound spirits)
Have you ever had this happen to you? Please share in the comments.
Yes, when I set an intention to connect with my higher self or meditate. It appears as a set of eyes for me and they appear gentle and non judgmental. Rather than being creeped out, I actually feel comforted.
I have movie scene going through my head everyday but haven’t seen eyeballs staring back at me.
Not an hour ago I was outside laying on my lawn chair in the sun. I was on my stomach and then when I rolled over onto my back and closed my eyes, I saw a big, very blue eye surrounded by pink instead of white. I thought it was strange (especially because I don’t “visualize” very well – ever) and then I see this post! A very interesting synchronicity!
Hello, Anna! Thank you for the post! I once did a meditation where I tried to go to a garden and “see” my spirit guide, I saw an eye of a lizard. I could tell it was a lizard because of the “skin” around the eye. It scared me because I thought my spirit guide is some alien. (Or maybe it was because I read about the “Drakonian species” somewhere on the net and my secret fear simply came out).
