In the quiet city of Udaipur, India, there is a small restaurant that is highly rated on Trip Advisor...but by appearance alone it is not much of a restaurant. The small “cafe” is a home for a family- including kids and grandparents. There is one dining table right next to the kitchen.

When people look at you, they don’t just see you. They see your clothes, your hair, your face, and your air. You’ve probably heard the air around you called different things, some call it your presence, others your aura, but I like to think of it as your vibe, which is a little different.

Your third eye, it’s real.

In Buddhism, your third eye, often denoted as a small dot between the eyebrows, is a representation of your minds eye.
