My name is Edward MacCrone and I’ve been a full-time professor at Harvard for the past 9 years.

On 25 February 2023, me and my colleagues from Harvard University’s neuroscience department made the biggest scientific discovery of our lives.

We had just finished scanning the brain of Yongey after traveling all the way to Tibet to study him. He is a 33 year old Tibetan monk and fortune teller who is rumored to have "psychic superpowers".

News outlets from all over the world interviewed Yongey after local villagers claimed he had the power to read minds, tell the future and "sense" things that were happening from a long distance away.

His mental abilities are so powerful that even the Dalai Lama himself was said to pay annual visits to Yongey's monastery to consult Yongey for advice.

That sounds good and all, but in science we go off of facts.

That’s why we scanned Yongey’s brain using an advanced brain scanning technique called Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).

When we did this, we saw that Yongey's brain exhibited seemingly "magical" levels of neural connectivity in regions of his brain associated with advanced cognitive functions like memory, attention and sensory perception.

There’s never been a study of a brain this advanced before in history.

We ran test after test, but nothing could explain Yongey's mental powers.

Yongey's abilitied seemed to defy science.

After 30 days of various tests that produced no results, we ran out of time and had to return to Harvard.

But I decided to stay behind by myself. Something inside of me just told me there had to be a reasonable explanation for Yongey’s abilities.

A month later I noticed something that led to a major breakthrough.

One day, Yongey invited me to join him for a group mediation. That’s when I noticed he always meditated while wearing a strange beaded necklace made using round blue stones.

Right away, I could tell the necklace was special even though I had never seen it before. 

Yongey explained that he found it on the street as a child and used it to activate his third eye at the age of 14.

After this happened, Yongey joined a Buddhist monastery and learned the truth about the necklace.

According to Yongey:

"For thousands of years, necklaces just like this one have been used by monks to unlock spiritual and psychic powers."

What Yongey said seemed impossible. How could a necklace do something like that?

To determine if the necklace had any effect on Yongey’s brain, I decided to do an experiment.

I asked Yongey to meditate twice: one time with the necklace, and one time without the necklace. 

During both of his meditations, I scanned his brain.

The results were as clear as day.

When Yongey meditated without the necklace, his brain waves were normal. I didn't detect anything unusual at all.

But when Yongey meditated using, his brain waves displayed a massive amount of neural activity in areas associated with focus, attention and cognitive processing.

This was scientific proof that the extraordinary brain waves inside Yongey's brain were caused by the necklace!

Even though I was faced with this scientific evidence, I still couldn’t believe it.

I shared my doubts with Yongey, who surprisingly understood why I had doubts.

It was as if he already knew I had doubts.

After I first arrived in Tibet to study Yongey's brain, I started meditating with Yongey to see for myself how it affects the human body.

So after I shared my doubts about the necklace, he invited me to meditate with him like we had before.

Yongey said:

“But this time, you may wear my necklace on one condition...”

“Instead of just meditating like you usually do, use my Aum mantra.”

“As you chant the mantra, count the beads on my necklace.”

“Make sure to keep your eyes focused between your eyebrows and chant the Aum mantra slowly to synchronize with your breath.”

I couldn’t believe he offered his necklace to me. Of course, I accepted. I was very curious.

Soon after we began meditating, everything seemed normal.

Gradually I began to feel a warm pressure build up between my eyebrows, as if someone was rubbing my forehead with their hand.

The feeling vanished when I finished my mediation. Was it just a coincidence?

For the next 28 days straight I repeated this same routine with Yongey.

While meditating I could feel something between my eyebrows, but whenever I stopped meditating I lost the feeling.

Then finally on the 29th day, this time the feeling didn’t just vanish.

It became more intense until, with my eyes still closed during meditation, I saw a sudden flash of blue light illuminate strange shapes I had never seen before.

My heart rate increased rapidly. I was so startled by these strange sensations that I opened my eyes and stopped meditating.

Before I could even ask Yongey what happened, he sat meditating with his eyes still closed and said…

“Edward, how does it feel to have opened your third eye?”

It’s as if he knew what I was about to ask before I could open my own mouth. 

Was he reading my mind?

From that moment on, I realized that psychic powers are beyond the understanding of modern science. It’s something that can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

After doing more research I discovered that the Lapis Lazuli stones in Yongey’s necklace were what gave his necklace power.

These stones have a stimulating effect on the Third Eye Chakra - which Yongey says is associated with intuition, perception, and wisdom.

According to ancient 500 B.C. Tibetan spiritual teachings, the Third Eye Chakra is the our body's central repository of spiritual insight and psychic abilities.

Unlocking the Third Eye Chakra enables the development of psychic powers such as prophecy, lucid dreaming, and coincidence control. 

The Lapis Lazuli mala unlocks the Third Eye Chakra by allowing the wearer to access altered states of consciousness, making it easier to connect to the spiritual world.

My findings from my months studying Yongey's brain tells me that Yongey's use of the Lapis Lazuli mala was the key to his exceptional brain function and psychic abilities. 

They prove that so called "psychic" abilities are imply an innate part of your brain, which had always been there since the day you were born.

They are simply "blocked" until your Third Eye Chakra is activated.

But, by using Lapis Lazuli anyone can "unblock" these pre-existing, mental abilities.

After seeing firsthand the true power of the necklace Yongey used to develop his psychic powers, I came up with a plan.

With the help of Yongey and his monastery, I designed a special necklace identical to the one Yongey uses. It’s called the Lapis Lazuli Third Eye Mala.

Remember how Lapis Lazuli was found to be the key to Yongey's spiritual powers?

There's a catch.

Lapis Lazuli just by itself isn't enough to unlock the hidden mental powers of your mind.

That's because even though the stone is full of spiritual energy, it is "unfocused".

Picture this.

Imagine raw Lapis Lazuli stone like a powerful but scattered beam of light.

While it contains immense potential, its energy is scattered and unfocused.

This is why we make the Lapis Lazuli Third Eye Mala by hand in Tibet using a 2,500-year-old process.

By putting exactly 108 Lapis Lazuli beads (108 is an important and spiritual number in Tibetan Buddhism) you can "count" a specific mantra or intention.

As you meditate, the mala will then focus and concentrate the spiritual energies of the Lapis Lazuli beads into a laser-like beam onto your intention.

And if you wear it during meditation while also using Yongey’s Aum Mantra, it will open your Third Eye Chakra more quickly than anything else.

To recap, activating your Third Eye Chakra requires three ingredients.

1. Lapis Lazuli, which provides spiritual energy aligned with the Third Eye Chakra.
2. A mala necklace design, which focuses the energies of the Lapis Lazuli.
3. An appropriate mantra for the Lapis Lazuli's energy to be focused onto.

That's why the Lapis Lazuli Mala Yongey used had such a powerful effect...

The Mala allowed Yongey to focus his Aum mantra in such a way that he opened his Third Eye Chakra.

During each meditation I do, I simply repeat the mantra "Aum" (sometimes spelt "Om") with each breath that I take.

The mantra consists of three syllables: "A", "U" and "M", which represent the three states of consciousness - waking, dreaming and deep sleep.

According to Yongey, the Aum mantra also represents the sound of creation. It symbolizes the ultimate reality and encompasses the entire universe.

Using the Aum mantra while meditating with the Mala allows me to enter altered states of consciousness and experience psychic encounters.

So if you are interested in unblocking your Third Eye Chakra to access spiritual states of mind and transform your reality, the Lapis Lazuli Third Eye Mala is the exact spiritual tool you need.
