The Third Eye, is the point at the middle of the forehead. On the energy level it's where "our soul is seated" this is part of the frontal regions of the brain where decision making processes occur based on intention. (the Crown chakra, or 'top of the head' is what connects us to the Universe and everyone "else")
The Third Eye Point is activated by light and etheric energies, such as Qi. However, to 'safely' open the third eye, it is said that one's dantien must be full of energy and the heart balanced, otherwise you might go mad. --don't worry about that though, as long as you spend more time balancing the lower centers, it's ok to work on the third eye with the rest of your body...but you DO want to have lots of love in your heart for this. In higher "levels" the third eye can be used to "see" energy in people, places, things, it's potential is practically limitless. In opening the third eye, one realizes that there are no levels as everything is interconnected together.
The physical side of the third eye is the pineal gland inside very center of the brain. The physical point in the forehead as well as the optic nerve of the eyes also connect and are integrated into this gland. At midnight AND the body must be asleep, there is some 'unknown' extra energy that flows through this point--creating various natural psychedelic substances such as DMT. (known as the Spirit Molecule) However, if you are awake, this is also a good time to meditate and do QiGong.
That's just a run through of the basics off the top of my head (pun intended)
