Activate The Third-Eye Chakra To Develop Self-Awareness

PinThe third eye chakra (Sanskrit name Ajna) sits between the eyebrows in the center of the forehead, it’s often referred to at the brow chakra and is regarded as the “sixth chakra”.

The brow chakra works on the eyes, brain, mind, nose, ears, nervous system, pituitary, and pineal gland. The pineal gland is situated within the brain. This small endocrine gland produces melatonin, which modulates our sleep patterns and many believe it to be the source of psychic and intuitive vision. Opening this chakra can be transformational, and the third eye is one of the most powerful chakras to support you through your spiritual emergence as consciousness is shifting. It also improves memory, focus, vision, imagination, meditation and independent thought.

Signs of a blocked or imbalanced third eye chakra can include:

Headaches, nightmares, hallucinations, delusions, difficulty concentrating, poor memory and vision or denial.

One of the easiest way to notice if your third-eye chakra is out of balance is when you feel lost when it comes to a sense of purpose and a path in life. This sense of being without inner guidance can lead to becoming very stagnant

When this energy center becomes blocked, you may also begin to distrust your intuition. Your perception about where you’re headed in life can become negatively impacted or totally unrecognizable. Being unable to let go of the past and having a fear of what the future holds may also make you very rigid in your beliefs, daily routine and how you perceive others.

Feeling stuck in your daily routine and unable to look beyond your problems and set new visions and goals are also signs that the brow chakra is blocked.

The need for purpose is one the most essential characteristics of human beings. We crave it and can suffer serious psychological effects when we can’t find it.

Purpose is a core component of living a fulfilling life.

There are several ways to stimulate and rebalance this energy center.

1. Use Vibrational Remedies:

Australian bush flowers such as the Bush Iris, Yellow Cowslip Orchid, Angelsword, Green Spider Orchid, and Fringed Violet will work on rebalancing the third eye chakra and will ultimately help you to gain clear and concise spiritual discernment.

Organic essential oils such as Frankincense, Rose, Clary Sage and Roman Chamomile are also perfect for the third eye and they can be diffused in an oil burner or vaporiser which is then sprayed into the aura; or gently rubbed onto trigger points on the skin.

2. Use Crystals:

Listed below are a selection of healing stones that are commonly used to open, balance and heal the third eye chakra. Many correspond with the chakra color.

How To Use Chakra Healing Crystals

Each crystal holds a unique vibration so it’s extremely important to know how to use the correct stone with the affected chakra. Cleansed and charged healing crystals are most effective when you place them near to the location of the imbalanced chakra which is in need of healing. They are often worn as jewelry or positioned over the affected chakra.

For third eye healing, try wearing a crystal in your hair. You could also place them in various locations around your home in your bed as you sleep.

3. Use Sound Frequencies:

Certain sound vibrations resonate with the chakras and are incredibly powerful for clearing blockages and creating balance. Among the most popular are the use of mantras and vowels.

Vowels

The Seven Sacred Vowels are considered extremely holy in many traditions including ancient Egyptians, Tibetan, Japanese and Native American.

The vowel sound for the third eye chakra activation is Aye.

Bija Mantras

Another potent method of resonating the chakras is to use the Bija Mantras. These were developed from Sanskrit letters within the Vedic traditions, and are said to balance and align the chakras.

The Bija Mantra which resonates with the third eye chakra is SHAM

Another aspect of sonic chakra system resonance has to do with the actual frequency or keynote of each chakra.

Keynote A is believed to be in natural resonance with the sacral chakra. It has a frequency of 426.7 Hz.

4. Meditate:

Meditation is beneficial for almost anything in life, including helping you access intuition as we are able to bypass the cognitive mind and slip into an alpha brainwave state. By attempting to move away from over thinking and remaining in a more neutral, open state… we prepare ourselves to receive and accept intuitive information.

5. Surround Yourself With the Colour Indigo:

Another very simple method to rebalance the third-eye chakra is to wear indigo clothes or bathe in indigo light. This mystical color is incredible for balancing the third eye, enabling you to heighten your intuition and develop clairvoyance. It will also help you to clarify your own truth by working on your mind to unlock the doors to other realms of existence.

This is especially beneficial if you do not have any 2’s in your birth-date as you may need to activate your feminine, intuitive aspects.
