In my last blog, we explored and looked at the Crown Chakra and its purpose.
Next let’s look at the Third Eye Chakra, also known as the Psychic Eye. It’s located in the centre of the forehead between the brows and is also known as the 6th chakra in the physical body.
The Third Eye chakra is associated with the colour purple and Indigo.
Both being deep colours you already get the sense that the Third Eye speaks to the depth of our own being. With connecting us to our intuition, having foresight, vision, perception and our psychic ability.
I find working with my clients that a lot of my clients use their third eye to sum up an environment, person or situation by just sensing the energy around them.
Have you ever had that feeling where you were going into a place and your intuition said “get out”, “don’t go in” and you simply turned around and left without knowing exactly why – that’s your Third Eye guiding you.
Or you’re driving to work and all of a sudden you just get the feeling your taking a different route today, no specific reason – just a feeling you have and getting to your destination you hear on the radio or people talking, ‘did you hear what happened on the intersection or that road’ – and you immediately know that’s why I had to take a different route today.
When the Third Eye is open we can intuitively sense things around us without people having to say something or having to have physical evidence of something, it’s just an inner knowing. Trusting your intuition isn’t something that everyone is comfortable with although it’s the most natural thing to do, because it’s who we are.
If this is new to you or you only use it now and then, take time to learn what the energy feels like and trust your insights and yourself, the outcome will always serve you.
Here are a few indicators of your Third Eye being closed:
- Lack of clarity
- Feeling stuck in your everyday routine or in a situation and like you can’t see a way out with struggling to change your perspective or recognising new opportunities or dealing with them in a different way
- Unable to focus
- Indecisive
- Feeling scattered and unable to zone into one specific thing and feeling distracted with having too many things to do or decide etc.
- Fearful
- Close-minded – unimaginative
Let’s look at a few ways we can support and stimulate the third eye…
Crystals that I find are complementing to the Third Eye and can help balance
the Third Eye energy when doing energy healing for my clients or that you can use by lying down and placing them on your Third Eye or wearing them on you are:
- Amethyst
- Blue Lace
- Sodalite
- Labradorite
- Moldavite
The Essential Oils that stimulate and help balance the Third Eye and that I use on the temples and between the brow area (just be sure to use a small amount of oil and not too low or close to the eyes – that it burns your eyes) is:
- Peppermint oil
- Rosemary
- Clary Sage
- Frankincense
The Third Eye, as all of the chakras in our physical body, is truly remarkable and simply offers support and clarity to navigate us through the journey of life by connecting us with our own inner knowledge and wisdom.
