Tips for Balancing the Third Eye
Before reading this article, it may benefit you to read the article; ‘What are Chakras?’ and the previous articles.
The Third Eye is located in the middle of the forehead and is related to seeing both physically and intuitively. It opens our psychic ability. As such it opens our psychic faculties. When healthy it allows us to see clearly, in effect letting us “see the big picture”.
Its Sanskrit name is Ajna meaning to perceive, to command and relates to the element light.
Here are some ways to balance the Third Eye Chakra:-
Crystals may be used. Crystals for the Third Eye are all the indigo and purple ones: Amethyst, Azurite and Sugilite are just a few suggestions.
Burning Frankincense, Myrtle and Geranium scented essential oils and incense are also a pleasant way to help.
Wearing or carrying something purple or indigo will also be a help.
Use an affirmation: I communicate easily. Say this silently or out loud to yourself daily, or as you feel the need.
The musical note for the Third Eye is A, so music played in this key is ideal for this purpose.
Do you pay attention to small details, notice what others overlook, easily visualize in your mind’s eye, have vivid dreams, have a good and accurate memory, have an open mind, seek accurate information, think through before you make decisions, refrain from judging people by appearances and have an open mind to another’s point of view?
