The 6th or, Third Eye Chakra, is where we connect to the mental plane of our existence. It is located just above the eyebrows at the center of the forehead. Our ideas, dreams, goals, values and our self image begin here. By our thoughts we are able to express ourselves in the world. It is with our thoughts that we make our dreams a reality. Through meditation we develop our inner perception. We begin to understand that everything in our life happens for a reason. We are the Dream Weaver in this delicately designed web of reality.
The Third Eye Chakra is our gateway into higher realms of consciousness. Fully aligned, we understand our oneness with each other, that separation is nothing more than an illusion. When this chakra is balanced with other chakras we open to Universal Knowledge and understand that we are the creators of our own reality.
We can accomplish this centering in many ways, such as:
Meditation – Always a pathway to the soul, meditation draws upon the higher self and reveals our deepest truths. Mediation develops our inner perception and enables us to see beyond the obvious.
Visualization – The color for the Third Eye Chakra is indigo. Visualize an indigo colored lotus flower unfolding in a clockwise direction. The easier it is to unfold, the more aligned it becomes. Lighting indigo colored candles and focusing on that blueish-purple color balances this chakra. Wearing this color clothing brings you into conscious harmony.
Gemstones – Many gemstones are attributed to this color. Placing them on the Third Eye Chakra balances and aligns it. These gemstones include: Purple Fluorite, Sugilite, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Clear Quartz, Lolite, Azurite, Angelite, Sodalite, Aqua Aura Chrystal, Blue Aventurine, Dumortierite, Axinite, Chiastolite, Blue Argonite, Cacoxenite, Lazulite, Merlinite, Ulexite, Blue Tourmaline, Phenacite and Stilbite.
Nutrition – Brain foods, high in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and vegetables are ideal to nourish the Third Eye Chakra. Dark chocolate helps with mental clarity. It helps relax us and lowers high-blood pressure. Berries, such as blueberries and strawberries, have a positive influence over memory, and our ability to learn.
Essential oils – Aromatherapy for the Third Eye Chakra include Angelic Root, Ba Laaurel, Clary Sage, Cypress, Elimi, Frankincense, Helichrysum, Juniper, Marjoram, Patchouli, Rosemary, Sandalwood and Vetiver.
Nature – The Third Eye Chakra's element is light. Sitting in the sunshine under a blue sky balances your Third Eye Chakra, as well as the Throat Chakra.
Sound Therapy – The note for the Third Eye Chakra is “A”. Chanting EEM to the “A” note brings clarity and balance.
Taking these elements individually, or in unison, brings harmony and balance. Watching the video attached to this page will bring greater understanding of the harmonization process.
