The Seven Chakras: Third Eye Chakra

The third eye chakra (sixth chakra), also known as ajna, is an indigo energy center located between the eyes or forehead. The third eye chakra looks like two cones that are connected at their tip. One cone extends in front of the body and the other extends in back of the body. The area where they are connected is located at the center of the body. The energies that make up the two cones spin opposite of each other. Its energy powers the eyes, ears, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and pineal gland. The main reason why it is called the third eye is because it operates similar to an eye. This third eye represent the element light and has the ability to see both physically and intuitively. The third eye has a strong connection to the pineal gland which is located near the center of the brain.
Below is an excerpt from my book Staradigm.
Unlike regular eyes, the third eye has the ability to see both physically and intuitively. It is the gland responsible for connecting us to other realms, such as the dream realm. The third eye chakra is the energy center of unified awareness and is the gateway to the universal mind of Creation. In other words, it is the awareness of Creation (God) as self and others as self.
When we have balanced third eye chakras, we tend to be very connected to nature because we see all things as one. We are also great teachers, healers, truth seekers and thinkers. Our awareness is more expanded than others; therefore, it is hard for others to manipulate us. When our third eye chakra are imbalanced, we may have problems with mental clarity and seeing, hearing and accepting the truth. These problems can empower our egos, causing us to become delusional.
The third eye chakra and the crown chakra (seventh chakra) are where communication to other dimensions can happen. The third eye chakra gives us access to information of the past, present and future. Its energy vibrates at such a high frequency that it transcends the physical dimensions of the lower chakras. Most peoples’ third eyes are usually closed because their thoughts are too distracted and egocentric. If people clear their minds and practice opening their third eyes, in time they may be able to use this psychic energy to guide them.
People who have a balanced third eye chakra are more clear minded. They usually look at life from a higher perspective and are great guides because they are very wise. They are also very connected to nature and consciousness. People who have an imbalanced third eye chakra will usually have problem with mental clarity, seeing, hearing and accepting the truth. They tend to be delusional because many of their decisions are influenced by their overactive ego. They are more connected to their ego (false self) instead of their spirit (true self). An imbalanced third eye chakra may results in blindness, migraines, sleep disorders, depression and schizophrenia.
How to clear and balance your third eye chakra:
- Crystals: Blue and indigo crystals or stones are great for stimulating the third eye chakra. Some popular stones are ametrine, amethyst, azurite and sugilite. Visit this page for more details about using crystals.
- Light visualization: Imagine a transparent indigo ball by your forehead. Visualize that this is your third eye chakra. Mentally look or sense this indigo ball of energy shining brightly. Some people may see an oval shape that looks similar to an eye. If what you see is mostly dark colors, your third eye chakra may be very dirty. To clean it, visualize a pure white light illuminating from the inside of your third eye. Visualize this white light cleansing its energy until it is illuminating beautiful blue and indigo colors. Cleaning your chakra of dark energy may take a few weeks or months so please be patient.
