Over the last few months, I’ve grown more spiritually, learning and using concepts to better myself, others, and the world we live in.
This next series, we will delve into practices that I’ve been doing for years and ones that are fairly new for me. I look forward to sharing them with you.
Restoring The Health And Harmony Of The Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra, also known as the Ajna Chakra, is the sixth energy center in the body. It is located between the eyebrows and is associated with intuition, vision, imagination, and wisdom. The Third Eye Chakra allows us to see beyond the physical realm and connect with our higher self and the divine.
However, the Third Eye Chakra can become blocked or imbalanced due to various factors, such as stress, trauma, fear, doubt, environmental toxins, or lack of spiritual practice. When this happens, we may experience symptoms such as headaches, confusion, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, depression, or lack of clarity. We may also lose touch with our inner guidance and feel disconnected from our purpose and our true self.
To restore the health and harmony of the Third Eye Chakra, we need to cleanse it regularly and remove any negative energy or influences that are preventing it from functioning optimally. Cleansing the third eye chakra is a powerful way to enhance your spiritual growth and awaken your psychic abilities. You will be able to access your inner wisdom and guidance more easily and confidently. You will also be able to see beyond the illusions of the ego and align yourself with your true essence and purpose.
There are many ways to cleanse the third eye chakra, such as meditation, visualization, affirmations, crystals, aromatherapy, sound healing and/or diet. Here are some steps you can follow to perform simple and effective cleansing of the Third Eye Chakra:
Meditation, visualization, and affirmations
Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can relax and focus on your breathing. You can sit or lie down, whichever feels more natural to you.
• Close your eyes and bring your attention to the area between your eyebrows. Imagine a bright indigo light shining there, representing the color of the third eye chakra.
• Breathe deeply and slowly, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. As you breathe in, imagine that you are drawing in pure and positive energy from the universe into your Third Eye Chakra. As you breathe out, imagine that you are releasing any negative or stagnant energy from your Third Eye Chakra.
• Repeat this process for as long as you feel comfortable, or until you sense that your Third Eye Chakra is clear and balanced. You may also repeat some affirmations to enhance the cleansing effect, such as “I trust my intuition”, “I see clearly”, “I am connected to my higher self”, and/or “I am open to divine guidance”.
• When you are done, gently open your eyes and thank yourself for taking the time to cleanse your Third Eye Chakra. You may also want to drink some water or eat some fruits to replenish your energy and ground yourself.
• Notice how you feel after the cleansing. You may feel more calm, alert, inspired, or creative. You may also notice some changes in your perception or awareness, such as having more vivid dreams, receiving intuitive insights, or seeing synchronicities.
There are several Third Eye meditation videos that you can use from YouTube. Pick your favorite and enjoy.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils extracted from plants to enhance physical, mental and emotional well-being. Essential oils can be diffused, inhaled, applied to the skin or added to a bath.
Some of the best essential oils for the 3rd Eye Chakra are:
• Lavender: This soothing oil helps to calm the mind, reduce stress and promote relaxation. It also enhances psychic abilities and spiritual awareness.
• Frankincense: This sacred oil has been used for centuries in spiritual rituals and meditation. It helps to open the 3rd Eye Chakra, connect with higher realms and increase intuition.
• Clary Sage: This stimulating oil helps to clear mental fog, boost creativity and sharpen vision. It also balances hormones and emotions.

• Rosemary: This invigorating oil helps to stimulate the brain, improve memory and concentration and enhance mental clarity. It also protects against negative energies and influences.
Again, I ask you to be careful when using essential oils, most as they are not 100% pure as stated on their labels. They often have fillers and extracts. Please read the ingredients carefully.

• Diffuse one or more of these oils in your room or workspace.
• Inhale one or more of these oils from a cotton ball or inhaler.

• Add one or more of these oils to a warm bath with some Epsom salt or sea salt.

• Meditate with a crystal such as amethyst, lapis lazuli or sodalite on your 3rd Eye Chakra.
