The third eye chakra is the sixth major energy center along the spine out of seven. It is located between the eyes in the middle of the forehead, above the throat chakra and below the crown chakra. It is also called the Ajna Chakra in Sanskrit terms and is an integral part of Kundalini Meditation.

It is known to be our portal or ‘connection’ unto the cosmic Universe, also called the ‘seat of the soul’, for it is the chakra associated with the pineal gland (a small area of the brain associated with spiritual awakening).

Thus to elevate, enlighten, and invigorate the third eye chakra, common practice would suggest a number of things, one of which being to decalcify and detoxify the pineal gland.

This chakra is also known for representing psychic ability, channeling, telepathy, astral travel, visions, a connection to Higher Self and Spirit Guides, light, as well as so much more. It is the frequency of wisdom, understanding, and multidimensional exploration. Connecting us to Source just as much as the heart.

A powerful method to help open the third eye chakra, aside from strengthening pineal gland function, is to imagine a ball of warm indigo energy full of love and light surrounding the third eye chakra and slowly spinning in a circle. Increase the speed of this energetic ball as you visualize the third eye blossoming open. Imagine what your third eye looks like. What color is it? How brightly does it shine?

Envision this chakra opening as a flower or as a shutter on a camera lens. See it radiate with divine light, both awakening and energizing the chakra as well as your entire being. Vibrate at a higher consciousness whilst focusing on universal connection to all people, places, and things.

Other methods include using crystals during meditation by placing them around your person or pressing them lightly against the forehead, such as amethyst, purple fluorite, or black obsidian. You could also focus on the flame of an indigo colored beeswax candle (or any candle) for 5-10 minutes of meditation before closing your eyes and envisioning this ‘flame’ as the third eye awakening for another 5-10 minutes.

The mantras, “I am open to new ideas” or “I am one with the Universe”, among a few others make for excellent mantra meditation to help enhance the third eye chakra.

To awaken your third eye with a friend or partner (at the same time helping them with theirs), practice creating an energetic triangle with them. This is done by comfortably sitting across from one another and staring into each other’s eyes for as long as possible, whilst practicing meditation simultaneously. Focus on clearing the mind of thoughts and centering your attention on all three of your partner’s ‘eyes’. Meaning, create a triangle by looking into their eyes while also centering your third eye vision on their third eye chakra, and vice versa.

Continually reinforce your mind to remain silent to achieve a meditative state. Then, any thoughts that pop into your consciousness will most likely arrive from your partner, and for a good reason, as though telepathically. Pay attention to them!

Opening the third eye chakra opens us to the path of possibility, enhancing our belief systems. This in turn allows for miracles to manifest and for divine epiphanies to light our way. Yet aside from the third eye, there are lots of quick and efficient ways to open and balance the 7 major chakras. Find what works best then prepare yourself for a complete transformation and awakening of spiritual awareness. ♥
