What is the Third Eye Chakra?

Chakras

Oct 11

As it is above the Throat Chakra, the Third Eye Chakra is the visual extension of the words we choose, our authenticity, and our understanding of the truth about the world. In our Throat Chakra we find our authentic selves. From there, the energy rises to our Third Eye Chakra and we actually envision what life as our authentic selves look like. We picture what we want in life and send the energy of that image into the world. It is vision that is the basis of goal setting, and manifesting the lives we want. Our visions will be high vibration, or low vibration, based on what we believe to be true about the world.

Bringing our Third Eye Chakras into balance, pulls us out of the illusions that create anxiety and self-doubt. This helps us to break through patterns that no longer serve us, so we can visualize the lives that allow us to live authentically. From this place, we have a clear Third Eye Chakra, which allows us to tune into our intuition, connecting us with our life purpose. This is where all the work of the lower chakras come together, as we reach higher towards our divinity. It is where we really overcome the human condition and begin to align with our souls.

Third Eye Chakra Balance

A person with a balanced Third Eye Chakra is intuitive and perceptive. They are reflective about the way they live their lives, and have good dream recall. An unbalanced Third Eye Chakra may be demonstrated by poor vision, a weak imagination, difficulty envisioning the future, nightmares, difficulty concentrating, and generalized anxiety.

Pattern

The Third Eye Chakra is about seeing patterns. It is the ability to see what is happening in the moment, and connect it with similarities from the past, allowing you to make an assumption about what will happen in the future. Finding patterns within ourselves is one of our greatest tools for our evolution. It allows for those ah-ha moments where we can find a pattern that no longer serves us, and shift out of it. It is about truly seeing and understanding the big picture, truly having clarity. With that clarity, we can harness the power of our understanding, making incredible changes to our lives.

Illusions

Illusions are images that we believe to be true, but are not actually true. Illusions are the absence of clarity. They pull us from reality and cause us to act in ways that do not serve our highest good. Illusions are visual representations of the barriers, blocks, and limitations that stifle our true selves and divine expression. Illusions may be about the way we think we should look, or a fixed image of what we should be, or what people in our lives should be. Perhaps we have illusions about what certain types of relationships should look like. We interact with countless illusions on a daily basis, where the majority of them are taken as truth, rather than the illusions that they actually are. The Third Eye Chakra helps us to uncover the illusions, facilitating our quest for truth, and our spiritual evolution. Illusions may be associated with, and maintained by, karmic blocks and restrictions. It can be helpful to explore your karmic blocks and restrictions to understand patterns and illusions that may have impacted you over the course of many lifetimes.

Dreams

Dreams come through the Third Eye Chakra. They are visions, sequences of images, and full of symbols. They are often irrational images and series of events that open us up to our unconscious. Dreams are often representations of our internal struggles. Dreams can help us to release emotional pain, consolidate our growth, and can hold valuable information. Epiphanies often come through dreams. They are a good way to receive information from our higher selves as we are in a state in which our minds our clear enough to actually receive and process the information.

Intuition

Our Third Eye Chakra is associated with our intuition. Although, intuition actually can be experienced through every single chakra. Clairvoyance, clear seeing, is most closely aligned with the Third Eye Chakra. Intuition comes through in a variety of ways so open yourself up to all of your senses and stay present. Intuition is when things are illuminated for a moment with knowing. More often than not, the rational mind jumps in to “make sense” of things, but is actually muddying the water. Someone who is intuitive knows how to listen to that first moment of knowing and to keep that window open for longer and longer periods of time. It’s about getting our rational minds out of the way to open ourselves up to our deepest knowing.

Intuition is a muscle. Anyone can be intuitive. If you commit to it, and make space for exploring your intuition every day, as with any other skills, it will improve. The most important thing is your attitude. Stay open and don’t let your ego shut you down. Trust that you are intuitive. Trust that you will receive the answers that you are looking to receive. Don’t judge what you receive. As strange at is may seem in the moment, accept it. Those strange messages may actually make sense in the future.

Healthy Third Eye Chakra Flow

Living life with an understanding of why the Third Eye Chakra may become unbalanced, may help you to monitor your own Third Eye Chakra. You can make intentional choices regarding your life to bring the Third Chakra into balance. The Third Eye Chakra benefits from analyzing patterns and making sense of them, and overcoming illusions that previously blocked your understanding of the world and yourself. This working through of patterns prevents you from becoming a victim of patterns that keep replaying and replaying, causing you to feel confused and overwhelmed by the human experience. The Third Eye Chakra benefits from making time and space to visualize your future. When properly balanced, the Third Eye Chakra can also heighten your intuitive abilities. Connecting with the stars can help you to feel more connected with the intuitive parts of yourself, which can be done through the practical study of astrology or simply taking space to calm the mind and tap into a sense of awe through star gazing. Energy Healing such and sound healing or Reiki healing can give your Third Eye Chakra a boost, working through any blocks and restoring its balance.
