What is the Third Eye Chakra?

The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth of the seven main chakras in the human body. It’s located between the eyebrows and is also known as the Brow Chakra. In Sanskrit, it’s called “Ajna,” which means awareness, command, or authority. You might be familiar with this energy center from mythology, where it’s often referred to as the “third eye” or “celestial eye.”

The energy of the Third Eye Chakra is closely linked to the pineal gland and optic nerves in our body. As a result, it’s deeply connected to our vision and perception. When a person opens their Third Eye Chakra, they often develop a seemingly stronger sense of perception and insight than others. They can see the big picture from small details.

Have you ever had this experience? When you close your eyes and something (especially something sharp) comes close to your brow area, you feel a strong tingling sensation there.

Or maybe when you’re trying to sleep in a quiet, dark environment, if you focus your mind on the spot between your eyebrows, you might feel a strange sensation. It’s like something sharp is slowly extending into your brain, feeling tingly, slightly swollen, and warm.

This isn’t your imagination. The Third Eye area truly occupies an incredibly important place in your body.

Third Eye Chakra Functions

The Third Eye Chakra governs our vision, perception, and focus. This perception goes beyond the external visual appearance of things. It’s about perceiving the inner essence of things, so “insight” might be a more accurate description.

When the Third Eye Chakra is active, it can absorb and perceive more energy, naturally decoding more information. For instance, you might be able to keenly sense the energy and atmosphere when you enter a new environment or interpret someone’s mood just by looking at their photo. This is what we call “intuition” – directly perceiving and interpreting more “invisible” information.

When we’re intensely focused on something, we often unconsciously concentrate power between our eyebrows (some people even frown). This is us using the power of the Third Eye Chakra to draw in more information and inspiration.

When a person’s Third Eye Chakra is blocked, it can affect their physical vision as well as their inner perception. On the flip side, activating the Third Eye Chakra can help us receive more wisdom.

Balanced Third Eye Chakra Signs

When your Third Eye Chakra is balanced, you can:

Have excellent intuition and vision.
Willingly follow your intuition to make judgments and take action.
Have a rich imagination and strong sixth sense.
Dare to envision big goals and have strong execution abilities.
Possess good perception and insight, seeing the inner connections behind things and having unique perspectives and viewpoints.
Have a high level of focus when doing tasks.

Imbalanced Third Eye Chakra Signs

When your Third Eye Chakra energy is too low, you might:

Be overly practical and rigid.
Disbelieve in intangible things and distrust your intuition and instincts. You only trust authoritative analysis and scientific data, seeing anything invisible or intangible as superstition.
Behave in an inflexible, routine manner, with your life following an unchanging order.
Dislike imagination and creativity, preferring overly safe and stable things.
Lack focus when doing tasks.

When your Third Eye Chakra energy is too high, you might:

Prefer living in fantasy while neglecting the real world.
Become obsessed with developing psychic abilities, appearing somewhat mystical to others.
Feel misunderstood by those around you, leading you to further avoid reality. You might allow yourself to fall into an endless spiritual universe, gradually sinking into emptiness, potentially even to the point of mental disturbance.

Third Eye Chakra Healing

Daily care: Take care of your eyes daily, relax them often, and get plenty of sunlight.
Mental discipline: Cultivate the ability to block distractions and focus on tasks.
Focused practice: When working or studying, try to use the power between your eyebrows to focus, using your “third eye” to “see.”
Spiritual exercise: Practice Third Eye Chakra meditation.
Product mindfulness: Avoid fluoride-containing products. Fluoride in water can easily calcify the pineal gland, weakening your sensitivity and clarity.
Natural remedy: Apply a thick turmeric paste to your forehead. You’ll feel a tingling sensation at your Third Eye. It’s a great tool for decalcifying the Third Eye.
Sound therapy: Listen to specific audio frequencies associated with the Third Eye Chakra, such as 432 Hz tones or binaural beats designed for this energy center. These sounds can help stimulate and balance your Third Eye.

Third Eye Chakra Meditation

The sound associated with the Third Eye Chakra is “om.” It symbolizes spiritual cognitive power, can open up the nervous system, and continuously affects the pineal gland, restoring it to normal levels.

Gently focus your attention on the Third Eye Chakra location.
In silence and calmness, visualize a deep indigo light unfolding here. This is the power hidden in infinite space, the light emitted on a clear night.
Enter the light with your consciousness, letting it immerse more and more in this calm light.
The waves of this light beam will raise your thoughts to a higher, purer frequency, and all distracting thoughts will disappear.
Let yourself sink deeper into the tranquility of this light beam. Your inner self becomes more peaceful as you truly unite with the divine will.
Softly make the “om” sound, while your consciousness is filled with the aura emitted by these peaceful light beams.
Let’s have an inner dialogue with the soul: I am awakened, I understand my destiny, I witness all phenomena without judgment, I transcend time and space, “I am that I am,” “I am” one with the universe, “I” witness.
In this state, you’ll unite with the universal spirit that exists within your self.
