The third eye corresponds to the sixth Chakra known as Ajna. To be able to have a balanced life, it is said that we have to open or stimulate all the chakras of our body. On this occasion we will analyze the third eye and how we can stimulate it so that we can open to its power.
The power of the third eye
The stimulation of the third eye implies being able to develop an intuition or perception higher than we can normally have. In turn, we can mention that it is related to the pineal gland and that is the one that allows us to reach a state of high illumination. The third eye is directly linked to the power of the sixth Ajna chakra.
It is important to have opened our third eye or Ajna chakra, since it is the one that allows us to “see the truth”. Precisely our intuition has to allow us to reach the true knowledge of what we can’t understand or what we can’t see clearly.
The manifestation of the imbalance
How do we identify when our third eye is unbalanced? It is easy, if we feel that we are over-thinking that would be the first sign. Many times we do not sleep well or we have nightmares that create stress during the night.
On the other hand, we may feel lost, or contradictory about what to do. Usually the people who have this closed chakra are those who rationalize or need to rationalize everything that happens. This creates a lot of frustration as feelings arise and it is often difficult to define them.
How to balance our third eye?
In order to stimulate our perception we first need to balance it. The best exercises to stimulate our third eye are all those that help us not to think.
Many times the thinking is tricky and the only thing that generates us are patterns or refers us to moments of the past. At other times it makes us project future moments in the short or long term. It must have happened to all of you that you had an assumption and consequently their mind set up a scene that generated negative emotions. Surely, when they came to the facts, it had nothing to do with what you had thought. This is a clear example of why we have to learn to control our mind.
We recommend meditation, reiki and yoga to stimulate the third eye. All activities that connect us with breathing. Meditation gives us a body posture that involves keeping our eyes closed in a balanced posture. We need to sit up straight by aligning the spine. In this way energy flows freely between our body and mind. In this process, we must learn to let go of our thoughts.
There are many mantras that can accompany our meditation that are special for balancing or opening our third eye. However it is important to keep in mind that meditation is not easy and will take time but believe me that once reached the state of inner peace, it will help a lot to feel full and connect with the higher energy.
Conclusion
Finally, we can say that the third eye is the one that allows us to trust our intuition in order to achieve enlightenment. In India, people mark their third eye with sandalwood powder or other natural elements. This is called tilak. This part of our body is very important, so if you are in the process of stimulating it and feel an inner heat in that part of your head, do not feel fear; it means that energy is flowing within you. Namasté!
