The Sixth Chakra: Learning to See with Your Third Eye

Have you ever felt like something just wasn’t right? Maybe it was a meeting you had with a potential client that just felt “off” energetically. Or maybe you were walking somewhere new and somehow you just had a gut feeling that you should turn around and walk the other way?

That’s your intuition; that all-knowing spiritual center of knowing that guides you. This is your sixth or third eye chakra and is located in the space between your eyebrows. It is the connection between your inner and outer being.

When your sixth chakra is open it allows you the power of clairvoyance, telepathy, lucid dreaming, and helps you expand your imagination. However, when it is blocked, you feel foggy and find it difficult to make decisions. And even when you make a decision, you may just linger in a state of inactivity, as you can’t decide if you’re making the right one or not.

Physically, the third eye chakra when blocked may cause headaches, eye and ear issues, or nasal congestion. Because of the chakra’s connection to the brain, the fine line between fantasy and reality can appear to be blurred when this chakra is blocked.

Here are some things you can do to open up your sixth chakra and begin really seeing with your third eye:

  • Purple is the color of the sixth chakra. So, surround yourself with purple by wearing purple clothes, sitting a purple orchid in your space, or eating purple foods. These would include eggplant, purple kale, purple grapes, purple peppers, raisins, blueberries, and plums.
  • Amethyst, quartz, or lapis gems can help to open up the third eye, so hold one in your hand as you are meditating. 
  • Try using your creativity to unblock the channels of your third eye. This could be anything from creative writing to trying your hand at an art project. Even an adult coloring book will help get your creative juices flowing.
  • Essential oils can help open up chakras. For the sixth chakra, try putting nutmeg, juniper, or sandalwood oil between your eyes, in the center of your forehead to activate the third eye.
  • Add yoga poses that concentrate on the shoulders and incorporate forward bends, such as downward dog.

We are all born with an innate sense of intuition. But, in today’s modern world of technology and being bombarded with information 24/7, it can be easy to lose our inner knowledge and cave into outside influences, losing that inner knowledge we were born with. Finding balance in our third eye can open us up to a whole new way of seeing ourselves and the world around us.
