10 Ways to Activate Your Third Eye


theyOften we go through our lives building up a wall to block our visions and insights that could greatly advance or help us, simply because we tend to let our ego's get the best of us. Naturally, we are all born with this divine gift, however, in addition to our ego and fear forcefully closing our intuitive mind, the foods we eat and negative vibrations we absorb on a daily basis sadly lend to the calcification of our third eye. Our Pineal Gland or Third eye, is a physical almond shaped looking eye, that resides within the center of our brain. It is the eye that sees through the sub-conscious mind, recording everything we see and the things that we on this third dimensional plane cannot.

The third eye is often depicted as having a purple triangle housing it, which acts as a barrier from allowing it to become harmed and is often seen in illustrations depicting the symbol of the 'third eye chakra'. In India, woman and men practice wearing the Bindi dot, not just for religious purpose, but because it acts as a reminder to keeping the third eye activated and blocking it from any spiritual harm. By being in constant awareness of your third eye, you are allowing yourself to access and utilize it more freely and continuously, without the fear of "not being able to control your visions," holding you back, as it simply becomes second nature to have it open.

Statistically, children are very perceptive and aware of the spirit realm, with the gift of seeing through the veil with ease, because they have not yet been abused by the harsh words or reactions of society. Children can easily find ways to communicate with angels, deceased loved ones or fairies through their innocence and healthy third eye. Quite often as we grow into adulthood, we forget this ability either by force or ridicule of parents or by free-will so that we may dive into the mundane, not having to 'think' or fathom these sometimes un-seemingly possible abilities.  But why? Why do we allow ourselves to close and lock the door to a tool that can be so beneficial to the better of ourselves?

The good news is that it is still within you and you still hold the power and ability to access the key to this locked door, it may take a couple tries, but it is well worth the knowledge and insight you will gain in the end. I encourage you to work on releasing all negative feelings or emotions you harvest towards obtaining or using your psychic/ clairvoyant abilities. Sometimes this can be hard, as we have spent so many years building up that wall to forget this power. So here, I have compiled a magickal list of tools and exercises you can do daily to improve the clarity of your intuitive guidance. Remember, this is a skill that needs practice to make it perfect, so don't get discouraged if on the first couple tries nothing happens for you; it is all about practice and progress. Secondly, do not doubt, this is your ego getting the best of you. Simply learn from your mistakes and move on. And last, but not least, do not force anything, let it come naturally, patience and listening is key, if you are forcing or rushing this, again it is your ego taking over, so allow it to take a back seat until your practices are complete.

1.) Start using any of these daily affirmations /chants to allow yourself to get re-acquainted & accept the abilities that come with an active third eye. As you do so, hoover your dominant hand over the space between your brows (third eye), sending & visualizing white or indigo healing energy to this 6th chakra.

" I allow myself to see clearly through the veil, I control my visions and know that harm will not prevail, My intuitive wisdom will now set sail, for my psychic abilities will no longer fail. "

OR

"I can see and think clearly, I see that all is well in my world. I see the solutions to situations in my life and make positive changes now! I am the creator of my reality and my dreams are coming true. I am one with the vibration of the Infinite potential of the Universe. "

2.) Change your diet; heavy sugars, processed foods, caffeine, and pesticides/hormones in meats and non-organic fruits and vegetables can really create damage to your pineal gland, calcifying it up, further leading to un-clear or no visions.  Also, try drinking more lemon water and green tea to detox your body daily. If possible, seek out reverse osmosis water containing NO fluoride. Try eating brain foods to enhance your mental clarity.

3.) Surround yourself with crystals that vibrate to the frequency of the third eye. You can wear them as jewelry or simply carry them in your pocket. Creating Crystal Grids for this purpose can also help to draw in intentional third eye healing energy. Some crystals and gemstones that work with the third eye are Amethyst, Purple fluorite, sugilite, lapis luzuli, aquamarine, clear quartz, lolite, azurite, angelite, sodalite, blue aventurine, dumortierite, chiastolite, blue tourmaline, phenacite,  stilbite & more.

4.) Color is a frequency and the Third Eye Chakra (aka) Ajna resonates with an Indigo / Purple color. By surrounding yourself with this color as much as possible you align and harmonize with your Third Eye Chakra, helping to heal and activate it. Try placing purple flowers around your home or office or even lighting a purple candle with the intent of healing your 6th chakra.

5.) Your intuition is a muscle and you must exercise and develop it to see clearly. Meditate on focused energy to your third eye. As your attention centers on healing your third eye, ask it "what is it that you need third eye?" & "what do i need to change to be able to see more clearly, third eye?" be still and listen for the answers. They will come as colors, words, feeling or images. This is the knowledge obtained from within.  So listen, take note and follow with action.

6.) Try using sound therapy to heal your Third Eye Chakra with the ancient 'Thoh' mantra.  In a relaxed & meditative state, Purse your lips and inhale, placing the tip of your tongue to your upper teeth. As you begin to exhale, slowly chant the word 'Thoh' out loud, letting your voice create the vibration between your tongue and teeth. Hold the 'Th' sound as long as your exhale allows, as if you where about to speak the word 'The'. Focus on the intent of awakening your Inner Eye and allow the vibration to stimulate this space. As you do so, make sure your jaw is relaxed and you can also roll your eyes up as if looking at the space between your brows, but do not strain the eyes. Repeat this mantra chant as long as you like, but never in a rush. You can also use sound therapy through Binaural Beats, where you retreat to a quiet and relaxed space, so you can listen to headphones without interruption and fully submerge your mind, body & spirit in the vibrations that Binaural beats has to offer. There are thousands of free videos for this on Youtube, so i encourage you to find the one that works for you. Click here to sample some videos on Youtube.

7.) Heal and enhance your psychic intuition through the use of aromatherapy. Fragrance stimulates something inside of us, whether it is a memory or emotion, it can trigger a certain point in our brain and activate it, if only for that moment. Since ancient times holy men and healers have used the aromatic scents of herbs, oils and resins to help them in deeper mediation, intuitive practices and creating a stronger bond with their God(s). Many herbs, oils and resins can help promote spiritual insight when used as a metaphysical tool, creating a sacred space and calming an overactive mind. Use the aromatic scents of these herbs, oils and resins to help heal & activate your Pineal Gland: Lavender, Angelic Root, Bay Laurel, Clary Sage, Cedarwood, Cypress, Elimi, Frankincense, Myrrh, Helichrysum, Juniper, Mugwort, Marjoram, Patchouli, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Hibiscus

8.) Massage your Third Eye and offer it some loving attention. Again in a relaxed environment, sitting in a comfortable position, use your dominant (male) hand to gently massage the space between your brows. As you do so imagine divine white healing light being channeled from your root & crown charkra, and directed through the hand you are massaging with and into your third eye. Speak to your third eye and find harmony with it. You can say something as simple as " Third eye, I thank you for your guidance, wisdom & insight." Truly feel each word with your heart, as you allow your kind words and the healing divine light to flow towards your inner eye.

9.) Start exercising your intuitive muscle through the art of divination.  When you have a question at hand, you can use the smoke of incense as a tool. Soften your gaze and look "through or past" the smoke, while it eases you into a trance, listen for the answer and allow it to come forth. See the answer with your mind's eye. You can also practice this with crystal ball gazing or scrying mirrors. Practice looking past these tools in a calm & meditative state, allowing your intuition to speak loud and clear. You may not always be right, but you will begin to learn the signs and symbols, as which spirit communicates to you through your intuition / third eye. You can also practice your intuitive work through these exercises that will enhance your psychic abilities. By finding a partner who is not close minded and has great energy that you feel comfortable being around, you may practice on one another. A simple intuitive game of guessing what is on the back of an index card will greatly help to exercise this muscle. By having your partner draw an image, letter, word or number on the back of index cards, you are allowing your mind to call upon your intuition and "feel" what is on the back of the card. You can also perform this exercise by putting an item in a box, and attempting to see 'through' the box. There should be no rush to this exercise and no wrong answers. Simply focus on what you got right and the sensations you did pick up on and keep moving forward. This is a practice, not an assignment you will be graded on. If your partner is open to it, you may also work on medical intuition, scanning the body with your mind and an open heart. While both are sitting comfortable and faced to one another, begin to scan your partner slowly with your mind, searching for any indicators for a sense of heat, pain or perhaps flashes of red. When you spot  or feel something, call upon divine light to help clear, remove and heal this problem. Working from head to feet, focus on healing your partner wherever you feel is intuitively needed.  When you feel you are complete with this sometimes lengthy process, you may note where you saw any issues and see if your partner confirms these points of pain or sickness.

10.) Heal your Spiritual insight through spending time in nature. The third eye craves the healing energies of nature; vitamin D from the sun can help to un-calcify your pineal gland, while boosting your energy and enthusiasm for life; The gentle breeze can soothe the soul and flowing waters can cleanse your spirit. It is so important to make time to be outside in nature for your mind, body and spirit to become in unity, allowing for clearer visions and psychic wisdom to flow to you.

Once your third eye is in balance you will notice & experience synchronicities all around you, as precious gifts and messages from your spirit guides. You will better understand that you are the creator of your own reality and that nothing is a coincidence.  You will  begin experience higher states of consciousness and awareness, creating vivid or lucid dreams and even astral projection. When your third eye becomes in harmony with your other chakras, you will start to become very intuitive, learn easily, have a great memory and understand the vibrations of others, before they even speak.  The physical symptoms of an out of balance third eye could lead to Brain cysts, tumors, strokes, blindness, deafness, seizures, insomnia, learning disabilities, spinal dysfunction, panic, depression, addiction, migraines, headaches, dizziness, nausea, sinus problems, ear aches, hormonal imbalance and equilibrium dysfunction.

Remember tension on the surface of your forehead between the brow area is normal, if for some reason you start to get headaches, pray to your angels to lift the pain so that you can further your practices. Think of the third eye like a muscle, if you haven't exercised a certain muscle in a long while, you can be prone to tension, soreness or cramping, so make sure not to over-exert yourself and work at a steady pace. You will soon be on the road to awakening & using your Third Eye for the benefit of a healthy and happier life.

In Love & Light,
