Third Eye Chakra – Ajna

Unlocking Intuition and Inner Vision

This week, we are diving into the Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna in Sanskrit, the energy center associated with intuition, insight, and perception beyond the physical realm. It governs our ability to see beyond the surface, trust our inner guidance, and tap into deeper levels of consciousness.

A Personal Experience: The Power of Dreams

Our dreams when we sleep are often seen as a window into the subconsciousness mind. I had a dream back in high school where our women’s locker room was turned into a swimming pool. Me and a couple of friends were under the water floating and breathing like we had gills. A guy I had a crush on came into view from above the water. He jumps into the water two different times to save each of my friends. Then they all stared at me, turned around, and walked away. I remember feeling sad and questioning myself, “Why didn’t I get saved?”

Upon waking, I woke up breathing shallow deep breaths like I was still under water. A few days later I realized intuitively that my dream was telling me, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. This guy isn’t worth waiting for because he has other girls after him.

I felt my dream was guiding me to trust my intuition and acknowledge the deeper truths within myself. The third eye chakra is all about seeing beyond illusions and connecting with our inner wisdom. Have you ever had a dream that felt more like a message than just random images? That’s your Third Eye communicating with you.

Understanding the Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is located between the eyebrows and is often represented by the color indigo. It governs intuition, perception, imagination, and spiritual awareness. When balanced, it allows for clear vision—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. It helps us trust our instincts, make wise decisions, and connect with higher realms of consciousness.

Signs of an Imbalanced Third Eye Chakra

• Overactive: Can manifest as overthinking, delusions, difficulty distinguishing reality from illusion, or even headaches and dizziness.
• Underactive/Blocked: Leads to a lack of clarity, difficulty making decisions, feeling disconnected from intuition, or struggling with imagination and visualization.

How to Balance Your Third Eye Chakra

• Meditation & Visualization: Practicing guided meditations that focus on the third eye can enhance intuitive abilities.
• Essential Oils: Violet or rose gerenium help open and activate this energy center.
• Crystals: Peacock ore (one of my favorite stones) is a good stone for balancing the third eye chakra because it has benefits of helping us find ways of pursuing our dreams, and helps us make decisions that will sever our highest good.
• Journaling Dreams & Intuitive Thoughts: Keeping a dream journal can help uncover subconscious messages and strengthen your inner vision.
• Eating Indigo Colored Foods: Figs, eggplants, and red cabbage can subconsciously help heal the third eye chakra.
• The Color Indigo: Wearing or surrounding yourself in an environment with the color indigo can heighten this energy center.

Learning to trust self.

Inner guidance and wisdom.

My dreams flow through me.

Looking Ahead: The Crown Chakra

As we continue our journey through the chakras, next week, we’ll explore the Crown Chakra, the gateway to divine connection and universal consciousness. While the Third Eye allows us to see beyond the physical, the Crown Chakra takes us even further—connecting us to pure enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Stay tuned!
