Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is connected to your perception. When this chakra is open, you can experience clairvoyance, clear thinking and focus. You can also experience empathy for others and trust in oneself when this chakra is balanced.

When your Third Eye Chakra is closed or out of balance, you can depend on others and can feel confused and insecure about making decisions. You can also experience frequent daydreams, sleep problems, lack of assertiveness and fatigue as you can see from this – How To Open The Third Eye Chakra article.

Meditation

A simple meditation for balancing the Third Eye Chakra:

Sit cross-legged, in a chair with your feet planted on the ground, or lay down.
Lay your hands on your lap or at your sides with your palms facing up.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath, hold, count to four, and slowly exhale.
Using your “inner eyes”, look up and focus on the area in the center of your forehead.
Visualize the Third Eye Chakra opening as you see a purple or indigo ball of light expanding this chakra. You may feel a tingling sensation.
See it in expanding and cleansing your Third Eye Chakra.
After some time, reduce the size of this ball to fit within your third eye area.
Continue this meditation for as long as you feel necessary.
