At the most basic level your body is made up of energy.
In other words that energy organizes
and condense itself into the physical body
that you see today in the mirror.
But before it does that it organizes itself
in the meridians and chakras.
Chakras are centers of energy
that are organized along these energy channels.
Each one has a specific vibration
and lends to a specific purpose.
Essentially each chakra is a specific expression
of prana, which is life force energy.
But what most people dont know about chakras
is that they both emit
and receive energy.
"How to open your third eye chakra"
When a chakra is out of alignment,
meaning that it is creating an imbalance
or is not letting life force in,
it creates massive imbalances
in the entire being.
Including the physical body
and the emotional body
and the mental body.
When chakras are out of alignment
they appear small, they do not absorb
or emit much energy.
They also change in colour,
patterning texture and sound.
The traditional name for the sixth chakra,
in the system, is Ajna.
This translates, from sanskrit
into perceive or beyond wisdom,
which alludes to what the chakra is all about.
Its all about Clairvoyance.
To locate the chakra just find your brow ridge
It's that part of your forehead
that protrudes around your eyebrows
or at the same location as your eyebrows.
Which you want to do is to trace this
go slightly up where you'll feel a tiny indentation
in the bottom center of your forehead.
Most people have that slight identation
in perfect correlation with/ where their
third eye chakra is located.
This chakra, the third eye chakra is
the sixth chakra in the energy system,
the primary energy system.
We may be getting into the other chakras
which are outside the primary system, later.
But now do you understand
where the idea of sixth sense came from?
The concept of the sixth sense
came from this sixth chakra, your third eye
Which is all about intuition.
When this chakra is open
we not only see but also understand
our inner and outer world.
Fitting in nicely to the theme of clairvoyance
this chakra governs clarity,
intuition,
self- realization,
observation,
astral travel,
lucid dreaming,
concentration,
witnessing
and imagination.
It's also the seat of the conscience
This means it governs not only awareness
of what is truly happening but also what it means.
What I find to be the greatest implication for this chakra,
however is that this chakra
is designed to transcend
duality and polarity.
It is a unifying chakra,
much like the heart chakra.
Most of the time we are so identifyied with ourselves
that we are stuck in a kind of narcissistic bubble.
We are stuck in our own individual perception.
Now what the third eye chakra does is
it gets us completely outside that,
so that we can
expand our awareness, to such a degree
that we are no longer limited
by our own indiviual perception.
We now can accommodate views
that are completely opposite to our own.
Doing this ends the battle
between different perspectives,
it unifies different perspectives
even completely polarized and opposite perspectives.
That is absolutely amazing.
On top of that
because it is the great unifier in terms of awareness
it also unifys the right and left hemisphere of the brain,
which gets rid of disunited thinking.
You can think of the consciousness
is associated with the third eye
as a kind of light beam
that acts as a razor blade
to cut through illusion.
Because of this it can dismantle any limiting thought
Knowing all this then its obvious,
why this sixth chakra, the third eye chakra,
has been associated with psychic abilities for so long,
because our genuine awareness
goes far far beyond just our physical limitations
and the physical dimension.
So earlier I did this episode on the crown chakra
I've done every chakra besides
this one, in the energy system so far
and what I said or didn't say about the crown chakra
is that no element is associated with the crown chakra.
That's because the crown chakra is seen
as a manifestation of nothingness.
Nothing is no thing.
It is pure potential energy
therefore the colour purple is not
the only thing that relates to the crown chakra,
so is black.
Now when we look at the third eye chakra
it is actually associated with
everythingness and so the element
that the old philosophers
used to associate with the third eye chakra
is actually light,
which is seen as everythingness,
Every thing,
is basically oneness.
They considered light to be
the combination of every other element.
We're talking water,
we're talking fire,
we're talking earth and
we're talking air.
The third eye chakra is also associated
with the colour indigo.
It must be said that organizing
specific parts of the body
that belong to specific channels
and specific chakras and no other chakra,
its a really limited way of seeing things.
Its not the way that the body actually works,
but we have a very difficult time
understanding that different chakras
actually co- govern areas of the body.
So for the sake of your understanding,
I've done my best to try to separate
it out for you a bit,
but it gets a lot more difficult
when you look at the third eye chakra,
a lot more difficult than even the other chakras.
p.e: The third eye chakra
together with the crown chakra
govern the pineal gland,
a bit like a king and a queen
in perfect balance of power
would govern a kingdom.
The pineal gland is a part of the human system that deserves its own episode.
It is so central to the human capacity or inability to perceive
beyond the physical reality,
it is our desire to make things black and white
though, which wants us to say
that a certain chakra governs
a specific part of the body.
That being said, the third eye chakra
greatly influences the pituitary gland
in conjunction with the throat chakra.
Also the hypothalamus,
the eyes,
the frontal sinuses,
many parts of the brain,
especially the outer portions of the brain,
the skull,
ears,
nose,
endocrine system
and parasympathetic nervous system.
So to scare the crap out of you
I'm gonna give you some common things
that are associated with this chakra,
the third eye chakra
being out of alignment.
Some of the most common things
that you'll see are seizures,
you'll see dementia,
you'll see headaches and migraines,
hallucinations,
dissociation,
confusion,
eye problems,
hormon imbalances,
all kind of sleep disturbances,
black and white thinking,
no sense of direction,
prejudices,
strokes,
brain tumors,
sinusitis,
paranoia,
delusions,
anxiety, depression,
cynicism,
closed mindedness,
denial,
skull-, scalp- and hair problems,
ear problems,
learning disabilities,
loss of a sense of conscience or apathy,
rigid perspectives,
lack of ethics,
mental illnesses,
disturbances in appetite
and temperature regulation.
I know I've mentioned this before in my videos
but I'm gonna reiterate it because it's so important.
So many people who will teach you
about chakras, love to tell you
that they have to be in balance and in balance means,
it's possible for a chakra to be too open and too close.
Thats not actually the case.
This is our human sense of need
to control something
through diminishing it in some way.
What`s actually true is
that if all chakras were perfectly open
there would be inherently an equilibrium
established in the energy system.
So what we are looking to do is not to
detract or limit any one of our chakras in any way,
we're looking to make each chakra open
to the utmost capacity
and by each chakra doing that,
we find this kind of homeostasis
that we are wanting to achieve.
All that being said,
how do we open the third eye chakra
and bring it into a state of alingment?
1. Commit to the path of integration.
We could say the enemy of this chakra
is duality and is polarity,
now, ironically i gonna have to take that back later,
because the more aware we become
the less we have any enemy, but
for the sake of your understanding
lack of integration is the enemy of this chakra.
So what we have to do is to end
polarity and duality by getting outside
of our own individual perspective.
We gotta stop identifying with a singular
perceptual reality and that includes
fragments within ourselves
that have an individual perspective.
To understand more about this
I want you to watch my video titled:
"Fragmentation the worldwide disease"
2. We must commit to the path of selfawareness above all.
Why is this?
Because obviously our own projections,
our own fears,
our own limiting thoughts
are going to influence our capacity
to bring in information
from other places in the universe.
We color and distort messages
that are being sent to us because they're coming through
our own perceptual reality.
So the more aware,
of your own perceptual reality, you are
and the more you have broken outside of it
and can actually see yourself,
the better of a channel
for these energies you will be.
Stretch your perspective
no matter how uncomfortable
that may be, this is the order of the day
The more you do this
the less likely misinterpretation
or any kind of false sight will be.
3. Literally any practice that increases your awareness
or stretches your perspective,
is going to enhance your third eye chakra
It makes absolutely no sense for me
to sit here and be like "this is the best one"
because there are so many and obivously
certain people need to stretch their perspectives in this way
and other people need to stretch their perspectives in this way.
But I'll give you some examples
Meditation,
learning something,
chanting,
vizualisation,
exercises that enhance intuiton,
self-questioning,
divination,
lucid dreaming,
dream work,
channeling,
Yoga,
focus exercises,
mindfulness techniques,
art or breath work.
Literally there has never been a video
created by me and never will be a video created by me
that does not increase the opening
of your sixth chakra.
4. Nothing clears the sixth chakra, your third eye more than shadow work.
Why?
Because the third eye chakra is all about awareness
and shadow is the collective
or the individual unconscious,
so they're completely juxtaposed.
Remember how I said that duality and polarity
was the nemesis of the third eye chakra.
Well, the third eye chakra has another nemesis,
that nemesis is illusion.
Up until the day when
your awareness or your perceptual reality
is wide to the degree that it can include
illusion as part of itself.
Now for most of you
that's gonna make absolutely no sense
and because of where most of you are
I'm not going to explain it either
but believe me that when you rewatch this video,
you're gonna laugh at what I just said.
Shadow work is the work of making
the unknown or subconscious known and seen
If you would like more awareness about this, watch my video titled:
"What is shadow work?"
5. Any practice that enhances your intuition and imagination
is gonna do wonders for opening your sixth chakra.
In my opinion the most important first step
that you can take in the direction
of intuition is getting in touch with your feelings,
learning how to feel.
We're living in the emotional Dark Age right now
Most people are so dissociated from their body
that they cant feel the sensations that arrive in their body
and here's the thing
If you are gonna be pulling energy
from other places in the universe,
pulling information,
it still gonna translate through your body.
So perceiving things that exist
beyond the third dimensional reality
is still gonna be translated
through your physical body as a sensation.
And if you can't feel,
if you are dissociated from your feelings
if you're desensitized from your feelings
It's gonna be a lot more quiet of a message
or you're gonna miss the message entirely.
For this reason I suggest you to watch my video titled:
"How to feel"
The next best practice is creating
Now creating can be anything
it can be as simple as creating art
When you're in the process of creating
you are not inhibiting yourself in any way
Your channels are completely open,
not only that you have to use your imagination.
Now when we progress through our life experience
people love to shut down our imagination.
Children are naturally born with a wicked imagination.
Because we don't differentiate between
what we imagine what we can create to be real
but when we start to define that for kids
and we say that's just your imagination and that's what's real
Is that people let go of their imagination,
they let go of their capacity to create with their mind.
Now most of this information
that is gonna be coming to you
especially in the minds eye, to begin with,
its going to stretch your imagination.
You're gonna feel like youre imagining it right?
But if you have a limited imagination
you're not gonna actually going to even
be able to stretch far enough to receive
many of these messages,
that are being given to you
from outside of our time- space reality.
Your mind actually will be so limited
that it can't actually conceive it.
In other words
if you can't be imaginative
the mind's eye is so limited
it will not be able to accommodate
those images, that exist beyond normal sight.
It would be like fitting an ocean through a straw.
6. Get away from or limit your exposure to electric fields and magnetic fields.
Unless you're using them intentionally
This includes your cell phone,
this includes your computer,
this includes electric wires.
The frequency that is being emitted from this
including radiation sources,
affects your sixth chakra the most.
It affects all the chakra system,
but really affects that system.
7. Get sleep.
I know this is easier said than done
for many of us
but this chakra depends upon getting good sleep
So many things that apply
to our sense of awareness in life
are actually the result of our sleeping process.
So when you're doing this,
committing to getting enough sleep
and making sure you're not staying up
when you're not supposed to be staying up
It's important to get sleep in conjunction
with your own circadian rhythms
and if you're in a really healthy state circadian rhythms
you're going to naturally mirror
or mimic the overall cycles of the earth
you are living on , the stars, day and night.
8. Star gazing
For some of you this star gazing
is gonna progress to Sun gazing
Why? because the Sun is a star.
Star gazing is to your third eye chakra
what a bottle cleaner is to a bottle.
it basically flushes the channel
that has clogged up that energy
flow, that naturally comes in through that chakra.
It forces entrainment with those frequency
that transcends human perceptual limitations as well.
9. Silence
Silence is incredibly good
especially for your crown chakra
and for your third eye chakra.
Silence is to the third eye chakra
or your sixth chakra
as fasting is to your sixth chakra.
It is a way of clearing the space and information
inundating the chakra system and senses
so as to make space for us to simply be
in a simply witness state of aware presence.
This enhances our awareness and leads to clarity.
Many of the sages of the old world
went into periods of silence for this very reason.
It creates not only deeper internal peace
but also deep inner listening which leads to awareness
10. Expose yourself to sunlight on a daily basis
Now when it comes to the skin,
it's best to expose the skin to direct sunlight
for a certain amount of time.
I'm not talking go cook yourself
but allow yourself to really absorb the energy
of your primary star
which is called the sun.
And when it comes to the eyes,
some of you will try Sun gazing
but indirect sunlight is okay
The thing is don't wear sunglasses
It does incredible things for your ' sixth chakra
to take those sunglasses off
and let sunlight penetrate through the pupils of your eye.
Not only does allowing sunlight, in this way,
affect just the chakra
but it really affects all the glands
associated with the chakra.
11. Stimulate this chakra with sound.
When it comes to toning
the best for this chakra tent to be shammm
also ohmmm
and thooow.
Now, play around with the pitch
so if I'm doing sham I go (voice up and down)
to I find whatever frequency vibrates
this area of my body
and then if you're doing toning you hold it.
Figure out and play with which one
of these sounds works the best for you.
You can also find binaural beats or different harmonics on the internet
designed specifically for this chakra
and you can also expose yourself to crystal singing bowls,
designed for this chakra.
That being said
the heart chakra is really responsive to music in general
so is this chakra.
This chakra is all about awareness
and listening to all kinds of different types of music
tends to stimulate this area of your body incredibly
Because each time it listens
to a new tone or a new lyirc,
it's gaining awareness of a whole new perspective.
12. The third eye chakra can be stimulated by the colour indigo
and by surrounding yourself with that color and wearing that color.
However
What's a little interesting about this chakra
is that is the most stimulated
by a multitude of different colors.
This chakra loves the concept of rainbow
It likes a bit of everything at once
This means be in environments
with all different vibrant color varieties,
eating a meal that includes all the colors in the spectrum,
decorating your surroundings to be a riot of color instead of monotone.
13. So now that I'm going to talk to you about diet
because diet is important for all of your body, right
but its so important,
so important for your third eye chakra
its insane
and its one of the primary reasons
why you see people who identify themselves as super spiritual or seers,
having such a strict regiment
when it comes to what they consume.
If you want to enhance your third eye chakra
you're gonna have to eat a vegan diet.
Do not eat any processed foods or pesticides,
no refined sugar including alcohol,
which is in fact treated similarly in the body to sugar.
Do not take calcium supplements
or foods with calcium carbonate.
If you feel you need calcium,
take it in the form of sesame seeds,
chia seeds,
sunflower seeds,
almonds,
spinach,
kale
and broccoli.
Limit consumption of fluoride.
This includes not using fluoride toothpaste
and not drinking water
or eating things with fluoride in it.
Chlorine or Bromide
also have to be avoided.
The denser that a food is
and the more grounding it is
the more it's going to polarize or oppose this chakra
This is why so often
when you see people go on these journeys
where they want to use their third eye
to increase their awareness in some way.
They will severely limit or restrict
whatever it is that they are eating.
They want to only go for foods
that are very light that don't create
a grounding in the body
so that they can get out of their body,
so as to gain this type of awareness.
This is why fasting is so incredibly good for this chakra
Here are some other things that you want to include
if you want a super open 3rd eye.
Apple cider vinegar,
foods that are rich in iodine like seaweed,
goji berries,
ginseng,
ginkgo biloba,
gotu kola,
cranberries,
green beans,
spirulina,
chlorella and prunes.
Eat foods that are naturally high in magnesium,
not magnesium phosphate
also eat tamarind fruit,
raw cacao,
coconut oil,
lavender,
blueberries,
eye bright tea,
calendula tea,
elderberry,
rosmary and parsley.
The more natural that a product
or thing is when you take it in
the better it will be for your sixth chakra
and the more easy will be
for the energy to flow in and out of this center of your body
I also want to make a real serious point
you don't want to eat out of plastics or drink out of them
and never touch a microwave.
14. Fasting, I made this point briefly in the point before
but I thought it should be its own point.
Nothing responds to fasting quite like your third eye chakra
Here's why
When you're fasting you're not inundating your body
with anything that grounds it to the physical dimension
So it becomes much much easier for you
to access awareness that is outside the physical dimension.
That being said
Really really important to not use
fasting in an unhealthy way
and so many people especially those that identify themselves as spiritual
use fasting as a way to escape
instead of to deliberately find certain information
Most people who are spiritual
resist the physical dimension.
Fasting is not to be used as a form of escapism
In other words don't use fasting
so as to dissociate from your body
or from your lower chakras,
which is easily done.
But that being said
there is a reason why fasting
is used as a method of creating greater spiritual awareness across cultures.
15. Use essential oils to help this chakra
come into a state of alignment and to stimulate it.
I'm gonna give you a list of those
that I consider to be the ones that enhance your thirdeye the most.
My personal top picks are elderberry seed oil,
almond blossom,
pine,
jasmin,
juniper,
monkshood- be careful with that one,
lupine,
hyazinths,
palo santo,
manuka,
nutmeg,
china aster,
rosewood,
frankincense,
myrrh,
most all of the fruit essential oils,
vanilla,
galbanum,
carrot seeds,
sandalwood,
angelica,
clary sage
and baylaurel.
16. It is of course allways your personal choice
and you have to be very aware
of the legalites of such a decision,
based on what area of the globe you live in.
But shamanic medicines are designed
specifically to open this chakra.
Obviously shamanic medicines affect
all of the energy system as well.
So its not like they just isolated to this,
but they affect the 3rd eye chakra.
So much
that they have been used for thousands and thousands of years
to increase our awareness
and our perspective and our intuition.
So what we're talking about is things like ayahuasca,
Iboga, psilocybin mushrooms and peyote,
just to name a few.
These crash through the blockages
that are preventing your third eye from opening
in a way that some people cannot handle.
So I have to issue a bit of a warning
even though these medicines are amazing
and they have been used for thousands of years
and I have seen them do incredible things myself.
Many people cannot integrate the awareness
when they aren't ready for it.
So what they do basically is
they force this chakra open
and when most people their individual perspectives
hasn't increased of the frequency yet
where they are capable of stretching
their perspective in that way
and then translating that perspective back
into their physical reality,
people can actually quiet easily
slip into a state of psychosis.
So remember when I told you
that when something is out of alignment
you tend to have all of these negative associations
with the third eye chakra, right
So let's say that you dont have a super
developed root chakra
and you go and do one of these medicines
and it opens you so wide
you may see some of this side effects,
that I've listed before,
things like hallucinations,
things like paranoia,
even suicidality can happen as a result
So it's important for you to know
that even though it's an incredible tool
for breaking through the barriers,
it also has some potential risks.
17. Bring certain mineral spirits into your life
These stimulate and enhance your chakras.
So I'm gonna give you a list
of what I consider to be
and yes I do disagree with a great many people on this field about this.
I'm gonna tell you which ones
I consider to be the most stimulating
for the third eye chakra and the first,
the one that I consider to be the absolute best,
is moonstone.
Other stones that also intensely stimulate
the third eye chakra best are Tanzanite,
Opalite,
glass,
iolite,
indigo,
kyanite,
Danburite,
.....diamond,
opal,
blue and purple fluorite,
Alexandrite,
Labradorite,
Moldavite,
Pitalite,
Azurite,
Sapphire
and specific Sodalite stones.
What I mean by specific is that
certain sodalite stones I have seen
Influencing the third eye chakra,
so intensely it has impressed me
but other sodalite stones,
the individual stones themselves,
don't influence it at all.
As always when you're picking up mineral entities
to share your life with
it's best to let your intuition
guide you towards them.
We tend to get locked into an idea
that certain stones affect certain parts of the body
but it can be completely surprising.
A stone that wouldn't be associated
with a specific chakra
for example at all
might actually stimulate that chakra for whatever reason.
So when you're around
looking for these mineral spirits
let your intuition guide you more than
your knowledge about what a specific stone
should or shouldn't do.
By intentionally doing things
that enable your third eye chakra
to open more and more
and come more and more into alignment
you will be setting yourself up
for a path of awareness and awakening.
A path where you are able to expand
your own perspectives to such a degree,
that you are able to end the polarity
that has caused so much suffering on this life on earth
for thousands upon thousands of years.
You will be setting yourself up for a life
that is guided by intuition
a life that is also guided by creativity
which will land you directly on the path of your purpose,
a path of complete possibilities and creation.
And all in your life will benefit as a result on it.
So have a good week :)
