Unblock the third eye chakra

The third eye chakra, also known as the "eyebrow chakra", is the 6th energy center from the bottom, located in the middle of your head, between the eyebrows. A healthy third eye chakra vibrates the color of indigo or royal blue, with light as the dominant element.

The third eye chakra controls your ability to perceive, think creatively, and use your intuition. It also governs self-awareness, self-realization, imagination, and the ability to envision all your dreams.

Healing and awakening your third eye chakra offers you many exciting gifts, such as the ability to manifest material things through thought alone or greater potential for astral projection and lucid dreaming.

Unblocking your third eye chakra will allow you to discover the reality that lies beyond the physical world and the realm of your five senses.

Healing and opening the third eye chakra is a beautiful process, as it allows you to finally take full control of your reality and clarify your inner vision.

Eventually, you will be able to manifest anything you desire in your life, easily and effortlessly, by using the power of your mind and becoming a visionary.

In this article we will look at some of the tools and techniques you can use to unblock and open your third eye chakra.

1. Third Eye Chakra Meditation

Meditation is probably one of the best ways to awaken your third eye chakra, as it helps create better coherence between the two hemispheres of your brain. Meditation, when practiced correctly, gives your thinking mind a break and shifts your brain waves from the beta state to the alpha state.

As a result, you will begin to think for yourself, trust your intuition with more certainty, and look within yourself for the answers to your problems. When you commit to practicing the meditation of your choice regularly, you will be more connected to your inner guidance system and discover your deepest wisdom.

There are many meditation techniques that I have personally tried. However, in this article, I will give you just one, which is super simple and very powerful for opening your third eye. This method is known as concentration mediation, and it is described in Osho's book "The Secret of The Golden Flower".

Here is how to practice it, according to the teaching of Master Lu-tsu:

Sit (or lie down) quietly in the comfortable position of your choice, and for 15 minutes, focus all of your awareness on the center of your third eye (the area between your eyebrows).

You can do this with your eyes closed or open, whatever works best for you. You can visualize a third eye chakra lotus symbol, a sphere of indigo light, or simply focus on the space itself. To see results from this practice, you must commit to practicing 15 minutes a day.

Why is this simple meditation so powerful for the third eye?

Taoists believe that when your attention is outward, you are constantly expending your energy and, as a result, you become more and more empty inside.

When you focus all of your attention and awareness on your third eye center, all of your awareness flows inward, and you can move energy (light) in a circle.

The light is supposed to flow in both directions at the same time so you don't burn out and turn into a "black hole."

2. Open your third eye by breathing

There are many types of breathing techniques described in more detail on this blog (you can check them out in my article Heart Chakra Healing Guide ).

Certain breathing techniques are beneficial for all the higher chakras because they help move kundalini (life force) energy from the lower chakras to the higher chakras. Here are my top recommendations for the most helpful breathing techniques for healing your third eye:

Alternate nostril breathing (also known as Nadi Shodana).

This cleansing breathing technique works great for your third eye chakra because it directly activates your Ida and Pingala (subtle energy channels that come together in your head). Alternate nostril breathing can be used to release trapped energy from your lower chakras and calm the mind. Nadi shodana will allow you to experience soft and refreshing sensations throughout your body.

Breath of Fire (also known as Kapalabhati Pranayama)

This is a powerful, detoxifying breathing technique, which involves a series of short, powerful nasal inhalations (the exhalation is passive). Breathing fire is very often practiced during kundalini yoga exercises. It helps increase blood flow to the head, detoxify the body and bring more clarity to your mind.

Breathing Techniques Activating DMT

These methods are sometimes practiced during kundalini yoga exercises or prolonged breathing sessions, where you combine hyperventilation techniques with breath retention techniques.

One of the most popular DMT breathing techniques today is the Wim Hof ​​breathing method. It involves a few sets of deep inhalations and exhalations (30 cycles of hyperventilation) with breath retention periods of 30 to 90 seconds (or more).

Some of the DMT breathing techniques involve squeezing the muscles of the perineum during the breath holding phase and pushing energy from the lower chakras up to the third eye center.

If you are interested in learning some of the more advanced DMT breathing techniques, be sure to consult an expert in this field as they can produce altered states of consciousness!

Gamma Breathing

This technique consists of 4 breathing cycles, where you alternate between breathing through your mouth and through your nose. Gamma breathing shifts your brain into the gamma state.

Gamma brain waves are of the highest frequency in our brain (40-200Hz), and they are much more active in experienced meditators. This breathing is very easy and very effective in achieving ultimate brain coherence, which is very beneficial for healing the third eye chakra.

3. Third Eye Chakra Affirmations

The third eye chakra is very sensitive to affirmations because they directly affect your subconscious and allow you to see the power of your own thoughts.

Try some of these powerful third eye chakra affirmations, which can be used throughout the day or during your meditation to strengthen this energy center:

• I am insightful and intuitive.
• I see clearly.
• I think clearly.
• I always honor and follow my intuition.
• I am a conscious creator of my own reality.
• I am connected to my higher self.
• Everything I need is within me.
• I calm my mind with ease to hear the whispers of intuition.
• I am aware of my dreams, and they guide me.
• I am confident in my decisions.
• I am open to the ideas and perspectives of others.
• I nourish my mind.
• I am constantly expanding my consciousness.
• I am introspective and evaluate myself honestly.

4. Yoga Poses for the Third Eye Chakra

Yoga is a great way to work on the third eye chakra, as certain physical postures (asanas) will allow you to improve the flow of energy in your body and put some pressure on the forehead area.

Yoga also improves oxygen flow to your brain, as most yoga exercises involve working with your breathing. Here are some of the best yoga poses for opening the third eye chakra:

• Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
• Child's pose (Balasana)
• Lying Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana)
• Pincer pose (Paschimottanasana)
• Abdominal pressure (Apanasana)
• Leg posture in wall pose (Viparita Karani)
• Headstand (Sirsasana)

5. Open the third eye thanks to lucid dreams

You may be wondering what the relationship is between lucid dreaming and the third eye chakra?

The third eye chakra is directly linked to your pineal gland, which regulates your circadian rhythm, melatonin production, and many other important bio-rhythms in your body. This gland also has light photoreceptors, just like your eyes (the primary element of the third eye chakra is light).

Activating your pineal gland is one of the keys to unlocking your creative imagination and being able to enjoy the world of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a practice that allows you to become aware of your dreams.

Many people who have decided to become aware of their dreams believe that dreams can help you find who you really are and what your life's purpose is.

If you are interested in the topic of lucid dreaming, I will give you some valuable tips on how to get started, as I have done extensive research in the past:

• Spend a lot of time each day reading about lucid dreaming. New information will prime your subconscious and prepare it for an exciting new experience.
• Start a “Dream Journal” and put it next to your bed. Work on improving your dream memory by writing down the details of each dream you have had.
• Perform numerous “reality checks” throughout the day by saying the words “Am I dreaming?” and always seek to justify your answer.
• Avoid blue light and bright artificial light one hour before bed.
• Set a firm intention to lucid dream and remember your dreams right before you fall asleep.
• Check out materials (books and videos) from Stephen LaBerge and Michael Raduga on lucid dreaming.
• There are a lot of generic lucid dreaming videos on YouTube, but I found most of them very vague and unclear.

Symptoms of Opening the Third Eye Chakra

One of the main symptoms of opening your third eye chakra is increased self-awareness. Your level of intuition will sharpen, and you will gradually begin to notice more synchronicities, coincidences, and red flags in your life.

When your third eye begins to open, you also sense the moods of others from a distance. At the same time, you stop judging others because you realize that "we are all One" and that the outside world is your mirror. Your creative visualization skills begin to improve, so it becomes easier and easier for you to manifest the future you want.

With the opening of your third eye, you will also experience increased sensitivity to light and sound in your waking life and in your dreams. Everything becomes more alive and you start to see yourself in a different light.

Opening your third eye is a beautiful process that will allow you to discover limitless possibilities beyond your imagination. Once your third eye is fully opened, and if used correctly, there will be no limit to what you can achieve with this gift.
