"Wait, what?"



Welcome to Day 6 of our chakra healing series, where today, we'll journey into the Third Eye Chakra—your seat of intuition, inner vision, and higher insight. In times like these, with unexpected challenges and shifting world events, feeling grounded in your own wisdom and perspective can be more crucial than ever. Amid uncertainty, when the future feels clouded and outcomes are surprising, connecting to this powerful chakra can bring a deep sense of clarity and trust in your path forward.



Understanding the Third Eye Chakra



Located in the center of the brow, the Third Eye Chakra is linked with the color indigo, associated with the suit of swords in Tarot, and the pineal gland—a small, pea-shaped gland in the brain thought to play a role in regulating your biological clock, sleep-wake cycles, and even spiritual awareness. The pineal gland is sometimes called the “seat of the soul” and has been connected to your psychic senses: clairvoyance (clear seeing), claircognizance (clear knowing), and even telepathy.




“Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.”
paulo coelho



The Third Eye Chakra governs “inner seeing,” allowing you to visualize, imagine, and understand beyond the limits of the physical senses. By tuning into this chakra, you access higher wisdom and intuition, providing you with guidance that transcends what can be perceived with your physical eyes. It offers clarity, helping you navigate life from a place of greater insight rather than reacting with fear or anxiety to the unknown.



Seeing Beyond Appearances



The gift of the third eye chakra is the ability to see truth beyond illusion. This chakra allows you to read energy and understand the deeper meanings behind people, places, and events. Words and appearances can be misleading, but the energy sensed through the Third Eye is direct and clear. This chakra helps you to discern between what is real and what is illusion, empowering you to look beyond superficial judgments or fears.



When your Third Eye Chakra is in balance, you see the world with clarity and perspective, remaining calm even in uncertain situations. You step into the role of an observer, gathering wisdom and insight instead of becoming emotionally overwhelmed. With a strong Third Eye, you become more open to understanding situations as they truly are, appreciating the nuances and depth in yourselves and others.



Imagination and Manifestation



Your Third Eye is also a powerful center for imagination, creativity, and manifestation. Everything you create in life begins as a vision in the mind’s eye, making this chakra the gateway to turning dreams into reality. When you activate third eye energy, you fuel your capacity to envision and bring your desires into focus. By connecting to this center, you tap into your own potential as creator, imagining new possibilities and paths for your future.




"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration."
nikola tesla



Visualization exercises are a wonderful way to stimulate this chakra. By picturing your goals and dreams, you build mental pathways that make these visions more accessible and achievable. This practice also helps calm your mind and alleviate anxiety about the unknown, focusing your energy on what you wish to bring to life instead.



I like to say that worrying is using your imagination in reverse: it’s just as powerful, but it channels your focus in an unhelpful direction.
