Third Eye Chakra Meditation

Third Eye chakra is known as Ajna in Sanskrit and it means command. The three nadis i.e., Ida (Moon) on the left, Pingala (Sun) on the right, and Sushumna in between merge at this chakra, and it’s called Mukta Triveni. This chakra centers our minds and brings in peace and stability.

This chakra is located in between brows and deals with intuition, psychic senses, wisdom, intellect, clairvoyance, detachment, insight, and understanding. Most healers focus on cultivating a strong and balanced Third Eye chakra.

It’s this chakra which helps you see situations, events, things, and people with clarity, just the way they are. When the Third Eye chakra opens toward the outside, it helps you see others as they are; when it opens toward the inside, it awakens your side of nature and you start knowing yourself better – your strength and limitations are all projected to you when you open your chakra inside.

Balanced Third Eye Chakra

With a balanced Third Eye chakra, one really doesn’t have a problem expressing themselves. They are experts in offering their advice when asked for. They know what they want from their lives and don’t mind asking for it, and in turn, they also get it with ease. They voice their opinion in a manner no one gets offended and are not afraid to accept their weakness. People with balanced Third Eye chakra tend to remain aloof, uninvolved, detached, accepting the situation as it is, and stop reacting to it. If not balanced with the sweetness of emotions, people might tend to imbalance this chakra.

Overactive Third Eye Chakra

People with overactive Third Eye chakra tend to yell a lot and are very opinionated. They are verbally abusive and don’t give others a chance to speak their mind.

Underactive Third Eye Chakra

Here people are unable to express themselves leading to misunderstanding. Telling the truth is not one of their strengths thus they tend to say something and end up doing different things.

Here I am presenting a meditation that will help you keep your Third Eye chakra balanced. You will require an internet connection and a Youtube channel, a picture of the chakra, a candle diffuser, and a blue color candle essential oil. Though they are optional, it gives an added touch to the whole meditation.

Third Eye Chakra Meditation

• Sit in a relaxed and comfortable position in a clean place.
• You can sit in a mudra governing the Third Eye chakra.
• You can start instrumental music relating to Third Eye chakra from Youtube if it doesn’t disturb you.
• You can light an indigo color candle. You can add an essential oil like Clary Sage, Cypress, Elemi, Juniper, etc to the candle diffuser.
• Take three deep breaths and start looking at the Third Eye chakra symbol for few minutes and then slowly close your eyes and calm yourself taking in deep breathes till you feel you are ready to start with your meditation.
• Start with imagining a beautiful shade of indigo at the Third Eye chakra and chant the beej mantra “OM” for a few minutes.
• You can start with chanting “OM” at a higher pitch with prolonged “M”. Let the sound get absorbed in your system.
• Then as you breathe in and out, deeply ask the inner light of your holy spirit to cleanse and dissolve all the darkness from your Third Eye chakra by saying: “I am willing to release the fear of seeing the future. I am willing to release all fear of seeing the truth.”
• Then start saying the affirmations (listed below) that you resonate the most and repeat them as many times as you can depending on the time you have. The more you say these affirmations, the quicker the results.
  • I hear my intuition. I trust my inner teacher and follow his/her guidance.
  • I am my own spiritual truth.
  • I let my ‘sixth sense’ guide me.
  • I easily hear the voice of my soul.

  • I am clear.
  • I trust my intuition.
  • I am intuitive.
  • I have a healthy mind.
  • I am connected to my true path and purpose. I am able to clearly state my need.
• Imagine as if your Third Eye chakra is perfectly balanced and that all your concerns have been healed. Be in this mode for a few minutes.
• Take a deep breath and state: “I now clearly hear, accept, and follow the guidance that comes to me for my highest and best good. I work in perfect partnership with the voice of Spirit, now and always.”
• Be in this moment for few minutes. Smile and slowly and gently open your eyes.

Other techniques for balancing Third Eye Chakra are as follows

• Sitting in a meditative mode in sunlight, lying quietly with an eye pillow, trying out logical puzzles or brain training exercises are helpful in balancing the Third Eye chakra.
• Play ‘A’ note on any musical instrument.
