How to Open Your Third Eye

The third eye refers to the gate that leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. In spirituality, the third eye often symbolizes a state of enlightenment or the evocation of mental images having deeply personal spiritual or psychological significance.

In Hinduism, the third eye symbolizes a higher state of consciousness through which you can perceive the world. Using traditional meditation techniques, you can open up this chakra and gain a deeper, more enlightened understanding of the universe around you.

The pineal gland is a pea-sized gland shaped like a pine cone located in the vertebrate brain near the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Also known as the third eye, it is a revered tool of seers and mystics and is considered to be the organ of supreme universal connection. Its significance appears in every ancient culture throughout the world. For example, in Ayurvedic philosophy, the third eye is represented by the Ajna chakra. In Ancient Egypt, the symbol of the Eye of Horus mirrors the placement of the pineal gland in the profile of the human head. The third eye is connected to clarity, concentration, imagination and intuition.

Six Ways To Awaken Third Eye

Through decalcification and activation, reclaim your path to ecstatic bliss and union with your source:

Avoid fluoride

Pay close attention to the water in your life: tap water is a source of fluoride, which contributes to pineal gland calcification. Fluoridated toothpaste is another prominent source of fluoride in modern diets, as are inorganic produce and artificial drinks made with impure water. Consider adding water filters to your sink and shower faucets.

Supplement your diet

The list of supplements that support and detoxify the third eye is long and includes raw cacao, goji berries, garlic, lemons, watermelon, bananas, honey, coconut oil, hemp seeds, cilantro, seaweed, honey, chlorella, spirulina, blue-green algae, raw apple cider vinegar, zeolite, ginseng, borax, Vitamin D3, bentonite clay and chlorophyll are all ingredients that aide purification of the pineal gland.

Use essentials oils

Many essential oils stimulate the pineal gland and facilitate states of spiritual awareness, including lavender, sandalwood, frankincense, parsley and pine. Essential oils may be inhaled directly, added to body oil, burned in a diffuser and added to bathwater.

Sungaze

The sun is a great source of power. Gaze gently at the sun during the first few minutes of sunrise and the last few minutes of sunset to boost your pineal gland.

Meditate and chant

Meditation activates the pineal gland through intention: consider visualizing the decalcification of the pineal gland, as its sacred nature is illuminated and directly connected to the source. Chanting causes the tetrahedron bone in the nose to resonate, which causes stimulation of the pineal gland. Considering chanting “Om,” also known as the sound of the universe, 108 times each day.

Collaborate with crystals

Crystals are influential allies in the quest to awaken the third eye. Use crystals and gemstones in the purple, indigo and violet colour palette. This colour palette serves to awaken, balance, align and nurture the third eye. Try amethyst, purple sapphire, purple violet tourmaline, rhodonite and sodalite. Place the crystal or gemstone between and slightly above the brow during meditation.

Let your intuition shine.

Once you begin working with your third eye, you will receive guidance messages and visions. Strive to have the courage to follow through on what your intuition offers; your third eye strength will only grow.
