Collection: THIRD EYE CHAKRA

Understanding the Third Eye Chakra/Ajna

Sitting in the center of the forehead, the third eye chakra (also known as the Ajna in Sanskrit) is the seat of our intuition. This is the doorway to our deepest well of inner wisdom, our clarity, and all the knowledge we need to access higher spiritual contemplation. The third eye is the vision that looks inward and beyond the periphery of what our other two eyes can see. Connected to the celebrated and cerebral sixth sense, the third eye is represented by the dreamy color of indigo, it flows with feminine energy, and it’s associated with light and the lotus.

For those who have a third eye chakra block, this is when life may start to get tricky. A blocked third eye chakra comes with side effects that scatter across the physical, emotional, and spiritual realm too. In the physical sense, you may suffer headaches, ear issues, eye problems, your hormones may feel out of whack, and your natural circadian rhythms can be chaos which also leads to insomnia and poor sleep. Emotionally you may feel stressed, anxious, indecisive, stuck, closed-minded, and unable to move forward with any ideas you have.

When our third eye is in check and open wide, we are able to move past the binary of black and white thinking. We remain connected, balanced, and able to see beyond the borders of self-limiting beliefs. In small ways, we can trust in our decisions, honor our feelings, and hold clarity for the bigger picture in life.

Powerful gems that stimulate the pineal gland and help us connect to our own wisdom are the best cut choices for the third eye chakra. You want stones that are all about rousing clairvoyant properties, calling on the mystique, and turning your gaze inwards for deeper vision. Take a look at these impeccable crystals for the third eye chakra.

Amethyst calms frustrations, cuts out headaches, and brings sweet blissful sleep.
