How To Activate Your Third Eye And Strengthen Your Intuition
Learning how to activate your third eye and strengthen your intuition is an important practice for living magically. Some of the benefits of an activated third eye are clarity, concentration, explicitness, bliss, intuition, decisiveness and insight.
The third eye has been linked to lucid dreaming, astral projection, quality of sleep, enhanced imagination and aura viewing. A blocked third eye (or ajna chakra) is said to lead to confusion, uncertainty, cynicism, jealousy and pessimism.
Your third eye is located in the center of your forehead and is the home of your pineal gland. The pinal gland governs your innate intuitive abilities and your connection to nature and HER circadian rhythms.
The pineal gland is affected by light and stimulation and is believed to increase psychic ability. It is said that through an open and vibrant third eye, the highest source of ethereal energy can enter. While the physical eyes perceive the physical world, the third eye sees divine truth — ONENESS with an unyielding connection to spirit.
So my lovely…. TODAY is a great day to begin working on activating your third eye and strengthening your intuition, don’t you think?
If you haven’t worked with your third eye, begin the activation practice by closing your eyes and sending gratitude to your third eye. for a few days. Next move on to spending approximately 10 minutes each day consciously activating your third eye through meditation, chanting, prayer, dance or yoga.
Sacred Practice
1. First choose a favorite gemstone(s) for third eye wisdom; my suggestions are any of the following: amethyst, blue kyanite, blue aventurine, lapis lazuli, peacock ore, indigo agate, or an indigo or purple stone of your choosing.
Lapis lazuli or blue kyanite are my top pick stones to use for third eye awakening, however I encourage you to try a few different stones and see which ones feel the best to you.
2. Next anoint your gemstone with a ritual oil of your choosing moving in a clockwise direction. My favorite essential oil for the third eye center is frankincense; it’s a perfect scent for meditation and centering.
3. Lie down and get comfortable, take your anointed gemstone and place it on your third eye. Close your eyes.
4. Visualize divine light (I see it as white light) coming down from Source and entering your third eye through the gemstone, filling it with divine power. When you feel full of divine energy, say on of the following affirmations:

Hi Lisa! I really like the short and sweet instructions, perfect! Where can we buy gemstones and ritual oil?
Thank you Lisa! Living magically and like a goddess does NOT have to be fussy, that is for sure. I purchase my gemstones from various suppliers but the first thing I do when I receive them is to make sure to cleanse and consecrate them before I use them for meditation or energetic work. Regarding the essential oils I use this Frankincense Essential Oil:http://amzn.to/1uAidpZ and the Lapis Lazuli gemstone:http://amzn.to/1tLDomW
Hi Lisa – Love the message about tuning into our 3rd eye. As the official “tour guide” and leader of yoga nidra sessions, this is such a powerful practice. You’ve got some amazing tips to make the journey even that much better. I like the idea of adding the gemstones. Do you have a preferred store that you use to get yours?
Thanks,
Peggy
