How to Unblock the Third Eye Chakra

How to unblock the Third Eye chakra

1. 1

   Work with color-matched crystals

   Hold or wear Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Moonstone at the between the eyebrows. The tradition pairs the Third Eye chakra with indigo stones.

2. 2

   Move with Light-element yoga

   Child's Pose with Third Eye on mat (Balasana), Dolphin Pose, Eagle Pose (Garudasana), arms only. These poses are traditionally associated with opening the Third Eye chakra.

3. 3

   Meditate on the center

   Work this one in the dark. Turn the lights off, or simply wait until it has got properly late, and put an indigo stone somewhere you know it is without being able to see it. Then close your eyes and let the darkness behind them be the entire field, and do not go looking for anything in it. Ajna takes not an element seed sound but OM itself, the whole of sound gathered at one center, and the tradition held that this eye opened through surrender rather than effort. Which in practice means the harder you look the less arrives. Finish while it is still easy.

4. 4

5. 5

   Nourish with Light-element foods

   Purple foods (purple grapes, eggplant, purple cabbage), Dark chocolate in small amounts, Omega-3 rich foods (walnuts, flaxseed). The tradition associates these with the Third Eye chakra.
