All About The THIRD EYE Chakra- Your WISDOM Center

Third Eye Chakra

• Location: Forehead between Eyes
• Main focus: Intuition, Imagination, Wisdom
• Main Colors: Purple or Dark Blue

If you have followed me at Sassy Holistics for awhile you have likely seen me talk about intuition at some point. We ALL are intuitive. We all have the potential to be even more intuitive as well if we can learn how to work on this amazing power. But because of our toxic world, our third eye has been clouded and blocked. When we awaken from the sleep that we’ve been in for so long, our third eye starts to wake up. It’s a bit stressed out and rusty, but with healing you can really open this center up a lot.

When our third eye is healthy and balanced it is so much easier to trust ourselves. It is much easier to just KNOW things and to trust our own choices. Our third eye plays a big role in our perception of reality, how we manifest, and our overall brain function.

Common symptoms of an imbalanced third eye chakra:

• sinus problems
• eye issues
• chronic headaches
• nightmares
• brain fog
• you grew up in a close-minded family, were not taught how to think critically, were made to believe that you had to be “seen and not heard”, or you had to always obey others with no questions asked (whether it was parents or in school)
• you are often daydreaming or creating scenarios in your head that will likely never happen
• you have an issue with balancing logic and emotion
• you cannot hear your inner voice at all
• you have very little creativity
• you struggle with meditation or connecting with your guides or higher self
• your ego is front and center in your life
• you are stuck in auto-pilot mode
• you struggle with learning new things or you do not care much for knowledge

Supporting the Third Eye Chakra

• Crystals: Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Blue Kyanite, Blue Apatite, Amethyst, Clear Quartz
• Foods: lavender, passionflower, rosemary, star anise; purple foods- carrots, potatoes, cabbage, dates, prunes, raisins, eggplant, blueberries
• Actions: Be out in the sun more. Ground yourself. Meditations specific for third eye. Decalcify your pineal gland (detox, cut fluoride out, eat real foods). Learn how to open up to other opinions and viewpoints. Work on emotional healing. Keep a daily journal. Be present in the moment and be aware of your thoughts. “I trust my own intuition, I create my own reality.”
