Awakening the Third Eye: A Pathway to Inner Vision and Intuitive Wisdom

As we continue our journey through the chakra system, we now arrive at the sixth energy center—the Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna. Located between the eyebrows, this center governs intuition, inner vision, clarity, and spiritual insight. It’s here that we tap into our deeper knowing, the quiet voice of our soul that gently guides us forward even when the path isn’t clear.

In my own healing journey, reconnecting with my intuition through third eye practices was a turning point. It allowed me to release the need for external validation and learn to trust what I already knew deep within. I see this transformation happen in my clients as well—especially those who have spent years relying solely on logic or external success markers. When we strengthen this center, we remember that our truth doesn’t come from outside ourselves—it arises from within.

Signs of Imbalance

When the third eye chakra is underactive, you may feel disconnected from your inner guidance, struggle with decision-making, or experience a lack of imagination. When overactive, it might manifest as overthinking, paranoia, or difficulty grounding into the present moment.

A Simple Intuition Practice

Third Eye Gazing (Trataka)

This gentle yet profound meditation practice helps to strengthen your inner vision:

1. Sit in a quiet space and soften your gaze at a candle flame or a single point (like a symbol or crystal) in front of you.

2. Allow your breath to slow. Focus on this object without blinking for as long as you can.

3. Then close your eyes and visualize the image in your mind’s eye (between your eyebrows).

4. Breathe deeply and sit with whatever images, feelings, or impressions arise.

This practice awakens the subtle energies of the third eye, helping you tune into your inner wisdom more clearly.

This classic meditation uses sound (mantra), breath, and finger movements (mudra) to stimulate the brain and balance the pineal gland—the gland most associated with the third eye.

• Chant the sounds: Sa Ta Na Ma while pressing your thumb to each finger in sequence:

  
  

  • Thumb to index (Sa), middle (Ta), ring (Na), pinky (Ma)

  
  

• Chant aloud for 2 minutes, whisper for 2 minutes, then silently for 2 minutes.

• Reverse: Whisper for 2 minutes, then chant aloud for the final 2 minutes.

This 12-minute meditation, practiced daily, enhances intuition, improves focus, and clears emotional blocks clouding inner guidance. You can find amazing tutorials on Youtube to follow along.

Sacred Alignment: Trusting Your Inner Knowing

In my book Sacred Alignment, I share how healing each chakra reveals another layer of clarity and truth. The third eye is where all the layers we’ve worked through—grounding at the root, creative flow at the sacral, empowerment at the solar plexus, compassion at the heart, and truth at the throat—come together in intuitive vision. When you are energetically aligned, intuition is no longer a mystery—it becomes your compass.
