More information on Third Eye Chakra
This Chakra is the second most superior chakra in our system after the crown chakra. So light is considered as it’s element. Light here gives the meaning of inner light, knowledge and enlightenment.
Now, let’s understand the meaning of the sign of this Chakra. We can see a lotus with 2 petals in the symbol which represents our Ida and Pingala Nadis. These 2 nadis travel right from the root chakra to third eye Chakra via spinal cord. At the third eye Chakra they join with Sushumna Nadi which in turn sends all the chakra energy to crown chakra. These three nadis are subtle energy channels in our body and represents male and female energy within us. Sushumna Nadi is neutral and balances Ida and Pingala.
Downward facing triangle represents divinity and divine guidance. The seed mantra Om is the basic sound of the Universe. It’s the root of all other sounds.
Third eye Chakra helps to grow spiritually. If it gets activated, one can see past, presence and future.
Balanced Third eye Chakra:
Activating the third eye Chakra is not an easy task. However, it is possible with hard work. Even though the chakra is not active but balanced we can have a better quality of life physically as well. Because the third eye chakra also stimulates the pituitary gland in the brain. This pituitary gland secretes hormones needed for body growth and good mental health. A well-balanced Third Eye Chakra gives a person the following experience :
- Spiritual knowledge
- Intuition, self-awareness and psychic power.
- Better focus and clarity.
- Physical and mental health

Balancing the Third Eye Chakra
It’s important to keep all chakras balanced. After we achieved balance in the chakras we can further activate them by more Sadhana. It is possible for everyone to balance an imbalanced Chakra even if ordinary people like us cannot activate it. Sometimes when we are exposed to various unfavorable situation there are chances that chakras are blocked. So if we observe it and rebalance it we can regain the lost health. Here are some ways to balance the Third eye Chakra.
Mantra
Some vibrations come out from the movement of the chakras. These vibrations become sound. Later it was recognized as seed mantras. So the third eye Chakra mantra is ‘Om’. Regular listening or chanting of this seed Mantra can re-energize the third eye Chakra.
Chanting Positive affirmations:
Chanting positive affirmations regularly for a certain time (10-15 minutes) will make our subconscious mind believe it and work to make it true. So the positive sentences given below can be used to awaken the Ajna Chakra.
- “I trust the knowledge within me.”
- “My intuition guides me.”
- “I do my work as divinely guided.”
- “I am in the right place at the right time.”
- “I respect my feelings.”
Take a sentence that resonates with you and chant it regularly to see any positive changes in your life.
