Many of us have ever heard of all kinds of self-improvement techniques, clairvoyance, and other extrasensory abilities. And if anyone can do yoga, then what is the true nature of all these mythical superpowers? Are they given to a person from above or can everyone develop them in themselves independently? In this article, we will examine in more detail such a concept as the third eye chakra. Where is this chakra located, what properties does it have, how to open it? Read in this article.
What are chakras
Before proceeding to a detailed examination of the third eye itself, it is necessary to clarify what is the chakras. In esotericism, this word refers to some nodal points of energy concentration located in the human body, or more precisely - in its aura. It is believed that the chakras are an important component of the human body, consciousness, their nature has the most practical significance in our life. The quality of the latter and the state of our health directly depend on the state of energies that are concentrated in the chakras.
Energy is everywhere. Some of its types interact with others, and those energies and vibrations that have the same wavelength are attracted to each other by the principle of a magnet. Each of the chakras also corresponds to a certain type of energy and a specific element. The third eye chakra, for example, corresponds to the Mind Element.
Ajna, or the third eye
The chakra, also called the third eye, is located in a place that is slightly above the point between the eyebrows. What is the third eye chakra called ? Its name is Ajna, which in Sanskrit means "command, command." This chakra is responsible for the work of the pineal gland, carotid plexus, and also the brain. In general, the ajna chakra is responsible for how the world is perceived by the human consciousness, and it also affects the ability of a person to see subtle energies. The third eye is clairvoyance, the ability to see the past and future, to perceive people's thoughts. All seven chakras have their own colors that correspond to the colors of the rainbow - from red to purple. The third eye chakra, whose color is sky blue, is the sixth in a row and corresponds to higher energies than the chakras below it.
It is believed that in all children under the age of three years, the ajna chakra is “open”. Young children have some clairvoyance, can see, or at least feel subtle energies and biofields. However, as they grow older under the influence of traditional education, this ability is drowned out and lost. The development of the sixth chakra will help achieve harmony between the physical and spiritual body of a person.
The effect of Ajna chakra on the body
In fact, the state of the third eye chakra is important for any person who does not even have extrasensory abilities. An individual who knows how to activate this chakra is able to perceive messages on the mental and energy levels, to control his subconscious, he has a better developed intuition. At the same time, the third eye chakra oversees mental work, memory and willpower — the physical characteristics inherent in a particular person.
Every third person needs to develop the third eye chakra, especially those people whose activities are associated with creative or analytical thinking.
What can be seen with the third eye?
The clairvoyant is possessed by just those people who have the third eye chakra open. What is this ability? Clairvoyance is not only the ability to receive information from otherworldly sources, it is also the ability to see the biofield, including the aura of other people. One who is able to feel the aura cannot be deceived, because such a person can see feelings, thoughts and desires. In addition, clairvoyance will help to recognize the presence of various diseases, both physical and mental.
However, it should be understood that the gift of clairvoyance can become a heavy burden. A person whose third eye is developed and functioning can be very susceptible to all kinds of negativity. Our world is cruel, and the things that happen in it are not always pleasant. Many people simply do not notice all this, but not those who have the ability to see the hidden. Nevertheless, one can learn to “turn off” subtle vision in order to lower one's sensitivity and sensitivity.
How to Unveil Ajna Chakra
There are many methods by which the third eye chakra develops. How to open it and balance it - we’ll talk about this. Perhaps the easiest way is to exercise with a candle. It should be performed every day for a month, preferably after sunset. The essence of this method is as follows: you need to take an ordinary candle, light it and put it in front of you at arm's length. Then for one minute it is necessary to look at the fire of the candle, trying not to blink and not look away. After that, close your eyes and try to visualize the glare from the candle in the very place where the third eye is.
With each new day, increase the duration of contemplation of the flame from the candle for one minute. Thus, after a month, the exercise time should be at least half an hour. If you do everything correctly, then every day this exercise will be easier to carry out, you can keep glare without much effort. Of course, this method cannot guarantee one hundred percent opening of the third eye, but it will help to develop your inner vision, which is also important.
Meditation and other exercises
The development of psychic abilities is a long and difficult way, so there is no way to do without meditation. Learn to relax, use various breathing techniques, meditate. In addition to the fact that such a practice will help to open the chakras, it can also have a positive effect on the state of your body as a whole.
Even the open chakra ajna needs regular training. For example, in your free time you can perform the following exercise: lie on your back, close your eyes, relax. Mentally visualize a ball of blue color, feel the heat that comes from it. Focus on it and move it to the area of the third eye. Do not strain and try to keep the ball forcibly. Feel how your ball is pulsating, and the chakra of the third eye is saturated with its pleasant heat. What will it give you? Such activities will help accelerate the activation of the sixth chakra.
Makeup and Cleansing
Chakras need constant energetic nourishment and purification. For this, meditation sessions should be performed. Here is another useful exercise.
Concentrate on the center of your head, at the level of the eyebrows, approximately between the hemispheres of the brain - where the third eye chakra is located, whose name is Ajna. Imagine that there is an energetic whirlwind of bright blue. It has the shape of a ball and rotates clockwise (when viewed from above), while the same bright blue energy of your thought accumulates in it. The chakra absorbs this energy of the mind into itself and illuminates your head with a cool blue light. The cells of your brain are filled with strength, nourished and cleaned, you feel the tension disappearing from your blood vessels and capillaries. The speed of thinking, memory and the work of other functions of your brain improves.
Performing such an exercise for 10-15 minutes, you can fill your chakra with energy, as well as improve the performance of the brain.
Why is closed ajna dangerous?
The presence of a large number of negative emotions and bad thoughts, unwillingness or inability to accept oneself - all these factors lead to the closure of the sixth chakra. You can open the third eye only when you can clear your mind of all this negativity.
A person whose third eye chakra is closed or clogged becomes vulnerable in many ways. It is difficult for him to distinguish lies from truth, it is difficult for him to understand himself, his dreams and aspirations. Ultimately, in the lives of people whose chakras are closed, there are a lot of contradictions and conflicts, both internal and external, which regularly lead to nervous tension and overwork. Disappointment in oneself, in one's strengths and in the sense of life - this is the end result.
Is it easy to open ajna chakra
Actually, opening the third eye chakra is not so easy. For this, it may not be enough to complete a course of simple exercises, like an exercise with candles. Self-improvement is a difficult path and, choosing it, you need to go to the end. You should not stop halfway or limit yourself to some kind of framework - having achieved the result, set yourself new goals and continue to work on yourself.
In order for the third eye chakra to open, you need to change, learn to look at the world in a new way. Get rid of all the negativity that is present in your life, say goodbye to bad habits, you may even have to reconsider your diet. Self-discipline and self-discipline again. In the end, get ready to open the third eye only after you have been able to activate all the previous five chakras.
