Many times, we feel lost and disconnected, despite having everything in place. We feel the lack of connection, fulfillment, and purpose in life, for no apparent reason. This happens because of the underactive Third Eye and Crown chakra.
At the core, we are spiritual beings undergoing a human experience. But in the everyday rut of mundane life, we often forget our spiritual nature. We spend a huge part of our time worrying about the future or ruminating over the past. We need to connect and surrender to the Universe, in order to truly let go of the worries. We need to grow spiritually alongside manifesting abundance in the physical plane so as to experience unconditional bliss, irrespective of the circumstances. In this article, I focus on the Third Eye chakra.
The Third Eye
The Third Eye (sixth chakra) is our gift or a gateway to connect us to the source and is associated with our sense of intuition, concentration, clarity of vision, and receiving guidance from the higher beings or angels. Its corresponding gland – the pineal gland – is the organ of supreme connection with the Divine. It secretes the hormone melatonin which governs our circadian rhythms (our sleep cycles) and hence keeps us happy. Besides melatonin, the pineal gland secretes several other neurotransmitters that work to provide us access to higher states of consciousness – the state of unconditional bliss.
When we don’t use a muscle or an organ, it becomes atrophied and since we do not rely on the pineal in general, it becomes dormant. So without developing our Third Eye chakra, it is rather easy to remain trapped in the mundane affairs of everyday life. With the lack of spiritual connection, we feel easily ruffled by the trials and tribulations of life. This connection is intrinsic to human existence and important to unleash the full human potential. Developing the Third Eye chakra is therefore crucial and brings stability and clarity along with several psychic gifts like telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, astral travel, etc. in advanced stages.
Here is a primer on how to unblock the Third Eye chakra and thereby reclaim our union with the Source:
1. Meditation – Regular meditation helps to put an end to the ceaseless thoughts which keep us stuck to the material world and pose an obstacle to experiencing peace and joy. Find a quiet place to sit for a few minutes every day. Focus on your breath and just witness any thought or emotion that passes by, with objective awareness. Do not attach or identify with any kind of thought, because you are more than your thoughts. Enjoy the silence. To quote Voltaire, “Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.”
2. Chanting – ‘Aum’ is the primordial sound of the Universe and mental or verbal repetition of the ‘Aum’ mantra helps to activate the Third Eye chakra and attunes us to the…
