The third eye chakra is the 6th chakra within your energy body made up of 7 primary chakras.
The third eye is the energy centre that is also known as the inner eye and allows for expanded vision and perception of energy beyond just that which we see and experience as physically manifest.
This chakra allows us to perceive both the unseen realms and the usually seen from a higher perspective. When the third eye chakra is active this allows us to tap into our extrasensory abilities and intuitive knowing.
This chakra is an extremely powerful gate to the spirit realm and allows us to access the cosmic perspective of our existence.
Because this chakra allows us great power beyond our physical everyday senses and perceptions this great power needs to be wielded with responsibility, intention, and consciousness.
When the third eye chakra becomes overactive, due to the causes we will discuss within this article, the untamed energy can manifest as a variety of signs many of which are quite disconcerting and undesirable experiences.
Within this article, we shall focus particularly on understanding overactive third eye chakra imbalance.
We will delve into what causes an overactive third eye chakra, the specific signs that indicate that this chakra is overactive and some noteworthy suggestions for healing an overactive third eye chakra imbalance.
Understanding What Causes an Overactive Third Eye Chakra
An overactive chakra is a chakra that has too much energy flowing within it and this energy is not aligned with the health and balance of the chakra.
A blocked chakra is quite a common experience (you can read about the 11 Signs You Have A Blocked Third Eye Chakra here) but an overactive third eye chakra, although less common, is definitely something we need to keep in check.
We need to pay attention especially now as we live in a time of collective spiritual awakening but still often have desires of instant gratification.
This is linked to one of the causes of the overactive third eye chakra which is the rushing or trying too hard to open this energy center (as opposed to dedicating to practices that naturally open your third eye at a pace that your body and mind can properly integrate ) .
An example of this which can also be part of the cause of an overactive third eye chakra is the unconscious usage of hallucinogenic substances and plant medicines.
When we use these substances without proper guidance and intention, or even if we use them too frequently (not giving ourselves the time to integrate and embody insights) this can cause the third eye chakra to become overactive.
Some of these powerful substances have the ability to immediately open our third eye chakra with repeated use, unconscious use, or even opening this center when you are not ready when you haven’t yet opened and integrated the lower chakras that help to balance the cosmic energy and otherworldly perspective offered by the third eye.
Another cause of an overactive third eye chakra is when this center becomes overactive as a form of escapism from physical reality.
This can happen just due to having a personality that is extremely engrossed in the dream worlds and spirit world and not at all wanting to interact with and tend to physical life.
It can also be a result of being in an undesirable physical situation such as abusive situations, poverty, homelessness, addiction, etc and we can move into the third eye state to escape the physical circumstance by flooding our perspective with third eye energy.
This causes an overactive imbalance as we are not energizing this chakra from a healthy conscious state but rather from a state of fear or lack.
These are the causes of third eye overactivity that we have observed but there are probably more causes that we are yet to discover as this is one of the less commonly reported chakra imbalances.
