Have you been having trouble accessing your intuition or inner eye?
Do you feel like you don’t know your purpose in life?
Are you having problems seeing clearly or connecting to your inner truth?
If so, using third eye chakra crystals can help!
Third eye chakra crystals can keep the energy of your third eye aligned and balanced.
This will help energy flow throughout all of your chakras, so you can access your intuition and inner knowing more clearly.
They can also help you develop your psychic abilities, reach deeper levels of meditation, and increase creativity!
Let’s get into the specifics of the third eye chakra, the crystals that balance it, and how to use them!
The Function of the Third Eye Chakra
The third eye chakra (anja chakra) is the sixth chakra.
It is located in the center of your forehead, between your eyebrows. It is linked to intuition, spiritual development, and your sixth sense.
The third eye is “blind” in that it sees inward and perceives things you cannot see with your physical eyes.
It is the seat of your inner-knowing, and its mantra is “I see.”
The third eye chakra is responsible for
- inner eye/center of intuition
- psychic abilities
- sixth sense
- spiritual development, spiritual awakening, and spiritual awareness
- creative ideas
- seeing beyond the physical world
- deep meditation
- understanding your spiritual journey
- deepening your spiritual practice
- mental health
- seeing the big picture
- understanding your life purpose
- pineal gland
- pituitary gland
Symptoms of a Blocked Third Eye Chakra
Your third eye chakra can become blocked or unbalanced because of stress, frustration, negative energy, blocked emotions, trauma, or other people’s energy you’ve absorbed or dealt with over time.
This can lead to blockages along the entire chakra train, so if one area of the lower chakras is blocked you can feel it in your third eye chakra (or vice-versa.)
When the third eye chakra is blocked or out of balance, you might feel:
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Brain fog
- Negative thoughts
- Absence of inner-vision or inner-knowing
- Overthinking
- Frustration
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Self-doubt
Symptoms of an Overactive Third Eye
If your lower chakras are imbalanced or blocked, it can cause your third eye to become overactive. The energy will stay in your upper chakras and be unable to flow lower, which can cause your energy to feel flighty and ungrounded.
If your third eye chakra is overactive, you might feel:
- Obsessing about visions or experiences
- Hallucinations
- Ruminating
- Seeing “signs from the Universe” everywhere (overstimulated)
- Feeling spacey and ungrounded (too “in your head”)
- Feeling confused and like your intuition is all over the place
Using Crystals for Third Eye Chakra:
You can use crystals to heal and unblock your third eye chakra.
Crystals have their own inherent properties and vibrations that can remove energetic blocks and align your third eye to their energy.
Third eye chakra crystals have colors or inherent properties that vibrate at the same frequency of the third eye, so keeping them near you while doing chakra work will help align your chakra to its highest vibration.
Third eye chakra crystals are either crystals in the blue/violet color family, or crystals that have inherent properties that open the third eye, like stones for clarity, manifestation, connection, or meditation.
Some of the crystals on this list align with more than one chakra, which means they can help the energy move throughout the Chakras more freely.
The following is a list of the most well-known crystals associated with the third eye, but if you have a crystal that isn’t on this list but falls into this category, most likely it can be used as a third eye crystal as well!
Use your intuition!
