Third Eye Chakra
Site Of The Pineal Gland
Location Of 'The Sight'

Where Is The Third Eye Chakra

The Third Eye Chakra is located above the eyebrows in the forehead. This chakra is associated with the pineal gland and is the area of the body where our visionary abilities emerge. Sometimes called the Ajna chakra in Eastern traditions, or the Brow Chakra... as it is located at the brow in the center of the forehead. Using the specific stones for this chakra can aid the development of psychic abilities... such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, psychic knowing and intuition.

Third Eye Chakra Meanings

The third eye or 6th chakra meanings pertain to clairvoyance or psychic vision, intuition, psychic knowing, inner knowledge and inspiration. This chakras meaning is all about the concept of 'seeing' especially in a spiritual and psychic sense. The third eye or pineal gland was believed in ancient times to be where 'The Sight' was located.

Ancient seers recognized this, and as their abilities emerged they felt a 'tingling' feeling in this area. Today's clairvoyants are aware of this and it is one of the ways that some of us feel the onset of psychic powers. This area also governs the gift of clairaudience or psychic hearing.

Which Chakra Stones to Use

The 6th chakra reacts powerfully to the use of high vibration healing stones in particular Moldavite and Herkimer Diamonds. This is the chakra most likely to develop any of the psychic gifts. If this is what you want to do, work with the stronger crystal energy stones.

Other high vibration stones to use are Danburite, Tanzanite, Satyaloka Quartz, Herderite, Azeztulite, Petalite, Tibetan Tektite, Scolecite, Natrolite, and Phenacite. If you are not used to the higher vibrations, use the chakra stones with a medium crystal energy first then move onto the higher vibration stones. As there are quite a few less highly energetic chakra stones for this chakra you may prefer to use them first.

Before you use any specific crystal with any chakra I advise the use of Kyanite. Kyanite comes in many colors, all of which are powerful healers.

Indigo Kyanite exudes energies that particularly stimulate the pineal gland and may activate dormant psychic abilities. Although this stone is a high vibration crystal, it is more gentle in its vibration. You may choose to use any color of Kyanite first, before you use the specific chakra stones. Using Kyanite will bring all of the chakras into alignment. This will assist in the general flow of energy throughout the body. It will also bridge any energy gaps which may have been caused by any form of accident or from surgery you may have had.

The most common form is Blue Kyanite but if you can find Indigo Kyanite it is very useful for the 3rd eye. The color of Kyanite may also be green, black or orange.... but the blue is the most easy to find.

After using Kyanite, you may then follow this with the individual chakra stones for the 6th chakra. It is not possible to list all possible stones that may assist this chakra but these are quite a good selection.

Chakra Colors

This chakra resonates to the colors of purple and indigo. As you will see from the list above, some healing crystals that are not the specific chakra colors will also assist in developing this area. Many beautiful stones of these chakra colors are easily obtained... in particular the Amethyst crystals which are one of my favorites.

Stones with strong crystal energy will work simultaneously on the 4th chakra, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and the other transpersonal chakras which are above both the crown chakra and the soul star chakra. All of the chakras from the heart chakra up are associated with spirituality and healing.

Who Should Use the 6th Chakra Stones

Anyone who feels they need to improve the energy and flow in this area may choose to use them. If a chakras energy is not in balance, you may find that problems may develop in the area. The Third Eye chakras main function is to look after the organs in its vicinity, in particular to manage specific areas of the brain, eyes, ears and nose.

It also governs the working of the spinal cord, and governs the birth of psychic gifts such as psychic vision, clairaudience, psychic knowing and developing intuition.

If you are working within this area to develop any of your psychic skills... once you begin to make contact with spirit it is easy to become ungrounded. Avoid any potential health problems... by using natural crystals for spiritual grounding... including the dark crystals such as Obsidian, Black Tourmaline or Black Kyanite... and by doing spiritual grounding meditations.

Some of the sixth chakra stones are also powerful grounding stones... including Charoite, Purpurite, Ascension Stones and Sugilite.

How To Use the 6th Chakra Stones

It is a good idea to wear crystal jewelry or other jewelry made from the chakra stones for this area, to improve anything that this area governs. A powerful stone for this chakra and all of the higher chakras, that is beautiful made into jewelry is Purple Charoite stone.

Amethyst earrings... or earrings made from other chakra stones are very beneficial to wear, as wearing them on the ears puts them constantly in the third eye chakras energy.

Using purple or indigo healing crystals such as Amethyst crystals, may enhance both the abilities associated with this area, and the health of this chakra. It is easy to buy a wide range of stones from the list above... and any of these will aid you to develop this area.

How Will It Help You

A newly discovered and powerful third eye stone is Atacamite. This crystal should only be used with full awareness of its impressive nature. Meditating with it will bring through powerful visual images. It will forcefully open the third eye... yet even though it is forceful it will enhance your ability to connect to your highest guidance.

After the use of the high energy crystals you could find new abilities begin to manifest... and you may find you clearly perceive the way to go forward. Imagination, dreaming, clear sight and clear insight emerge from this chakra... as well as psychic skills such as psychic clairvoyant abilities.

Once you begin to have genuine psychic abilities... you may consider psychic employment... as there are now a variety of areas where you are able to work as a professional psychic... including jobs working as clairvoyants or spiritual mediums.

It is advisable when working on this chakra... to make sure that you are aware of the requirement for psychic protection... and that you take action to protect yourself at these times. If you are working in any type of psychic employment where psychic attack may happen... remember to take measures to protect yourself... by using protection crystals.

In Summary

This chakra is a powerful area of the body, especially when it comes to the more 'esoteric' functions. The development of psychic abilities... including clairvoyance and clairaudience... and developing intuition, imagination, inner knowledge and inspiration may emerge from development of the 3rd eye. Enjoy the new abilities working with it may manifest!
