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 chakra 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 high 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 third eye chakra. It is not possible to list all possible stones that may assist this chakra but these are quite a good selection.
Any stones highlighted with a link... and there are a lot of them there to choose from... means that you can click on them to go to another page that is dedicated to that crystal. You will find more detailed information on these stones on their individual pages.
Third Eye 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 main function of the third eye chakra, 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 a range 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 Black Tourmaline, Black Obsidian Stone 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, Unakite, Turquoise and Sugilite.
