Location Of 'The Sight': Third Eye Chakra Explained 

Third Eye Chakra Explained: While this chakra is associated with the pineal gland, it needs to interact with the pituitary gland to activate it.

If you are wondering where the pineal gland is located, it is in the center of the brain up behind the third eye.

This chakra manages the working of the spinal cord with the pineal gland and pituitary gland working together to ensure the health of this area and of the whole body.

One of the major roles of the pineal gland is to secrete melatonin which regulates the endocrine system and helps to manage the light dark-dark cycle of the body.

This is known to help sleep cycles and ensures that when you sleep it is not too long or too short. Light coming into the retina has a major effect on its function.

Governs The Birth Of Psychic Gifts

In olden times, they named clairvoyant ability 'The Sight' or the second sight to discriminate between it and normal sight.

Clairvoyance or psychic visions was previously called 'the sight'. It was clear to many people who developed this gift that it has a strong association with the third eye located in the forehead.

This area governs the birth of a range of psychic gifts, and the energy of this chakra may boost the development of various abilities.

This includes clairaudience or psychic hearing and psychic knowing, and it also helps you to develop your intuition.

Third Eye Chakra Meanings

The third eye chakra meanings pertain to the concept of 'seeing' especially in a spiritual and psychic sense.

The sixth chakra is related to heightened spiritual growth. It helps you to develop positive attitudes and a more selfless and humanitarian attitude to life.

Today's clairvoyants are aware of this and opening your third eye is one of the ways that a number of you may feel the onset of your psychic powers.

The third eye chakra also governs the gift of clairaudience or psychic hearing as this area relates to the ears and to hearing.

See the many pictures shown there, and note that many healing crystals that are not the specific chakra colors will also assist you in developing this area.

This is particularly true of high vibration crystals. Many crystals of these chakra colors are easily obtained.

In particular one of my favorite quartz crystals which is also a favorite of many other people, Purple Amethyst Crystals are strong third eye stones.

Some of the third eye chakra stones with strong crystal energy will work simultaneously within a number of chakras

Many resonate within the fourth or heart chakra as well as the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and the other transpersonal chakras which are above both the crown and the soul star chakra.

All of the chakras from the heart up are associated with spirituality and healing.
