Picture of The Day
Third Eye (A Simple Guide)
Much has been written about our third eye. It is closely tied to the pineal gland which can be found in the middle of your brain, behind your eyes. The pineal gland is pea-sized and recently some researchers claim that biologically it is made up of many of the same components as our eyes. This gland has a long history that spans continents and religions and is most often represented as a pinecone held by many different gods. French philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650) referred to this gland as the “seat of the soul” and believed it is where the soul and the body interacted.
The third eye is the chakra of wisdom—enough to see, and the intellect to understand both sides of every event or story. Here we find our mystical selves—intuition, inner vision, a deeper perception of life than before. This is the place of shamans and wisdom keepers, those whose introspection open the doors of past lives, subconscious pattern recognition, astral travel, and extrasensory perception.
This is the chakra of dreams that provide information to guide us, and of remembering them when we wake. The pineal gland secretes serotonin which regulates sleep patterns and melatonin which may be responsible for our circadian rhythms.
When you balance the third eye chakra, you experience clarity of thought and vision, you are imaginative and intuitive, and see the events in your life as symbolic and lessons to be learned. You will remember your dreams and contemplate their meanings. You are flexible in your opinions.
If one is out of balance with the excess, you might find the following:
Lack of concentration, the mind flitting here and there
Obsessiveness
Nightmares
Spending far too much time in self-evaluation with no results
Narrow focus with a lack of flexibility
Often religious but self-righteously so to the point of becoming tyrannical
Over analytical but missing main factors
Delusional or have hallucinations
When the third eye chakra is deficient:
No imagination or visualization skills
Non-assertive
Bad or repressed memories
Difficulty changing their minds—they only see one side of a story which is their way
Generally, they cannot see the outcomes or ramifications of their actions
They don’t learn from their mistakes and are doomed to keep repeating them
Undisciplined, weak-willed, and afraid of success
Unable to set goals, or when set, their goals are very low
How To Balance Your Third Eye:
Meditation
Meditation, especially with an open third eye, is always a good place to start and a critical component to balance the third eye. Meditating under natural light is the most beneficial and a good place to start, either sunlight or moonlight. (During the winter you can substitute with full spectrum light.)
Sleep
Sleep is another critical component of third-eye balance. Be sure you get enough sleep at night which should be seven to eight hours. The time between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m. are important for this chakra; the ancients felt this was when we connected with our higher beings.
Aromatherapy
The following are essential oils to consider in aromatherapy. These essential oils can be diluted to 3% in carrier oil on your pulse points, on a cotton ball, or in a diffuser for inhalation.
Aromatherapy to balance the Third Eye:
Frankincense (Boswellia carteri)
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Neroli (Citrus x aurantium)
Juniper (Juniperus communis)
Diet
Foods to nourish the third eye are purple and blue foods like red onion, red cabbage, blueberries, red grapes, blackberries and raspberries, raisins, and eggplant.
Consider the pineal gland when choosing food. The largest problem with the pineal is that is it prone to calcification, especially as the result of too much sodium fluoride, which is in much of the tap water in the country.
Affirmations to Balance The Third Eye
I recognize wisdom comes from within.
I see all situations with clarity and objectivity.
I am open to inner guidance.
The knowledge of the universe is within me.

📰 Positive News Of The Day!
In February, the US Department of Veterans Affairs established a new goal to prevent and end homelessness among military vets, after seeing progress towards earlier goals stall out in 2016.
The new goal to house 38,000 veterans this year is close to being realized—and could bring the number to near zero.
As of September 30, the department had achieved 30,914 permanent housing placements, meeting 81.35% of the goal to ensure at-risk veterans are safeguarded from the crisis of homelessness.

Kosha "Koh-Shah": Sheath; covering of the soul (Atma). There are said to be five koshas, or sheaths, that surround the inner world: Food/physical sheath (outermost), energy sheath, mind sheath, intellectual sheath, and bliss sheath (innermost).
CRYSTALS TO BALANCE THE THIRD EYE
Celestite
Celestine is associated with the third eye chakra, Anja: wisdom, understanding, mindfulness, and higher consciousness. The third eye chakra is primarily linked to the pituitary gland, which regulates serotonin. Balanced Anja's benefits include intuition, perception, imagination, good memory, good dream recall, improved visualization, encouraging an open mind, and an ability to see the big picture.
Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals for third-eye chakra work. Even in ancient cultures, Amethyst was used to connect to the divine. Amethyst is well-known for bringing one into a relaxed state, but it is also a focus state of heightened awareness. As a stone for sleep, Amethyst can also be seen as a gateway to the unconscious mind.
Black Obsidian
Black obsidian is a stone of mystery and revelation. Often called the stone of truth, provokes a sense of curiosity and motivates one to discover answers. Obsidian brings clarity to the mind, discharging confusion and constricting beliefs, and encourages exploration of the unknown. It is highly effective for expanding consciousness in the meditative state and for activating untapped abilities.
Labradorite
Ancient peoples saw Labradorite as the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis that had fallen to Earth. Labradorite is thought to awaken intuition and psychic abilities and holds the power of the Universe. Blue and Purple flashes are particularly powerful for the Third Eye Chakra.
Purple Fluorite
Fluorite is thought to stimulate the mind, speed up learning and enhance focus. Fluorite comes in many colors, a mix including purple is best for stimulating the third eye chakra and opening our creative unconscious
Sodalite
Sodalite is a striking blue stone marked white like the night sky. It is dense and grounded. It inspires one to consider themselves in relation to the vast universe and is thought to awaken insights into the self and reality. Ideal for deep meditation, Sodalite allows a quiet mind for reflection.
Arfvedsonite
Arfvedsonite is a beautiful black crystal with flashes of blue and sometimes green, gold & lavender light. In the metaphysical world, Arfvedsonite is considered an essential and powerful crystal for psychics, healers, and those wishing to enhance their connection to the spirit world. It is thought that Arfvedsonite aids with developing psychic abilities and seeing into the future.
