The chakras are the energy centers of our body. Each chakra has its own energetic purpose and each plays an important role in our overall health and well-being.
The Third Eye Chakra helps us see behind the veil of illusion and recognize the true nature of everything, beyond the dualities of good and evil. If our third eye chakra is balanced, we can see the interdependence of all things and tap into our intuition with greater ease.
There are many reasons why our third eye chakra can become blocked, but very often the root cause is ignoring the voice of our own intuition for too long.
Our intuition is what connects us to the wisdom of our soul and when we ignore it we disconnect from our higher selves.
Learning to trust our own intuition is one of the most important steps we can take to open our third eye chakra.
Working with crystals can speed up this process by offering us support and guidance and connecting us to spiritual realms.
Here is our selection of 3 wonderful crystals to work with the third eye chakra:
Summary
Tanzanite
Tanzanite is a high vibrating crystal that helps us release our intuition and psychic powers. It is one of the best crystals for opening our third eye chakra because it helps us bridge the gap between the material and spiritual worlds.
Tanzanite is also a powerful crystal of protection. This is important, as we may need extra protection when our third eye chakra begins to open, as this is when we become more receptive and vulnerable to all kinds of energies.
The calming and harmonious vibrations of Tanzanite make it a great crystal to hold in your hands while you meditate. Its enchanting blue-purple hue helps focus a restless mind and enhances self-reflection.
Sodalite
Sodalite is often referred to as the Stone of Truth because it helps us view complicated situations in our lives with clarity and honesty.
Sodalite helps us see how everything is interconnected.
Sodalite helps open a blocked third eye chakra by guiding us to see through the illusion of separating things. It also teaches us to see others from a positive perspective and to recognize their unique gifts and qualities.
Blue quartz
Blue quartz is another high vibrating crystal that helps us reach a higher state of consciousness. This enchanting crystal teaches us that it is here and now that our true power resides. We tend to forget that enlightenment is not a place we reach, but rather a reconnection with our own divine essence.
Once we realize that our true nature is pure and perfect, just like everyone else’s, we have already lifted the veil of illusion.
Blue quartz can give us advice and messages from our Guardian Angel or our Spirit Guides. It fills us with calm and harmonious vibrations and helps us focus our mind.
Blue quartz can help us heal our third eye chakra by connecting us with the voice of our intuition. Our intuition always guides us to make the best decisions to live a fulfilling life, but sometimes it can get stuck if we’ve ignored it for too long.
We may have seen signs and received messages pushing us in a certain direction, but perhaps we were too scared to act. This is when our third eye chakra begins to close.
Blue Quartz can help open up any existing blockages in the Third Eye Chakra by gently guiding us to reconnect with and follow the voice of our intuition. When we learn to trust our own intuition, we find meaning and direction in our lives.
How to use crystals for third eye chakra healing?
To open and heal your third eye chakra, wear earrings or a hair clip made from any of the three crystals mentioned above. Alternatively, you can try this simple meditation practice:
Sit comfortably in a quiet space. Hold one of the three crystals of the Third Eye Chakra in your hands and close your eyes. Relax your mind and body by taking a few deep breaths.
Now visualize the blue-violet light coming from the crystal and entering the area between your eyebrows, where your third eye chakra is located.
Try not to think of anything, just feel the sensations that this blue-purple light brings. Feel how it cleanses and balances your third eye chakra.
Stay in this state of meditation for as long as you want. Now open your eyes and slowly bring your awareness back to the outside world.
