The Third Eye can sometimes be a tricky chakra to open up. Often it is sluggish and takes practice to get things moving.  If you are finding that you are having trouble with opening up or activating your Third Eye Chakra, I have a few ideas that may help you.

Before I go into the list of how’s, we may want to ask ourselves why we want to open up this Chakra.  Setting intentions are a great way to start with opening up this Chakra.  Do we want to tap into a heightened sense of awareness?  Or perhaps to practice lucid dreaming?  Maybe you would like to tap into your intuition more to help you with everyday life.  Whatever your reason is, it is a great idea to get clear on it and set it before you start.

Meditation is where it’s at.  Start with setting aside 10 minutes everyday to just sit and focus on your breathing.  Allow yourself to practice being in the moment.  It’s important to learn how to quiet your mind so that you can tap into the things your aren’t sensing, seeing or hearing.  Once you have practiced focusing on your breathing and ensuring that you are taking in deep calming breaths, start to visualize clearing out your Third Eye Chakra.  You can do this by bringing white light in through your crown and allow it to envelope the Third Eye, or you can visualize a hallway and walk towards a door that opens up to bright white light.  Play around with this and see what feels best for you.  Balancing your other chakras within your meditation will also help you to open up that Third Eye Chakra.

Secondly, I would look at detoxing your body.  Water intake is important here.  Make sure you are drinking enough water and that the PH of your water is at a minimum of 7.  A very simple way of bringing up the water PH level is to add lemon to it.  Most tap water or bottled water is sitting at a level of 5-7 PH.  Removing fluoride from your body is important too.  This is known to help de-calcify the Pineal Gland, which is associated with the Third Eye Chakra.  Look at switching your toothpaste to a natural one and find out if there is fluoride in your water.  If so, you will want to get a filtration system that takes this out.  Lastly, look at increasing your vegetable intake.  I’m talking about your greens…not carrots or corn or peas.  Leafy greens and any green veggie.  This is going to help detox and unclog that Chakra.

The third tip I have for you is to use a crystal to help open up that Third Eye Chakra.  When I first started working on opening up my Third Eye I used Fluorite, Moonstone and Selenite.  These are still my favorite go to stones if I want a boost in that Chakra.  You can also try Amethyst or Sodalite.  A sure way to tell if that stone is working is if you start to feel tingling or a shift (lightening) in denseness in your Third Eye.

There are many ways to open up that Chakra.  These 3 are my favorite and what I found to be most successful.

What are your favorite ways to open up the Third Eye Chakra?

One of the first things you should do when you bring a new crystal or piece of jewelry home is clean it.  I don’t mean use soap and water or hydrogen peroxide.  What I am referring to is cleansing any lingering energy that the crystal has picked up and is holding on to.  This could be from the ground it came from or from anyone handling it until it reached you.  You want to start off with a neutral stone so that you can get maximum benefits from it.

One of my favorite ways to clean the crystals I have is to use a piece of selenite.  This is a great absorption stone and all you do is place your stone on the selenite for a minimum of 6 hours.  Here are a few more ways to clear your crystals:

• Place your stones or jewelry outside in the sun or under a full moon for a minimum of 4 hours
• Place your pieces on the soil outside or on a houseplant for at least 24 hours
• Use a smudge stick (dried sage leaves) or Paulo Santo stick and hold your pieces over the burning smoke to cleanse them
• Lay your pieces over a piece of clear quartz for a minimum of 6 hour

Once you have cleansed your stones, you can then activate them.  This is really quite a simple process.  Decide what your intention is going to be when using the chosen piece of crystal or jewelry.  Find a quiet place to sit and hold the piece in both hands.  While breathing in the highest white light, visualize or think of the intention you have decided on.  Do this for a few minutes.  Once you have finished, your stones are ready to use!

Depending on how often and what you are using/wearing your stones for, the frequency of cleaning your stones will vary.  Pay attention to how your crystals are feeling to you and when they start to feel heavy or muddy, that is when it is time to clean them.  If you are using the piece on a daily basis, then look at a time frame from 10 – 21 days.
