Jul 26, 2023 Pauline Walters

 

If you're indecisive, feeling lost or lack clarity in life, then you may have a blocked third eye chakra. Affirmations are a powerful technique used to open and heal your third eye chakra, enhancing your awareness, intuition, focus and concentration. 

What are the 7 Chakras?

The 7 chakras are the main energy centres of your body. Each is located in a specific area of the physical body and is responsible for regulating a particular set of emotions. When all 7 chakras are balanced, energy flows freely through the body giving you a clear mindset and access to your greater intuition.

When they're blocked, they can wreak havoc on your physical, mental and emotional health. Third eye chakra affirmations are a powerful way to help heal, open and unblock these energy centres. It's recommended that before you try to open your third eye chakra, you first work with the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart and throat chakra in order, as these will build the foundation to properly access your intuitive centre. 

What is the Third Eye Chakra?

The third eye chakra is the 6th chakra and the beginning of the shift from your emotional energy centres to your greater consciousness. It's located between the brows at the centre of the forehead and is closely linked to the brain's pineal gland.

The pineal gland is made up of the same cells that are wired to the visual cortex of the brain, it regulates your circadian rhythm, produces melatonin and is said to be the access point to greater awareness.

The third eye chakra is closely linked to psychic consciousness, imagination, understanding and intuition. When this chakra is open and activated you are more attuned with yourself and others, trust your gut instincts and have greater awareness and wisdom.

Those with an under-active third eye chakra will likely lack direction, feel disconnected and have a hard time focusing on the present. Those with an overactive third eye chakra may feel paranoid, distrustful and live deeply in their Ego. If you think you have a blocked third eye chakra then you may be experiencing the following symptoms:

Why Should I Practice Third Eye Chakra Affirmations?

Using third eye chakra affirmations is a powerful way to reprogram the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is on a constant loop. Without you even realising it, you think around 90% of the same thoughts today as you did yesterday. 

So, if you're someone who is indecisive, lacks direction or clarity then the subconscious mind will continue to reiterate these qualities over and over. It's very difficult to change your subconscious loop when you're not aware of it. 

Affirmations are an incredible tool to reprogram these self-destructive and sabotaging thoughts.They will help you to reprogram negative and self limiting beliefs by presenting the brain new data. Positive affirmations will send new signals to the brain, creating new neural pathways, turning your negative subconscious loop into a positive one.
