What are chakras
Before proceeding to a detailed examination of the third eye itself, it should be clarified what chakras are. In esotericism, this word refers to certain nodal points of concentration of energy located in the human body, or more precisely, in its aura. It is believed that the chakras are an important component of the human body, consciousness, their nature hasthe most practical value in our life. The quality of the latter and the state of our he alth directly depend on the state of the energies concentrated in the chakras.
Energy is everywhere. Some of its types interact with others, and those energies and vibrations that have the same wavelength are attracted to each other according to the principle of a magnet. Each of the chakras also corresponds to a certain type of energy and a specific element. The third eye chakra, for example, corresponds to the Mind Element.
Ajna, or third eye
The chakra, which is also called the third eye, is located in a place that is located just above the point between the eyebrows. What is the third eye chakra called? Its name is ajna, which in Sanskrit means "order, command." This chakra is responsible for the functioning of the pineal gland, carotid plexus, and the brain. In general, the ajna chakra is responsible for how the world is perceived by human consciousness, and it also affects a person’s ability to see subtle energies. The third eye is clairvoyance, the ability to see the past and the future, to perceive the thoughts of people. All seven chakras have their own colors, which correspond to the colors of the rainbow - from red to purple. The third eye chakra, which is sky blue, is the sixth in a row and corresponds to higher energies than the chakras below it.
It is believed that all children under the age of three years have the ajna chakra "open". Young children have some clairvoyance, can see or at least feelsubtle energies and biofields. However, as they grow older under the influence of traditional upbringing, this ability is drowned out and lost. The development of the sixth chakra will help to achieve harmony between the physical and spiritual body of a person.
The influence of the ajna chakra on the body
In fact, the state of the third eye chakra is important for any person, even without extrasensory abilities. An individual who knows how to activate this chakra is able to perceive messages on the mental and energy levels, control his subconscious, he has a better developed intuition. At the same time, the third eye chakra oversees mental work, memory and willpower - physical characteristics inherent in a particular personality.
Each person needs to develop the third eye chakra, especially those people whose activities are related to creative or analytical thinking.
What can be seen with the third eye?
The gift of clairvoyance is possessed by just those people whose third eye chakra is open. What is this ability? Clairvoyance is not only the ability to receive information from otherworldly sources, it is also the ability to see biofields, including the aura of other people. The one who is able to feel the aura cannot be deceived, because such a person can see feelings, thoughts and desires. In addition, clairvoyance will help to recognize the presence of various diseases, both physical and mental.
However, you should understand that the gift of clairvoyance can become a heavy burden. The person whosethe third eye is developed and functioning, it can be very susceptible to all sorts of negativity. Our world is cruel, and the things that happen in it are not always pleasant. Many people simply do not notice all this, but not those who have the ability to see the hidden. However, one can learn to "turn off" subtle vision in order to reduce one's receptivity and sensitivity.
How to open the ajna chakra
There are many methods by which the third eye chakra develops. How to open and balance it - we'll talk about this. Perhaps the easiest way is the candle exercise. It should be performed every day for a month, preferably after sunset. The essence of this method is as follows: you need to take an ordinary candle, light it and put it in front of you at arm's length. Then, for one minute, you need to look at the fire of the candle, trying not to blink or look away. After that, close your eyes and try to visualize the glare from the candle in the very place where the third eye is.
With each new day, increase the duration of contemplation of the flame from the candle by one minute. Thus, after a month, the exercise should be at least half an hour. If you do everything right, then every day it will be easier to perform this exercise, you will be able to hold the glare without much effort. Of course, this method cannot guarantee one hundred percent opening of the third eye, but it will help develop your inner vision, which is alsoimportant.
Meditation and other exercises
The development of psychic abilities is a long and difficult path, so meditation is indispensable here. Learn to relax, use different breathing techniques, meditate. In addition to the fact that such a practice will help open the chakras, it can also have a positive effect on the state of your body as a whole.
Even an open ajna chakra needs regular training. For example, in your free time, you can do the following exercise: lie on your back, close your eyes, relax. Mentally visualize a ball of blue color, feel the warmth that comes from it. Focus on it and move it to the third eye area. Do not strain and try to hold the ball by force. Feel how your ball pulsates, and the third eye chakra is saturated with its pleasant warmth. What will it give you? Such activities will help speed up the activation of the sixth chakra.
Nourishment and cleansing
Chakras need constant energy replenishment and cleansing. That is what meditation sessions are for. Here is another useful exercise.
Concentrate on the center of your head, at the level between the eyebrows, approximately between the hemispheres of the brain - where the very third eye chakra, whose name is ajna, is located. Imagine that there is an energy vortex of bright blue color. It has the shape of a ball and rotates clockwise (when viewed from above), while it accumulates the same brightthe blue energy of your thought. The chakra absorbs this mind energy and illuminates your head with a cold blue light. Your brain cells are filled with strength, nourished and cleansed, you feel the tension leaving your blood vessels and capillaries. Improves speed of thinking, memory and other functions of your brain.
Performing this exercise for 10-15 minutes, you can fill your chakra with energy, as well as improve brain performance.
How dangerous is a closed ajna
The presence of a large number of negative emotions and bad thoughts, unwillingness or inability to accept oneself - all these factors lead to the closing of the sixth chakra. Opening the third eye will only work when you can clear your mind of all this negativity.
A person whose third eye chakra is blocked or clogged becomes vulnerable in many ways. It is difficult for him to distinguish lies from the truth, it is difficult for him to understand himself, in his dreams and aspirations. Ultimately, in the lives of people whose chakras are closed, a lot of contradictions and conflicts, both internal and external, appear, which regularly lead to nervous tension and overwork. Disappointment in yourself, in your strengths and in the meaning of life is the end result.

Self-improvement is a difficult path and by choosing it,you have to go to the end. You should not stop halfway or limit yourself to some kind of framework - having achieved a result, set new goals for yourself and continue working on yourself.
In order for the third eye chakra to open, you need to change, learn to look at the world in a new way. Get rid of all the negativity that is present in your life, say goodbye to bad habits, you may even have to reconsider your diet. Self-discipline and more self-discipline. In the end, get ready for the fact that it will be possible to open the third eye only after you can activate all the previous five chakras.
