Welcome to day 17 of the 30 day meditation. Today's meditation is about opening the third eye chakra. Located between the brows, it is indigo in color and is the sixth of the seven chakra's. The third eye is connected to psychic abilities, the Universe, wisdom and knowledge.
First, you can't see the third eye if you look in the mirror, if you can, consult a physician. Just kidding, just trying to keep it light. Seriously though, you often hear about the third eye when you hear people speaking about psychic abilities. With the influx of medium shows on television these days, there is no doubt this term has surfaced somewhere.
When balanced with your other chakra's, this sixth in the "chain" of seven, can help you decipher between your reality and your imagination. This is not a chakra to be dealt with lightly, it deserves the utmost respect, as you are essentially opening a doorway of sorts to another dimension, or a higher plane. You could say you are lifting the veil. Again, treat the third eye chakra, with absolute appreciation and respect.
Now, onto the meditation. As with every meditation, breathe in to the count of five and exhale out, to the count of eight, the anxieties, stress and worries. Inhale peace, exhale negativity. Inhale deeply, filling your lungs, exhale thoughts so you are left with a clear mind. Return to your natural breathing. Now picture your third eye, it is closed and the indigo color is dull and dim. With your next inhalation, imagine you are breathing through your third eye, breathing color and life into it and exhaling, out of your nose or mouth, all of the negativity keeping it shut. Breathe in through your third eye feeling it brighten each time you inhale positivity and exhale negativity, clearing away doubts and fears. Now, imagine the third eye chakra wheel spinning at the same steady cycle as your previous chakra's, the root, the sacral, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat...when it is glowing brighter and spinning like the others, slowly open your eyes and take a moment to think about this chakra.
I will repeat this again. It is always important to keep your chakra's balanced. If connecting to the other side is not your cup of tea, simply dim it just enough, as to keep it balanced with the other's. It is okay to let your chakra know that it is not something you are ready for, but keep it open enough to experience the wisdom of the universe or God, depending on where your beliefs might fall.
Too be honest, I have had experiences in my life and while I have a healthy respect for my sixth chakra, I'm not yet sure that I am comfy with the idea of opening it up more than it already is. As I said, do not jump in feet first, treat it with respect and appreciation and youtube other video's, or read books, that might help explain this more. I use both methods, there is nothing more healthy and entertaining than reading.
Until tomorrow...pick up a book and read. I'm currently reading, "Mountains of the Mind" by Robert MacFarlane. It is a wonderful, amazing and fascinating read. It captures your attention and imagination and yes, it is about actual mountains. I suggest you give it a whirl. *thumbs up*
