Balancing my Third Eye Chakra

The third eye chakra is located above the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows, but includes the pituitary gland, eyes, head, and the lower part of the brain.  The third eye is associated with intuition, and when open, the emotional and logical side of the brain are able to successfully work together.  A person will not only see what’s going on from an outside or observers perspective, they will also fully understand and be able to absorb the deeper meaning behind situations in everyday life.  


Once I learned about all of the psychological problems associated with an unbalanced third eye chakra, I was amazed, because it’s basically a comprehensive list of all the things that I struggle with.  I am incredibly moody (though I’m getting better), I have difficulty remembering things accurately, have absolutely no common sense, and struggle with learning as well as thinking conceptually.  I’m really anxious to see if by increasing my meditation practices, and some of the other chakra opening exercises below, I’ll be able to increase my levels of common sense and the ability to learn and think in a way that isn’t so analytical.  I always feel like such a bonehead.  If my symptoms weren’t so consistent, I would say I was just burnt out.  Kind of like I’ve had a really intense week at work.  But, it’s all the time! 


Psychological Symptoms:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Nightmares
  • Seizures
  • Hallucinations
  • Issues with moodiness, volatility, and self-reflection
  • An inability to look at one’s own fears, and to learn from others.
  • Day-dream often and live in a world with exaggerated imagination.
  • Lack empathy for the people in your life, lack common sense, or intuition.
  • Difficulty with memory and learning


Physical Symptoms:
  • Eye problems
  • Glaucoma
  • Ear problems and hearing difficulties
  • Spinal conditions
  • Scalp/hair issues


As with all of the spiritual chakras, meditation seems to be the best medicine.  But, there are some other methods that I’m going to incorporate as well, including:

  • Bee Breathing
  • Listen to classical music, such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach.
  • Eat foods high in Omega-3’s.  (An excuse to eat more sushi, yay!)
  • Sit out in the sunshine, as light is the element of the third eye.
  • Flush the liver
  • Acknowledge my fears, as they will tell me what is blocking my ability to see clearly.

Oh Lord

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won.  That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing.  But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey.  Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others.  Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today?  How have I affected others?  How does that make me feel?  How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
