Balancing Your Third Eye Chakra with Essential Oil

You hear the phone ring and before you even pick it up you know who it is on the other line without having seen a Caller ID box or expecting a pre-arranged call. Is this a coincidence? No, it's your intuition at work. Every single being on Earth has a built-in system within their spirits that helps them make decisions and get through every day life. This system is the intuition.

When you know something without knowing how you even know it. (Try to say that five times real fast!) Well, now you know, it's your intuition. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines intuition as a keen or quick insight. This is true. At times, it comes in an instant.

You could get a feeling about a friend or a family member not feeling well or that they need to talk to you. Then, next thing you know either they're calling you; you call them, or run into them at the grocery store. Think about it - I'm sure this has happened to you many times. Your dreams are another channel for your intuition as well.

However, our intuitions can get clouded by life's daily routine and just a feeling of not wanting to know things out of fear of the unknown. When your intuition or insight isn't as keen as usual then it's probably a good time to clear and balance your third eye chakra. Your intuition and insight isn't just about knowing thing ahead of time or making deep prophecies, it's mostly about being able to see the truth about yourself and others.

Your third eye chakra is located between your two natural eyes in your brow area. The color associated with this chakra is indigo. Not only does this chakra govern your intuition and insight, but it also governs your natural eyes, which is your outer sight.

Both inner and outer sight are equally important, however, our inner vision seems to be the most blurred and corrupted. For it is extremely challenging for us to see the truth about ourselves and others. It is far easier to live in denial about certain people and situations than to face the truth. Therefore, we walk around with blinders over our third eye in an attempt to block out any insights that may lead us to truth. But as we've learned from many religions and religious texts, the truth (from our insight) is what sets us truly free, not what is on the outside.

If you'd like to clear and balance your third eye, please try the following aromatherapy visualization.

Visualize your third eye chakra as a beautiful sparkling indigo circle of light in between your eyebrows. It is spinning in a clockwise motion at a steady pace. See your chakra as cleansed and balanced with no dirt or darkness to be seen anywhere. Rest in the comfort of that cleansed and balanced chakra, which is opening your inner vision to see the truth about you and others with love and forgiveness and joy and peacefulness. Hold this image in your mind while taking a drop of rosemary oil combined with a few drops of a carrier oil such as olive oil or sweet almond oil in the palm of your hand. Rub both hands together and hold them about 2-3 inches away from your face. Inhale the wonderful aroma of the oil while continuing to hold the image of your cleansed and balanced third eye chakra spinning at a steady pace in the middle of your brow in all of its indigo splendor.

And so it is.
