The Third Eye Chakra.......

Most of you must have heard about the 7 chakras in our body. When these chakras are open and functioning at the same time, you get exposed to spiritual enlightenment. The third eye chakra is one of the most commonly heard and significant one in our entire body.

What is this chakra??

It's known to be the energy center that is an invisible eye located our brows. It’s a gateway to a completely different world where you envision things that cannot be seen with an ordinary eye. In the modern spiritual world, it’s said that it takes you to a 3-dimensional world where you see even the depth of a plane figure. While opening your third eye, you should be careful because it clears your mind from all the illusions and delusions and let’s you see the reality of every moment in your life. When your third eye is open, it indicates spiritual and personal enlightenment.

What is it’s Biological meaning??

Technically, the third eye is represented by the pineal gland that secretes a hormone called melatonin. This is a hormone that tries to overcome insomnia and improves the sleep-cycle. For example, it’s usually comes into play when you are experiencing jet lag. This hormone also is related with our stress management, our agility and adaptability to different surroundings. They say that when this gland is exposed to darkness, it starts secreting melatonin. For instance, at night when our eyes are not exposed to any light. Here is an image of the gland a.k.a the third eye:

Signals that prove that your Third Eye is Open...

When your Ajna chakra is open, you often get strong intuitions and gut feelings that prove to be right. That is how some people become psychics.  Here are some other indications:

1. Your memory power increases.

2. You may 💭 daydream.

3. You begin to get a certain kind of vibe or aura from the people around you.

4. You may feel some pulsation or pressure in your forehead.

5. Mild headaches become quite frequent.
6. Psychics who get very strong intuitions are clairvoyant which means that before the incident actually happens, they may get some images flashing in their mind, indicating that their third eye is wide open.
7. You become health-conscious. The food we eat provides us with energy for daily life activities. Salubrious food like vegetables and fruits give us positive energy and hence increase the power of the Ajna Chakra. Junk food can instead hinder this. Foods like blackberries, purple kale, blueberries, grapes and eggplants are good for the third eye.
8. Whenever you close your eyes, you may see some fascinating patterns or geometric shapes.
 9. You start realising that they’re no coincidences but it’s the Universe that has planned things, unravels.
After reading the above, you can decide whether your this chakra that helps you with the better understanding of life is open or not.

Dangers of an opened Ajna Chakra:

Along the third eye chakra being very powerful, it can be quite dangerous as well. For instance, you get stressful headaches and at times body aches. If your third eye becomes over active, you may get too sensitive to bright light or vivid surroundings. You need to be careful and be aware of the limit although it gives you mental stability, maturity and happiness taking you away from the real life problems.

Everything depends on your beliefs and the enlightenment of your soul. Instead of giving up because of the immense dilemmas and problems in your life, the third eye can help you unravel every solution hidden behind the doors. This universe has the answers to almost everything; it’s you who has to find them with the help of the sacred knowledge and tools.
