If I’ve ever told you there was a lot of energy around your third eye chakra, then this blog is for you. Read on to discover how to unblock your third eye chakra and reconnect to your intuition, inner wisdom, and mental clarity.
During your Reiki treatment, I always provide feedback, what energy I felt around you, where it’s stored, which chakra may be blocked, and what that means for your wellbeing. You may also notice I place specific healing crystals on or around your head when energy feels stagnant or busy.
This guide is a simple, beginner-friendly way to understand your third eye chakra, why it becomes blocked, and how to gently clear it.
What Is the Third Eye Chakra?
The third eye chakra (Ajna) is the sixth of the seven main chakras that run along your spine up to your crown. It represents intuition, clarity, perception, and inner wisdom. This chakra is your energetic centre for insight and foresight; the part of you that “sees beyond sight.” A sixth sense, if you will!
Sanskrit name: Ajna
Position: Centre of the forehead, between the eyebrows
Colour: Indigo
Element: Light
Crystals: Amethyst, Angelite, Labradorite, Fluorite, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite
Body areas: Eyes, head, brain, pineal gland, and nervous system
When your third eye chakra is open and balanced, you feel intuitive, focused, and spiritually aware. When it’s blocked, you may feel foggy, indecisive, or disconnected from your intuition.
6 Things That Could Cause a Third Eye Chakra Block
Third eye chakra blockages often stem from:
Overthinking or excessive worry, creating mental noise
Ignoring your intuition or doubting your inner voice
Fear of the unknown or unseen
Information overload or too much screen time
Closed-mindedness or rigid belief systems
Lack of rest or poor sleep, which affects your clarity and intuition
Signs of a Blocked Third Eye Chakra
Physical symptoms might include:
Headaches or migraines
Eye strain or tension between the brows
Sinus issues or sleep problems
Feeling mentally scattered or unfocused
Emotional symptoms can include:
Struggling to trust your intuition
Feeling confused, indecisive, or mentally foggy
Over-analyzing or second-guessing yourself
Disconnection from your spiritual side or inner guidance
If you’re nodding along, then fear not; there are gentle, spiritual ways to unblock your third eye chakra and reconnect to your intuition.
How to Unblock Your Third Eye Chakra
The key word here is clarity. Quiet the noise, and listen within. From stillness, comes answers.
Feeling confused? Breathe and tune in.
Feeling uncertain? Trust your inner knowing.
Here are some soothing and powerful ways to unblock your third eye chakra energy:
Meditate daily: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and focus your attention between your eyebrows.
Limit screen time: Give your mind space to rest and process away from distractions.
Spend time in nature: The natural world restores mental clarity.
Keep a dream journal: Write down symbols or messages you receive in dreams. Leave it beside your bed.
Eat naturally purple foods: Blueberries, grapes, and purple cabbage nourish this chakra energetically.
Visualise indigo light: Imagine a beam of deep indigo light swirling and expanding between your brows.
How to Unblock Your Third Eye Chakra with Reiki
Reiki healing is a gentle yet powerful way to unblock your third eye chakra.
During a session, Reiki energy flows to your forehead, calming the mind, clearing energetic fog, and activating intuitive awareness.
Many clients describe vivid imagery, deep relaxation, or a sense of “knowing” after Reiki. These are signs the third eye is opening and aligning with their intuition again.
Using Sound & Vibration for Third Eye Chakra Healing
Sound therapy can bring clarity and alignment to this chakra. Try:
An A-note singing bowl, resonating with the third eye frequency
Listening to 852 Hz frequency music, known for awakening intuition and spiritual awareness
Yoga Poses to Unblock the Third Eye Chakra
Gentle, inward-focused poses are best for this chakra. Try:
Child’s Pose (Balasana)
Forward Fold (Uttanasana)
Dolphin Pose (Ardha Pincha Mayurasana)
Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani)
Affirmations for Third Eye Chakra Healing
Repeat these affirmations daily to strengthen trust in your intuition and inner vision:
“I trust my inner wisdom.”
“My intuition is strong and clear.”
“I see truth in all situations.”
“I am connected to my inner guidance.”
“I trust the universe to guide me.”
How to Unblock Your Third Eye Chakra with Crystals
To unblock your third eye chakra with crystals, place them on your forehead during meditation or Reiki, or keep them nearby while journaling or resting. Try:
Amethyst for clarity and spiritual connection
Lapis Lazuli for intuition and inner truth
Sodalite for insight and focus
Fluorite for clear thinking and energetic cleansing
Consistency Is the Secret
Once your third eye begins to open, nurture it through stillness, meditation, and trust.
Regular Reiki sessions help maintain clarity and keep intuitive energy flowing smoothly.
The more you tune in and trust your inner guidance, the stronger your connection becomes.
