The 8 Best Third Eye Chakra Stones and Crystals

January 29, 2021 Laura Konst

The 6th energy centre, known as the Third Eye Chakra or "Ajna" in Sanskrit, is symbolized by the lotus flower and upside-down triangle. Located just between your eyebrows this energy centre is linked to imagination, intuition, and spiritual clarity.

Healing stones and crystals are one of the best ways to balance and unblock the chakra system. When working on your Third Eye Chakra, these crystals will allow you to soothe and develop your intellect and wisdom and reach altered states of consciousness.

The Third Eye Chakra is associated with the colour indigo or deep purple.

Why work on your Third Eye Chakra?

The Seven Chakras are energy centres on our body where the flow of energy is deep and connected to specific functions and emotional or physical qualities. There are many things that can influence the flow and vibrations of this energy negatively such as stress, negative emotions, sound, and light.

When you are working on your Third Eye Chakra you are opening up the centre of intuition and foresight. As your inner eye, the Third Eye Chakra allows you to see yourself and situations happening around you more clearly and perceive the true nature of things. This intuitive intellect is necessary if you wish to proceed towards your spiritual awakening path.

Working on your Third Eye Chakra is a beautiful journey of self-reflection, and in addition to healing stones, you may also use yoga, mindfulness, and Reiki to make sure it always stays balanced.

What does a blocked Third Eye Chakra feel like?

When one of your chakras is blocked, it is likely you have been holding on to negative energy and letting stress, anger and frustration control your emotions.

The symptoms of a blocked Third Eye Chakra often centre around a feeling of insecurity and indecisiveness. You may also feel like you are unable to understand situations or take decisions and be plagued by fears and doubts. It may also strongly manifest when dealing with big life decisions, like buying a house, having a baby, or settling down. As your inner eye closes, your ability to perceive the big picture diminishes and it is possible you are feeling lost and drifting through life.

As an energy centre for self-reflection, a blockage makes it hard to look inwards and understand yourself. When this happens you may be fearful or hesitant to examine your behaviours or become overly defensive and indecisive when faced with criticism.

Some common physical and emotional symptoms with a blocked Third Eye Chakra

Disturbed sleep pattern
Inability to focus
Burnout
Headaches
Lack of purpose
Cynicism
Indecisiveness
