6. Lie on the grass or somewhere comfortably, and look up at the sky and look at the clouds. See what shapes you see there. At night, sit or lie and watch the stars.
7. Visualize different things. Read this article that has many suggestions & exercises: https://www.swatinigam.com/tips-on-improving-clairvoyance-psychic-senses-series-3/
8. Doing yoga poses like Child Pose (Balasana), Trataka (Steady Gazing), Eagle Pose (Garudasana).
9. Pranayama (yogic breathing technique), especially Bhramari, Anulom Vilom, and Udgeet.
10. Focus and meditate on a Third Eye chakra mandala like this one below:
11. Breathe in Indigo or Dark Blue light into your Third eye chakra. This is how you do it: Close your eyes, and when you breathe in, imagine a bright and beautiful Indigo light entering your Third Eye chakra, and brightening and clearing it. Say your affirmations for this chakra along with this exercise.
12. I find visualization most effective for this purpose. Close your eyes, and imagine an Indigo disc where your Third Eye chakra is. Focus on it for a few seconds, and then start enlarging and brightening this disc so it covers even the back side of the chakra behind your head. Enlarge it to extend out of your body and around it to a diameter of about 2 feet. After that specifically, focus on the front part of the third eye chakra which is located in the middle of your eyebrows, and see an Indigo wheel or circle there. Increase it in size, and brightness. The more your focus on this front part of the third eye, the more it will activate. Say in your mind, “My Third Eye chakra is now balanced, opened, and healed”. However, this needs to be done for all the 7 chakras, so they are all balanced. Doing this once or twice a day for all your 7 chakras keeps your chakras balanced, opened, unblocked, and helps you be physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually healthy. It also improves your psychic senses.
Next Friday I will write about the Crown Chakra.

Much love,

Thank You!!! Perfect timing. I have been having nightmares and have been asking the angels what they are suppose to mean?
You are the angel used to answer my question 🙂 Bless You!
So glad I could help Betsy! Hugs!
how do i know if my chakras are working well or not?can you help me with this..thanks!
Tuhina, I emailed you the answer…did you get my email?
Swati, looking at that Third Eye chakra mandala makes my head hurt. Off to do a 3rd eye meditation!
Stormyyyyyyyy!!! So good to see you!! If it makes your third eye hurt then it is activating your third eye chakra in a big way. Either continue gazing at it and it will clear up the third eye or do it step wise. First work on it by affirmations etc so that it is not so intense anymore. Hugs!
Thanks Swati! I’ve been working on root and sakral chakra, so I guess my 3rd eye was feeling left out. LOL. When I look at the picture, I feel a pull on my right eye. What does that mean?
It means it is getting activated 😀
OK good, because I can look at it more clearly now. I listen to the 3rd eye chakra meditation and my eyes feel better.
Wooohooo!!!!
