Crystal Clear Vision
Always curious about mysticism, history and science, I was fascinated by references of a 3rd Eye in ancient art and cultures like the Mayans, Greeks, Asians and Hindus. I needed proof.
I researched to find evidence of our Pineal Gland (pin-ee-uhl) located at the brain's center the size of a pea, shaped like a small pine cone with microcrystals. Like an "eye" this gland senses and responds to light. This internal clock guides our circadian rhythm for wakefulness and sleep through melatonin hormone production triggered by light. Darkness produces melatonin to induce sleep, light decreases production for wakefulness. Research is ongoing to prove it's function of perception, I believe it does.
Ajna in sanskrit, the 3rd Eye is our chakra energy center for higher perception, intuition, and ancient wisdom to guide us when open. The area from the front view on our forehead is referred to as, "the space between the eyes". But also includes the back and sides of our upper head since it's in the center. Reminds me of when my mother would say she had eyes behind her head with her "premonitions" to which she was always right. I believe she tapped into her 3rd eye, her power for intuition. She always just knew things in advance and if I was in danger. She clearly had a 6th sense, a strong link to her 6th chakra.
Chant OM and let the vibrations charge your 3rd eye crystals while creating a Hakini Mudra triangle with both hands fingers and thumbs connected. Close your eyes, take a deep inhale and on the slow, long exhale chant A-U-M for higher knowing. Let the M linger a little longer. No one is listening, just do it. Then notice. Now you're ready to meditate like our sweet Sally shown above. Wear violet, purple or indigo blue this week to launch intentions for higher perception, divine intuition through the Light of 3rd eye activation so all may "see" more clearly.
Eyes wide open,
