Let's talk about the third eye today, or the sixth chakra.

And why is this called the third eye anyway?

Like we have two physical eyes, what's the third eye?

So some people are intuitive, some people are clairvoyant, and they are

able to see things, they're able to see past lives, they're able to understand

a little bit more of what's going on.

But what is this ability really about or what is this chakra really about?

We might have a clue in the shape of this chakra.

It's got two petals.

Now these two petals are about the duality that we have in this life.

Think about it, we have day and night, we have hot weather and cold weather, we have

light and darkness, we have abundance and lack, it's that opposites with everything.

This chakra is very much around being in balance but because it's eye,

it's very much seeing those parts, seeing both of them at the same time.

Now, if I could give you another picture to understand the chakras

that will make a lot more sense with the third eye, it might help.

So think of your root chakra as the foundation of a house, right?

We're going to build a house up here.

And then your second, third, fourth, fifth chakras, they're

all the storeys of the house.

And then sixth chakra is the balcony.

And seventh chakra is like just up in the ether.

So there's no floor there, it's just above the balcony.

But sixth chakra is where you are at the balcony level of

now this five story house.

So when you are up here, it's a very different view from when

you are in the bottom chakras.

In the bottom chakras, you are very much concerned with what's really going on.

That's what you see as well.

That's your view and that's your world.

That's how much you understand, right?

By the time you've come up to the sixth, you've looked at all the

other chakras, you've balanced them so you understand Safety, you

feel really comfortable on earth.

You feel loved.

You feel enough.

You feel abundant.

You feel like you have, you are free.

You can really express and be as you are.

And then at the sixth level, this is this perfect place that

you're seeing, but you can see how there's an ebb and flow in life.

So you can see that, and you're just standing in the balcony.

You are not as active in all the daily emotions, but you

understand the bigger picture.

And that's why you're not as active in the daily emotions, the ups and downs,

the, let's say, if the traffic is slow.

that won't bug you as much.

If something isn't really going the way it should, it just passes by you.

You're very neutral in this space because you can understand the whole bigger thing.

And you can understand if the traffic is slow, there's the reason for slow

because you are supposed to meet someone in the traffic or you're supposed

to avoid something that shouldn't happen to you and so on, but you

start understanding that and this is that ability of clairvoyance, right?

This is that ability of really understanding the big picture of

life, like living life, but really understanding the big picture of

how things are going with you.

It's very much a chakra that's connected with the spirit world as well.

So what you are doing is you are seeing the life on earth as it is, then you

are connecting in the clairvoyant space, you're connecting with the world

outside that and you're understanding the whole life purpose, not just

yours, you're understanding how you fit into the whole scheme of things.

Like how your life is related to someone else's life, but how all

of you combined are just smaller pieces in a very big movie.

So it's about seeing and understanding that.

Now when is your sixth chakra or when is your third eye healthy?

When is it activated?

Well, when you can really listen to your intuition, when you understand that,

when you get thoughts, random thoughts that you feel you should do, when you

get random ideas, when you get random understanding about things, that's

when your third eye is very active.

But what will happen if this chakra is really balanced?

What happens if your third eye is active?

What is really the outcome with that?

The first thing that will happen is that life will not be as emotional, right?

So when we were looking at our chakras and putting them in the house, you

were not in the lower levels anymore.

So at the sixth, because you see a lot, you understand that even

if there is some action that is happening in the lower chakras, you

can just be in the space and you can just observe and you go, yeah, okay.

The ups and downs of life don't impact you as much when you are in the sixth chakra.

And if you've really activated your 6th chakra properly, then that also means

that you've worked through your lower chakras because there's no way you can

get up to the 6th without doing that.

With your lower chakras, you would have already started

feeling more settled in the body.

With the first chakra, you would have felt a lot safe.

Then you feel loved.

With the third chakra, you feel like you are enough.

With the fourth chakra, you feel you're abundant.

With the fifth chakra, you're starting to feel a lot freer.

And hence, by the time you come to six, you've already done a lot of the inner

work where you feel any other imbalances.

Your life will automatically start going in the flow.

With your sixth chakra being balanced, you will understand the rhythm of

your life, like you will understand, okay, if something's not worked out

now, it just means that there's a bigger plan happening here, or you

will already know that bigger plan.

With the sixth chakra, you will start getting signs around,

what is it you should do?

You will start have random ideas and random insights coming into you.

Your life will be so much in the flow and you will just start living in that space.

And quantum leaping, that's very much a space that you can start

exploring on from your sixth and from your seventh chakra as well.

The more and more you can be here because by this time then you've done

that work which allows you to actually shift timelines and go to another place.

So quantum leaping is jumping from your current timeline to

just another timeline radically different to your current timeline.

Like radically a step forward to that, but being in a balanced six chakra gives

you that space to do that because by being in the six chakra you have honed

your capability of working through your shadow paths, of really healing your

inner child and past patterns and wounds so that you're able to work through it.

You can't really be in the sixth chakra, like even if it's active, it will go back

to its usual state if you're not able to maintain that level of balance between.

the lower chakras.

Just because otherwise your body will get into a shock like

it's too much for it to absorb.

So it will need to work through a lot of things, past patterns, programmings,

limits, your soul blueprint, etc.

All of that needs to be worked before you can really be in the sixth and then

start doing really amazing work and really fine tuning and creating your life.

Now, if you really want to get into the space, if you really want to balance your

sixth chakra, what is it that you can do?

First of all, maybe just go back to my previous podcasts if you haven't listened

to them already because I've talked about specific affirmations in specific

ways for each of the lower chakras.

And the more you do them, the more inner work you do with them, the more shifts

you're going to see in your life, the more you start balancing those as well.

And you will be in a place where you can really start balancing

and healing your sixth chakra.

With sixth chakra to really keep that active, the main affirmation that you

should work with is just that I'm blessed.

And it might feel foreign, but you're saying I am blessed because

you're really realizing that you are one person in the world.

in a much bigger world.

And I don't even say the world as an earth, I say this

universe, I say this multiverse.

But you start having increased awareness of this consciousness

with your sixth chakra.

So hence when you talk of activating your sixth chakra, it's really just activating

this part that you are blessed because you're blessed to have this life here.

You are blessed to have this physical experience.

You're blessed to have all the experiences that you're having right now.

It's just coming into that vibration.

And when you can really live and feel that vibration, that is when you're

really ready to start making a shift.

Now, if you really, really wanted to expedite that and have a proper support

system for your healing journey, that I encourage you to check out my Moon

Meditation Circle because this is what we work through every new moon

and full moon and you will be guided and supported in the whole journey.

You won't need to do it for yourself.

It's a guided transformation if you will.

But if you want to take the baby steps and just get to this place

yourself, just start with this affirmation of I am blessed.

And notice where that It brings up resistance in your body because it will

and those are the areas that you need to clear, but just notice those areas and

then just start cleaning them little by little by little and slowly you'll be in a

place where you are ready to work it more.

So here's to a balanced healthy six chakra and to seeing more, to getting

a lot more neutral with your life, to just understanding the bigger purpose

of your life and whole life in general.
