The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra. It is the seat of our wisdom. Our inner knowing. Intuition, imagination, self-awareness & reflection are experienced in this center.
Having an open connection to this chakra allows us to access our inner wisdom. An inner truth and knowing that goes beyond the physical. Our inner knowing is not seen but felt. It’s deep inner wisdom that goes beyond reason and logic. Through stillness, we access our intuition. Through stillness, our intuition speaks to us. It helps us to see beyond our limitations and brings us clarity, peace, and hope.
Our intuition is our inner guidance. Our internal compass. It leads the way and guides us. The visions and messages that our intuition shows us don’t always apply to everyday reason and logic. It transcends all of that and shows us what is possible, what is true. And so, when our intuition reveals itself to us, we can trust and take aligned action, sit with its message or bypass its wisdom and choose to follow a more practical route. No matter what you choose to do with its messages, know that our intuition is always working for us. It can bring us more ease and flow, more lightness.
Our intuition also serves as our witness. It isn’t governed by emotion or thought. It sees beyond the mind. It is still and grounded yet vast. It gifts us with deep realizations, insights, and guidance that is always available to us. It’s the part of us that knows the way and the answer. The access point to our inner wisdom, knowing, and guidance.
Today’s Practice: Your intuition is always speaking to you. What message(s) has your intuition been sending you lately? It could be something as simple as making a shift in your morning or night routine, starting a project you’ve been thinking about, or letting go of something that is no longer in alignment with who you are in this moment. How can you honor this inner knowing and yourself?
