Our third eye (or pineal gland) is the seat of our intuition, imagination, insight, wisdom, psychic abilities, access to mystical states, illumination, clarity, truth, perception of subtle energies and self awareness. It helps balance our masculine and feminine energies. Many ancient cultures, such as the Kemets, believed that our third eye was responsible for spiritual consciousness. When our third eye chakra is fully activated, a doorway towards spiritual enlightenment is opened. We see life with clarity and possess strong intuition, insight, self-awareness and emotional and spiritual balance. We are not controlled or limited by the mind and we are much more insightful and understanding of ourselves, other people and life in general. This episode explores how to fully activate our third eye.
