Third Eye Chakra Crystal Meditation
Sit or lie in a darkened room with your third eye crystal placed on your forehead between your eyebrows. Close your eyes and begin slow, deep breathing. Focus your attention on the point between your eyebrows, known as the third eye. Visualize an indigo or violet light glowing at this point, like a luminous eye opening to inner vision. With each breath, see this light growing brighter and more vibrant. Allow images, symbols, or insights to arise without judgment. If you see nothing, simply feel the sensation of opening and expansion at your third eye. Chant the mantra "OM" or "SHAM" either aloud or silently, feeling the vibration in your forehead. Ask your higher self or inner wisdom any questions you have, and remain open to receiving guidance. Trust whatever comes through, even if it does not make immediate sense. After 20-30 minutes, slowly return your awareness, keeping your third eye activated.
