Close Both Eyes

Chakra Week ⋅ Day Six ⋅ Third Eye Chakra

Trust.

The third eye chakra is located in the center of your forehead and is associated with the color indigo. When we tap into this chakra, we are able to see through a different lens.

In her book Practical Intuition, Laura Day says we receive intuitive messages every second of every day. Every person is intuitive. Every. Person.

She discusses how there are an infinite number of things you might notice in any given moment. For example, you look out the window and think…

A vine, a wall, the sky, the sky is blue, I hear a plane, shadow of a tree, various shades of green, dead leaves, cobweb, flowers, rooftop, skylight, neighbor…

Laura’s pearls of wisdom

  • Ask your intuition questions, and then let your attention go.
  • Intuition only gives you what’s actionable.
  • When you’re ready subconsciously, it will make sense.

For me, whether or not my intuition is clear, it always brings a higher perspective. When you see the world through your third eye, you feel the absolute truth that we are all one.

“Close both eyes to see with the third eye.” –Rumi

 

SATURDAY

Today’s inspiration: Third Eye Chakra

How to use it: Imagine that a bright blue light shines from the center of your forehead. Relax and notice what it illuminates. Remember, what you see today may not be clear to you until later. Trust that your intuition is lighting the way.

For fun: Pay attention to every blue thing you see today, and keep a list on your phone or a piece of paper. At the end of the day take a look. What are they telling you? Nothing, you say? Maybe not yet.

For more fun: LISTEN to Oprah’s encore of her interview with Toni Morrison who discusses how her book, The Bluest Eye, united so many different readers.

 

Be inspired. Go forth. Create your day.

Check out these posts to use the days of the week to channel the energy of your chakras:

 

For thought…

A Community of the Spirit

There is a community of the spirit.

Join it, and feel the delight

of walking in the noisy street

and being the noise.

Drink all your passion and be a disgrace.

Close both eyes to see with the other eye.

Open your hands if you want to be held.

Consider what you have been doing.

Why do you stay

with such a mean-spirited and dangerous partner?

For the security of having food. Admit it.

Here is a better arrangement.

Give up this life, and get a hundred new lives.

Sit down in this circle.

Quit acting like a wolf,

and feel the shepherd’s love filling you.

At night, your beloved wanders.

Do not take painkillers.

Tonight, no consolations.

And do not eat.

Close your mouth against food.

Taste the lover’s mouth in yours.

You moan, But she left me. He left me.

Twenty more will come.

Be empty of worrying.

Think of who created thought.

Why do you stay in prison

when the door is so wide open?

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.

Live in silence.

Flow down and down

in always widening rings of being.

Rumi, Jelalludin
