The Third Eye Chakra: Seeing Beyond the Illusion 👁️
There’s a reason you sense things before they happen. A reason you get a gut feeling about someone, why certain places carry energy you can’t explain, why you just know when something is off.
That’s your Third Eye Chakra at work.
Known in Sanskrit as Ajna, the Third Eye is the center of intuition, clarity, and higher perception. It’s the part of you that sees beyond the surface—beyond logic, beyond what the physical eyes can perceive. When this chakra is open, life flows effortlessly, decisions feel clear, and you trust your inner guidance without hesitation.
But when it’s blocked? That’s when doubt, confusion, and indecision take over. You might feel like you can’t see your path clearly, like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, or trapped in overthinking. A blocked Third Eye can also manifest as headaches, brain fog, anxiety, or difficulty sleeping—all signs that the energy in this center isn’t flowing freely.
How Reiki Activates & Balances the Third Eye
Reiki is one of the most powerful tools for awakening and balancing the Third Eye because it removes stagnant energy that keeps you from connecting to your intuition.
During a Reiki session focused on the Third Eye Chakra, energy is channeled directly to the forehead and between the eyebrows, where it works to dissolve mental clutter, open clarity, and strengthen your intuitive abilities. Many people report feeling a deep sense of relaxation, seeing colors or visions during a session, or even experiencing vivid dreams afterward.
But the real power of Reiki? It reconnects you to your own wisdom. Because deep down, you already have the answers. You’ve always had them. Reiki simply clears the noise so you can hear yourself again.

Your Intuition Is Your Superpower
Most people have been conditioned to ignore their inner knowing—to prioritize logic over instinct, to seek answers outside instead of looking within. But the truth is?
Everything you seek, you already know.
