third-eye-chakra
I saved this Chakra specifically for the Sun in Libra – Libra is represented by the number 6 in astrology which personifies balance, harmony, receiving, love, partnerships and teamwork. When I think of this Chakra I feel that in order for it to open and be useful, we must be open to receiving, we must be in balance and harmony with not only ourselves, but of that of a higher power; when we bring ourselves (inner being) and the energy of something outside of ourselves (higher being) we open up that 6th sense. It could be actually seeing beyond the void and into infinite possibilities or it could be just a deep knowing within us.
Just like the animals in the forest, the jungle or in our homes, we have intuitive instinct, but many of us have either forgotten this instinct or we are so busy with external stimuli that we are unconsciously blocking our very own intuition. Have you ever met a person and picked up an instant feeling about them; I will use the example of picking up the feeling that this person was someone that you really did not want to get to know, have any dealings with, you could sense they were not a good person, however, external acquaintances tell you this person is wonderful, good, kind, loving (your intuition says everything of the opposite). You give that person the benefit of the doubt and somewhere down the line you find out that you were correct! Your initial instinct told you to caution this situation. If you can relate to this then you used your 6th sense. Try and keep track of these occurrences where your intuition or instinct tells you something other than what you are seeing and hearing, the more you can account for the accuracy of your 6th sense the more it will develop.
Opening and developing your Third Eye – Meditation and a quieting of the mind, yoga (specifically where the forehead will be pressed into the floor or a yoga block – such as child pose or dolphin), crystals and music. 
Child post is really comfortable and I have just learned dolphin and find that fantastic as well.
When it comes to power opening and balancing this Chakra use crystals and stones with meditation. I found that I was able to open my third eye up fast and furious with Lapis Lazuli, Azurite, Blue Kyanite, Labradorite, Sodalite or Any Dark Blue Stone. 
This is the color that you should work with for the opening and balancing of the 6th Chakra. Once open, there are a myriad of other stones not specifically blue that will help you connect, you just have to find your own favorite. This Azurite is one of my favorites and Lapis Lazuli which is of a similar hue. I placed them on my Third Eye when meditating. I want to give you a heads up that when you begin opening this up, you will experience pressure or tingling in this area and possibly head aches as well. This took several months of meditation work with the stones on my Third Eye before I stopped experiencing the pressure and head ache. Now, when I close my eyes (especially in meditation) my Third Eye opens within a minute and I can begin seeing images and colors. I pay attention to the images (they are usually people or animals). I look to see if I know the person or if there are any distinctive features as it may be someone I will soon meet. If it is animals I immediately think of the totem message associated with that animal. Once opened you will be able to experience a greater knowing with or without sight in your daily life. This is extremely helpful in business, with family and friends – it is always nice to have the upper hand. Here is an example of what I do when I meditate .

I select the stones that I would like to use – I typically select one for each of the Chakras; from the Root to the Crown. I put on some soothing music or the sounds of chirping birds -it really depends on my mood, then I just close my eyes and allow myself to drift. I do not judge what I see, I just make a mental note of it and move on. The music allows me to tune out any mind chatter and I focus on that or a chant or mantra. Use the mantra associates with each Chakra:
- “LAM”- chakra 1 (root)
- “VAM”- chakra 2 (sacral/navel)
- “RAM”- chakra 3 (solar plexus)
- “YAM”- chakra 4 (heart)
- “HAM”- chakra 5 (throat)
- “OM”- chakra 6 (third eye/brow)
- “OM”- chakra 7 (crown)
The purpose of this enlightenment – so many of us are seeking our true purpose, our destiny, our joy and our passion. We want true knowing of the direction of the destination. What better way to give yourselves a leg up and be ahead of the crowd? Also true, if you have some big decisions to make by the end of this year, this will help you choose wisely and accurately!
Good luck and please share your experiences and questions with me – I would love to know! xoxo -Kim
