How to balance the third eye chakra

In order to balance the third eye, you first have to make sure to take care of your physical body. The chakras in the physical body include root, sacral, solar plexus, heart and throat. If any of these are out of balance then itÔÇÖs not going to be possible to completely clear the third eye chakra.

Meditation

Deep meditation is needed to balance the third eye chakra.

• Sit cross-legged on a mat or sit on a chair with both feet on the floor.
• Keep your back straight, arms relaxed and your eyes closed.
• Take two or three deep breaths.
• Now focus on the area between your eyebrows. Imagine the energy rising up from the base of your body, the root chakra through the chakras to your third eye.
• Imagine a ball of indigo energy radiating outwards through the whole body from the third eye.
• Continue with the deep breathing and visualizations for as long as you are comfortable. 10 to 15 minutes is good to start with.

Try holding a crystal while you meditate or listen to some binaural beats for a stronger session.

There are several ways to cleanse your crystal. Below are the preferred methods for the Fluorite.

Cleansing with smudge sticks

Burn a sage smudge stick and wave it back and forth underneath the crystal for 20 to 30 seconds.

Cleansing using the earth

Bury your crystal for at least a day and up to several months, preferably in pure, clean soil.

Cleansing with visualisation

Visualise a bright light surrounding the crystal dissolving all the negative energy.

How to re-energise Fluorite

After cleaning your crystal of negative energy you have to then re-energise them to restore its natural energy for healing again.

Re-energising in the sunlight

Place the crystals in the sun for a few hours or all day.

Leaving them for a couple of days will allow your crystal to have the benefit from the strong energy from the sun and the more gentle energy from the moon.

Re-energising in the moonlight

Place the crystals in the light of the moon for a few hours or overnight is fine. A full moon works best.

Your crystal does not have to be in direct moonlight nor will it not charge if itÔÇÖs a cloudy night. The moonÔÇÖs energy is always there.

Programing your Fluorite crystal

Once your crystal is cleansed and re-energised you will need to set your intentions before you use them. This is to program your crystal for a specific use.

How to set your intentions

Sit quietly and hold your crystal in your hands. Clear your mind and focus on the crystal. Concentrate on the energy you wish to program the crystal with. It could be an emotional, physical or spiritual intention. Only pick one, donÔÇÖt overload the crystal with many intentions. Continue to do this until you feel that enough has been done.
