The Third Eye Chakra, also known as Ajna, is the energy centre, located slightly above and between the eyebrows, centre of the forehead. It is responsible for intuition, perception and inner wisdom.
When this chakra is balanced, we experience clarity of thought, heightened intuition and a deep connection to our inner guidance. However, when this chakra is out of balance, we may experience confusion, lack of focus or difficulty trusting our intuition.
Fortunately, there are holistic techniques, including the use of specific musical notes and Indian ragas, that can help rebalance the third eye chakra from the comfort of your own home.
Using Sound/Music Therapy to Balance the Third Eye Chakra
Sound therapy is a powerful tool for chakra healing, as each chakra is associated with specific musical notes that resonate with its energy.
For the third eye chakra, the note A (Indian Classical note: Dha, Western musical note: La) is commonly used for balancing and harmonizing its energies.
Humming or chanting this note for a few minutes daily can help harmonise the chakra. You can also use tuning forks, meditation bowls, or even play the note on instruments like the flute, harmonium, or violin, tuned to A.
Indian Ragas for Third Eye Chakra Healing
Several Indian ragas are cited as particularly effective for balancing the third eye chakra due to their vibrational qualities and emotional resonance.
Among these, Raga Bhageshri is frequently mentioned in various sources worldwide for their ability to evoke feelings of intuition, insight and inner vision.
Finding Your Rhythm: A Simple Practice to Balance the Third Eye Chakra at Home
Create a Sacred Space: Dim the lights, light some candles (indigo is the third eye chakra's color!) and create an ambiance that feels calming and inviting.
Get Comfortable: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, with your spine erect but relaxed. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Visualise the Flow: As you listen or hum, visualise a radiant-indigo light emanating from your third eye center. See it expanding with each breath, opening your inner vision and enhancing your intuition.
Embrace the Sound: There are many ways to experience Raga Bhageshri:
- Play a recording of these ragas through a speaker.
- If you’re musically inclined, try playing the notes of the ragas on an instrument like a sitar, harmonium or flute.
- Simply hum the note A – a simple yet potent practice.
Chant the Seed Mantra: The third eye chakra's seed mantra is "OM" or "AUM." While listening to the ragas or humming the note, gently chant this mantra silently or aloud.
Basking in Harmony: Continue for 10-15 minutes, or as long as feels intuitively right. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the sound and the visualization.
However, it's essential to remember that individual experiences and interpretations may vary and what works best for one person may not have the same effect for another.
Ultimately, the choice of raga for third eye chakra balancing may depend on personal resonance and experimentation.
Exploring different ragas and observing their effects on your energy and mood can help determine which one works best for you in supporting third eye chakra healing and alignment.
