Understanding the Third Eye Chakra: A Gateway to Intuition and Vision

"The third eye is this bridge between the physical and beyond the physical," explains Kirsten Angelos, our resident Auratherapist at Asheville's historic Grove Arcade location. As an experienced aura reader and chakra specialist, Kirsten helps clients interpret their energy fields and understand the complex interplay between their chakras.

Understanding Your Aura and Its Connection to the Third Eye

Your aura is a vital component of your energetic makeup, serving as what Kirsten describes as "your extension of yourself, your biofield." This electromagnetic field surrounding your body contains crucial information about your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The third eye chakra plays a particularly important role in perceiving and interpreting these subtle energies.

"When you are someone who has a very balanced third eye," Kirsten explains, "you are tapped into all of those extra sensory perceptions that are available to you and available to everyone." This heightened awareness allows you to read and understand auras more clearly, both your own and those of others.

Reading Auras Through the Third Eye

At our Asheville location, we use advanced technology combined with expert interpretation to help you understand your aura. When clients come in for readings, we examine several key aspects:

1. Aura Size and Shape

• The extent of your energy field

• Areas of expansion or contraction

• Overall symmetry and balance

2. Color Intensity and Distribution

• Dominant colors and their meanings

• Color combinations and their significance

• Areas of brightness or darkness

3. Chakra Activity

• Energy flow between chakras

• Individual chakra strength

• Overall chakra harmony

"When I talk about the chakras," Kirsten notes, "they are working together in this transformation of energy. Manifesting things downward into the physical reality and then liberating the elements into this more cosmic energy."

The Third Eye's Role in Aura Perception

The third eye chakra serves as your internal aura reader. "If somebody comes in and I see their chart," Kirsten shares, "if I see a one in their third eye, that's the lowest number you could get. That's again, lack of clarity." This numerical system helps us understand the strength and balance of your chakras:

Understanding the Numbers

1-3: Underactive

• Difficulty perceiving energy

• Blocked intuition

• Limited spiritual awareness

• Challenges with visualization

4-6: Balanced

• Clear energy perception

• Healthy intuition

• Balanced spiritual connection

• Strong visualization abilities

7-9: Overactive

• Overwhelming energy sensitivity

• Excessive mental activity

• Potential disconnection from physical reality

• Need for grounding

The Essence of the Third Eye

Unlike the lower chakras that correspond to physical elements, the third eye operates on a more subtle plane. "There's not any physical elements that we can prescribe to the third eye," Kirsten notes. "People tend to say light since the third eye tends to be associated with vision and imagination, daydream, that kind of thing. But it is also associated as the mind element."

This powerful energy center governs our capacity to perceive beyond our physical senses, enabling access to intuition, clairvoyance, and extrasensory perception (ESP). "The cool thing about the third eye is not just about perceiving our physical reality," Kirsten explains. "It's this bridge between the physical and beyond the physical."

Developing Your Aura Perception

To enhance your ability to perceive and work with auras through the third eye, Kirsten recommends several practices:

Daily Energy Work

1. Regular meditation focused on energy awareness

2. Visualization exercises

3. Color meditation

4. Chakra breathing techniques

Sensory Development

"In Ayurveda, there's overuse of the senses, misuse of the senses, underuse of the senses," Kirsten explains. "So it's all about proper use of the senses." This includes:

• Mindful observation

• Sound awareness

• Energy sensing exercises

• Touch sensitivity development

Journaling and Documentation

• Record your energy experiences

• Track patterns in your perceptions

• Document your intuitive hits

• Note any synchronicities

Signs of Advanced Third Eye Development

When your third eye is fully activated and balanced, you may experience:

• Clear aura visualization

• Accurate energy reading

• Enhanced intuitive guidance

• Prophetic dreams

• Synchronized awareness

• Deep spiritual understanding

Understanding Your Intuitive Gifts

For those already in tune with their third eye, certain traits may be familiar. "If you are a visionary person, have great imagination, you are probably tapped into your third eye already," says Kirsten. This connection manifests as an ability to sense energies and atmospheres that others might miss. "If you walk into a room or meet a person, you can pick up on the energy there if you're really tapped in."

The Balance Between Mind and Heart

While developing third eye abilities is valuable, maintaining balance is crucial. "If you over identify with the third eye," Kirsten warns, "there's this potential of creating more division than the unification that the third eye brings." She emphasizes the importance of staying grounded: "Sadly, we cannot be up all in this energy space, like love, light, and live. We can't all hang out there."
