If you have already moved through the shadow of the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, and throat chakras, you are ready to move on to the sixth chakra: the third eye. If you have ever done any healing work in a group, you’ve likely had the experience of sitting in a circle with strangers who seem to have very little in common at first. Once people vulnerably share their stories, though, you discover how much you can relate to one another. And not only can you relate, but you can empathize because you’ve been there too, and you will be there again, and you know how they feel. For most of my patients, this shows up as indecision that’s related to life choices they feel defined by. They are losing sleep at night because they believe that whatever mask they choose to put on is the only mask they’ll ever be able to wear for the rest of their lives. If you have only one chance to define yourself, the choice you make is paramount and potentially paralyzing. But this is all driven by the shadow of duality because we all have access to every possibility we can imagine. To heal this wound, we must move from the shadow state of the third-eye chakra into its gift. For this reason, healing the third eye’s wound does not awaken your psychic ability because it allows you to magically see into the future. It strengthens your psychic ability because it allows you to see more possibilities and how each one could shape your life. Here are three exercises to help you move into the gift of the third eye: Eastern philosophy threads through all of Matluck’s work.
