Learn How to Use Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls to Balance the Third Eye Chakra

A balanced and open, flowing chakra system is easy to attain with some discipline and a few simple tools. Combining the use of quartz crystal singing bowls with meditation can effectively open your chakras. There are seven chakras in the system, each with their own specific function. Read on to find out about the third eye chakra, arguably the most fascinating chakra of them all, and an easy and simple meditation with a quartz crystal singing bowl that can open and unlock it.

What Is the Third Eye Chakra?

The third eye chakra is the sixth energy center in the chakra system, and it is located just above and between your two eyes, which is why it is also known as the brow chakra. It governs the brain, nervous system, eyes, ears, nose, pineal gland and pituitary gland. This is the chakra most famously responsible for your extra-sensory abilities, such as intuition, clairvoyance, and telepathy, but it also governs more mundane abilities such as your powers of visualization, dreams and imagination. Well-balanced, the third eye blesses the individual with strong intuitive, psychic and intellectual gifts, as well as openness to new ideas and people. Wisdom, awareness, objectivity, and the ability to learn from your experiences are all qualities of an individual with a healthy third eye chakra. However, if you allow this chakra to go out of balance, you will end up being rigid and unimaginative, with an over-reliance on rational and logical thinking. People with an imbalance here may also come across flighty and preoccupied, living too much in the mind, or at the worst, delusional with an inability to differentiate fantasy from reality.

Opening Your Third Eye Chakra With Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation

The note associated with the third eye chakra is A and its color is indigo blue. For the quartz crystal singing bowl meditation, it is important to have one that is specifically tuned to the note of A for this meditation to work, since each chakra has its own special vibration. It is not effective substitute different notes for the same chakra.

To begin, set aside a few minutes of time when you will be uninterrupted and make yourself as comfortable as possible. You can be seated or laying down - it is entirely up to you. Strike your singing bowl three times to signal the beginning of your meditation. Then run the striker around the rim and start playing the bowl, making sure that the sounds grows into a steady, pure even tone. Then slow your breathing down to a steady, even pace, making sure to breathe deeply and fully.

The meditation is best done with your eyes closed, but if you can't manage that while playing the bowl, you may keep your eyes open.Look upwards with your inner eyes toward your third eye area, or in other words, focus your attention solely on that area. The combination of the sound of your singing bowl, plus steady focus on the third eye will gently open the chakra. If you want, you can also imagine a blue flame or pearl emanating from your third eye. Do this for short stretches of time only, as you do not want to open your third eye too fast or too soon. It should be a gradual process. Some affirmation you may want to try for this chakra include:

• I open myself to my intuition and deepest knowing.
• I create clarity and unlimited vision for myself about my life.
• I am open to new ideas, people, and situations, which will enhance my joy and happiness.

With practice and diligent effort, using these techniques with your quartz crystal singing bowl will be sure to give you an open, flowing third eye chakra and its blessing of intuitive, psychic and intellectual gifts.
