Do you want to be more in touch with your intuition? Or do you believe you can’t trust it? Do you have big decisions to make but the facts alone aren’t clear enough for you to choose? If so, then you might want to start working with third eye chakra crystals!
Balancing the Ajna chakra helps us to see things more clearly. It allows us to access our intuition and inner wisdom, and to make better decisions based on that information.
In this blog post, we will discuss the best third eye chakra crystals and what they can do for you!
Why you want to balance your Third Eye Chakra
The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra in the body, the second highest under the crown chakra. And it is located between your eyebrows.
This energy center is responsible for intuition, wisdom, third-eye insight, and psychic abilities. It also has a connection to your creativity and is responsible for your visions, your plans, and ideas in regard to your work, your art, and your life.
Because of this connection to the mind’s creative potential as well as higher consciousness (the spiritual realm) third eye chakras are often referred to simply as “the third eye”.
Having a balanced 6th chakra is important for many aspects of your life!
Some signs that your 3rd eye is out of balance include:
- Having trouble seeing both sides of an argument
- The tendency to make decisions based on superficial feelings rather than wisdom
- Difficulty trusting your own intuition
- Difficulty to meditate or focus on one thing
- Feeling like you’re “not all there” and just sleepwalking through life.
The third eye can be blocked by stress, anxiety, and other mental or emotional issues. When this happens it can lead to a lack of intuition and insight as well as a lack of creativity and imagination.
When the third eye chakra is overactive you might experience an increase in anxiety and stress levels. Thought spirals might get out of control and you get dragged into a lot of worrying. You might also become more suspicious, feeling like you can’t truly see the motivations of others which leads to a need to control everything and everyone around you.
If your third eye chakra is underactive you might feel disconnected from your intuition and higher knowledge. Your connection to your spiritual side might be weak and you might have trouble seeing the bigger picture or making long-term plans.
When balanced correctly with healing practices like meditation using third eye chakra crystals you can heal and open this energy center and bring yourself back into alignment.

How to use Third Eye Chakra Crystals
While this might be difficult to do with a blocked third eye, trust your intuition when choosing the stones to work with! If that is too difficult at the moment, go by their individual healing properties and choose the stone that most matches your current needs.
Once you have picked the healing crystals that resonate with you, you can start working with the stones.
While there are many great ways to use healing crystals, I want to suggest one specific path here to balance your third eye chakra!
We’ll start with meditation – which, yes, isn’t easy if you currently have a blocked third eye. But it is also incredibly efficient to go right to the center of the issue! Once you have found that equilibrium again and are able of sitting with your crystals, you will have taken a huge step forward!
In addition to this, I suggest carrying your main third eye chakra crystal with you daily for at least a month to anchor the progress you are making through third eye chakra meditation.
Healing a chakra is a process that takes time and patience. But once you have taken this first step with meditation and carrying crystals, you have already brought back some balance to your third eye chakra and get a better feel for how long it will take to heal it, should that be necessary.
Third Eye Meditation
A great way to really open yourself up to your own inner voice is meditating while holding third eye chakra crystals in your hand. This will help connect you with the energy of the stone and allow its energies to work more effectively.
If you are new to meditation, start by finding a comfortable position to sit in. You can do this on the ground with your legs crossed or in a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Once you are seated, take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.
I had a very difficult time starting with meditation and found it helpful in the beginning to set myself a timer with a nice mindfulness gong sound. I started with just 2 minutes on the first day, then 5 on the second day. I stayed at 5 minutes for several days until I felt that after the gong, I could continue sitting.
So, with your eyes closed and knowing that the gong will “rescue” you soon enough, just focus on your breath and the feel of the stone in your hand. Nothing else matters.
I recommend that you don’t use a guided meditation when you want to start balancing the third eye, only quiet music if you can’t sit in complete silence. The voice of a guided meditation draws the focus, which is generally a good thing, but when you want to connect with your inner voice, you should listen only for this and not be distracted by someone else’s voice.
As you breathe in and out, imagine the energy of the stone entering your body and filling the area between your eyebrows with bright warm light. The crystal’s positive energy is expanding within you, opening up your third eye chakra so you can access your intuition and your inner wisdom.
Look inside yourself for that inner voice and let it come and be heard.
Continue to breathe deeply until you hear the gong or until you feel done. When you are finished, take a few more deep breaths and slowly open your eyes to come back to the world.
Clear quartz and purple fluorite are particularly good third eye chakra crystals for meditation. Both stones help to clear and focus your mind and are perfect to support you when you start your Ajna meditation!
Carrying Third Eye Chakra Stones
Wearing third eye chakra stones as jewelry or pocket stone helps to keep the chakra balanced. You can acknowledge and touch the crystals regularly to gain more clarity and insight when you need it.
Choose one or two stones that attract you the most and carry them with you for several weeks to really let their energies sink in. You can also sleep with the crystals under your pillow to receive their energies while you rest.
I recommend to limit yourself to just one or two stones so that their energies don’t become too overwhelming or conflicting. Wearing several stones at the same time can create a “muddy” energy that is hard to decipher.
Of course, you can have several different sets of pocket stones or beaded bracelets and, depending on the challenges of the day, you can pick the crystals that will best support you.
However you use your healing crystals, make sure to charge and cleanse the stones regularly!
So, take the step and try out some of these amazing third eye chakra crystals, see how they work for you. Intuition is key when it comes to making decisions in life, so using these stones can only benefit you!
