Our third eye chakra plays a very important role in our overall well-being. Let’s explore why and third eye chakra affirmations to support your healing journey.
Third Eye Chakra
Our third eye goes by various names such as: third eye chakra, sixth chakra and ajna chakra.
Traditionally, there is no element and we’ll learn why in just a moment. However, some people do connect light to the sixth chakra. One reason for this is when you enter into meditation with your awareness at the ajna chakra, some people begin to see light appear. Joyti is the name of this light and I explain this more in my course: Getting Unstuck.
Governing Forces
Its claim to fame is that this chakra governs our intuition. I’ll certainly be talking more about the sixth chakra and intuitive eating in future content!
This chakra also governs patterns, awareness, visualization, memory and dreams. If you follow my content, you might notice a shift from the governing forces that we’ve explored thus far.
The lower 5 chakras are very much involved with our physical bodies and our relationship with the world around us. This is why they have senses associated with them. Our senses provide us with sensory input from the outside world to derive information.
This explains why ajna chakra does not have an element. Because the third eye chakra is the command center of the lower 5 chakras. And thus, the command center to our five senses and 5 elements within each one of us. Hopefully, this helps make it a little more clear as to why it is the command center of the lower 5 chakras.
Our sixth and seventh chakra govern more of the mental and spiritual realm. They help us to make sense of the sensory input that we take in via the outside world and our first 5 chakras. Thus, our seventh chakra also does not have a sense or element. We’ll explore this more in upcoming posts.

Is Your Third Eye Chakra Out of Balance?
So why do we need affirmations to support this chakra? Ask yourself these questions…
Am I stuck in harmful patterns?
Do I have nightmares and/or can’t remember my dreams?
Do I find it hard to imagine life another way?
Do I struggle to see myself and others clearly?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, your sixth chakra might be out of balance.
Third Eye Chakra Affirmations
Affirmations with the intention of supporting your sixth chakra can help to promote healing and balance in this chakra. It can help develop your intuition, insight, awareness and ability to see changes necessary for you to move forward in your life.
Think about it…
It’s really hard to believe that you can grow and heal if you can’t imagine what that even looks like. This chakra does just that! It gives you the ability to imagine, to dream, to see life another way. With the help of the entire chakra system, one can then move forward in a manner that supports their greatest good and authentic Self.
So let’s move forward with growing and healing and explore some third eye chakra affirmations.
Take the time to ground yourself and notice how you feel when you read each one. This can give you information as to which one(s) might be supportive for you in this moment in time.
I trust my intuition
I see my patterns clearly
I trust the guidance of my dreams
I release any illusions holding me back from being my truest Self
I see myself clearly
I remember with ease
I see others clearly
I invite in guidance and clarity
I visualize with ease
I am free of harmful patterns
My sixth chakra is balanced and open
How to work with affirmations
You can use one to work with or as many as you like! I also encourage you to develop your own personal third eye chakra affirmations. Finding one that speaks to you in an authentic way, no matter how much, will have a far greater impact than picking one that doesn’t resonate.
You can set reminders with the affirmation. The reminder pops up and you say it, think it, connect with it, etc.
You can also pick one and write it down on a post-it and place it somewhere you’ll see it often. Some examples my clients like to use are a mirror, the fridge, desk, and/or computer. Ideally, pick a place you’ll see it frequently.
Enjoy this guided practice using the affirmations above to make this approach easier for you.
