Are you looking to balance and harmonize your third eye chakra with crystals? Well, let’s explore 5 that might help on your third eye chakra balancing journey.
The third eye chakra plays a significant role in our intuition, insight, and spiritual awareness. When balanced, it enhances your intuition and clarity in life. Balancing this chakra, also known as Ajna, can aid in connecting with your higher self and your innate clairvoyant abilities. So it makes perfect sense to want to balance it!
Let’s explore five third eye chakra crystals so that you may gain more clarity in your life. The descriptions are brief so please know there is so much more to know about all of these crystals. I also have resources at the end of this post to learn more about this chakra.

Working with the Crystals
A gentle reminder that:
Where your awareness goes, energy flows.
Thus, just by simply holding a crystal or stone with your awareness at your third eye, you can direct the healing properties of the crystals to your Ajna chakra. One can do this as part of a meditation practice or whenever you feel called to during the day.
To do so, you’ll want to bring your awareness and/or the crystal to your third eye, which is between the eyebrows. Some place it directly between and some focus just above. Remember it’s an energy center. There is no right or wrong, so place it where it intuitively feels “right”. This will also help to balance your third eye as you attune to and trust your intuition. Win Win friends! As I discuss in my Getting Unstuck course, the energy center is actually in the midbrain, at the Cave of Brahma. So don’t try not to overthink the placement on the forehead.
Intention and energy are much more powerful than we tend to realize. So carrying one of these crystals with the intention to balance your third eye chakra is enough friends! You can wear it as a piece of jewelry, in your pocket, your car, home, etc. Many women like to carry them in their bras. This is a great option for heart chakra crystals.
Please remember that this list is not exhaustive! There are plenty of other incredible crystals and stones out there to support your entire third eye chakra.
