Have you ever just known something in your bones, without being able to explain why? That is the power of a balanced Third Eye. In a world increasingly dominated by AI, rapid-fire information, and the disruptive energy of Uranus in Gemini, your inner vision is your most valuable compass.
In this episode, we explore:
- The Paradox of Knowing: Why the moment you try to validate or justify your intuition, you lose the connection.
- Third Eye Anatomy: Understanding the link between your cognition, the pineal gland, and the temporal lobe.
- Pattern Recognition vs. Paranoia: How to distinguish a clear "cognitive hit" from heightened anxiety or "reading into everything."
- The Grounded Mystic: Why an open Third Eye can lead to "floating" (psychosis/disconnection) if not properly anchored in the body.
- The Frequency of Harmony: Recognizing interpersonal dissonance and choosing coherence over friction.
- Tools for Clarity: A 4-4-4-4 breathing technique, neural patterning exercises, and why cleaning your physical space actually clears your "inner lens."

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Rigor Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me. Today. We're going to continue
with our chakra series. Today we're going to dive into
the third eye, which is such a curious and interesting
energetic system in the body. And it's complex. Just when
(00:29):
I say the third eye, we know that it's connected
to intuition and inner knowing and psychic abilities, but it's
so much deeper than that, because it is literally connected
to your cognition, brain function, mental patterns, and consciousness. So
(00:50):
it's complex and it's to me, the most complex energetic
system to tangibly explain or even teach, so to speak.
And this podcast and is not about teaching, it's more
about revealing. And that's really what the third eye touches.
(01:12):
It touches something inside of us that is infinite, like
stored energy or information or intelligence, wisdom, even that we
just know. And when the third eye is balanced, open
(01:33):
and harmonious, it's not so much that time and space breaks,
but you touch something so deep and so true that
you don't need to explain or rationalize or justify. So
it's almost like the thinking mind, the rational mind melts
(01:59):
into a deeper intelligence, a greater intelligence. And yes, do
I sound lofty and esoteric when I speak of this, Yes,
But that's the third eye. And the third eye literally,
if we're gonna have a placement for it, is between
your two eyes on your face, and it encapsulates your eyes,
(02:22):
your brain, and that part of the skull, even your temples,
your temporal lobe. But there is the pineal gland, which
a lot of times is associated with the third eye,
which is this little like walnut shaped thing withinside the brain.
And I don't even know how to explain it biologically,
(02:43):
but it can get plaque around it. And the more
you get into your own meditation and stillness and clearing
of the mind, the body, the spirit, the clearer that
part of your brain and energy system functions to be
(03:04):
able to touch or tap into that inner knowing. And
when we tap into our inner knowing, it's like a
higher level of perception, revelation. Pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is
a big piece of the third eye. And I'm not
so much talking about taking an IQ test or an
(03:29):
SAT where one of these things is not like the other.
Recognizing literal patterns in numbers that can be part of it.
And that is but that is more connected to cognition
and intelligence. This is more like connecting the cosmic dots,
so synchronicity, it's pattern recognition. Not only synchronisit synchronistically, but
(03:55):
also within yourself and your life and being able to
just concern or remove yourself from the actual pattern you're noticing.
So it's removing bias. And I will give you some
examples of a functioning open third eye. But it's when
the mind becomes still enough that your consciousness can actually
(04:22):
reveal or touch what is true, and that truth becomes
this inner knowing. And whenever I touch my own inner
knowing where I just know something like I know it
in my cells, in my DNA, in my bones. When
I know something like that through and through and I
(04:44):
feel it like I can literally, it's a clear cognizance,
which is like a clear knowing, a clear feeling, a
clear truth. There's usually no need to justify it, prove
it it, argue it, rationalize it. I just know. But
(05:05):
the moment that I start to try, I don't love
that word, but I'm going to use it with this,
try to validate it, ground it, plead a case for it.
I've lost it. So again, do I sound esoteric and
a little bit elusive when I explain this, Yeah, because
that's what the third eye is. It's like the minute
(05:27):
it is balanced, clear, open and harmonious, the moment you
try to rationalize it or put it into a box
or define it is the moment you lose it. So
it's almost paradoxical. It's like when you get it, you
don't get it. When you know it, you don't know it.
And that's the beauty of the third eye. There's a saying,
(05:48):
when you know you don't know, then you know. That's
the third eye. When you know you don't know, that's
when you know. And what happens with the third eye's
perception becomes clear, attuned, fine tuned. And it's not about
(06:08):
psychic ability so much, especially in a performative way or
a way that you are making predictions. It is more
about clearing mental noise. Clearing mental noise, fear and friction
or other chaos in and around you enough to be
(06:33):
able to see clearly. And that is something we associate
with the third eye, is clear seeing, clear knowing, inner knowing.
And the one thing with the third eye that I
find with most people who have a very open third
eye chakra that is also balanced with the other chakras.
(06:57):
Because it's very easy to have an open third eye
chakra and then not be grounded. And let me I'll
give you an example of this that is the simplest
one that come to mind. There are a lot of
very connected, in tune, intuitive people that have a psychic
genius to them, an inner knowing. Sometimes this shows up
(07:22):
in things that are diagnosed, like diagnosed schizophrenia and certain
mental I'm gonna say mental health diagnosis. This can show
up that way. A very very active third eye and
crown chakra actually, but ungrounded in the physical body. But
sometimes when you have people that work in the metaphysical
(07:46):
world or the spiritual world, they're not super grounded in
sometimes their business practices, their finance, the execution of what
they do, setting boundaries, and we can all be in
that in life, absolutely, But it reminds me of sometimes
when I go to places like Sedona, it's just a
(08:08):
very energetic space and I can only be in Sedona
for a few days. I wouldn't want to live in
Sedona or be in Sodona long term because it's just
too active for me energetically. And when I go to Sedona,
my goodness, I love it because it gives me what
I need, even when I don't know what I need,
(08:29):
and it upgrades me. And then it unfolds after I
leave over the course of the next six months or so,
kind of like an eclipse. But when I go visit Sedona,
a lot of times there are these really incredible well
not a lot of times, there are incredible healers and
people with phenomenal gifts that are very dedicated spiritually and
(08:52):
it's part of their path and their journey. But a
lot of times it's like they're floating, you know. And
I I'm all about being a gypsy or a hippie
or and I don't even know if those are politically
correct words anymore. So forgive that if my language is
not meeting new standards of where we are. But sometimes
(09:14):
things can just feel so ungrounded. People can be so
ungrounded that the information and the intelligence and the vastness
that can come through and flood the crown chakra and
the third eye doesn't come through in a practical human way.
(09:37):
And again it's really difficult to explain the chakra and
the refinement of it. Think of it as refining your perception.
And it's like watching the news these days, which a
lot of us. I mean, my goodness, I don't watch
the news. I haven't watched the news news in a
(09:57):
very long time. I get my news feeds and I
have my news outlets, so I certainly am informed as
to what is going on in the world, but I
don't watch the news. However, when I do watch the news,
it becomes very clear to me very quickly what I
(10:17):
resonate with and what just feels untrue, fake propaganda, exacerbated,
fear based, or with an agenda, and so I don't
even resonate with it anymore. So a great tuning fork
or tuning space for you to think about, think about
(10:40):
third eye, no thinking. But it's like this combination of
thinking and knowing so tricky. But one thing to become
aware of is where you just know something and you
where you recognize, recognize really important word, recognize what you
(11:04):
feel coherent with and where you feel incoherence, ease and disease.
Those are probably if you were going to write down
a couple of words to start recognizing, cognizing, noticing within
your body, it's what or whom or where feels cohesive
(11:28):
and where there's coherence and ease versus where there's dissonance,
resistance and disease. And recently in the past couple of years,
and it's gotten louder and louder, especially in twenty twenty six. Energetically,
many of us are recognizing, recognizing imbalances and frequencies amongst
(11:57):
our friendships, our family, and interpersonally. And it's difficult to
navigate because we can love people, whether they're our family
of origin or long term childhood friends, whoever, are colleagues
you've worked with for a long time and it's been
(12:17):
functional or you're on the same page, all of a sudden,
something is feeling out of harmony, out of whack, incoherent,
and it's not coming from a place of judgment or
anger or fear. It's just like one of these things
is not like the other, like a little bit of
square peg round whole energy. That's that's third eye energy.
(12:43):
It has nothing to do with the heart chakra or
your solar plexus. It is where you are telepathically. That's
third eye energetically recognizing frequency and if your frequency, if
you're a tuned to this same resonant frequency, or you
(13:05):
are slightly off, and it doesn't mean that you can't
connect or communicate or be with but something feels a
little bit off, and it can feel very lonely because
you feel like, gosh, am I awkward. Is something wrong
with me? How do I communicate this? Why do I
(13:28):
feel off? I love this person, but I just am
not jiving with them. Or here's the other stuff that
may be coming through. Gosh, I'm just not interested in
them anymore, or I don't really have the need to
talk to this person or connect with them. I love them,
I'm so grateful there in my life, but there I
(13:50):
just don't we're not on the same page. A lot
of that is coming up this year and right now,
and many of us are feeling it. And we're learning
a new language and a frequency because we're moving to
a higher baseline energetically, and a lot of that is
happening in this third eye space. So it's refining a
(14:11):
new frequency and a new perception. So the third eye
really does govern our inner vision, our inner knowing, our
discernment and intuition, a deeper sense of pattern recognition, symbolic intelligence,
or synchronicity, dreams and memory dreams for sure, and for
(14:37):
many of you who remember your dreams, well, some people
have that gift where they remember they wake up and
they very clearly remember their dreams. It's a very active
third eye that has the ability to cognize information from
the astral plane or information energetically or unconsciously. It's a
(15:01):
very active third eye and the opportunity there is to
ground it in to be able to interpret dreams or
use that dream state in your waking state. And that's
a whole episode where I can talk about dreams and
the third eye and the astral plane, and we'll do
that in the upcoming weeks, because the dreams seem to
(15:22):
be very active for people right now, and there's a
lot of unconscious processing on a very rapid pace, and
the body is also trying to interpret it, and it's
coming through in a lot of pain and quirks in
the body, especially the spinal cord. And a lot of
you are raising your hand because that's been going on
for you recently, because there's a lot of electricity and
(15:44):
electro magnetic energy flowing through your body and it's processing
through the third eye, but it's going down through the
brain stem and into the spinal column. So that's some
third eye stuff, but just know that that's going on.
(16:05):
The third eye is also future sensing or pre cognitive,
absolutely pre cognitive. It's also where your imagination is and
your clairvoyance, the Claires, the clairvoyance, Claire audience, Claire sentience,
Clare cognisance, all of that lives in the third eye.
Yes it does. I wrote a blog gosh, it's been
(16:26):
a long time ago, years ago, and we will link
it on the claires. What are the claires Claire audience,
Clare cognizance, clairvoyance, and how do you flex those muscles
because usually we have one or two strong Claires in
our intuitive body. It's either Claire audience and Clare sentience,
Clare cognisance and clairvoyance. Usually, if you can figure out
(16:49):
your top two, those are the muscles that you want
to strengthen from an intuitive perspective. But the most functional
to me and ground did aspect of the third eye
is the capacity to witness your own thoughts and your
inner knowing and not be run by them or ruled
(17:13):
by your thoughts, overruled by your thoughts. Even it's the
ability to recognize energy and patterns beneath appearances, and to
not absorb any of that stuff personally to be able
to use it as knowing to move more intelligently and
(17:34):
energetically in the world with greater ease and coherence. So
it's almost like the third eye is a very mystical bridge.
We talked about the heart chakra being like the bridge
between the lower chakras and the upper chakras. The third
eye is the bridge between the body, the cells, the
(17:57):
DNA and multidimensional energy, multidimensional time. So it's like the
third eye sits at the intersection of the brain, the
nervous system, intuition, and your consciousness. That's a lot because
it's a lot of it is very difficult and intangible
(18:21):
to touch. So think of it this way, and again
I'm using that word think of it, and every time
I say that with this it feels like a misnomer.
But if the brain processes information, your nervous system filters
your sense of safety and security, your mind interprets your experience,
(18:45):
and the third eye perceives pattern So together, when all
of those systems quote unquote are functioning, the third eye
isn't about thinking better. It's developing a more refined relationship
(19:07):
with your own intelligence, your DNA, your body, your mind,
your spirit, and it's intelligence that can observe without becoming
overwhelmed by the thinking mind a lot of times, and
I've been there myself. I see it with people and clients.
(19:27):
It's like we brush up against something infinite or something
we just know in ourselves and DNA that is very intuitive,
very true, feels very real and lived and grounded and
infinite at the same time. And then where do we go.
We go into I need more, I need more answers,
more rationalization, more proof, more validation. And that's when we
(19:52):
start to move into a different part of the brain,
more practical, pragmatic functioning, and we move out of the
balance with that mystical space of the third eye. So
one of the healthyest things that you can do to
flex the muscle of your third eye is to quiet
(20:13):
the mind, which means being still and yes, meditating. Meditating
is one of those places where you flex that muscle.
And you may be raising your hand and saying, Amanda,
I just I don't meditate, well, I don't like to meditate,
or I don't know how, or I can't shut off
(20:35):
my mind, you can there's no doing it right well
or perfect. It's more about taking the time out to
be still. And years ago, when I first started meditating
or becoming still and quiet, somebody just said to me,
just be still, close your eyes, and when a thought
(20:55):
enters your mind, think of it like a cloud, and
you just push the clouds. And every time you move
a cloud over, you're just creating a little bit more
blue sky or endless sky. And it's funny because that was, gosh,
that was well over a decade ago. And even today,
(21:16):
when I get still quiet and meditate and I am
moving the clouds and the thoughts away in my mind,
something happens sometimes where after I've started to quiet the
thoughts and enter that empty space, where I start craving
(21:36):
the empty space. It's the wildest, most amazing thing. Once
you find or sit with or touch that stillness that's
so vast and infinite, it's like you're thirsty for more
of it, and in order to find more of it,
it's about becoming more still and right now. And this
(21:59):
is really important. If you don't take anything away from this,
maybe you take this away. Astrologically, Urinus is in Gemini
and Gemini is about perception, cognition, the thinking mind, the
right and left hemispheres of the brain. Gemini is fast moving.
(22:20):
It loves information, It loves to put the puzzle pieces together.
It is the journalist archetype of our zodiac. It is
the investigative journalist that is so good at finding facts,
putting it together, communicating the facts. When you have Urinus,
this electric planet of disruption, which even looking at Urinus
(22:44):
through a telescope and how it sits in the sky,
it's really twisted and warped. It's a very fascinating planet,
but it's not normal. It doesn't operate normally. So when
you have this electrified planet touching our mind and our
thoughts and our consciousness, they're fast right now. And we
know how AI intelligence the world is rapidly and compoundingly
(23:10):
speeding up. If there was ever a time to become
more still in the mind, to be able to integrate
more information and more intelligence and touch base with our
inner knowing and our intuition, it's now, and everything externally
about this year says, don't be still. But in order
(23:33):
for you to tap in to your intuition, your discernment,
which is necessary imperative even in the upcoming years. It
requires stillness. And if you're like Amanda, I just can't
do it. I can't meditate. I can't do the stillness thing. Well.
I do walking meditations all the time, you know. I
(23:54):
don't put my earbuds in and I just walk and
I let the sunlight hit my face and I talk
to the sun. Hey son, cleanse and clear my energy,
root and ground me, optimize my cognition, my function, my
third eye. That to me is a form of prayer
and meditation that clears and cleanses and regulates my third eye.
(24:17):
There are all sorts of forms of meditation. Do what
works for you. But another way to also integrate or
balance the third eye is through your breath. And I've
talked about this before. I do a lot of breathing
practices myself, with clients and with my online community, the
(24:39):
frequency field. We practice a lot of this and have
been seeing some pretty incredible results. But with the breath,
when you breathe in through the nose fully and usually
at four seconds or more on an inhale, at about
three seconds maybe less, you're in hail has already moved
(25:02):
from the base of your belly through the heart space,
and once your breath hits your chest, your lung, your
heart space, and you feel it expand and then you
keep going. What happens is spinal fluid moves from the
sacrum so the base of your spine all the way up,
(25:23):
and once it hits your thoracic spine, your heart, chakra
and lungs, it automatically like one of those you know
when you're at a fair and they have that hammer
thing and you hammer down on it and it hits
the ding ding ding buzzer thing, you know, the strong
man or the strong woman. I don't know what those
(25:43):
things are called, but y'all know what I'm talking about.
But it's like, once your breath hits your heart space
and it keeps going, it automatically flushes the brain with
spinal fluid, and that spinal fluid clears and cleanses the
brain and the pineal gland. So it is an activation
(26:04):
of your third eye. So if you stop and you
do what people call box breathing, I don't know where
that name came from, and I was never taught this.
I just call it a four four four four breath cycle.
Were you inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four,
hold for four, repeat and repeat it four times. You
(26:28):
are literally a tuning your third eye. And another practice
that has to do with the breath and also your
physiological self. And this is my favorite one and it
works if you are having a moment of anxiety or stress,
or you can't figure out an answer to something, or
(26:50):
you just need a beat. This is like best bang
for your buck stuff. Drop your chin to your chest,
close your eyes, close your mouth, and inhale and do
that four four breathing pattern. Inhale through the nose fully
for four seconds. Hold exhale fully through the nose four seconds.
(27:14):
Hold four seconds. And by inhaling and exhaling through the nose,
dropping your chin to your chest, closing your eyes, closing
your mouth, you are literally bowing the head into the heart.
The heart's electromagnetic. You're connecting the third eye with the
heart through the throat chakra through your breath, so physiologically
(27:41):
you're doing something. But when you breathe like that, you
are sinking the right and the left hemispheres of the brain,
so that right there is a third eye cleanse. And
it's also a really good reset in your day if
you're stressed or overfunctioning. So those are really good tricks
(28:01):
or resources that you can pull from to reset and
just think. If you stop, pause and breathe like that
for a few breath cycles three or four times a day,
that doesn't take any time at all, but it gives
you pause and it starts to signal to your body.
(28:22):
You're sells and your DNA. I'm creating space. I'm listening within,
I'm turning off the noise externally, and I'm looking for
the intelligence to reveal itself from within. It's also recognizing
how intelligent you are, infinite and divine. So a balanced
(28:42):
third eye would look something like clear knowing or clear
perception without paranoia or a need to know. Overfunctioning cognitively
intuition that feels calm and true, not frantic and needing
to know. You notice patterns or synchronicities without obsessing over them.
(29:09):
You can also recognize or tell the difference between fear
and inner knowing. You trust the first clean hit without
needing constant validation, so it's a clear yes or a
clear no, and you trust it and you go with it.
You pause before in trying to interpret something you just
(29:30):
take it in and you know, without needing to explain
or interpret a few other things that will show you
a more balanced third eye or reflect that back to
you is less reactivity to external noise meaning other people's stuff,
other people's drama, or even a need to engage yourself
(29:52):
with other people's drama, and not being as physically affected
by other people's stuff. I will tell you this because
this is has come up recently for me and for
some other people lately. Just the energy feels right now,
very very turned up, and I can feel it in
(30:12):
my body and my third eye. It's like I can
feel it out of whack. And my coping mechanism has
been to ground through food, like and eating. It's like
I keep needing to eat to ground and satiate my body.
And it's not about hunger at all. It's more like
self soothing coping mechanism. But it's almost as if and
(30:36):
I feel this in my bones and DNA, so to
me it feels very true, is that my third eye
is opening up to something that I have not seen,
known or touched before, and my physical body and cells
are attempting to regulate higher and so they're compensating by
(30:56):
some old coping mechanisms. That's why I think we also
see a lot of people right now who, whether it's
through addiction, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, things are feeling really high
high or low low because we're trying to regulate. We
are ingesting energetically so much, and the third eye is
(31:18):
a huge place where our bodies and nervous systems are
regulating or at least attempting to regulate higher and it's difficult.
It's almost like shock to the body. Other tells of
(31:38):
a balanced third eye are being able to see patterns, synchronicities, dreams,
but again not needing immediate answers or clarity or truth
with those things. So being able to hold mystery or mysticism,
so to speak, without immediate answers. Also feeling guided and
(32:00):
coherent but ground it at the same time, so open
and attune, connecting with your higher self, your soul, but
also feeling very connected materially and in this world, very present,
but also much faster, much greater. Also solitude and quiet time,
(32:24):
like recognizing that as a necessity, where I crave my
quiet and solitude because I need it. I need my
mornings or my evenings or a cutout space in my day,
and sometimes it's smaller than others, just depending on the
(32:44):
day and what's on my plate. But that quiet time
with myself and to pray or meditate or journal or
just be is so imperative, and that's me touching and
touching base within myself. Also, one more thing I'll say
(33:06):
about the third eye, and I'll give you some examples
as I close to just from gosh my experience of
when I knew my third eye was activated and awakened
in ways that I hadn't been able to communicate her
ground in before. But a lot of times the third
eye is like an understanding without needing to be explained
(33:32):
as real. And it's not about living in fantasy or
illusion or imagination. It's again it could I know. I
keep repeating myself because the third eye is more complex
to explain, but it's an inner knowing without needing to
(33:53):
justify or explain. And it's not that the third eye
isn't scientifically our intuition or inner knowing hasn't been scientifically studied.
It's more studied than ever and becoming. There's more scientific
evidence for our telepathy frequency and all of these extrasensory
(34:15):
gifts that we have. So it's becoming more normalized than
it is mystical. Even when you know your third eye
might be out of whack or imbalanced or even blocked.
It's when you find yourself like obsessed with making meaning
(34:37):
or understanding things or reading into every little thing, like
everything being a sign in synchronicity. And do I feel
like everything could be a synchronicity? Absolutely, it can. There's
a difference in cohesion and analysis reading into everything heightened
(34:59):
anxiety disguised as intuition when it comes through in the
form of fear or paranoia, Like sometimes I'll have people
come to me and say, oh, I keep getting this
sign and I'm seeing this and it must be this.
And sometimes signs absolutely can be warnings and omens when
we have those intuitive hits, But usually someone's energy field
(35:22):
denotes whether it's fear and paranoia versus and mental looping
versus a very clear precognitive or intuitive hit. Needing signs
constantly is an auto whack third eye, And a lot
of times when people are waking up intuitively, like, it's
(35:44):
not so much that they need signs constantly, they want them.
They're craving them, they're hungry for them. So a lot
of times when your third eye activates or it's going
through a higher activation stage, it will be overactive, so
you're gonna have that craving and wanting to know, just
just being able to stop and be still and to
trust and to know. Another time, the third eye it's
(36:06):
really active. This is kind of a funny one because
it's very connected to the solar plexus. Is when people
have this kind of god complex or need to be
terminally unique or special, like I'm the chosen one, Like
my gifts are more incredible than other people, and there
are like a lot of times people just want to
be seen, witnessed, held because we are incredible and divine
(36:32):
and unique. But sometimes when the third eye is activating,
it's like, but my story is more unique than anybody
else's and it can feel that way and if there's
a beauty to that. But then there's also kind of
a hyperactivity where it kind of moves into a danger zone.
So just notice we all can go to those places.
(36:56):
But also I would say with a third eye where
it's a little elusive, is mistaking kind of an intensity
for truth. So it's just knowing. If you are incapable
of looking at something from the most like the highest,
most objective place, then it's probably not your third eye.
(37:18):
And again it's really difficult to explain the third eye,
and for me personal examples, I mean, throughout the years,
there's a multitude of ways I could explain this personally.
But I remember, I don't know, twelve thirteen years ago,
when my intuition and my higher self I started consciously
(37:41):
connecting with my higher self and bringing in and retrieving,
revealing innate wisdom things that I had already known. First
of all, it was like astrology and numerology just downloaded
for me, And they really didn't download, they uploaded. So
that's probably the difference. The word download gets used a lot.
I prefer uploaded, meaning all it is is accessed or
(38:03):
retrieved within your cells or DNA. So it was like
I remembered astrology, I remembered numerology. It was always there.
I didn't create it. I just knew it and I
knew how to communicate it. That happened years ago, but
that's to me, that's kind of normalized because it's been
(38:25):
so long ago. But the probably one of the wilder
things that ever happened to me is I remember I
was coming home one night and this was I don't know,
maybe twenty fourteen. I was driving home. It was as dark,
and I pulled into the driveway and I had we
(38:46):
had this carport, and I pulled into the carport and
I thought, I'm gonna, like, before I walk in the
back door, I'm going to walk out and look up
at the stars because something is up there. Like it
came seemingly out of the blue. That whole intuitive hit
to go stand and stare up at the stars. And
(39:08):
immediately when I looked up, there were two craft in
the sky and they were not stars, and they were
moving and they had laser lights. And it was a
whole experience and I had never experienced anything so otherworldly,
(39:28):
but I intuitively knew, telepathically new to park my car
and go look up at the stars. And I wasn't
looking up at the stars looking for craft. I just
looked up and then I thought, well, those aren't stars.
Oh wait a minute, And then it was a whole thing.
And then I went into the house and I told
my husband and he was like, what you know, So
this has been so long ago and I've had so
(39:48):
many experiences like that, but I remember, how did I know?
And I had pulled into the driveway so many other
times and not walked out and looked up at the sky.
But that night, I was like, I gotta go look
up at the sky, and then all of a sudden,
I saw something that I had never been able to
see before. So also with the third eye, there's a
(40:10):
level of consciousness, and when you resonate or vibrate at
a certain frequency, then you can see things that you
haven't seen before. Think of it like this. You remember
those seeing eye pictures where it would be kind of
like a where's Waldo, but not a where's Waldo? And
then once you stared at it long enough, the Statue
of Liberty would appear, or the Empire State Building or
the Golden Gate Bridge. It's like those seeing eye pictures.
(40:33):
That is a tuning the third eye. When you stare
and all of a sudden, it's almost like your gaze
fixates and it pixelates, something pixelates and comes out of
the pixelation and you see a whole other image within
an image. That's a functioning third eye. When I read
(40:53):
for someone, when I drop into an altered state of consciousness.
And this is the way I have explained it for
many years. I will say, it's like Amanda moves to
the side, and it's like a three way conversation. Amanda
is here communicating for your higher self. There's you, there's
Amanda communicating for your higher self, and then there's Amanda.
(41:15):
Amanda's like the peanut gallery. Amanda will jump in, interject
and ask questions. But I literally become clear, clean, and
a vessel to communicate energetically because I'm entrained with someone's
frequency and I know how to do this. But I
move out of the way, and when I move out
of the way, Amanda, I am out of bias, out
(41:38):
of judgment. Even if I know the person I am
reading for or have known them a long time, I
know when I move into that state, the information that
I am receiving because I know how to entrain my
body there is clear, and I'm in a frequency where
it's just about communicating intelligence at a level of frequency
(42:02):
that meets the person where they are. And it's difficult
to explain, but it's not difficult when I experience it,
and it never ceases to amaze me energetically in the
information that comes through and getting to witness someone's higher
self communicating information in a unique way that resonates with them.
(42:28):
And the most fun thing for me, given the gifts
that I have and what I've done for so long,
is when someone is open and clear and willing and
in a receiving state, it's so much more fun to
read for them because the seeing eye picture just becomes clearer,
and then it becomes almost more mystical and magical than
(42:52):
when someone is blocked. And usually when I read for
someone who is blocked and critical and stuck and staggered,
their third eye is very closed and shut, and it's
not as fun for me. I can do it, but
it's nowhere near as fun, and it usually doesn't like
seep through. So an open third eye is where pure
(43:17):
positive potential lives for you to tap into something greater
or higher, your meaning, your purpose, your higher self, and
to feel more aligned and divine even through the chaos
of the day to day. I know that the third
eye is a lot and it is very challenging for
me to explain sometimes, but what I'll say in closing
(43:44):
is a lot of times as the third eye opens
and continues to fine tune. Sometimes it feels really hard
to be human. And what I mean by that is
when your third eye is function, you can hear a
lot of noise externally, you can sometimes hear your own
(44:06):
internal noise. And being able to filter it in a
way that you don't take things personally is where the
evolution comes in, where a deeper knowing comes in. And
that is something that I have had to practice and
become very aware of for years, and I've gotten so
(44:26):
much better at it, and I know so many of
you have who've been open to your intuition and being
able especially right now, to connect with what feels coherent relationships, friendships,
being able to magnetize in energy rather than needing to
do and manifest and be and kind of push harder
(44:51):
to become quote unquote more intuitive or spiritual, because that's
like a Chinese fingertrap. The harder you push, the more
you drive, the more tensed up and closed off. The
third eye is, like I said, it's very paradoxical. It's
when you let go, when you get still and you
just know be still in no is absolutely the third eye.
(45:14):
And if you're looking for things like crystals or tools,
other external tools that might help you in regulating or
opening your third eye. Great crystals to me are things
like aquamarine. I love aquamarine. I also really love gold
and silver, any kind of pure metal. Like I have
(45:39):
my real diamond earrings in today. You can't see them
because I have my headphones on. If you're watching on YouTube,
and if you're not watching on YouTube, please subscribe and
follow and share with somebody who might love this or
get this or is into this stuff or waking up.
I really appreciate it. But anyway, like diamonds, real diamonds, sapphires,
(45:59):
rubies in any, stones like gemstones, gold metal, gold, sorry, silver, copper, ten,
any like those stones. Anything very very pure like that
and higher quality is great for the third eye. And
like I said, I really tend to love aquamarine for
(46:20):
the third eye. I also think fluorite is a wonderful
stone for the third eye because it connects the heart chakra,
the throat chakra, the third eye, and even the crown chakra.
It helps kind of attune your frequency in multiple layers.
I think fluorite is a great stone for the third eye.
(46:42):
But I really love gold and silver for the third eye.
So I've gotten to where usually when I work with stones,
I work with more pure stones these days, like diamond sapphires,
pure metals, and I find that they really attune more
to my third eye. The other thing you can do
is you massage right in between your two eyes, or
(47:04):
you can do your tapping right there, you know, along
the brow broone. A lot of people use eft emotional
freedom technique that tapping. That's a great way on your face,
your cheekbones, around your eyes and you can state your intentions.
Another great way to activate that space is neural patterning,
(47:24):
so brushing your hand, brushing your teeth with the non
dominant hand in the morning and consciously a tuning say,
I am open, I am aware today, my third eye
is balanced. I am moving from a place of inner knowing,
inner piece today, I am magnetizing in my highest experiences
for the highest good, for the greatest good. You say
things like that, or you shave the opposite leg first.
(47:47):
You know, there's like those tricks. Anything that helps consciousness
and cognition and that you can also attribute to third
eye is wonderful and last but not least, and this
is apart from your breath. The simplest thing you can
do is clean up your space, like go clean out
(48:10):
your car or your messy drawer in the kitchen, or
rearrange your shoes and get rid of a couple pairs
of shoes that you're not wearing anymore. Whatever it is,
go clean something physically up and do it with consciousness,
like with intent, with purpose, so to speak. Because when
(48:31):
you clean something up externally, it signals internally that you're mentally,
physically emotionally clearing, and that's a wonderful way to be
able to clear the lens of your third eye, to
be able to see more clearly, cleanly and move from
that space of cohesion. So do some practicing, see what
(48:54):
comes up for you, and trust the you have the
knowing and the intelligence and the divine intuition within. It
just takes being still and listen. Take care everyone, be well.

Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Rigor Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
Thank you for joining me. Today. We're going to continue
with our chakra series. Today we're going to dive into
the third eye, which is such a curious and interesting
energetic system in the body. And it's complex. Just when
(00:29):
I say the third eye, we know that it's connected
to intuition and inner knowing and psychic abilities, but it's
so much deeper than that, because it is literally connected
to your cognition, brain function, mental patterns, and consciousness. So
(00:50):
it's complex and it's to me, the most complex energetic
system to tangibly explain or even teach, so to speak.
And this podcast and is not about teaching, it's more
about revealing. And that's really what the third eye touches.
(01:12):
It touches something inside of us that is infinite, like
stored energy or information or intelligence, wisdom, even that we
just know. And when the third eye is balanced, open
(01:33):
and harmonious, it's not so much that time and space breaks,
but you touch something so deep and so true that
you don't need to explain or rationalize or justify. So
it's almost like the thinking mind, the rational mind melts
(01:59):
into a deeper intelligence, a greater intelligence. And yes, do
I sound lofty and esoteric when I speak of this, Yes,
But that's the third eye. And the third eye literally,
if we're gonna have a placement for it, is between
your two eyes on your face, and it encapsulates your eyes,
(02:22):
your brain, and that part of the skull, even your temples,
your temporal lobe. But there is the pineal gland, which
a lot of times is associated with the third eye,
which is this little like walnut shaped thing withinside the brain.
And I don't even know how to explain it biologically,
(02:43):
but it can get plaque around it. And the more
you get into your own meditation and stillness and clearing
of the mind, the body, the spirit, the clearer that
part of your brain and energy system functions to be
(03:04):
able to touch or tap into that inner knowing. And
when we tap into our inner knowing, it's like a
higher level of perception, revelation. Pattern recognition. Pattern recognition is
a big piece of the third eye. And I'm not
so much talking about taking an IQ test or an
(03:29):
SAT where one of these things is not like the other.
Recognizing literal patterns in numbers that can be part of it.
And that is but that is more connected to cognition
and intelligence. This is more like connecting the cosmic dots,
so synchronicity, it's pattern recognition. Not only synchronisit synchronistically, but
(03:55):
also within yourself and your life and being able to
just concern or remove yourself from the actual pattern you're noticing.
So it's removing bias. And I will give you some
examples of a functioning open third eye. But it's when
the mind becomes still enough that your consciousness can actually
(04:22):
reveal or touch what is true, and that truth becomes
this inner knowing. And whenever I touch my own inner
knowing where I just know something like I know it
in my cells, in my DNA, in my bones. When
I know something like that through and through and I
(04:44):
feel it like I can literally, it's a clear cognizance,
which is like a clear knowing, a clear feeling, a
clear truth. There's usually no need to justify it, prove
it it, argue it, rationalize it. I just know. But
(05:05):
the moment that I start to try, I don't love
that word, but I'm going to use it with this,
try to validate it, ground it, plead a case for it.
I've lost it. So again, do I sound esoteric and
a little bit elusive when I explain this, Yeah, because
that's what the third eye is. It's like the minute
(05:27):
it is balanced, clear, open and harmonious, the moment you
try to rationalize it or put it into a box
or define it is the moment you lose it. So
it's almost paradoxical. It's like when you get it, you
don't get it. When you know it, you don't know it.
And that's the beauty of the third eye. There's a saying,
(05:48):
when you know you don't know, then you know. That's
the third eye. When you know you don't know, that's
when you know. And what happens with the third eye's
perception becomes clear, attuned, fine tuned. And it's not about
(06:08):
psychic ability so much, especially in a performative way or
a way that you are making predictions. It is more
about clearing mental noise. Clearing mental noise, fear and friction
or other chaos in and around you enough to be
(06:33):
able to see clearly. And that is something we associate
with the third eye, is clear seeing, clear knowing, inner knowing.
And the one thing with the third eye that I
find with most people who have a very open third
eye chakra that is also balanced with the other chakras.
(06:57):
Because it's very easy to have an open third eye
chakra and then not be grounded. And let me I'll
give you an example of this that is the simplest
one that come to mind. There are a lot of
very connected, in tune, intuitive people that have a psychic
genius to them, an inner knowing. Sometimes this shows up
(07:22):
in things that are diagnosed, like diagnosed schizophrenia and certain
mental I'm gonna say mental health diagnosis. This can show
up that way. A very very active third eye and
crown chakra actually, but ungrounded in the physical body. But
sometimes when you have people that work in the metaphysical
(07:46):
world or the spiritual world, they're not super grounded in
sometimes their business practices, their finance, the execution of what
they do, setting boundaries, and we can all be in
that in life, absolutely, But it reminds me of sometimes
when I go to places like Sedona, it's just a
(08:08):
very energetic space and I can only be in Sedona
for a few days. I wouldn't want to live in
Sedona or be in Sodona long term because it's just
too active for me energetically. And when I go to Sedona,
my goodness, I love it because it gives me what
I need, even when I don't know what I need,
(08:29):
and it upgrades me. And then it unfolds after I
leave over the course of the next six months or so,
kind of like an eclipse. But when I go visit Sedona,
a lot of times there are these really incredible well
not a lot of times, there are incredible healers and
people with phenomenal gifts that are very dedicated spiritually and
(08:52):
it's part of their path and their journey. But a
lot of times it's like they're floating, you know. And
I I'm all about being a gypsy or a hippie
or and I don't even know if those are politically
correct words anymore. So forgive that if my language is
not meeting new standards of where we are. But sometimes
(09:14):
things can just feel so ungrounded. People can be so
ungrounded that the information and the intelligence and the vastness
that can come through and flood the crown chakra and
the third eye doesn't come through in a practical human way.
(09:37):
And again it's really difficult to explain the chakra and
the refinement of it. Think of it as refining your perception.
And it's like watching the news these days, which a
lot of us. I mean, my goodness, I don't watch
the news. I haven't watched the news news in a
(09:57):
very long time. I get my news feeds and I
have my news outlets, so I certainly am informed as
to what is going on in the world, but I
don't watch the news. However, when I do watch the news,
it becomes very clear to me very quickly what I
(10:17):
resonate with and what just feels untrue, fake propaganda, exacerbated,
fear based, or with an agenda, and so I don't
even resonate with it anymore. So a great tuning fork
or tuning space for you to think about, think about
(10:40):
third eye, no thinking. But it's like this combination of
thinking and knowing so tricky. But one thing to become
aware of is where you just know something and you
where you recognize, recognize really important word, recognize what you
(11:04):
feel coherent with and where you feel incoherence, ease and disease.
Those are probably if you were going to write down
a couple of words to start recognizing, cognizing, noticing within
your body, it's what or whom or where feels cohesive
(11:28):
and where there's coherence and ease versus where there's dissonance,
resistance and disease. And recently in the past couple of years,
and it's gotten louder and louder, especially in twenty twenty six. Energetically,
many of us are recognizing, recognizing imbalances and frequencies amongst
(11:57):
our friendships, our family, and interpersonally. And it's difficult to
navigate because we can love people, whether they're our family
of origin or long term childhood friends, whoever, are colleagues
you've worked with for a long time and it's been
(12:17):
functional or you're on the same page, all of a sudden,
something is feeling out of harmony, out of whack, incoherent,
and it's not coming from a place of judgment or
anger or fear. It's just like one of these things
is not like the other, like a little bit of
square peg round whole energy. That's that's third eye energy.
(12:43):
It has nothing to do with the heart chakra or
your solar plexus. It is where you are telepathically. That's
third eye energetically recognizing frequency and if your frequency, if
you're a tuned to this same resonant frequency, or you
(13:05):
are slightly off, and it doesn't mean that you can't
connect or communicate or be with but something feels a
little bit off, and it can feel very lonely because
you feel like, gosh, am I awkward. Is something wrong
with me? How do I communicate this? Why do I
(13:28):
feel off? I love this person, but I just am
not jiving with them. Or here's the other stuff that
may be coming through. Gosh, I'm just not interested in
them anymore, or I don't really have the need to
talk to this person or connect with them. I love them,
I'm so grateful there in my life, but there I
(13:50):
just don't we're not on the same page. A lot
of that is coming up this year and right now,
and many of us are feeling it. And we're learning
a new language and a frequency because we're moving to
a higher baseline energetically, and a lot of that is
happening in this third eye space. So it's refining a
(14:11):
new frequency and a new perception. So the third eye
really does govern our inner vision, our inner knowing, our
discernment and intuition, a deeper sense of pattern recognition, symbolic intelligence,
or synchronicity, dreams and memory dreams for sure, and for
(14:37):
many of you who remember your dreams, well, some people
have that gift where they remember they wake up and
they very clearly remember their dreams. It's a very active
third eye that has the ability to cognize information from
the astral plane or information energetically or unconsciously. It's a
(15:01):
very active third eye and the opportunity there is to
ground it in to be able to interpret dreams or
use that dream state in your waking state. And that's
a whole episode where I can talk about dreams and
the third eye and the astral plane, and we'll do
that in the upcoming weeks, because the dreams seem to
(15:22):
be very active for people right now, and there's a
lot of unconscious processing on a very rapid pace, and
the body is also trying to interpret it, and it's
coming through in a lot of pain and quirks in
the body, especially the spinal cord. And a lot of
you are raising your hand because that's been going on
for you recently, because there's a lot of electricity and
(15:44):
electro magnetic energy flowing through your body and it's processing
through the third eye, but it's going down through the
brain stem and into the spinal column. So that's some
third eye stuff, but just know that that's going on.
(16:05):
The third eye is also future sensing or pre cognitive,
absolutely pre cognitive. It's also where your imagination is and
your clairvoyance, the Claires, the clairvoyance, Claire audience, Claire sentience,
Clare cognisance, all of that lives in the third eye.
Yes it does. I wrote a blog gosh, it's been
(16:26):
a long time ago, years ago, and we will link
it on the claires. What are the claires Claire audience,
Clare cognizance, clairvoyance, and how do you flex those muscles
because usually we have one or two strong Claires in
our intuitive body. It's either Claire audience and Clare sentience,
Clare cognisance and clairvoyance. Usually, if you can figure out
(16:49):
your top two, those are the muscles that you want
to strengthen from an intuitive perspective. But the most functional
to me and ground did aspect of the third eye
is the capacity to witness your own thoughts and your
inner knowing and not be run by them or ruled
(17:13):
by your thoughts, overruled by your thoughts. Even it's the
ability to recognize energy and patterns beneath appearances, and to
not absorb any of that stuff personally to be able
to use it as knowing to move more intelligently and
(17:34):
energetically in the world with greater ease and coherence. So
it's almost like the third eye is a very mystical bridge.
We talked about the heart chakra being like the bridge
between the lower chakras and the upper chakras. The third
eye is the bridge between the body, the cells, the
(17:57):
DNA and multidimensional energy, multidimensional time. So it's like the
third eye sits at the intersection of the brain, the
nervous system, intuition, and your consciousness. That's a lot because
it's a lot of it is very difficult and intangible
(18:21):
to touch. So think of it this way, and again
I'm using that word think of it, and every time
I say that with this it feels like a misnomer.
But if the brain processes information, your nervous system filters
your sense of safety and security, your mind interprets your experience,
(18:45):
and the third eye perceives pattern So together, when all
of those systems quote unquote are functioning, the third eye
isn't about thinking better. It's developing a more refined relationship
(19:07):
with your own intelligence, your DNA, your body, your mind,
your spirit, and it's intelligence that can observe without becoming
overwhelmed by the thinking mind a lot of times, and
I've been there myself. I see it with people and clients.
(19:27):
It's like we brush up against something infinite or something
we just know in ourselves and DNA that is very intuitive,
very true, feels very real and lived and grounded and
infinite at the same time. And then where do we go.
We go into I need more, I need more answers,
more rationalization, more proof, more validation. And that's when we
(19:52):
start to move into a different part of the brain,
more practical, pragmatic functioning, and we move out of the
balance with that mystical space of the third eye. So
one of the healthyest things that you can do to
flex the muscle of your third eye is to quiet
(20:13):
the mind, which means being still and yes, meditating. Meditating
is one of those places where you flex that muscle.
And you may be raising your hand and saying, Amanda,
I just I don't meditate, well, I don't like to meditate,
or I don't know how, or I can't shut off
(20:35):
my mind, you can there's no doing it right well
or perfect. It's more about taking the time out to
be still. And years ago, when I first started meditating
or becoming still and quiet, somebody just said to me,
just be still, close your eyes, and when a thought
(20:55):
enters your mind, think of it like a cloud, and
you just push the clouds. And every time you move
a cloud over, you're just creating a little bit more
blue sky or endless sky. And it's funny because that was, gosh,
that was well over a decade ago. And even today,
(21:16):
when I get still quiet and meditate and I am
moving the clouds and the thoughts away in my mind,
something happens sometimes where after I've started to quiet the
thoughts and enter that empty space, where I start craving
(21:36):
the empty space. It's the wildest, most amazing thing. Once
you find or sit with or touch that stillness that's
so vast and infinite, it's like you're thirsty for more
of it, and in order to find more of it,
it's about becoming more still and right now. And this
(21:59):
is really important. If you don't take anything away from this,
maybe you take this away. Astrologically, Urinus is in Gemini
and Gemini is about perception, cognition, the thinking mind, the
right and left hemispheres of the brain. Gemini is fast moving.
(22:20):
It loves information, It loves to put the puzzle pieces together.
It is the journalist archetype of our zodiac. It is
the investigative journalist that is so good at finding facts,
putting it together, communicating the facts. When you have Urinus,
this electric planet of disruption, which even looking at Urinus
(22:44):
through a telescope and how it sits in the sky,
it's really twisted and warped. It's a very fascinating planet,
but it's not normal. It doesn't operate normally. So when
you have this electrified planet touching our mind and our
thoughts and our consciousness, they're fast right now. And we
know how AI intelligence the world is rapidly and compoundingly
(23:10):
speeding up. If there was ever a time to become
more still in the mind, to be able to integrate
more information and more intelligence and touch base with our
inner knowing and our intuition, it's now, and everything externally
about this year says, don't be still. But in order
(23:33):
for you to tap in to your intuition, your discernment,
which is necessary imperative even in the upcoming years. It
requires stillness. And if you're like Amanda, I just can't
do it. I can't meditate. I can't do the stillness thing. Well.
I do walking meditations all the time, you know. I
(23:54):
don't put my earbuds in and I just walk and
I let the sunlight hit my face and I talk
to the sun. Hey son, cleanse and clear my energy,
root and ground me, optimize my cognition, my function, my
third eye. That to me is a form of prayer
and meditation that clears and cleanses and regulates my third eye.
(24:17):
There are all sorts of forms of meditation. Do what
works for you. But another way to also integrate or
balance the third eye is through your breath. And I've
talked about this before. I do a lot of breathing
practices myself, with clients and with my online community, the
(24:39):
frequency field. We practice a lot of this and have
been seeing some pretty incredible results. But with the breath,
when you breathe in through the nose fully and usually
at four seconds or more on an inhale, at about
three seconds maybe less, you're in hail has already moved
(25:02):
from the base of your belly through the heart space,
and once your breath hits your chest, your lung, your
heart space, and you feel it expand and then you
keep going. What happens is spinal fluid moves from the
sacrum so the base of your spine all the way up,
(25:23):
and once it hits your thoracic spine, your heart, chakra
and lungs, it automatically like one of those you know
when you're at a fair and they have that hammer
thing and you hammer down on it and it hits
the ding ding ding buzzer thing, you know, the strong
man or the strong woman. I don't know what those
(25:43):
things are called, but y'all know what I'm talking about.
But it's like, once your breath hits your heart space
and it keeps going, it automatically flushes the brain with
spinal fluid, and that spinal fluid clears and cleanses the
brain and the pineal gland. So it is an activation
(26:04):
of your third eye. So if you stop and you
do what people call box breathing, I don't know where
that name came from, and I was never taught this.
I just call it a four four four four breath cycle.
Were you inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four,
hold for four, repeat and repeat it four times. You
(26:28):
are literally a tuning your third eye. And another practice
that has to do with the breath and also your
physiological self. And this is my favorite one and it
works if you are having a moment of anxiety or stress,
or you can't figure out an answer to something, or
(26:50):
you just need a beat. This is like best bang
for your buck stuff. Drop your chin to your chest,
close your eyes, close your mouth, and inhale and do
that four four breathing pattern. Inhale through the nose fully
for four seconds. Hold exhale fully through the nose four seconds.
(27:14):
Hold four seconds. And by inhaling and exhaling through the nose,
dropping your chin to your chest, closing your eyes, closing
your mouth, you are literally bowing the head into the heart.
The heart's electromagnetic. You're connecting the third eye with the
heart through the throat chakra through your breath, so physiologically
(27:41):
you're doing something. But when you breathe like that, you
are sinking the right and the left hemispheres of the brain,
so that right there is a third eye cleanse. And
it's also a really good reset in your day if
you're stressed or overfunctioning. So those are really good tricks
(28:01):
or resources that you can pull from to reset and
just think. If you stop, pause and breathe like that
for a few breath cycles three or four times a day,
that doesn't take any time at all, but it gives
you pause and it starts to signal to your body.
(28:22):
You're sells and your DNA. I'm creating space. I'm listening within,
I'm turning off the noise externally, and I'm looking for
the intelligence to reveal itself from within. It's also recognizing
how intelligent you are, infinite and divine. So a balanced
(28:42):
third eye would look something like clear knowing or clear
perception without paranoia or a need to know. Overfunctioning cognitively
intuition that feels calm and true, not frantic and needing
to know. You notice patterns or synchronicities without obsessing over them.
(29:09):
You can also recognize or tell the difference between fear
and inner knowing. You trust the first clean hit without
needing constant validation, so it's a clear yes or a
clear no, and you trust it and you go with it.
You pause before in trying to interpret something you just
(29:30):
take it in and you know, without needing to explain
or interpret a few other things that will show you
a more balanced third eye or reflect that back to
you is less reactivity to external noise meaning other people's stuff,
other people's drama, or even a need to engage yourself
(29:52):
with other people's drama, and not being as physically affected
by other people's stuff. I will tell you this because
this is has come up recently for me and for
some other people lately. Just the energy feels right now,
very very turned up, and I can feel it in
(30:12):
my body and my third eye. It's like I can
feel it out of whack. And my coping mechanism has
been to ground through food, like and eating. It's like
I keep needing to eat to ground and satiate my body.
And it's not about hunger at all. It's more like
self soothing coping mechanism. But it's almost as if and
(30:36):
I feel this in my bones and DNA, so to
me it feels very true, is that my third eye
is opening up to something that I have not seen,
known or touched before, and my physical body and cells
are attempting to regulate higher and so they're compensating by
(30:56):
some old coping mechanisms. That's why I think we also
see a lot of people right now who, whether it's
through addiction, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, things are feeling really high
high or low low because we're trying to regulate. We
are ingesting energetically so much, and the third eye is
(31:18):
a huge place where our bodies and nervous systems are
regulating or at least attempting to regulate higher and it's difficult.
It's almost like shock to the body. Other tells of
(31:38):
a balanced third eye are being able to see patterns, synchronicities, dreams,
but again not needing immediate answers or clarity or truth
with those things. So being able to hold mystery or mysticism,
so to speak, without immediate answers. Also feeling guided and
(32:00):
coherent but ground it at the same time, so open
and attune, connecting with your higher self, your soul, but
also feeling very connected materially and in this world, very present,
but also much faster, much greater. Also solitude and quiet time,
(32:24):
like recognizing that as a necessity, where I crave my
quiet and solitude because I need it. I need my
mornings or my evenings or a cutout space in my day,
and sometimes it's smaller than others, just depending on the
(32:44):
day and what's on my plate. But that quiet time
with myself and to pray or meditate or journal or
just be is so imperative, and that's me touching and
touching base within myself. Also, one more thing I'll say
(33:06):
about the third eye, and I'll give you some examples
as I close to just from gosh my experience of
when I knew my third eye was activated and awakened
in ways that I hadn't been able to communicate her
ground in before. But a lot of times the third
eye is like an understanding without needing to be explained
(33:32):
as real. And it's not about living in fantasy or
illusion or imagination. It's again it could I know. I
keep repeating myself because the third eye is more complex
to explain, but it's an inner knowing without needing to
(33:53):
justify or explain. And it's not that the third eye
isn't scientifically our intuition or inner knowing hasn't been scientifically studied.
It's more studied than ever and becoming. There's more scientific
evidence for our telepathy frequency and all of these extrasensory
(34:15):
gifts that we have. So it's becoming more normalized than
it is mystical. Even when you know your third eye
might be out of whack or imbalanced or even blocked.
It's when you find yourself like obsessed with making meaning
(34:37):
or understanding things or reading into every little thing, like
everything being a sign in synchronicity. And do I feel
like everything could be a synchronicity? Absolutely, it can. There's
a difference in cohesion and analysis reading into everything heightened
(34:59):
anxiety disguised as intuition when it comes through in the
form of fear or paranoia, Like sometimes I'll have people
come to me and say, oh, I keep getting this
sign and I'm seeing this and it must be this.
And sometimes signs absolutely can be warnings and omens when
we have those intuitive hits, But usually someone's energy field
(35:22):
denotes whether it's fear and paranoia versus and mental looping
versus a very clear precognitive or intuitive hit. Needing signs
constantly is an auto whack third eye, And a lot
of times when people are waking up intuitively, like, it's
(35:44):
not so much that they need signs constantly, they want them.
They're craving them, they're hungry for them. So a lot
of times when your third eye activates or it's going
through a higher activation stage, it will be overactive, so
you're gonna have that craving and wanting to know, just
just being able to stop and be still and to
trust and to know. Another time, the third eye it's
(36:06):
really active. This is kind of a funny one because
it's very connected to the solar plexus. Is when people
have this kind of god complex or need to be
terminally unique or special, like I'm the chosen one, Like
my gifts are more incredible than other people, and there
are like a lot of times people just want to
be seen, witnessed, held because we are incredible and divine
(36:32):
and unique. But sometimes when the third eye is activating,
it's like, but my story is more unique than anybody
else's and it can feel that way and if there's
a beauty to that. But then there's also kind of
a hyperactivity where it kind of moves into a danger zone.
So just notice we all can go to those places.
(36:56):
But also I would say with a third eye where
it's a little elusive, is mistaking kind of an intensity
for truth. So it's just knowing. If you are incapable
of looking at something from the most like the highest,
most objective place, then it's probably not your third eye.
(37:18):
And again it's really difficult to explain the third eye,
and for me personal examples, I mean, throughout the years,
there's a multitude of ways I could explain this personally.
But I remember, I don't know, twelve thirteen years ago,
when my intuition and my higher self I started consciously
(37:41):
connecting with my higher self and bringing in and retrieving,
revealing innate wisdom things that I had already known. First
of all, it was like astrology and numerology just downloaded
for me, And they really didn't download, they uploaded. So
that's probably the difference. The word download gets used a lot.
I prefer uploaded, meaning all it is is accessed or
(38:03):
retrieved within your cells or DNA. So it was like
I remembered astrology, I remembered numerology. It was always there.
I didn't create it. I just knew it and I
knew how to communicate it. That happened years ago, but
that's to me, that's kind of normalized because it's been
(38:25):
so long ago. But the probably one of the wilder
things that ever happened to me is I remember I
was coming home one night and this was I don't know,
maybe twenty fourteen. I was driving home. It was as dark,
and I pulled into the driveway and I had we
(38:46):
had this carport, and I pulled into the carport and
I thought, I'm gonna, like, before I walk in the
back door, I'm going to walk out and look up
at the stars because something is up there. Like it
came seemingly out of the blue. That whole intuitive hit
to go stand and stare up at the stars. And
(39:08):
immediately when I looked up, there were two craft in
the sky and they were not stars, and they were
moving and they had laser lights. And it was a
whole experience and I had never experienced anything so otherworldly,
(39:28):
but I intuitively knew, telepathically new to park my car
and go look up at the stars. And I wasn't
looking up at the stars looking for craft. I just
looked up and then I thought, well, those aren't stars.
Oh wait a minute, And then it was a whole thing.
And then I went into the house and I told
my husband and he was like, what you know, So
this has been so long ago and I've had so
(39:48):
many experiences like that, but I remember, how did I know?
And I had pulled into the driveway so many other
times and not walked out and looked up at the sky.
But that night, I was like, I gotta go look
up at the sky, and then all of a sudden,
I saw something that I had never been able to
see before. So also with the third eye, there's a
(40:10):
level of consciousness, and when you resonate or vibrate at
a certain frequency, then you can see things that you
haven't seen before. Think of it like this. You remember
those seeing eye pictures where it would be kind of
like a where's Waldo, but not a where's Waldo? And
then once you stared at it long enough, the Statue
of Liberty would appear, or the Empire State Building or
the Golden Gate Bridge. It's like those seeing eye pictures.
(40:33):
That is a tuning the third eye. When you stare
and all of a sudden, it's almost like your gaze
fixates and it pixelates, something pixelates and comes out of
the pixelation and you see a whole other image within
an image. That's a functioning third eye. When I read
(40:53):
for someone, when I drop into an altered state of consciousness.
And this is the way I have explained it for
many years. I will say, it's like Amanda moves to
the side, and it's like a three way conversation. Amanda
is here communicating for your higher self. There's you, there's
Amanda communicating for your higher self, and then there's Amanda.
(41:15):
Amanda's like the peanut gallery. Amanda will jump in, interject
and ask questions. But I literally become clear, clean, and
a vessel to communicate energetically because I'm entrained with someone's
frequency and I know how to do this. But I
move out of the way, and when I move out
of the way, Amanda, I am out of bias, out
(41:38):
of judgment. Even if I know the person I am
reading for or have known them a long time, I
know when I move into that state, the information that
I am receiving because I know how to entrain my
body there is clear, and I'm in a frequency where
it's just about communicating intelligence at a level of frequency
(42:02):
that meets the person where they are. And it's difficult
to explain, but it's not difficult when I experience it,
and it never ceases to amaze me energetically in the
information that comes through and getting to witness someone's higher
self communicating information in a unique way that resonates with them.
(42:28):
And the most fun thing for me, given the gifts
that I have and what I've done for so long,
is when someone is open and clear and willing and
in a receiving state, it's so much more fun to
read for them because the seeing eye picture just becomes clearer,
and then it becomes almost more mystical and magical than
(42:52):
when someone is blocked. And usually when I read for
someone who is blocked and critical and stuck and staggered,
their third eye is very closed and shut, and it's
not as fun for me. I can do it, but
it's nowhere near as fun, and it usually doesn't like
seep through. So an open third eye is where pure
(43:17):
positive potential lives for you to tap into something greater
or higher, your meaning, your purpose, your higher self, and
to feel more aligned and divine even through the chaos
of the day to day. I know that the third
eye is a lot and it is very challenging for
me to explain sometimes, but what I'll say in closing
(43:44):
is a lot of times as the third eye opens
and continues to fine tune. Sometimes it feels really hard
to be human. And what I mean by that is
when your third eye is function, you can hear a
lot of noise externally, you can sometimes hear your own
(44:06):
internal noise. And being able to filter it in a
way that you don't take things personally is where the
evolution comes in, where a deeper knowing comes in. And
that is something that I have had to practice and
become very aware of for years, and I've gotten so
(44:26):
much better at it, and I know so many of
you have who've been open to your intuition and being
able especially right now, to connect with what feels coherent relationships, friendships,
being able to magnetize in energy rather than needing to
do and manifest and be and kind of push harder
(44:51):
to become quote unquote more intuitive or spiritual, because that's
like a Chinese fingertrap. The harder you push, the more
you drive, the more tensed up and closed off. The
third eye is, like I said, it's very paradoxical. It's
when you let go, when you get still and you
just know be still in no is absolutely the third eye.
(45:14):
And if you're looking for things like crystals or tools,
other external tools that might help you in regulating or
opening your third eye. Great crystals to me are things
like aquamarine. I love aquamarine. I also really love gold
and silver, any kind of pure metal. Like I have
(45:39):
my real diamond earrings in today. You can't see them
because I have my headphones on. If you're watching on YouTube,
and if you're not watching on YouTube, please subscribe and
follow and share with somebody who might love this or
get this or is into this stuff or waking up.
I really appreciate it. But anyway, like diamonds, real diamonds, sapphires,
(45:59):
rubies in any, stones like gemstones, gold metal, gold, sorry, silver, copper, ten,
any like those stones. Anything very very pure like that
and higher quality is great for the third eye. And
like I said, I really tend to love aquamarine for
(46:20):
the third eye. I also think fluorite is a wonderful
stone for the third eye because it connects the heart chakra,
the throat chakra, the third eye, and even the crown chakra.
It helps kind of attune your frequency in multiple layers.
I think fluorite is a great stone for the third eye.
(46:42):
But I really love gold and silver for the third eye.
So I've gotten to where usually when I work with stones,
I work with more pure stones these days, like diamond sapphires,
pure metals, and I find that they really attune more
to my third eye. The other thing you can do
is you massage right in between your two eyes, or
(47:04):
you can do your tapping right there, you know, along
the brow broone. A lot of people use eft emotional
freedom technique that tapping. That's a great way on your face,
your cheekbones, around your eyes and you can state your intentions.
Another great way to activate that space is neural patterning,
(47:24):
so brushing your hand, brushing your teeth with the non
dominant hand in the morning and consciously a tuning say,
I am open, I am aware today, my third eye
is balanced. I am moving from a place of inner knowing,
inner piece today, I am magnetizing in my highest experiences
for the highest good, for the greatest good. You say
things like that, or you shave the opposite leg first.
(47:47):
You know, there's like those tricks. Anything that helps consciousness
and cognition and that you can also attribute to third
eye is wonderful and last but not least, and this
is apart from your breath. The simplest thing you can
do is clean up your space, like go clean out
(48:10):
your car or your messy drawer in the kitchen, or
rearrange your shoes and get rid of a couple pairs
of shoes that you're not wearing anymore. Whatever it is,
go clean something physically up and do it with consciousness,
like with intent, with purpose, so to speak. Because when
(48:31):
you clean something up externally, it signals internally that you're mentally,
physically emotionally clearing, and that's a wonderful way to be
able to clear the lens of your third eye, to
be able to see more clearly, cleanly and move from
that space of cohesion. So do some practicing, see what
(48:54):
comes up for you, and trust the you have the
knowing and the intelligence and the divine intuition within. It
just takes being still and listen. Take care everyone, be well.
