Third eye is intuition
The Third Eye is one among the seven chakras. It represents our intuition. This energy center is unique and combines facts, fears, and memories to decipher what we perceive to be true. We can feel when something is true, false, or misleading and we can then act accordingly. However, it is important to ensure that intuition does not clash with other chakras.
Third eye is connected to verbal communication
The third eye is linked to psychic abilities. When it is balanced, it can give you a sixth-sense and strong intuition. These psychic abilities are useful for communicating with others and supporting your real-life experiences. These psychic abilities can be used to develop inner guidance that will help you communicate with the physical universe with inner wisdom. A balanced third eye chakra can also help you tap into your lifeforce energy, which is dormant at the base of the spine. This energy can be activated through meditation, asana and prayer to help you achieve enlightenment.
Muladhara embodies pure consciousness
The Muladhara is a pure, consciousness energy center located in chakra seven. It is the source for your awareness and your connection the the rest of the world. This energy center is your freedom. Freedom may be defined differently depending on your perspective. It could mean you are willing to let go of things that don't work for you. The Third Eye is the symbol of this energy center, and is located on your forehead. Lord Shiva is also known as the Third-Eyed One because he can burn anything to ashes with a single glance.
