The Lady H Way

WHY SATURDAY IS FOR THE DEEP DIVE

The noise of the work week has finally settled. At The Lady H Way, we dedicate Saturday to the Third Eye Chakra- the seat of our intuition and the commander of our perception. While Friday was about the heart’s connection to others, Saturday is about your connection to the unseen. It’s the day we stop looking with our physical eyes and start seeing with our soul. The Way I See is your invitation to trust your gut, decode your dreams and finally look at the big picture of your life without the fog of daily stress.

WHAT IS THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA?

Located in the center of the forehead, slightly above the eyebrows, sits the Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna in Sanskrit. Ajna translates to “command” or “perceive” and is the center of duality- where we balance the logical left brain with the intuitive right brain. This energy center is associated with the element of light and just as light allows us to see the physical world, the Third Eye allows us to see the truth behind the curtain.

When your Third Eye is open and balanced, you may experience “Aha!” moments frequently. You have a strong sense of direction, you trust your first impressions and you can visualize your future with true clarity. Signs your vision is “clouded” (your Third Eye isn’t balanced) is possible eye strain, blurred vision, sinus headaches and lack of imagination. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed by a persistent sense that you’re “missing something”.

Since this chakra is the center of focus and stillness, the tree pose is one of the best yoga poses to do on this day. To stay balanced on one leg, you must find a steady point in front of you. This physically trains your mind to lock in on a vision. Pair this with meditation and breathing exercises and you’ll strengthen your Third Eye, calm your mind, enhance your intuition, gain mental clarity and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.

Although the color indigo is associated with this energy center, I like to wear indigo/purple and eat purple foods on this day. Purple cabbage, purple grapes, even blackberries are all good options to choose from on this day. Keep lapis lazuli and labradorite nearby to help bridge the gap between the conscious mind and the dream world.

TRUST WHAT YOU KNOW

When you embrace The Way I See, you realize that all the answers you’ve been searching for are already inside you. You stop asking everyone else for their opinion and start listening to the quiet voice of your own knowing. You are a visionary, you are focused and you see the world exactly as it is.
