I SEE you.

How are your EYES feeling??

Tired of looking at the screen in front of them??

Mine too which is why today's featured Take 5 relaxation focuses on the eyes.?

?What about your 3rd Eye??

If you are tempted to delete this right now before reading on (out of fear-based conditioning) I understand you. I see you.?

I encourage you to stay curious and continue reading.?

The center of the brow is the location of the “Anja” or 3rd Eye Chakra. When fully activated and flowing in balance the 3rd Eye Chakra stimulates both the right (creative & spiritual) and left (logical & rational) hemispheres of the brain to work together from a grounded place. With that equilibrium, we can confidently take decisive actions and make well-informed decisions by considering both factual information and trusting our intuition.?

It also allows us to truly SEE others. When we connect with our inner wisdom rather than being influenced by societal expectations of how we should perceive one another, that's when we can truly SEE.?

When overactive we might feel overwhelmed or exhausted. That was me Monday, so I took 5 minutes for some breathwork to reset and come back to a grounded presence.?

When underactive we might lack a sense of purpose, feel uninspired, or energetically drained.?I've been there at times too.

There are many tools for bringing this chakra into balance such as the Alternate Nostril Breathing practice I featured for members on Monday.?

?In today's featured Take 5 Workplace Relaxation Video, we activate the 3rd Eye by relaxing the muscles in the face, doing some gentle stretching of the eyes, and then resting. It only takes 5 minutes and is an amazing practice if you happen to be human and spend most of your day staring at a screen.?Notice how you feel before and after.??

If you haven't checked out Episode 2 of Chakras & Chardonnay check it out today!?In this episode, I share the first step in my Mindful Tasting process and share some of my personal journey with you.?Hint, I wasn't always this mindful with my consumption.?

Learning how to activate my 3rd eye chakra is one of the ways I was able to become more conscious of my choice-making.?Please let me know if it resonates and leave a rating or review.?
