As we move deeper into the month of Wisdom and Expansion, we arrive at the gateway of the Third Eye Chakra—Ajna, the center of intuition, insight, and inner vision.
In Tantra, this is where the seen and unseen worlds meet. It’s not just about spiritual visions—it’s about clear seeing. Piercing illusion. Accessing wisdom beyond the rational mind.
You don’t have to be psychic to open your Third Eye. You just have to be willing to see more clearly—your patterns, your truth, your projections, and the beauty that exists just beyond the veil of what you’ve been taught.
What Blocks the Third Eye?
Many of us were raised in environments that prized logic over feeling, structure over mystery, obedience over inquiry. The Third Eye closes when we stop trusting ourselves. When we ignore gut instincts. When we let fear or shame cloud our perception.
The invitation isn’t to bypass your body in search of some spiritual high—it’s to bring awareness to what’s already happening inside you. To attune to subtle energy. To become a witness to your own experience. In doing so, you become sovereign in your perception.
Tantric Tools for Third Eye Awakening
You don’t need to wait for a psychedelic journey or a silent retreat to activate your Ajna. Here are a few simple, embodied ways to begin tuning in now:
Mirror Gazing: Sit in stillness with yourself. Gaze into your own eyes in the mirror for 3–10 minutes. Don’t try to analyze—just witness.
Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana): This breath balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain—quieting internal chatter and opening the Third Eye.
Trataka (Candle Gazing): Light a candle and gaze softly at the flame for 1–3 minutes, then close your eyes and observe the afterimage between your brows.
Ajna Mantra: Chant the bija (seed) sound “OM” while placing your attention on the space between your eyebrows.
Clear Seeing in Sacred Touch
Speaking of expanded awareness—this is exactly what we cultivate in the Tantric Massage Masterclass happening THIS WEEKEND.
When you bring the energy of the Third Eye Chakra to sacred touch, everything changes. You’re no longer just following technique—you’re reading energy. Feeling into what wants to happen. Sensing what the body is asking for before words are spoken.
This is the difference between performing touch and channeling it. Between doing massage and becoming medicine.
If you’ve been feeling the call, there are still a few spots available for this weekend’s intensive. This is the first time I’m teaching this locally in San Diego, and it may be the last time I offer it for quite some time as I step into writing and doctoral studies.

A Moment of Inquiry
Journal Prompt: Where in my life am I refusing to see what is clearly in front of me? What truth am I ready to acknowledge, even if it changes everything?
Your Third Eye Chakra doesn’t need to “open” to something outside of you—it needs to turn inward. It calls you to remember and trust. The truth that’s already whispering inside you is waiting to be witnessed.
This week, let your awareness expand not through effort, but through presence. With clear vision,
Shiva J
P.S. — If you’re feeling called to the Masterclass but have questions, hit reply. I’m happy to chat about whether this training is right for you. Sometimes the Third Eye speaks through curiosity.
