FAQs

    Question

    Concise Answer

    Can third-eye work cause headaches?

    Occasionally. Sudden surges of mental focus, breath retention, or intense visualization can over-stimulate the brow area and the optic nerves, creating tension headaches. Ease in gradually—short sessions, gentle eye-massage, hydration, and grounding poses will usually prevent or relieve the discomfort.

    How often should I reassess my Ajna balance?

    Do a quick self-check weekly (e.g., during Sunday planning) and a deeper audit—like the 5-question quiz—every month or after major life changes. Regular reflection keeps small clouds from turning into long-term fog.

    Do I need to wear indigo clothing for support?

    It’s optional. Indigo hues can serve as a subtle visual cue that reminds the subconscious to tune into clarity, but the real work happens through meditation, breath, and mindful habits. Use color therapy if it feels inspiring, not obligatory.

    Which crystal is strongest for intuition?

    Amethyst is the classic go-to for amplifying intuitive insight and calming over-thinking. Lapis Lazuli is a close second, prized for deep inner vision and truthful self-expression. Choose the one you feel most drawn to—resonance matters more than rankings.

    Will opening the third eye make me “too airy”?

    Not if you balance it with grounding practices. A clear Ajna increases insight, but pairing it with Root-chakra activities (earthing walks, nourishing meals, physical exercise) keeps you practical and present, channeling visions into real-world action instead of day-dream drift.
