Clary Sage, Frankincense & Mugwort
Reiki for the Third Eye Chakra, A Ritual for Awakening Intuition, Inner Sight & Spiritual Knowing
There are days when I know without knowing why.
A quiet nudge. A dream I can’t shake.
A feeling in my bones that something is true.
That is my Third Eye Chakra speaking—my inner compass and doorway to vision beyond logic.
When life feels confusing or noisy, I turn inward.
And I turn to ritual.
Working with Clary Sage, Frankincense, and Mugwort, I create space for deep listening.
When I pair these sacred oils with Reiki, I return to the part of me that always sees clearly—even in the dark.

🧿 Understanding the Third Eye Chakra and Why It Matters
The Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna, is located at the center of the forehead, just above the space between the eyebrows. It governs intuition, clarity, perception, insight, and imagination.
When this chakra is balanced, I feel clear, connected, and spiritually aligned.
Decisions come more easily. Symbols and synchronicities flow. My dreams feel alive and instructive.
When blocked, I feel mentally foggy, overanalytical, or disconnected from my inner truth. I doubt my instincts or second-guess my path.
Tending to this chakra is not about escaping reality—it’s about seeing the deeper layers of it, with discernment and trust.
🌿 Why Clary Sage, Frankincense & Mugwort Work for the Third Eye
These oils are time-honored allies for deepening perception and spiritual awareness:
- Clary Sage: Calms the mind and opens the energetic gateway to clarity. It sharpens intuition and dissolves overthinking.
- Frankincense: A sacred resin that has been used in spiritual rites for centuries. It helps me drop into presence, stillness, and divine connection.
- Mugwort: A dream and vision activator. I use this oil when I want to enhance dream recall, intuition, and subtle energy perception.
Each of these oils helps me access different levels of inner knowing—and together, they create a sacred space for truth to rise.
👁️ How Reiki Supports Third Eye Awakening
Reiki clears the fog and gently opens the channel of vision.
When I place my hands over my brow or hover my palms there, I feel a soft pulsing, like my intuition turning on a light inside my head.
Sometimes images arise. Sometimes it’s just a feeling. But always, I leave with a deeper sense of alignment and trust.
🔮 Third Eye Chakra Ritual with Clary Sage, Frankincense & Mugwort
You’ll Need:
- 1–2 drops of Clary Sage, Frankincense, and/or Mugwort (intuitively chosen)
- Carrier oil (grapeseed or jojoba for delicate skin)
- Amethyst or Lapis Lazuli crystal (optional)
- Dim lighting or candlelight
- 852 Hz music, singing bowls, or ambient sound
🌌 Step-by-Step Ritual: Awakening the Inner Eye
- Create a Quiet Sanctuary
I dim the lights, light a candle, and sit or lie back comfortably. I place my crystal and oils nearby and play soft music or let silence guide the space. - Anoint the Inner Eye
I blend my chosen oils with carrier oil and gently apply it to the center of my brow, temples, or behind my ears.
As I breathe in, I say: “I open to truth. I see beyond the surface.” - Reiki Hand Placement
I place one hand over my Third Eye and the other over my heart or crown. I invite Reiki energy to move through me, trusting it will reveal what I need to know. - Visualize the Inner Light
I imagine a deep indigo or violet light spinning at my brow, pulsing like a star. I let it grow brighter, clearing fog and expanding perception. - Speak the Affirmation “I see clearly. I trust my inner voice. I receive Divine insight.”
- Close with Stillness or Journaling
I stay in silence or write down what comes through. Dreams, images, or intuitive hits often rise after this ritual—sometimes hours later.

🌙 Clary Sage, Frankincense & Mugwort + Reiki: A Portal to Inner Knowing
This ritual doesn’t require me to go anywhere.
It brings me back to what I already know, already feel, already sense in the quiet moments.
Through breath, scent, and energy, I turn inward.
And when I do, I remember:
“I am not lost. I am not blind. I am simply learning to see with the eyes of my soul.”
