If you are into astral projection and if you’d like to explore the hidden side of your subconscious, you might need help opening your mind and your intuition to the astral level. Essential oils can help you with that!

So, let’s learn more about the best essential oils for astral projections and how to use them.

Opening your third eye

The Third eye regulates our faculty of clairvoyance, intuition, and other extrasensory faculties. It is the seat of all awareness-raising processes. It helps to understand our dreams, desires, and visions. It controls the other chakras of the physical body and the sensory system.

It helps to overcome the impositions that the authorities and the community have dictated to control our destiny.

Our actions are 80% dictated by the subconscious and only 20% by the mind. The third eye is the abode of the subconscious, the meeting point between the intellect and spiritual wisdom. This chakra helps us carry out our mission in our current incarnation.

We have, in fact, been incarnated to learn particular teaching through our physical body (matter). Once we have assimilated this teaching, we can break down the patterns derived from this situation and fully dedicate ourselves to our mission.

The third eye (The Ajna Chakra) allows us to progress, observe events with greater neutrality, visualize our future, and attract favorable conditions for our evolution. When it is in balance, it allows you to develop intuition, intelligence, clarity, sensitivity, patience, tolerance, trust, the ability to visualize.

It is decompensated when we remain too tied to the past. If we close ourselves in depression and sadness, we feel happiness “only if” … if we stop spiritually or we close ourselves in hypocrisy.

Ajna, which in Sanskrit means “mastery”, is related to light. This chakra illuminates the path, brings the spirit into matter, and allows you to acquire spiritual mastery. It asks us to listen to our inner voice, to practice visualization techniques to develop our creative abilities, to base our actions and our decisions on faith and not on our experience, to meditate every day to create silence within us, to connect with the Universe and to experience unconditional love.

If the Third eye is active, we can create harmony between the physical, mental, and soul body, exploring the astral level without anything holding us back.

These plants help us to keep the path we decide to take, cultivate a higher thought, and maintain a positive predisposition.

Mint, Thyme, Rosemary, and Basil are plants with a marked cephalic action: they’re stimulants of the nervous system, they promote concentration and memory. They are suitable for fostering a more rational and lucid attitude, but also one that is open and courageous.

How to use these oils?

Environmental diffusion is certainly one of the most advisable tools for this purpose.

If this is not possible, a handkerchief with a few drops of essential oil to take with you is certainly an effective solution. It is not recommended to smell the bottle that contains the oil directly, in this way you would only perceive the top notes of the plant or the more volatile ones.

Another valid method is application on certain body parts: after diluting the essential oil in a carrier oil, massage the wrists, chest, forehead, temples, and the nape of the neck right before embarking on an astral journey.
