Awakening the Third Eye
On February 8, 2023, Chris Marie Dumasis of the @sacredspacetarot shared her passion, knowledge, and experiences to a group of hopeful spiritual wanderers through her Psyche Third Eye Awakening and Spiritual Protection workshop. Prior to that, she provided a free community third eye cleansing on February 6, 2023.
Gaining access to our third eye can be an incredibly rewarding experience! It can help us increase awareness, connect with the universe, and grow spiritually. With the right tools and techniques, we can awaken our sixth sense and open our third eye. This will open the door to a greater understanding of our inner truth and uncover new opportunities for personal growth. Chris provided a strong foundation for someone like me who is beginning or re-discovering the spiritual path.
Rediscovering My Path as Line, The Purple Seeker
I started offering my services as a tarot practitioner in the first quarter of 2021 (though I cannot remember the date exactly). I enjoyed reading for over a hundred seekers out there. It was a truly amazing experience to connect with their energies and read the cards with them to provide guidance and clarity. I paused my services in mid-January 2022 because my life became busy, and I lacked the motivation to integrate this life with the mundane. I found a lot of excuses not to do my spiritual practices, which eventually made me feel unworthy of providing services to my clients. Who am I to assist them if I cannot will myself back to the path, right?
So, it has been so many months since I last did a reading for myself and others. But this January 2023, I found a lingering hope, a spark that urges me to pick myself up and continue what I started. I started visiting Instagram again, and the first post I saw was Chris’ story announcing her workshop. I signed up immediately because it felt like a sign from the Universe!
The Lessons I Learned from the Psyche Third Eye Awakening Workshop
I cannot express how much I appreciate her passionate way of explaining things during the activity. She radiates love and devotion for the craft, and I am truly honored to receive that kind of essence from her, even if it was an online workshop. The five-hour class did not feel long at all. I was noting all things she was saying the entire time, afraid of missing valuable inputs (this is even if she already said she would provide a copy of the rituals). There was comfort and reassurance in her way of teaching that I will be supported no matter what and that I am not weird or psychologically distraught just because I am believing and exploring these things. She created a warm and open learning environment, I did not feel like a stranger, even if I didn’t know all the people in the group.
One of the things that deeply lingered with me was her teaching about not being afraid of the darkness. And we’ll be able to overcome that fear if we are sincere and devoted to honoring ourselves, the god within us, and the gods we decide to have a connection with. It is essential to be aware that there is no need to be afraid of the darkness. The darkness itself is simply a part of life, and it can be used as a tool to help us understand ourselves, our life, and the universe. Learning to accept the darkness, rather than fear it, can be a powerful way to deepen our spiritual journey. She encouraged us to call on our gods, angels, or spirit guides to protect us in times we feel overwhelmed by the dark and fear. When we acknowledge the darkness and have faith in our connection to the divine beings, we can move through it with confidence and strength.
She also emphasized that, in order to nourish our third eye, it is very important to nourish the physical body as well. Eating healthy foods and being conscious about the products we use in our daily lives will truly assist us in making or breaking our connection to the spiritual world we wish to belong to. She also suggested rituals and meditation practices to cultivate our spiritual experience further. If you want to know these practices, better follow her and watch out for the next batch of the workshop!
Spiritual Protection
In addition to the potential for spiritual growth, awakening our third eye can also provide a form of protection because we can feel and sense if evil eyes or bad jujus are sent our way. The second part of the workshop was dedicated to equipping us with different ways of protecting ourselves against psychic attacks. She highlighted the practice where we will perform The Qabalistic Cross and Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram. She also said that it is okay if we cannot perform the ritual perfectly as long as we are true to our intention. She encouraged us to practice and keep practicing because it is a way to evolve consciously: if we keep practicing and continuing despite the challenges the Spirit sends our way.
I am genuinely moved by this experience, so if you are reading this and feel drawn to what I have shared, please contact Chris and attend this workshop. I hope it will be an incredible experience for you, just as it was for me.
