Feeling Rooted?

THE ROOT CHAKRA

Located at the base of the spine, this chakra is associated with a red cube.

A functioning root chakra will provide:

Stability
A feeling of being grounded
Mental Clarity

ROOT DOWN!
Why is the root chakra important to you?

Feeling grounded is important, that's why we create an intention every time we begin something. (See the posting on our manifesto.)

Stability (being grounded) is what allows you to branch out and excel in your pursuits--you can't expand unless you set you have strong, steady roots.

Chakras

Chakras are spinning wheels of energy. There are generally thought to be seven, located along the spine, each serving a special purpose.

When you're feeling low for one reason or another, you might be having a problem with one of your chakras.

FROM THE HEART
We'll use the heart chakra as an example. The heart chakra is the fourth chakra, associated with the color green, and located at the heart.

It is in charge of love, compassion, and understanding.

If you're having trouble feeling compassionate, you might have a problem with your heart chakra.

CHAKRA MATINENCE
So what can you do if your chakras aren't spinning properly?

The same answer we have for most problems--DO YOGA! Doing yoga helps keep chakras working the way they should.

Need more? There are countless ways to fix chakras, but one is super simple...just focus on the chakra you'd like to fix!

SUPER HEROS TO THE RESCUE!
That's where our new SUPER HERO CHAKRA line comes in--we've created a shirt for each chakra! So slip into one of our super soft tees and get ready to be super charged!

To check out the line, visit the Third Eye Threads website.

Our Intention

2009-08-14T07:48:00.000-07:00

Third Eye Threads is on an adventure. We’re bringing our fabulous t-shirts to you! With any adventure, mission or new path, we set an intention.

WHY?
Not only do we make great clothes, we also practice yoga. And part of our tantric yoga philosophy tells us to set an intention.

INTENTION
The intention is what reminds us WHY we do things. It keeps us grounded. It’s our foundation.

When things get confusing we go back to our intention, and it reminds us why our pursuit is important.

WE’LL SHARE
We call our intention the "Third Eye Threads Manifesto."

Each week we'll go into detail about one part of it. We'll give you stories, interviews and personal experiences.

But it's all listed below, if you'd like to read it now!

MAKE IT YOURS
Go ahead. Use our manifesto, or part of it, to help you set your intention.

Because that’s why we’re here. To help you Be Playful. Be Powerful. Be Beautiful.

A Little Inspiration

2009-08-12T14:10:00.000-07:00

Here's a quote Chad found in Charlie Trotter’s book Charlie Trotter’s.

It's become part of our philosophy, and we thought you might like it too!

“Until there is commitment, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues forth from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.

Begin it now!”

ABOUT
Third Eye Threads is a vintage-inspired, eco-friendly yoga and active-wear line made by yogis for you, (yes, you!) with Love!

We want you to wear your Third Eye Threads and feel empowered to Be Powerful; Be Playful; Be Beautiful…because we know you already are!

MISSION
Third Eye Threads is a grassroots effort (that means we work hard because we believe in this!) founded by certified Anusara yoga teacher Chad Satlow in 2003.

Our clothes are socially responsible and eco-friendly. AND—they’re designed and organically produced in the United States.

YOGA
Third Eye Threads incorporates yogic symbols, (like Ganesh the obstacle-free elephant) that encourage everyone to uncover their inner yogi.

But don’t worry if you’ve never even stepped one toe on a yoga mat.

“A yogi isn’t just someone practicing yoga—it applies to everyone who acts skillfully in the community, aligns with grace and lives from the heart,” says Satlow .

STYLE
Third Eye Threads incorporates a late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s vintage style.

Why? Because it’s an era that stands for change, reminds us each individual can make a difference, and encourages us to care for our planet.

FRIENDS
Third Eye Threads is currently worn by many of the world’s best yoga teachers including: Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois, Sharath Jois, Erich Schiffman, Desiree Rumbaugh, Amy Ippolittie, Sean Corn, Lilias Folan and Sianna Sherman.
