THE SIXTH CHAKRA
The BROW Chakra, The THIRD EYE Chakra or AGNYA
[It is from this Chakra the Archetypal Identity rises]
Location: Center of the forehead, between the eyebrows
Color: Indigo (dark blue)
Element: Light
Glands/Organs: Pituitary Glands, Left Eye, Nose, Ears
Gems/Minerals: Lapis Lazuli, Azurite, Sodalite, Quartz Crystal, Sapphire
Foods: Blue/Purple Fruits and Vegetables
This Chakra is related to the act of seeing, both physically and intuitively. We are all psychic to some degree and by activating this chakra we open ourselves to other worlds and visions. It opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of archetypal levels. It deals with clairvoyance, intuition, and spiritual insight. It allows one to penetrate higher realms. The third eye is the center of psychic powers and higher intuition where you can receive guidance, channeling, and tune into your higher self. This is the center that enables you to experience telepathy, astral travel and past lives. Children quite often use this Chakra openly, but as adults we tend to close it off or try to block this center. On a more mundane level this Chakra is associated with thought and physical vision. It is also the Chakra of spiritual love and connection. It vitalizes the lower brain (cerebellum) and central nervous system. The Third Eye Chakra can affect dreams, imagination, and concentration.
Ideally this Chakra allows us to “see” clearly, letting us perceive the big picture. It brings soul realization, intuition, and insight. It stimulates imagination, concentration, and peace of mind. It is the connection with your divine source, allowing the ability of expansion, creativity, and awareness of “who” you are. This is the connection from spirit, to soul, to 3rd eye, to mind.
When this Chakra is congested, you will find a diminishing or even lack of imagination and difficulty expressing your ideas. You may find yourself undisciplined and/or oversensitive to the feelings of others. It may also contribute to a fear of success.
When over-stimulated, it can bring too high a level of idealism, too active an imagination. You may feel a need to constantly express your ideas and thoughts. It also can make one egomaniacal, proud, manipulative, religiously dogmatic, or authoritarian.
When unbalanced the Brow Chakra can affect our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions, cause lack of concentration, fear, cynicism, and tension. We may suffer from fuzzy thinking and from intellectual stagnation. Physical manifestations of this include headaches as well as sinus problems, vision and hearing problems, and bad dreams.
If the Sixth Chakra is blocked there could be difficulty focusing in life, we may be distant from others, it can cause one to be overly detached from the world, unable to descend from the psychic realms or unable to reach them. In the worst case there can be mental health problems such as schizophrenia.
Keeping the Brow Chakra healthy and balanced will bring wisdom, devotion, and perception beyond duality. It brings improved intellectual and psychic abilities. It enhances memory and perceptions and expands imagination. The intuitive abilities will be tuned and will imbue the Aura with the knowledge gained
