The sixth chakra is located at the center of your head behind the forehead; also known as the third eye. It is called this because it is our minds eye– for inner and outer seeing.
The energy of this chakra allows us to experience clear thought as well as gifts of spiritual contemplation and self reflection. It allows us to access our inner guidance that comes from the depths of our being. It allows us to cut through illusion and to access deeper truths – to see beyond the mind, beyond the words. This center is also the receptor of psychic information.
Perception and thought are the main attributes of this chakra center — where wisdom, knowledge and rational thinking need to be in balance with nonlinear, non-rational thought.
When this chakra is out of balance you may notice the following:
- You have difficulty concentrating and taking in factual information
- Tend to live in a fantasy world
- You have poor memory + vision
- Think there is only one way of doing things; might say “I don’t want not hear this right now”
- Aren’t able to see or imagine the future and what it could be
Health in this center calls for a balance between the left-brain/right-brain traits. One way to balance this chakra is using sound or visualization in meditation.
