The sixth chakra is the center for our inner and outer seeing. The nature of the chakra is to perceive and command— to take in images through perception but also form inner images from which we command our reality, what I refer to as creative visualization.
Signs your third eye may be blocked:
- Trouble sleeping or insomnia
- Confusion or anxiety about decisions you need to make
- Frequent headaches
- Lack of imagination
- Unsure of what to do with your life
- Poor memory
- Feel pulled to meditate, be in silence, and do restorative activities
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.
Questions to ask yourself:
- Can you tell the difference between your wisdom and your thinking? If not, then pay attention to each and start to trust the wisdom/intuition.
- Do you often ask “Tell me what you think”? Meditate and tap into your own inner guidance system. The more you trust it the more connected you will be to it.
- Are you able to see/visualize what you want? Practice visualization every day– think of it as day dreaming but with clear focus on a goal.
Ways to balance this chakra:
- Meditate and practice mindfulness
- Practice active imagination, where you vividly imagine something you want to occur
- Examine the deeper meanings of events in your life
- See things from a larger perspective
- Pay attention to how you perceive yourself vs. how others see you
- Wear deep indigo blue as color therapy
- Notice if you are overly “left brained” or “right brained” and try to balance logic with your creative side focusing on the one you need more of
