Chakra Balancing - Brow Chakra

CHAKRA BALANCING

Brow/Third Eye – (Ajna) – Indigo/Deep Blue

This is the sixth of the seven major chakras and associated with the element Ether.

When we fully associate ourselves with the power contained within the Brow Chakra we are able to step beyond the mind, with all its desires and longings, and enter the realms of knowledge and wisdom. However, if this chakra is blocked, we will confuse information with knowledge; or get carried away with our own powers of insight and use them for our own means or spiritual arrogance.

 Physical Issues associated with the Brow Chakra are headaches and problems within the skull generally, including the eyes and ears. If you are continually stressed or experiencing headaches, part of the solution is to give attention to the Brow Chakra. You may not be nourishing it enough with meditation and visualization in quiet times, and must learn, for the sake of your own health, to switch off completely from this noisy modern world. If you sit in front of a computer screen for too long, the photo receptors in your eyes become stressed and headaches result. Counter this by visualizing the colour green, or taking a break from your computer and simply looking at some grass or vegetation outside; this will relax your eyes, helping to keep your energy levels up and your health good, since the world of nature benefits you as a whole.

A few main characteristics are:

Colour – Indigo/Deep Blue
