Therapy: Third Eye Chakra

Third Eye Chakra. I See.

The Third Eye Chakra is in the centre of a person's intuition, inner wisdom, psychic abilities and their sixth sense.

The Sanskrit name is AJNA.

This chakra is located between the eyebrows.

The colour of this chakra is indigo.

When there is an imbalance or obstruction of the Third Eye Chakra, a person can feel they have suppressed intuition, a lack of imagination and they may experience vision disorders. A person may also experience headaches, (in particular, migraines) and could be prone to nightmares.

When in balance, a person has profound, guided intuition, perception of future events, an unclouded vision and a sense of Divine Guidance.

Yoga poses such as child's pose, downward facing dog, pyramid pose, head to knee pose and knees to chest pose can help to balance the Third Eye Chakra.

The mantra that helps the Third Eye Chakra is, OM.

Affirmations:

I am a wise being.

I have an innate ability to look beyond the apparent.

The Universe guides me all the time.

I listen to the subtle messages my soul conveys me.

I am an observer.

I have a wild imagination that is unstoppable.

Foods.

All the purple fruits and vegetables help to balance this chakra.

Crystals.

Amethyst, azurite, purple garnet, tanzanite, fluorite.

It is important to note that all the seven chakras must be aligned and balanced, we cannot single out one chakra to bring harmony to one area of our lives. All the chakras are deeply connected and 'retuning' just one will not be of any benefit.
