The sixth chakra, also called the Third Eye chakra, the brow chakra, and in Sanskrit, Ajna, governs our intellectual and intuitive abilities and our potential for spiritual awareness.
Clearing your sixth chakra can help you expand your mental, psychic and spiritual capacities. Read on to learn 10 down-to-earth, satisfying ways that you can clear and cultivate this key energy center. But first:
What Are the Chakras? Chakras are organs of our energy body--energy portals that receive, assimilate and transmit life energies to/from the rest of the cosmos.
There are seven primary chakras, located along the center-line of the body, from the bottom of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with different aspects of your body, life, personality, and spirituality.
The Healthy Chakra A healthy chakra is open, allowing energy to flow freely both horizontally, in an exchange of energy with the universe, and vertically, connecting it with the other chakras.
It's common to have one or more chakras blocked or out of balance to some degree. This can cause disruptions in a person’s body, mind, spirit, and life.
The Sixth Chakra The sixth chakra, also called the Third Eye or brow chakra, is located in the forehead, between and slightly above the eyebrows. Its keywords are "insight" "intellect," and "intuition." Its associated color is indigo, and its element is light.
The chakra of mind, it helps us think clearly. It also helps us see clearly, both physically and psychically. It supports imagination, awareness of the subtle/energetic world, intuitive knowing, and inner vision. When you see something "with your mind's eye," you are seeing it with the sixth chakra.
Sixth-chakra intuition and wisdom are universal and transcendent in nature. The 6th chakra, when highly developed, elevates consciousness and confers deep spiritual insight and awareness. Perception of non-ordinary reality may accompany this.
Is Your Sixth Chakra Healthy?Someone with a clear, balanced, and developed Third Eye chakra usually has a keen intellect balanced with strong intuitive abilities. They often have a good imagination and can visualize things easily. They can "grasp the big picture," and may be seen as visionaries. When the sixth chakra is highly developed, a person will have expanded spiritual awareness and insight, and may be able to perceive and influence non-ordinary planes.
10 Ways to Clear and Balance Your Third Eye Chakra So you'd like more clarity, insight, wisdom, intuition, and spiritual awareness? Here are ten ideas for clearing and balancing your sixth chakra: Ask the universe a question, then patiently wait and watch for the answer. Be prepared to wait from seconds to days, and to have the answer come from within or without. Visit places such as mountain-tops that offer high, clear vistas. Look with your eyes. Then look with your eyes closed. Notice what you see. Imagine your head as a balloon. Allow it to float to an upright position, positioning your ears directly over your shoulders. Do this often to train yourself to maintain good spinal alignment. Meditate, focusing your attention in the center of your head at the level of (or slightly above) the eyebrows.
Wear or decorate a room in a shade of purple that is pleasing to you. Allow it to remind you of your intention to develop your third eye. Use the 6th chakra essential oils of jasmine, rose, or lotus. (Don't apply directly to skin.) Close your eyes. Relax all the external muscles around your eyes. Then soften the internal eye muscles, feeling the relaxation penetrate deep into your head. Rest like this for a while. Notice any images that arise. Draw or do another art form that requires close observation. Go star-gazing.
Repeat an affirmation such as:
"I have keen insight and intuition."
"My intellect is a powerful tool for good."
"I envision and create beauty and goodness."
"I am open to experiencing non-ordinary reality."
"I am open to greater spiritual awareness."
Intention Matters! When working with your subtle energy, intention is the key to success. So before any chakra-clearing activities, set your intention. For example, you might set a general intention for third eye chakra balancing, or a more specific goal of opening awareness to non-ordinary reality.
With your purpose clear, perform the activity mindfully. Pause occasionally to silently affirm that your actions are creating your intention. Pairing any of these activities with an affirmation is especially effective.
A Sixth Chakra BlessingMay you understand your true nature. May you see clearly in every way. May your insight bring you new levels of spiritual awareness.
