The Third Eye Chakra is the 6th Chakra in the system and is located in the centre of the forehead, just above the eyebrows. This Chakra is often associated with the colour Indigo and is connected to our intuition, perception and insight.
What are The Chakras?
The concept of chakras can be traced back to ancient Indian texts, including the Vedas and Upanishads. These texts describe the existence of energy centres, or "wheels," within the body. The word "chakra" itself is derived from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "circle." Chakras are believed to be spinning wheels of energy that run along the spine, from the base to the crown of the head. Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual qualities, and they work together to maintain balance and harmony in our lives. Among the seven primary chakras, the Third Eye Chakra stands out as the centre of intuition, insight, and spiritual wisdom.

Balancing the Third Eye Chakra
Balancing the Third Eye Chakra is essential for tapping into your inner wisdom and enhancing your intuitive abilities. Here are some practical ways to bring balance to this energy centre:
1. Meditation: Regular meditation practices, focusing on the Third Eye Chakra, can help open and balance it. Visualise a radiant, indigo light at your forehead during meditation, and concentrate on deepening your connection to your inner self, chant “OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM”.
2. Mindfulness & Journaling: Engage in mindfulness practices to stay present and in tune with your intuition. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings, and trust your gut instincts. Write down any “intuitive hits” you get and reflect back on them. This helps build trust in your intuition.
3. Energy Healing: Energy healers help clear any blockages in your Third Eye Chakra through techniques like Reiki, chakra balancing, or crystal therapy. Check out my website for my energy healing sessions starting at just $88 available online or in-person.

5. Yoga and Physical Exercise: Incorporate yoga poses like Child's Pose and Downward Dog, which encourage balance and focus in the Third Eye Chakra. Regular physical exercise can also promote overall chakra balance.
6. Healthy Diet: Nourish your body with foods that support the Third Eye Chakra, such as blueberries, blackberries, and dark chocolate. Hydrate with indigo-coloured beverages like blueberry or blackberry tea.
7. Visualisation and Affirmations: Use positive affirmations like "I trust my intuition" and "I am connected to my inner wisdom" while focusing on your Third Eye Chakra. Visualisation can also help remove any blockages and open this energy centre.
The Third Eye Chakra serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing us to tap into our inner wisdom and intuition. Recognising the signs of an imbalanced Third Eye Chakra and taking proactive steps to restore its harmony can lead to a more profound understanding of oneself and the world around us.
Through meditation, mindfulness, energy healing, and other practices, we can awaken the power of our Third Eye Chakra, enriching our lives with insight and spiritual wisdom. Remember, the path to balance and enlightenment starts from within.
