Posted by Melissa Brown on 2/28/2017 to Chakras

We're almost at the end of our chakra series… or perhaps the beginning! Let’s look at our Third Eye Chakra, as we complete our alignment.

Galaxy Guide - Third Eye Chakra

6th - Third Eye Chakra

Bridging intelligence and cosmic insight, the Third Eye Chakra is located between the eyes; affiliated with intuition, imagination, wisdom and decision making it is also linked to the pituitary gland, eyes, nose, ears and skeletal system. While practicing yoga, the child’s pose and other forward bending poses help. This chakra is aligned with the element of light, therefore light therapy, sunlight or sitting in the stillness of nature with an eye pillow can be energizing. Consuming purple coloured fruits, eggplant, purple cabbage, figs, prunes, chocolate, or drinking lavender tea enables balance and a strong sense of perception.

Crystal Therapy TIP

Wearing / surrounding yourself with indigo stones or crystals, such as lapis, sodalite or celestite is said to encourage balance of the Third Eye Chakra.

Affirmation

Visualization

Visualize a spinning indigo-blue ball of energy in your minds eye, between your eyebrows. Imagine it expand all around your head with purpose, strengthening your ability to dream, to visualize, to think without attachment. Connect to your inner knowing. Visualize your mind illuminating with the light until you feel fully clear.
