Third Eye Chakra
Posted on
Each chakra within your energy body is associated with its own colour and each colour holds an energy vibration.
Everything in the universe is comprised of energy, including you! We are all made of energy, the universe is the one source of Divine energy which we are all part of, connected to and that which flows through us. The word ‘Chakra’ derives from the Sanskrit meaning ‘wheel’ and literally translated from Hindi tradition it means ‘wheel of spinning energy’. The 7 major chakras are energy centres that connect your spiritual body to your physical body and are like a whirling vortex of energy, they are your powerhouse of energy that governs your physical body.
3rd EYE or 6th Chakra
Indigo is the colour for the 3rd Eye Chakra which is located at the centre of your forehead, between your eyebrows. Its energy radiates down towards your mouth area and up to the top of your head. Intuition, inner wisdom, knowing and extra sensory perception is invoked by this power centre. The ability to tap into endless possibilities of this life and other life times are stored here. This chakra brings you inner connection when you tap into its energy through meditation and imagination.
Each Chakra is associated with certain organs in the body and this chakra is associated with: Pituitary gland. Influences the sense of inner knowing.

You have a great sense of inner connection and balance between your physical and spiritual reality. The feeling of ‘knowing’ comes from this Divine connection as the 3rd eye visions are subtler than regular visions as your intuition and perception is heightened. You will feel motivated and have inspiration for creativity.
Signs that your 3rd Eye chakra is out of balance:
When there is an imbalance in the 3rd eye energy centre you may experience the feeling of disconnection which can lead to depression. Not feeling connected can make you feel stuck, lost and out of balance with life so that you are unable to see a clear vision of who you are. It seems only natural then to over compensate with interests in psychic activities such as tarot or searching for paranormal experiences to find a connection. The opposite can also be true that there is complete rejection from anything spiritual. Sometimes this can take you away from experiencing life in the physical and we are after all, spiritual beings having a human being experience called life. In the physical you could experience headaches, fatigue and sinus problems.
