Working with Your Third Eye Chakra: Ajna

Ajna, your Third Eye or Brow Chakra, is located at the central forehead just above the eyes.

The Third Eye Chakra is the chakra of extrasensory perception and the ability to connect with otherworldly entities.

The Third Eye Chakra is about understanding others and ourselves. The Third Eye Chakra is all about thinking, imagination, and creativity. This chakra also links to memory, allowing us to learn from our past mistakes. This is the chakra of clairvoyance, receiving psychic and spiritual visions and interpreting those symbols.

Overactive Third Eye Chakra

When your Third Eye Chakra is overactive, or exaggerated, you may find yourself being bossy, unpleasant, arrogant, and egotistical. You may be stubborn and unbending with a closed mind and no imagination.

Or when the Third Chakra is exaggerated, you may bore others with one-sided conversations about your interests, not concerning yourself with the needs of others.

Underactive Third Eye Chakra

When your Third Eye Chakra is underactive, or deficient, you may find it difficult to finish what you start, sacrificing too much for others in an effort to keep the peace. Standing your ground may be too much of an effort. You may feel envious of others that you feel have what you are lacking. Criticism may hit too hard, making it difficult to recover.

Third Chakra and Your Health

The Third Eye Chakra is said to rule over the head and several glands around the body.

Here are a few of the common Third Eye Chakra health complaints: Headache, migraine, neuralgia, sinusitis, sleeplessness, hormone imbalance, vision problems, brain tumors, and balance problems.

Healing Your Third Eye Chakra

There are many ways to heal your Chakras. Working with an energy healer is an excellent way to jumpstart the healing process for you. Energy healing is a noninvasive therapy where the healer uses their connection to the Universe to channel energy through themselves and direct that energy, through their hands, to your Chakras.

If you wish to work on your Chakras alone, you can always develop your connection to the Universe and channel your own healing energy. White light with blue flecks for health, pale green flecks for emotional healing, or pale lavender flecks for spiritual healing.

Physical objects may aid in your Chakra healing, such as crystals, things of certain colors, or essential oils.

Use cleansed and charged crystals for Chakra healing, hold them in your hands and envision the crystal directing its energy into your Chakra. Crystals that are linked to your Third Eye Chakra are:

• Amethyst

• Azurite

• Calcite

• Clear Quartz

• Dark Sapphire

• Fluorite

• Lapis Lazuli

• Sodalite

• Tanzanite

Essential Oils may also be used to heal and align your Chakras, though it is best to speak with a qualified aromatherapist before you use essential oils because they can have an effect on the entire body. Make sure to use a carrier oil if you are applying the oil directly to your skin, or, to be safer, add a few drops into your bath or a diffuser.

Essential Oils for the Third Eye Chakra are:

• Everlasting

• Frankincense

• Geranium

• Hyacinth

• Jasmine

• Pine

• Rose

• Rosemary

• Sage

• Sandalwood

Color Healing is another interesting way to heal your Chakras. Color healing is a way of introducing color to the chakras to produce a specific outcome. Anything will work, a piece of ribbon, large buttons, marbles, or a scrap of material. As long as the color is bright and clear. Plain color is better than patterned.

Place the colored item either next to the chakra or on top of the chakra, visualize a white energy coming from the Universe, as it passes through the item, it takes on the color of that item and directs itself to the chakra being healed.

The Third Eye Chakra is associated with the color Indigo Blue. Indigo Blue is related to ESP, inner wisdom, intuition, and psychism.

Lastly, another way to use Color Healing is to eat fruits and vegetables in the color associated with the Chakra for a day or two.

Fruits and vegetables including:

• Blackberries

• Radishes

• Black currants
