We’re now at the 6th chakra. The Third Eye Chakra.

Located in the middle of the brow and up by about half an inch. The associated gland is the Pineal gland, and the related body parts are the eyes, nervous system, brain, ears and nose. The colour of the third eye chakra is Indigo, Purple, Blue and Violet.

Related physical problems could be blindness, headaches, nightmares, eyestrain, blurred vision, brain dis-ease, mental health and neurological disorders.
There may be other problems such as mental health difficulties, like depression, psychotic episodes, manic depression……

When I first started to learn to meditate, it was working with the third eye chakra that allowed me to connect at a deeper level. The third eye can help us visualise our heart’s desire, it can help us see which path we need to take. If you work with visualisation techniques, your third eye will offer you a real insight into the ‘truth’ you need to know at this time.
A fully functioning third eye chakra will help you see what’s really going on around you, you will have much clearer and stronger intuition.

Ways to work with the third eye are, of course, mediation and visualisations. Mandala work is also very beneficial.

Crystals that work well with the third eye chakra are those of the same associated colour. My favourite being Iolite, Azurite, Sodalite and Amethyst.
