We explore the sixth chakra, or third eye, in this episode focused on perception, intuition, and our ability to see the truth of our lives clearly. This energy center governs our inner vision and houses our right to see —its demon is illusion, which keeps us from perceiving reality accurately.
• The sixth chakra (Ajna) is located in the center of the forehead, though more accurately in the third ventricle of the brain
• Associated with the color indigo, it represents perception and the ability to command our attention
• Perception is not passive but an act of creation—what we focus on shapes our reality
• This chakra begins developing in adolescence when we start asking "who am I?" and "who do I want to become?"
• Trauma impacts the sixth chakra through repression (putting on blinders) or dissociation (disconnecting emotions from images)
• Being told our perceptions aren't real as children causes us to doubt our intuition later in life
• Signs of sixth chakra imbalance include difficulty visualizing, denial, rigid thinking, and inability to hold multiple perspectives
• Healing practices include meditation, third eye bodywork with oils (like shirodhara), developing intuition, and creating visual art
• Try drawing your chakras as a visual journaling exercise to connect with your intuition
Join us Wednesday and Friday for follow-up episodes focused specifically on illusion and intuition.
