The sixth chakra is known as the third eye chakra and it is located in the middle of the forehead linking the eyebrows. In ancient Sanskrit, it is symbolized by the indigo Ajna mandala which translates as “command center”. Its energy bestows us with the supernatural ability of clairvoyance, a higher sensory power to “see” events and images affecting the past, present, or future. The third eye chakra allows us to “remote view” other places or people without actually being there.
When the ajna chakra is imbalanced, it will affect the physical body through lack of concentration, headaches, confusion, psychological disorders, anxiety, and panic attacks. We will be pushovers, allow other people to tread all over us, take advantage of us, and may not feel ourselves to be deserving of success in our own right. On the physical side, the third eye chakra imbalanced person may suffer from headaches, eye problems, vision problems, brain tumors, forgetfulness, lack of concentration, tumors and seizures. This unbalanced state will not allow you to enjoy the full meaning of life and healthy relationship with the outside world.
The deficient ajna chakra will inhibit us from observing things that are right in front of us, such as answers to our problems or challenges. In simpler terms, we will be in denial of what is, repressing what needs to be addressed, and live our lives being continually deceived by others. Subsequently, our lives may become chaotic. Co-dependency on other people may become a problem and we will either hop from one miserable relationship to another, or we will stay inflexibly trapped in an abusive relationship for a very long time.
When the third eye chakra is purified, however, we will be able to see 360 degrees in all directions, figuratively speaking. We will have foresight, insight, and high-powered intuition into people, issues, and events. We will know what to do, the right way to do it, and the perfect time to do it in. It’s as if we become perfectly aligned with the universe’s will. Our perceptive powers are greatly boosted and we will be able to see things before they occur.
An individual with a balanced third eye chakra clearly knows where he or she is going. There is an experience of higher consciousness. This is why this chakra is affiliated with intuition, action on ideas, wisdom and intelligence. The physical characteristics normally demonstrate good health in those areas being managed.
