What Is the Third Eye Chakra?
The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth chakra and is located between the eyebrows in the centre of the forehead. It is associated with the colours indigo and deep blue and connected to themes of:
• intuition
• inner wisdom
• clarity
• awareness
• insight
• perception
• imagination
• spiritual connection
When the Third Eye Chakra feels balanced, people often feel more connected to their intuition, clearer in their thinking and more trusting of their inner guidance. There can be a greater sense of perspective, emotional awareness and connection to both yourself and the world around you.
When it feels out of balance, it may show up as:
• overthinking or mental overwhelm
• difficulty trusting yourself
• feeling disconnected from intuition
• confusion or lack of clarity
• emotional fog or indecision
• difficulty slowing the mind
• excessive worry or mental exhaustion
• feeling disconnected from purpose or direction
Many people feel drawn to Third Eye Chakra healing during periods of personal growth, spiritual exploration, burnout or emotional transition.
