Ajna Chakra

The sixth chakra (Ajna) is located at the third eye point.

Color: indigo blue

Sound: aum, om

Food: none. hallucinogens

This chakra is associated with clear seeing (clairvoyance), imagination, intuition, memory, and dreaming.

It is associated with seeing the patterns in your life.  Why do you do what you do?  What are your motivations?  What do you do out of fear?

Meditation is the main tool for balancing this chakra.  We sit with ourselves and the patterns of mind are revealed.  Once we see what is happening, we can more easily make a change.  Once we see clearly what is happening, we realize we have a choice as to how to act.

If the energy in the sixth chakra malfunctions, one might experience hallucinations, headaches, or nightmares.

If the energy there is excessive, one might hallucinate, or see/imagine things that aren't actually happening.

If the energy is deficient, one can't see clearly, or seems oblivious to patterns or tendencies.
