The brow chakra, or sixth chakra, is located on the center of the forehead just above the eyebrows. This chakra is also known as the third-eye chakra and its sanskrit name is Ajna.

Indigo is the color that is most often associated with the brow or third-eye chakra. It is symbolized by a two petaled lotus.

The brow chakra is most commonly associated with intuition. When the brow chakra is well balanced, the result is an increased ability to tap into inner wisdom and knowing. It can also open the door for greater intuition, psychic abilities, and clairvoyance. Other advantages to having a well balanced brow chakra include better memory, increased understanding, greater imagination, and the the ability to more easily overcome personal fears.

All seven major chakras correspond with different glands and parts of the body. The brow chakra is associated with the Pituitary gland, which controls the release of hormones as well as growth, blood pressure, thyroid function, and the bodies ability to regulate its temperature.

The brow chakra is mainly associated with the brain and upper body. It influences the ears, eyes, and nose, as well as the sinuses. The brow chakra is associated with the Autonomic Nervous System, the Forebrain, and the Cerebellum.

Whereas the brow chakra’s main function is tuning into intuition and inner wisdom, it also highly influences the body’s energy field or aura. The aura is the field of energy that surrounds the body and can be seen as color around the body by some intuitive individuals and psychics. This field can be sensed, many times unknowingly, by other people, and can often influence how a person is percieved by others.

It is important to maintain a healthy balance of the brow chakra, as well as the other six major chakras. If the brow chakra is not properly balanced, it can result in headaches, problems with the associated body parts, trouble sleeping, and various mental imbalances. Often, people that have too much energy in the brow chakra will appear spacey or lack focus on the world around them.

It is important for people who wish to develop psychic and intuitive abilities to keep the brow chakra clear and balanced. There are countless resources available to learn how to balance the brow chakra, as well as the other six chakras. Meditation is commonly used when working to balance the brow chakra.

The brow chakra, as well as the other six chakras, are also used by energy healers and Reiki practioners to heal the body.
