Are you intuitive? Can you visualize easily? Do you have a highly developed imagination? Or are you more inclined to be rational, have difficulty with inner vision and imagination?
These are all indications of how your third eye or brow chakra is functioning. It is the energy center responsible for the kind of intuition that comes through a kind of “inner vision”. So if your brow chakra is well developed, you may have found yourself envisioning the winner of the Super Bowl, or perhaps seeing in your mind’s eye the team who was celebrating, or perhaps even a scoreboard with the winning score on it!
Brow Chakra Properties
The brow chakra is the domain of physical sight, mystical awareness, intelligence, insight, and of wisdom.
Psychologically the brow houses judgment, intelligence, and sense of reality, rationality and wisdom.
The brow harmonizes these forces, and so has a lot to do with personality and the self one brings to the world.
Physical Location and Sphere of Influence
The brow chakra is located in the space between and a bit above the eyes.
This center is the last place where the three major energy channels€â€the right, left and middle (Ida, Pingala and Sushumna) come together. The right and left channels terminate here while the central channel continues on to the Crown Chakra, the energy center of higher awareness.
The Brow center does not open more than 50% until the age of 30-40.
Physically the Brow Chakra governs the Pineal Gland; Brain; Neurological System; Pituitary; Eyes, Ears, Nose and the base of the skull.
The brow center can be thought of as command central for the five senses and the conscious and subconscious mind. It also is the regulator of the other chakras and their energy channels.
Balance and the Brow Chakra
Physical signs of malfunction in the sixth chakra Are: headaches; poor visual perception; nightmares; hallucinations; dizziness; confusion; poor memory; insomnia; acute sinusitis
Deficient Energy in this chakra leads to a lack of discipline and inner vision, poor memory, fear of success and an inability to understand subtle signals. The result of being unable to sense subtle signs is demonstrated through an unrealistic appraisal of situations and setting standards or expectations too high or too low.
Other signs of a malfunctioning brow center are poor intuition, excessive focus on rational thought, difficulty visualizing or imagining and poor dream recall.
Excessive Energy in the sixth chakra manifests as difficulty tuning into or trusting intuition. In addition there may be rigidity, self righteousness, and authoritarianism, arrogance, being overly intellectual or excessively rational. An easy way to remember these types of imbalances is to think in terms of a heavy reliance on the head and no heart.
Reliance on the intellect without the balance of heart energy is generally a consequence of drawing too much energy upward from the lower chakras which damages the third eye. This chakra needs the balance, support and stability of the lower chakra energies. Without such support there can be obsessive fantasies, delusions, hallucinations, with dreams, images or memory split off from one’s conscious experience.
Health and Balance in the Brow Chakra
A healthy brow chakra encourages health of the lower chakras.
When this chakra is in balance your worldview is one that is open and accepting without critical judgment€â€present moment awareness of the world within the framework of the five senses is then free to move beyond this level of consciousness into the realm of intuition and psychic experience
As mentioned previously, the left and right channels merge here—they are bound to present time, but the central channel extends beyond into the timeless where past, present and future are all available for learning, identifying patterns and planning.
A healthy flow of energy through the brow chakra allows you to focus your mind as needed while also allowing for disciplined imagination, the ability to accurately access intuition with healthy detachment from the material.
