This week on our 8 week Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Chakra Cleanse we move upwards to our Sixth Chakra, our Third Eye Chakra or Ajna. As you read the information below, begin to connect to how your Third Eye Chakra may be manifesting in your life. Perhaps you feel quite in balance and strong in some of the areas mentioned. Maybe you feel you need a little balance and strengthening. Whatever comes up for you, bring it along to class to consciously work through your Third Eye Chakra to cleanse and bring balance to these areas of your life. |
Perception, Observation, Non-Judgement, Neutral Mind, Intutition
Location: Between the Eyebrows
Organ/Gland: Brain & Pituitary Gland
Colour: Indigo
Qualities: Centre of intuition, clairvoyance, visualising, fantasizing, concentration and determindation, self-inititation, power of projection, understanding your purpose.
Shadow: Confusion, depression, rejection of spirituality, over-intellecutalizing.
The Third Eye Chakra is where we shift from the known to the unknown. Our perception of the world through our senses shifts to our perception of the world through consciousness.
The Third Eye Chakra is where we end duality. We end our perception of right and wrong, good and bad, light and dark and we only see the truth of all that is. We see everything together and have no judgement or labelling upon it. We only see love.
With a balanced Third Eye Chakra we have the opportunity to;
To awaken these qualities we need to develop the skills of;
1) Listening
2) Being Silent - not talking and not thinking
MANIFESTATION
The Third Eye Chakra is also the seat of manifestation. Where the Throat Chakra begins the process of bringing our desires into being, our Third Eye Chakra sees them before being spoken about. To manifest our true desires, we must connect with the energy of our heart, otherwise what we manifest is not in line with the desires of the universe. The Third Eye Chakra also allows us to be present so that we can enjoy the journey of life, rather than be focused on the future or the past as we do when we become preoccupied in the mind.
Clearing and balancing all of the Chakras is important for the clear pathway of these Visions to come down into physical manifestation. The Third Chakra also helps assimilate and focus the desires of all of the lower chakras. Rather than being confused by mixed messages from our emotional body or from the logic and reason of the mind, we tap into our instincts and intuition and this becomes our guide.
UNDERDEVELOPED, UNBALANCED AND UNALIGNED STATES
As a child you were not taught to trust and believe in yourself. Instead, you were taught to trust "expert" opinions. Your parents, teachers and preachers were "god" substitutes. You learned to evaluate "pros and cons" with you "rational" mind and not listen to your intuition and heart to know your truth. Your educational program emphasised importance of empirical data and information and reliance on the intellect to figure things out. Spiritual awareness and experiences were completely missing from early formation.
