Sixth Chakra Imbalances

Posted By Becky Cochran on February 5, 2010

The sixth chakra is also known as the brow chakra, or the third eye. It is located between the eyebrows, and influences the entire upper portion of the head from the top of the forehead to the tip of the nose. It influences our ability to analyze, think, reason, perceive, understand, discern, dream, imagine and visualize. This chakra, when healthy and fully open also opens up the psychic gift of clairvoyance. On the color spectrum, this chakra resonates with the color indigo blue. This chakra governs our inner vision and imagination, one of our greatest powers.

On a physical level the sixth chakra affects the head, the eyes, all the sense organs, the brain, and the nervous system. It operates in conjunction with the pituitary gland and enhances our memory, our dream state and our ability to learn intellectually and to understand the nature of the world around us.

If the sixth chakra is deficient, or blocked, you may suffer from headaches, dizziness, eyestrain, weak vision, or have difficulty concentrating or focusing. You may also have such afflictions as attention deficit disorder. (more…)

FIFTH CHAKRA (THROAT) – ETHER

The fifth chakra, known as the throat chakra, is located at the back of the neck and encompasses the entire jaw. It governs communication, connection, creativity and personal intention. On a physiological level, this chakra influences the throat, thyroid, trachea, esophagus, parathyroid, hypothalamus, neck, mouth, teeth and ears and, when unhealthy or deficient, it affects the health of these physical areas in the body. On an energy level, it is the chakra of personal fifth chakra; it is the channel through which we express our Divine Spirit to the world. On the color spectrum, this vibrates energetically to the color of a blue summer sky. Its focus is, “I express. I listen. I communicate.”

The fifth chakra not only governs our ability to express ourselves authentically and creatively in life. It also influences our ability to actively listen to and genuinely hear others , which is the foundation for understanding. It is the energetic gateway to positive negotiation, discussion, and most important, teaching and learning. In many ways, this chakra is the portal to the world, moving us from solely our own subjective perspective to allows us to experience different points of view, thus giving us the chance to learn.

Balance your Heart Chakra

FOURTH CHAKRA (HEART) – AIR

The fourth chakra is located near your physical heart in the center of the chest. This center, when awakened and healthy, governs your capacity to have compassion, forgiveness, understanding, generosity, empathy, caring and love, for self and others. The heart chakra is the domain of human intimacy; it activates affection, warmth, nurturing, friendship, kindness, patience, and familiarity. On an energetic level, it serves as the gateway from the lower ego or physical self, to the higher soul or spiritual self. The heart is the most important organ in the body, so is the fourth chakra, your spiritual heart center, the most important energy chakra in your psychic make-up. This is because love is the greatest human power we are given and the highest channel of life force available to us.

The heart chakra brings about harmony, healthy, and a spiritual insight. When the heart chakra is healthy, you begin to love yourself in a deeply compassionate and unconditional way opening the door for you to extend such love outward. The heart chakra is about focused on giving and receiving love without hesitation. (more…)
