The Third Eye Chakra, also known as Anja , is our sixth Chakra to be explored. The Third Eye Chakra is located in the center of the forehead, above the middle of your eyebrows.
The Third Eye Chakra is linked to awareness, spiritual communication, and perception. It is often referred to as one's "sixth sense". Your intuition is also highly affected by your Third Eye Chakra.
If your Third Eye Chakra is blocked, you may experience tension headaches, blurred vision, sinus issues, and dizziness. Additionally, you may have insomnia, nightmares, and brain fog.
Emotionally, a blocked Third Eye Chakra can present as excessive worrying, over-thinking, issues with concentrating, self-doubt and closed-mindedness.
Some asanas to add to your practice that can assist with opening up your Third Eye Chakra are:
--Lotus
--Dolphin
--Bow Pose
--Child's Pose
--Legs Up The Wall
--Wide-Legged Forward Fold
--Puppy Pose
--Lizard
Gentle pressure applied with the index and middle fingers to the Third Eye Chakra, or by resting the forehead on a block during poses such as Child's Pose, Wide-Legged Forward Fold, and Lizard, can also aid in opening a blocked Third Eye Chakra.
Indigo is the color associated with the Third Eye Chakra, so consider adding gemstones such as amethyst, lapis lazuli, laborite, sodalite, azurite, moonstone, fluorite, and kyanite to your asana practice or meditation.
Some oils for aromatherapy that are beneficial for the Third Eye Chakra are Clary Sage, Cypress, Frankincense, Juniper, Patchouli, Rosemary, Sandalwood, and Marjoram.
