The Third Eye Chakra (also known as the Brow Chakra) is associated with the color indigo and its Sanskrit name is Ajna. Its symbol is represented by a lotus with two petals. The Third Eye Chakra governs the realm of “second sight”, also known as clairvoyance. It’s where we discern truth, gain wisdom, and refine intuition.

When we are able to “see the big picture”—the “forest for the trees”, if you will—we are operating out of our sixth chakra. This is the realm where we begin to see life symbolically and archetypally, and are thus able detach from our experience.
This detachment helps us see the truth of the matter, and to realize that there is a bigger drama occurring beyond our “small potatoes” situation. When we can assess our life impersonally—even seeing our life symbolically--we can then be more “clear headed” to make conscious choice. The sixth chakra is also where we find challenges with being judgmental or making excuses for our negative patterns. The realm of the Third Eye Chakra also governs having your “head” in the clouds or “living inside your head”.
The word chakra means wheel of light in the language of Sanskrit. The chakras are the body's internal energy centers, and are aligned vertically near the spine. Energy enters the body through the head (the heavens) and the base (the earth beneath). The seven chakras are vortex points where these forces mingle, with each producing a distinctive energy pattern. The purpose of the seven chakras is to absorb, transform, and distribute the body's internal energy, known by terms like prana, life force, or chi. Specific organs and body parts are associated with each chakra, as well as corresponding behavioral, emotional, and personality patterns. It's important to note that the chakras are in constant interplay, and can really only be separated intellectually.
The seven chakras are very much connected with physical, mental, and emotional development and health. In a healthy individual, all the chakras are balanced and energy flows freely and naturally through them. Similar to the principles of Feng Shui, energy can sometimes flow too strongly or too weakly, or be blocked entirely. If this happens in one or more chakras, there will be a corresponding distortion or disharmony, which affects patterns of health. Sometimes, chakras get "stuck" open or closed, and it's important to uncover the root of this state for energetic balance.
