A
seven-month editorial series began with the Root Chakra (Sept), Sacral Chakra
(Oct), Solar Plexus (Nov), Heart (Dec), Throat (Jan), February is all about the
Brow Chakra. What is it? What organs are affected? How can I support my energy
body health?
Chakras
are an integral part of physical, psychological and spiritual functions.
Chakras are whirling energy centers correlated to acupuncture points. These
energy centers control and energize major organs. When they malfunction, the
vital organs become sick or dis-eased because they can become unbalanced. Lack
of balance occurs when there is not enough (or conversely too much) life energy
or prana.
The
Brow (sometimes called Third Eye) is the sixth of seven chakras. It is located at the middle of your eyebrows. Also known
as Ajna (Sanskrit), it is believed to be linked to the unconscious mind,
awareness, ultimate reality and spiritual communication.
The owl is the animal associated with the brow chakra. Represented by wisdom and intuition, their eyes symbolize the ability to see past illusions and help access self-awareness.
The frequency to
open the brow is 9631Hz. This aids in the activation of the pineal gland which produces melatonin. It is believed that melatonin synchronizes
circadian rhythms in different parts of your body. These rhythms follow a 24-hr
cycle. When this chakra is unbalanced. it could lead to headaches and vision
problems. If blocked, you feel close-minded.
Indigo is the color which supports spiritual clarity and inner wisdom. Wearing and surrounding yourself in indigo helps with Ajna balance.
Foods to support this chakra include lavender, juniper berries, aubergine (eggplant), goji berries, grapes.
Try
essential oils such as clary sage, juniper berry, lavender and
lemon.
A recommended yoga pose is Plow Pose.This
full-body stretch positions your body upside down with your feet over your
head, and offers interesting new perspectives. Practice it before settling into
meditation.
The crystals/gems are Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Labradorite, Sodalite and Azurite.
Affirmations
include: “Seeing and understanding the big picture comes naturally to me.” “My
life moves effortlessly towards my purpose.” “My imagination is vivid and
powerful.”
