Third Eye / Brow Chakra

	Indicators of Sixth Chakra Imbalances:  Intellectual arrogance. Being surrounded by either "yes-men" or persons who fear you.  Inability to truly consider anyone's ideas but your own. Over-emphasis on material goods and wealth. Creating great ideas, but can't seem to follow through.  Making promises you can't keep. Friends and family exasperated because you never follow through.  Feeling as if you've never had an original idea.  Blaming others for anything that does not work out to your benefit. In so far as back stabbing friends, and blaming without their knowing. Living too extremes. Only in black and white.  Do you force your religious views on those around you, convinced you're the only one who is right? Or conversely, are you a complete atheist, without any spirituality in your life at all? Putting others down. Pointing out their flaws and snickering or gossiping maliciously. Disconnection from reality or becoming lost in a dream or imaginary world often from substance abuse which is used to artificially obtain the bliss associated with this Chakra. Nightmares, guilt, and sometimes hypersensitivity to psychic stimuli.

Comments:	If you were traumatized between the ages of 21-26, 51-56 or 81-86, you may have an unbalanced Sixth Chakra.  This is the Chakra of extra-sensory perception and it is said that many of us will never fully develop this Chakra and even fewer will be able to develop the 7th Chakra. The Sixth Chakra is about making dreams into reality. It's about visualizing what we want and making it happen. It's about our ability to "see", even to the extent we're given the "sight" or psychic abilities. It's about commanding others and using our power and resources with wisdom and intelligence. Its also about healing others--having thoughts so strong, you can send positive energy to another and bring about emotional and spiritual healing. What signals an imbalance of this Chakra? Well, if you must you be the smartest person in the room, for one? Do you appear to be compassionate--until someone disagrees with you? Then you turn on them with a combination of scorn and put-downs? Are people afraid of you? Do you like it that people kow-tow to you? Do you have an excessive need to control intellectual conversations? Do you take yourself too seriously?  Physical symptoms of an imbalanced Sixth Chakra include problems with the Thyroid gland, ears (hearing included), eyes, sinuses, brow, teeth.
Therapy:	Chakra Therapy would include laying the proper gemstone upon the Sixth Chakra for 5-25 minutes. You may find surrounding yourself with the Scents of the Sixth Chakra helpful. Visualize a Navy Blue Vortex of light in the shape of a flower emanating slightly upward from your Brow. Imagine the wisdom of the world entering the Blue Light--knowledge beyond what can be known, opening to the "Akashic" record or the record of all that is, will be or ever was. Feel a deep respect for all men, young, old, wise and unenlightened alike.
Mantras:	"I am in the brotherhood of man, neither better nor worse than any man I meet." "I respect everyone, including myself." "I forgive as I am forgiven." "I'm O.K. You're O.K."
