Balancing the Third Eye Chakra
Use Indigo Energy to Restore Intuition, Focus and Mental Clarity
Invoke the Goddess Bear Woman and use indigo-energy essential oils and gemstones to restore and enhance the psychic abilities that come with a balanced third eye chakra.
Our chakras are constantly moving in and out of balance. This is very normal but when an imbalance lasts for too long, we may experience physical manifestations of illness. To remedy this, we simply need to set the intention of re-connecting with ourselves.
When our Third Eye chakra is out of balance, we can feel frustrated, uncreative, nervous, have sleep problems and feel energetically zapped inside. We may also experience fear, intolerance, impracticality, judgment, melancholy and focus on the dark sides of situations. It is easy to restore health to this area by using indigo energy.
The Third Eye chakra is located on the forehead between the eyes. It governs the relationship we have with our psychic abilities and intuition. When this chakra is working properly, we feel connected to our senses of insight, vision, change, flexibility, fearlessness and fulfillment of our personal duty.
The Indigo Chakra
The color we associate with the Third Eye chakra is indigo. So what color is indigo? It is a dark blue, but not quite purple. Denim has indigo energy. Indigo energy brings about increased feelings of inner energy, calmness and inner balance. When we live with a balanced Third Eye chakra, we experience overall good health, clear thinking and focus.
Do not use indigo energy if you are feeling depressed or withdrawn.
Indigo Gemstones
The following gemstones are just a few examples of stones that can boost indigo energy for you.
- Flourite, Lapis Lazouli, Sodalite
Essential Oils
The following oils are just a few examples of ones that can boost indigo energy for you.
- Lavender, Jasmine, Patchouli, Frankincense, Violet
Too Much Indigo? Use Orange.
You can have too much indigo energy in you. You’ll know this has happened when you are gossipy, judgmental, fearful and intolerant. If you have found that you are experiencing these uncomfortable feelings, use the color orange to decrease the indigo energy around you. Simply drop an orange gemstone into your pocket (such as tiger’s eye, carnelian or amber), wear orange clothes, eat orange foods (oranges, carrots, apricots and peaches) or use some “orange” essential oils in a diffuser (nutmeg, sandalwood, jasmine, patchouli).
The Goddess Bear Woman
A Goddess we can invoke to help balance our Third Eye chakra is Bear Woman. She is the Native American Goddess who manages Earth energy, fertility, health, instinct, kinship, love, nature, psychic ability and rebirth. Her totem is… (surprise!) bear!
Simple Bear Woman Meditation
Bear Woman’s energy can help you restore inner balance, intuition and psychic ability back into your life. To invoke the powerful and positive characteristics of Bear Woman, gather together several indigo-energy gemstones. Light an indigo candle (to symbolize the indigo energy of the Third Eye chakra) and ask to receive Bear Woman’s energy and abundance. Ask her to enter your Third Eye chakra. When you do this, you may feel a tingling sensation – this is normal and just means you have connected with this chakra. Ask Bear Woman to heal your chakra and help restore balance. Sit in this space for a while and when you feel ready, thank Bear Woman and bring your conscious mind back to the room you are in. Hopefully you will feel restored, energized and in balance after this simple meditation.
