What is the Third Eye chakra and what does it govern?


Hi Everyone, Have you ever wondered what the chakras are and what they do? Well now is your chance to find out with this guide. Please follow for more in-depth information and guidance to increase your knowledge and understanding . Here we focus on the Third Eye Chakra, otherwise known as Ajna. An in depth exploration of the chakras: third eye (Ajna) Location: between the eye brows (6th chakra) Colour: Indigo Related organs/glands: central nervous system, pituitary gland and brain Stones and crystals: sodalite, lapis lazuli, Azurite, amethyst Associated Planets: Jupiter Chakra mantra: Ksham or Om Direction of movement clockwise Corresponding Element: light Life Affirmations: ‘I choose to open up my physic abilities to gain more clarity’ ‘ ‘I always manifest positive change into my life and others’ ‘I choose to only focus on positive thoughts‘ ‘I wish to open my third eye so I can see better the world I inhabit’. Governing attributes: Physic abilities, an increased sense of intuition and insight, and deeply meditative . The Third eye chakra or Ajna as it is known in Sanskrit is the sixth Chakra and is feminine and connected to the throat chakra below. This is the energy centre of insight and intuition, it is where we gain our knowledge of the world from and develop new ideas and get a better understanding of situations so we can see the bigger picture as opposed just what we choose to see at the time. Researchers, scholars and scientists all use their perception to develop new ideas and are perfect examples of those with an active third eye. Some of us may have physic abilities and use out third eye to help us develop our natural intuition so we can learn to interpret our dreams more accurately and understand ourselves better . Signs of a healthy and balanced third eye chakra are those who have a healthy, open and insightful attitude towards life, they are often very intuitive and perhaps even clairvoyant in their abilities and often are guided to discover new information, read or study to constantly self-develop them selves . Signs of a closed or blocked third eye chakra not open to new ideas or perspectives, dismissing anything they do not understand, finds it difficult to concentrate and gets distracted easily. Signs of an overly active or open third eye chakra are: those who are workaholics with demanding jobs and long hours, they are constantly on the go, hence finding it impossible to find the time to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Learning to re balance the third eye chakra: First of all slow down and breathe …now fully concentrate on what is around you and practice mindfulness when you can to improve your focus. Daily meditation will prove to be very beneficial in instilling a sense of calm.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
