[CHAKRA SERIES] Brow: Inner Wisdom and Self-Mastery [Stage 2: Albedo]

The brow chakra, or third eye, is located at the centre of the forehead between the eyebrows. It is associated with the colour indigo and governs our intuition and ability to visualise.

At the sixth chakra, we learn to open the third eye and keep our connection to intuition consistently active, trusting this higher wisdom over the ego or mind. This is cultivated through meditation and spiritual practice. Over time, the stillness and peace experienced in deep meditation or prayer expand to all areas of life, heightening our sensitivity and awareness beyond ordinary perception.

Deep introspection can be challenging, as it brings us face-to-face with our inner fears and shadows. Many fears are so ingrained in our identity that we may not even recognise them. True freedom comes when we acknowledge and move beyond these fears, transforming them into light and raising our vibrational frequency. Self-mastery arises from the discipline to live by inner wisdom, to observe destructive thoughts and behaviours, and to willingly choose transformation.

In Western society, few people reach the sixth chakra as a permanent stage of consciousness, largely because of the intense focus on the external and material world.

At the brow chakra, the celestial body connects us to elevated feelings of love that encompass not just humanity but all of life. Experiences of pure light and oneness indicate an expansion into the celestial body. To clairvoyant vision, this subtle body appears as a radiant ball of light with silver, gold, and opalescent beams, extending two to three feet from the physical body.
