Your Third Eye, also called the Anja, is located on your lower brow between your two physical eyes. This chakra governs your endocrine system, and is represented by the color indigo. A helping mantra to use is “Om” where you emphasize the m sound to open this gateway of consciousness so you can balance your masculine and feminine energies while enhancing your ability to mindfully know, act and feel at deep spiritual levels. Working with your third eye improves your intuition, wisdom and connection.
Signs of a weak third eye
Are you an overly rational person? You may feel uncomfortable exploring your intuitive skills or meditating regularly. Instead, you prefer a more structure environment and social norms. Perhaps you deal with depression and an undeveloped ego. On the other hand, people with excess of Anja energy can experience dramatic mood swings, anxiety, and paranoia. They are so fixated on minute details they are unable to see the broader picture. Creativity is difficult and people can view this individual as arrogant, egotistical, or unrealistic. Physically, individuals with excess Anja energy suffer with sinus, eye, and vision problems as well as unexplained chronic headaches.
Diet to improve Anja balance
It is important to eat mindfully and intuitively so you can be in harmony with your body’s needs at any given moment to optimize the third eye chakras. However, some foods are more advantageous, like indigo or purple foods. Select items like grapes, eggplant, purple Brussel sprouts/kale/sweet potatoes, blueberries, and blackberries. Cacao products contain antioxidants that promote serotonin release, which bolsters blood flow to the brain. Food rich in omega-3 like salmon, walnuts and avocado are also beneficial for brain health. Make sure to drink plenty of water to circulate flow within your body and spirit.
Helpful affirmation: “I honor my inner wisdom. I am intuitive and connected to my inner essence. I am receptive to inspiration and bliss. My life unfolds to welcome abundance of truth and love.”
