This is the sixth article in a series of blog posts exploring the 7 chakras, and the role they play in your overall sense of wellness. This week I will be discussing how the health of your Third Eye Chakra affects and influences your health and well-being.
The chakras are energy centres situated in specific areas of the body. Each chakra plays a particular role in your overall health and well-being. Find out more about what the 7 chakras are and why they matter here and here.

Where is your Third Eye Chakra located?
Your Third Eye is located in the centre of your brow. It also included your eyes, brain, sinuses, and the back of your head.
Why is your Third Eye Chakra important?
The sixth chakra is typically represented by a bright violet colour, or other shades of purple. The health of your Third Eye can have a significant impact on your overall health and well-being. It is the energy centre for your intuition, insight, awareness of the non-physical realm, and compassionate understanding of your physical world.
When your Third Eye is open to receiving information beyond what your five senses provide, judgement and criticism fade away. You are then able to passively notice and observe your physical reality, and tune into the wisdom of the Universe.
A healthy, balanced Third Eye Chakra allows you to make decisions and take timely action with guidance from your Inner Wisdom and Spirit. You can confidently step forward into your future knowing that all will align for you in a way that is best for your mind, body and soul.
Your sixth chakra is the energy centre from which you envision and create your ideal reality. With a healthy, open Third Eye, you understand that life is happening for you, not to you. With this understanding comes inner peace, contentment, grace, and the ability to trust in your intuition.
A scan of a client’s Third Eye Chakra can tell me a great deal about their health and well-being. I can see how receptive my client is to information and guidance from their Higher Self, from Spirit, from the physical and non-physical realms.
If a client’s Third Eye is closed or too open, they may experience unpleasant symptoms such as headaches/migraines, vision changes/difficulties, sinus infections/pain, vertigo/dizziness, brain fog, fatigue.
How can you tell if your Third Eye Chakra is healthy or not?
The simplest way to know if your Third Eye is balanced and healthy is to check in with it in your mind’s eye. I described how to do this for your Root Chakra here – the process is the same for each of the 7 chakras.
There are also signs and symptoms that can help you to know if your Third Eye Chakra is thriving or not:
| Healthy & balanced | In need of attention |
| Make decisions based on internal ‘knowing’ Connected to Spirit/Spirit guides/angels Confidently follow your ‘gut instinct’ ‘Clair’ abilities (eg. clairvoyant) Powerful manifestor Feel at peace, content Experiences with other realms, eg. faeries Trust in Divine timing Compassion for others Clear vision and expanding awareness | Difficulty trusting in your intuition Feeling alone/abandoned Indecisive, feeling confused, lost Impatient or frustrated with progress Uncertain of next best step Foggy feeling in head Feeling agitated, unsettled Unclear thinking, ‘messy’ thoughts Rely heavily on others’ opinions or advice Intolerant of different perspectives |
What can you do to keep your Third Eye Chakra healthy and balanced?
Intuition-building exercises and activities are fantastic for helping your sixth chakra to be healthier and more balanced. There is a plethora of information about these kinds of exercises all over the internet!
The simplest way to build your intuition and develop confidence in your Inner Wisdom is to ask and listen. With an open Third Eye, you can expand your awareness and knowledge, and boost your confidence in your intuition, by accessing not only the wisdom within you, but the great wisdom that exists beyond the physical realm.
Simply sit in silence, breathe deeply, relax your body, and ask the questions you need answered, or be open to any guidance that comes. Start small and simple, eg. “Am I still hungry?” “Do I need more sleep?” “Do I feel like being social today?”
Allow the answer or guidance to come to you with a completely open mind, without judgement. Your intuition or guidance from Spirit will be the very first words, vision, feeling, response to your question. After that, it’s probably your logical/analytical/judgemental brain kicking in!
Follow through is super important. When you receive your answer or guidance, be sure to act accordingly. If the answer to “am I still hungry?” is “no”, then stop eating dinner! If you ask “do I feel like being social today?” and the answer is “not really”, then don’t feel obligated to get dressed up and head out to that party!
Think of your intuition as a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it will become.
