Third Eye Chakra

There is a great series of workshops in progress for the chakras. Every 2 weeks, will be an information session on a chakra. Those who are following the entire series will spend the days in between working on that chakra. The series will begin again in January. Here is some information about the Third Eye Chakra.

THIRD EYE CHAKRA
The third eye chakra is located in the brow, between the eyebrows, or just a little above that center point. Other organs associated with this chakra are the eye, base of brain, and face.

This is the chakra of LIGHT and ILLUMINATION. Its colors are shades of indigo (a bluish-purple). The gemstones for this chakra are iolite, azurite, fluorite, lapidolite, and sugulite. The herbs and oils for this chakra are benzoin, geranium, rosemary, mugwort, mint, and mimosa.

This is a chakra of fasting. You can take in fruits like plums that are of the indigo color. Another thing you can ingest, though I do not necessarily recommend it is entheogens.

This chakra is associated with inspiration, meditation, spirituality awareness, perception, psychic abilities, ESP, insight, and intuition. You know you have problems or blocks with your third eye chakra if you have eye troubles, vision problems or headaches and migraines. This chakra is also associated with vision. ILLUSIONS block this chakra, especially the illusion of separation. Look past the illusions around you and understand that everything is connected. Separation is just an illusion.

Some things you can do to meditate and connect with this chakra are eye exercises. Explore methods of divination. Listen to the little voice inside you. TRUST YOURSELF!

This chakra is also about the RIGHT TO SEE. Look beyond the veils and illusions to see the truth and see how everything is connected.

"Not only do we construct our perceptions of the world, but we also go out and construct those perceptions IN the world. We make tables and bicycles and musical instruments becasue we can think of them." (quoted from p. 296 of "Wheels of Life" by Anodea Judith, PhD)

Throat Chakra

There is a great series of workshops in progress for the chakras. Every 2 weeks, will be an information session on a chakra. Those who are following the entire series will spend the days in between working on that chakra. The series will begin again in January. Here is some information about the Throat Chakras.

THROAT CHAKRA
The throat chakra is located in the throat. Other organs associated with this chakra are the ears, nose, mouth, neck, and shoulders.

This is the chakra of SOUND and TRUTH. Its colors are shades of blue. The gemstones for this chakra are blue lace agate, lapis lazuli, sodalite, saphire, blue topaz, aquamarine. The herbs and oils for this chakra are lavendar, mint, and eucalyptus.

If you wish to ingest substances to help connect with this chakra, eat foods that contain honey and citrus to help heal and strengthen the throat. For those who like teas, we recommend mint tea that is lightly sweetened.

This chakra is associated with receptive communication, expression, creativity, responsibility, truth, sound, listening actively, being true to your word and your own true nature. You know you have problems or blocks with your throat chakra if you have ear, nose and throat problems, if you have shoulder and neck pains, if you have a hard time saying what you want or need to say. This chakra is also associated with vibration. LIES block this chakra, especially the lies we tell ourselves. Think about the things you have lost, people who have gone from your life. Accept the truth around you and within you, speak only the truth, accept your own true nature... accept WHO YOU ARE.

Some things you can do to meditate and connect with this chakra are to explore vibrating sounds through your throat till your whole body can feel the vibrations. Listen to tuning forks or classical music. Practice active listening (another link for active listening). Take a one day vow of silence. Keep a daily diary. Try kareoke or other fun games like charades. Get a massage, especially for the neck and shoulders.

This chakra is also about the RIGHT TO SPEAK AND BE HEARD. Say what you mean and mean what you say. You have the right to speak up for yourself and to be heard. This is a chakra where you are working on your communication skills.

Explore your creativity! Write a story, poetry, and song lyrics. Take singing or music lessons. Sing in the shower or in the car! SMILE... ALOT! Did you know that smiling releases endorfens that help improve your mood?

There is a great series of workshops in progress for the chakras. Every 2 weeks, will be an information session on a chakra. Those who are following the entire series will spend the days in between working on that chakra. The series will begin again in January. Here is some information about the HeartChakra:

HEART CHAKRA
The heart chakra is located in chest over the sternum. It focuses on the heart. Other organs associated with this chakra are the lungs, arms and hands, chest and back muscles.

This is the chakra of AIR and LOVE. Its colors are shades of green and pink. The gemstones for this chakra are emerald, aventirine, malachite, jade, green/pink tourmaline, rose quartz, rhodanite, and rhodachrosite. The herbs and oils for this chakra are rose, jasmine, heather, mallow, hibiscuss, mint, and copal.

If you wish to ingest substances to help connect with this chakra, eat foods that are light like green salads. For those who like teas, we recommend white or green teas.

This chakra is associated with receptive energy, love, devotion, compassion, comfort, harmony, and healing. You know you have problems or blocks with your heart chakra if you have breathing difficulties or anxiety, heart troubles, or muscle and back tension. This chakra is also associated with emotion. GRIEF and LOSS block this chakra. Think about the things you have lost, people who have gone from your life. Let that sadness fill you and then BREATHE. Let the pain go with each breathe. Remember those that are currently around you who love you. Cherish that love that is already there. Breathe in the love around you. Let it fill you and bring you calm and comfort.

Some things you can do to meditate and connect with this chakra are to do breathing exercises. Get a good massage from a spa or from someone you love. Hug your friends and family.

This chakra is also about the RIGHT TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. You have the right to do feel love and to feel loved. This is a chakra where you are working on your emotional balance and relationships. A good book to read is Sam Keen's "To Love and Be Loved" (ISBN: 0553375288 cost $20.00).

As an exercise, try keeping a journal of gratitude. What are you thankful for? Who do you appreciate and why? Write specizal notes expressing your appreciateion to people around you, especially those you don't say it much to. Try to a couple of your co-workers, your neighbors, the person who delivers your mail.
