Chakras are human energy centers. The colors of the chakras indicate certain vibrations of energy and help to conduct effective processing. In this article I will talk about the chakras by colors and names, give recommendations for meditation and contemplation of each of them.

Red Chakra Muladhara

The root chakra is associated with the color red. This color is considered sharp and saturated, it carries low energy vibrations.

Bright red is associated with sexuality. Dark red - with aggression and fear, with those emotions that interfere with the spiritual development of a person.

Also, the color red has associations with:

• warmth;
• male energy;
• procreation;
• rebirth;
• survival.

This color in different cultures has great importance. So, in India and China, the bride dresses in red, which symbolizes fertility and purity. In Christian culture, color is a symbol of the blood shed by Christ, and as a result, a symbol of love for people.

People whose energy is concentrated in the first chakra think mainly about survival. A person begins to worry that he can be offended, offended. However, he himself can harm others.

In case of a lack of energy, a person does not have enough vitality and will to achieve goals. He has little self-confidence and no sense of security. He often experiences restlessness and anxiety.

In this case, it is especially important to work with the root chakra, in particular the contemplation of red. Read also about other methods on our website.

Meditation on red

Meditation on the red chakra will help transform inertia and negativity into strong, positive energy, enhance love of life and overall contentment.

Find a warm and secluded place. Sit on a chair, straighten your shoulders, breathe calmly. Concentrate on the soles of your feet. Mentally imagine that you are standing on a bright red carpet with a long pile.

Wiggle your big toes. Try to feel the texture and softness of the carpet, the warmth and energy of the red color that it radiates.

Visualize your feet filling with red light which then rises up your legs to the mooladhara chakra. Reflect on the relationship between this chakra and the color red.

Bring your attention to the root chakra. Imagine that pure pulsating red light enters your aura and travels down to the soles of your feet.

Keep doing the exercise for at least 5 minutes. As a result, you will feel that your feet have become warm, you feel good, your body is filled with energy.

orange svadhisthana chakra

The sacral chakra is associated with the color orange. The name of this color comes from the Arabic "naranj", which translates as "fruit".

Orange is associated with:

• sexuality, but softer than red;
• joy;
• happiness.

This color helps to overcome depression and depression, it dissipates heaviness and opens the body for natural, free movements. This color invigorates and improves mood. To achieve this effect, you can, for example, wear orange clothes or admire orange objects.

meditation on orange color

Take a comfortable position with a straight back, relax. Imagine in your mind how you are sitting on the edge of a cliff by the sea. Love the sunset.

Listen to the sounds of the sea surf, feel its rhythm. Adjust your breathing to this rhythm. Breathe in as the waves come in and breathe out as they recede.

Look at the sun, it sinks below the horizon, acquiring a bright orange hue. This color spreads across the darkening sky and is reflected in the reflections in the water.

As you inhale, visualize orange arrows penetrating your swadhisthana chakra, rotating clockwise around its center, revitalizing and clearing the chakra.

As you exhale, discard all the negative energy indicated by the orange rays. Think about where it came from and how you can fix it. Perhaps the negative is caused by memories from the past. Allow the rays of orange light to dispel all negative energy.

Look at the horizon again. Night twilight descended on the sky, the space was plunged into silence and peace.

yellow manipura chakra

The solar plexus chakra is associated with the color yellow. It is the color of the sun and inspiration, which:

• responsible for the intellect and mind;
• has a stimulating effect on a person;
• favorably affects the skin;
• strengthens the nerves.

According to the laws of physics, any yellow products absorb all the colors of the spectrum, except for yellow. And what objects absorb yellow, are saturated with it? These are purple products. It is desirable to use them to strengthen the solar plexus chakra. By the way, I already wrote about.

By the way, if you are working with the 3 lower chakras, then you should choose foods that are blue, light blue and purple. And when working with the 3 upper chakras - red, yellow and orange.

meditation on yellow

Find a picture of a bright, large sunflower in advance. Sit comfortably, take a pose for meditation. Look at the photo of a flower, study the shape and color of its petals, stamens.

Closing your eyes, try to restore the picture in front of your inner gaze. Let the flower be in your solar plexus area. Its petals will be the petals of the manipura chakra.

Move your attention to the black core of the sunflower. Think of the warmth, the fire that comes from digestion and helps you maintain your body temperature.

The yellow chakra is our emotional center. To balance it, you need to learn how to manage your emotions. In addition, in order to advance along the path of spiritual development, one must overcome one's fears.

Think about the fact that a person is a small part of the existing reality. In our minds, we can realize only a small part of the overall picture of the world.

But by sharing our knowledge with others, we expand our own consciousness and help others in this.

Finally, move your gaze from the center to the yellow sunflower petals. At the moment of inhalation, direct pure yellow light into the third chakra. Continue until it is saturated with a bright yellow color.

Green chakra anahata

The heart chakra is associated with green, which is located in the middle of the spectrum (in the middle of the rainbow). Therefore, it is the color of harmony and balance. Also, green:

• balances negative and positive energies;
• soothes the mind, body and spirit, bringing them to balance;
• evokes a feeling of peace and relaxation;
• gives the ability to love and be loved.

The green chakra is associated with love, not physical, but unconditional. When in order to love, no conditions are needed. When a person is able to accept others with all their advantages and disadvantages.

If you notice in yourself a tendency to judge or condemn other people, then you are probably not paying enough attention to yourself. Understanding our own shortcomings gives us the strength to understand and accept the shortcomings of others.

Meditation on green

Take any posture for meditation, relax. Perform several cycles of rhythmic breathing to the count of 5.

Then bring your attention to the fourth chakra. Imagine it in the form of a pale pink lotus flower on green leaves.

Watch the pink rays from the lotus petals surround you, setting the mood pure love. Look around the flower, it is surrounded by green rays of light reflected from the leaves.

Follow the green path just below the heart chakra. Directly below it is another, smaller energy center that emits a pale green light. It symbolizes the tree of life, and its altar is adorned with precious stones. On the altar you will see the fire of life.

Look at the tree of life. Its roots spread over the earth, and its branches stretch towards the light and the sun. In a similar way, a person must combine earthly and spiritual life in himself. In this case, he will find harmony with the outside world.

The branches of the tree symbolize the various trials that must be overcome on the spiritual path. Then look at the fire of life burning on the altar. Its flames tremble, and air currents help to burn more strongly.

Meditate on your own inner fire. How to make it stronger, brighter and more persistent so that your fire does not go out at the first difficulties?

After that, visualize the fire becoming brighter.

blue vishuddha chakra

The throat chakra is associated with the color blue. It is the color of peace and quiet, spiritual devotion and inspiration. It is believed that it creates space, therefore everything reflected in it seems larger than it actually is.

Blue color meaning:

• causes relaxation, therefore it is recommended for heavy loads - both physical and emotional, including stress;
• encourages creative self-expression and reminds of the spiritual path;
• long-term observation can cause a depressive state.

meditation on blue color

So, lie down on the ground or on the grass, you can also lie down on a bench. The chosen place should be closed from direct rays of the sun. Look up at the endless blue sky. Do you think space is infinite or does it have an edge? Consider that we are surrounded by numerous galaxies, but we know almost nothing about them.

Man and even the whole planet are negligibly small on the scale of the Cosmos, like drops in the ocean. However, the ocean is made up of drops. Without them, there would be no ocean. Moreover, each of the drops is unique in its own way.

So every person is special. Each of us has our own mission or role in the universal cosmic plan.

Now direct your attention to the sun, but do not look directly at it (this is dangerous for the eyes). Think about how important its role is in the life of our planet and each person in particular. It warms us and illuminates the Earth. Without the sun, we would be left in complete darkness.

Look at the sunbeam coming from the sun and going into the endless distance. Imagine that you are moving along the beam, moving further and further into space. Heavenly blue light envelops you in a protective veil of peace and tranquility.

Mentally look back, look at the planets and stars. Listen to the sounds coming from them. Their joint sound merges into a single beautiful melody. Feel how these sounds resonate with your body, with every muscle and every organ.

Find the sound that resonates with the blue chakra. Feel its vibrations all over your body, they spread through the neck, shoulders, and also down the arms.

Now you are experiencing a sense of inner peace and listening to the music of the planetary spheres, all this allows your body to restore its original integrity. Now it is easier for you to follow the path of spiritual development, nothing hinders you.

When you feel ready, find a beam of golden sunlight and head back to Earth with it. When you return, feel your body. Think about what has changed in you?

blue ajna chakra

The brow chakra is associated with the color blue, or more specifically, the color indigo. This is what the sky looks like during the coming twilight. The French call this moment l'heurebleu, which means "romantic hours", when lovers pay visits to each other.

In ancient times, before artificial dyes were created, the blue color was obtained from a plant called "indigo". This color indicates:

• dignity and devotion;
• intuition and clairvoyance;

It immerses a person in an ocean of calm and silence, cures insomnia and helps relieve pain and muscle tension. Take a look at the material about.

Meditation on Indigo

Sit in a suitable posture for meditation. Imagine evening time, twilight. The sun hides behind the horizon. Night descends on the whole world, enveloping it in dark blue.

Birds get ready for sleep on the branches of trees, they remember the past day. Pets are also going to sleep. And only nocturnal animals and birds do not sleep, they are going to look for their own food. The flowers close at night to retain the warmth of the sunlight.

You are in silence and stillness. Think about your life, what joys and what failures have befallen you?

Take it as a life experience that will help you in the future. Discard everything that is alien to you, that imposes the environment or stereotypes.

Man can be likened to a garden. In the garden, we sow seeds to see shoots and grow plants. In the same way, the seeds of wisdom sown in the soil of the mind will surely sprout. The experience and knowledge gained in life are necessary for understanding ourselves and the laws of life.

If you meditate before going to bed, then let the dark blue veil of the night envelop you in the haze of sleep. You fall into the night, into a deep and renewing sleep. Wake up in the morning full of energy and strength.

If you are doing the exercise during the day, visualize how the dark blue cover dissolves your fatigue, gives a feeling of calm and equanimity, gives peace to the mind, improves health, gives rise to a sense of well-being.

Violet Sahasrara Chakra

The crown chakra is associated with the color purple. It is sometimes confused with magenta, as both are mixtures of blue and red. However, purple has more of a blue tint.

Violet has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy level of the colors in the rainbow. After it begins the ultraviolet region.

Natural purple we can see in the violet flower. Its oil is perfect for scented candles and perfumes.

Purple has associations with:

• spiritual consciousness;
• religious devotion and humility;
• chastity, modesty and other virtues.

The violet chakra sahasrara is the last door that a person passes through, striving to merge with the Divine essence.

Violet Meditation

For meditation, you need an amethyst stone. If it is not possible to use it, then print a photo of this mineral from the Internet.

In translation, the Greek word "amethistos" means "without intoxication." It is believed that wearing a stone can prevent intoxication after drinking alcohol.

Amethyst of light shades is used for spiritual and mystical insights. A stone of dark shades affects the energy, it is used to raise the kundalini.

The symbolism of amethyst contains important meanings of inspiration and humility; it seems to reflect Divine love.

Sit in a pose for meditation, place an amethyst or its photo near you. Look at the shape of the stone, the variety of its shades.

Each of the stones is unique. Think about the qualities that amethyst symbolizes: humility, love, inspiration.

Think back to the moment you made the decision to follow the spiritual path. Perhaps you were inspired by one of your friends. Or you read a book. Or maybe you felt this desire within yourself and you wanted to do self-exploration.

On the path of spiritual development, obstacles and barriers await you. To overcome them, you need strength and self-confidence. But in addition, you will need humility, without which it will not be possible to achieve the state of Divine love. Think about what qualities you need to develop.

Now mentally look at the sahasrara chakra. It emits a gentle purple light. This light envelops you. He will dissolve any pain and trouble, filling the vacated space inside you with spiritual love.

Feel what emotions hinder you on your spiritual path, fetter you. Let the violet light of the chakra take them to a higher level.

Summing up, we can say that the colors of the human chakras are symbolic. Each of them corresponds to its own color, which changes according to the colors of the rainbow.

Sahasrara is the seventh chakra of the human subtle body. It is located on the crown of the head, near the crown of the head and glows purple. The symbolism of the chakra is a lotus with a thousand petals pointing upwards. The stem of this flower descends down the central canal.

The violet chakra is a boundless repository of knowledge, it is the center of human perfection, it is his connection with the Creator. It unites the energies of all. Sahasrara is the place that is called home, our life path begins here and we return to it at the end of our development. Our own energy field is connected to the Divine energy field through the seventh chakra. Thanks to the violet chakra, our understanding of the world becomes perfect, and we merge with the entire universe. We understand that the physical body is just our incarnation in the material world, and we ourselves are nothing but a part of the Divine consciousness.

Harmonious Violet Chakra - Sahasrara

With the opening of the crown chakra, all blocks that exist in others are removed and transferred to higher frequencies. A fully opened violet chakra ceases to receive cosmic energies, it itself becomes their source. Human consciousness at this level becomes quiet, deep and unrestricted. A person feels as if he has awakened from a dream and now lives in reality. His entire body is filled to the brim with Divine energy.

When the violet chakra is balanced, a person understands that all his thoughts and actions express the intention of the Creator. Radiating Divine light, he is able to open the hearts of all earthly beings. A person can find answers to all questions. Because everything that exists in the world exists in it - the Divine Being, with which it is one. He also realizes that gross matter is a thought form of the Divine Consciousness, and that the dense reality surrounding him is just an illusion.

Disharmonious work of the violet chakra - Sahasrara

The crown chakra cannot be completely closed. It is only more or less open. If the violet chakra is excessively closed, then the person separates himself from the world. He does not feel at one with him. Also, a person has a feeling of fear, which blocks the work of the lower chakras. As a result, he cannot adequately reveal his abilities and realize opportunities. A person cannot live in harmony with himself and the world around him, he does not feel confident in himself and in his future.

The lack of violet in the chakra, or the admixture of black in it, causes problems in the energy body. In order to clear violet chakra it is necessary to unwind the ball counterclockwise in its center. Like a black hole, it will absorb negative energy, transforming the chakra light and filling the body with pure violet energy.

HOLOGRAPHIC COLOR THERAPY. SIXTH CHAKRA.

The sixth chakra is Ajna. Color - blue.

Blue color provides us with the ability to see, have a good memory, think logically, and find a solution in any situation. The lack of blue, or the admixture of black in it, can cause brain tumors, neurological disorders, and blindness.

To cleanse the chakra, spin a black ball in its center, which rotates counterclockwise, and, like a black hole, absorbs and concentrates the chaotic energy scattered in space and in the body. Due to rotation, it converts it into light of the desired wavelength, filling the body with pure blue energy.

The third eye chakra is located between the eyes, just above the eye line. Its stem descends along the back of the head. Translated from Sanskrit, the name of the chakra Ajna is translated as the center of control.

The sixth chakra is responsible for conscious perception. She governs various mental faculties, memory, will power and knowledge. It is this chakra that allows a person to connect to the subconscious, intuition, gives the ability to understand the universe and receive non-verbal messages. It is responsible for the balance between the two hemispheres of the brain, right and left, that is, for the balance of intuition, emotions and mysticism, reason and logic. She is responsible for the physical harmony of a person, for his ability to concentrate, peace of mind and wisdom.

The third chakra evokes the desire to find wholeness, inspired by the perfect harmony of the universe. When the third eye chakra is closed, people do not realize that this is possible. They live in constant struggle, make compromises, giving up their interests - and consider the existing reality as the only one that is obvious and cannot be changed except by applying physical force and the force of practical action to it. When the chakra is opened, a person finds that he wants to feel harmony with the universe, and above all - with himself.

The opening of the chakra raises many questions. The desire to improve oneself, the desire to believe in what a person does, and in the feeling that he lives not only for himself. Higher forces work in the universe, thanks to the soul, a person is a particle of these forces. The awakening of soul awareness prompts a person to seek his purpose in life, and he often feels that the so-called ordinary life - the accumulation of wealth, secure financial security, work, position, and so on ceases to satisfy him.

Sometimes, as a result of such an awakening, a certain crisis arises, similar to what a person experiences when his throat chakra opens and balances, when he realizes that he is not really expressing himself and his individuality as a whole. However, this crisis is one of the signs of recovery, it leads to a new understanding, to an openness that allows you to pay more attention to what is happening, as well as to a significant development of awareness at all levels. The search for harmony, which begins when the third eye chakra is open and in a balanced state, indicates a desire to achieve harmony in the body, thought, feelings, soul and spirit.

The third eye chakra brings inspiration to us. The opening of the root chakra helps us to see our basic and material needs at the physical levels of the universe, to create our own material world, which provides us with security and vitality. The opening of the sex chakra allows us to express our creative abilities as a result of self-knowledge, adventure, curiosity and understanding of change. The opening of the solar plexus chakra gives us the opportunity to recognize our inner personal power, arouses in us the desire to create. And the heart and throat chakras require us to express ourselves and switch it to a creative plane. The same creative pathways that man seeks to direct his physical, emotional, and spiritual energies exist in the universe in a variety of forms. Movement, color, sound, form and everything connected with them are part of the physical, as well as the energy and spiritual world.

The third eye chakra stimulates inspiration. As a result, creation from nothing is realized - the creation of new worlds, ingenuity, the expression of higher ideas and their presentation in forms that are accessible to other people to a certain extent, as well as the ability to receive messages from other worlds and other times - the future or the past - from distant places. , which have never been accessible to the physical vision of the creator. The more the third eye chakra is opened and balanced, the easier it is to enter the state of inspiration, which is known to many creative people as a state in which time stops, ideas come to mind by themselves.

As mentioned earlier, in Sanskrit, the name of the third eye chakra means the control center. On the physical level, this chakra is the control center for the activity of the central nervous system. It is responsible for the correct functioning of this system, which activates all our abilities to perceive both the work of the brain and the senses. In addition, opening and balancing this chakra allows us to manage our lives, this becomes possible after we understand the laws of the universe.

As a result of the opening of the chakra, we clearly see how we create our reality, how we physically live the perception of our so-called brain world. Many people feel they are in control of their lives, but this is often not the case. The real commanders are the emotions or thoughts that have emerged during this life as a result of a variety of life experiences and circumstances. When the chakra is open, a person is able to recognize when they are being controlled by their emotions or harmful thoughts, as well as social norms, various acquired habits, and so on.

As a result of the ability to recognize, a person can weed out what is alien in the full sense of the word - what does not belong completely and unconditionally to his soul. In the same way, he can begin to recognize what is his: his true purpose, what he truly believes in, the laws of the universe according to which the world exists (like our life in its essence, whether we like it or not). ). This ability to understand is very important, because it allows a person not only to build life as he wants, but also to live it in accordance with the will of the universe, which becomes his own will.

On a spiritual level, this chakra is responsible for our ability to extrasensory perception, as well as the ability to use extrasensory feelings. Just as the physical body has energy counterparts, the physical senses have parallel, more subtle senses.

All knowledge is in the universe. The ability to perceive knowledge depends on the capabilities of the person himself, on his ability to connect to these sources of knowledge through the third eye.

The vast knowledge that exists in the universe, whether visible, audible, or tactile, manifests itself through sound, touch, and smell. We perceive these sensations through our physical senses. However, each of these sensations exists in a more subtle form, which is not limited by space and time. The highest spiritual function of the third eye chakra is the ability to connect to these sensations and activate them, and as a result, receive extensive, important knowledge, no matter where we are, what time we live, what is the physical state of our senses.

The ability of extrasensory vision (clairvoyance) manifests itself in different ways. It can manifest itself in dreams and meditations and helps us see what is happening in another place or time, including past lives or the future. Sometimes this ability manifests itself when someone close to us needs help or is in danger. In cases where this ability is more developed, a person can use it in a state of wakefulness or meditation, or it manifests itself in the form of flashes during which he sees something. Additional levels of this ability include the ability to see various entities and auras, look inside objects or bodies.

Extrasensory hearing (clairaudience) allows us to separate certain frequencies from among the infinite number of sound frequencies that exist in the universe. This can manifest itself in the ability to hear those who are close and dear to us, with whom we are connected by a direct, strong and consciously established energy connection, or even the ability to hear Divine sounds and receive messages from other worlds or from spiritual beings. When physical auditory abilities are continually improved, this results in the ability to hear and perceive more words than have been said.

Sometimes this understanding becomes so acute that the listener is able to determine the physical, emotional or spiritual state only from the speaker's voice. In addition, the clairaudiarian is able to catch what is not physically spoken, but exists in thoughts, is said to himself, because this is actually the energy of speech before it manifests itself in a concrete form.

Our tactile faculty - touch - is a sense that can be developed to high degrees. If the third eye chakra performs a spiritual function on its thin layer, this allows a person to feel different energies. This ability is used by many touch healers. Through the sense of touch, by touching the body of another person, we can determine where physical obstacles are, where muscles are tense, feel cold and hot areas, and so on. When the sense of touch is sharpened, it allows us to touch the energy that comes from various organs. Using this ability, one can feel subtle bodies and determine their state, as well as see and diagnose the fields of the aura of people and objects.

The sense of smell allows us to pick up various smells, which are signs or symbols. The sense of smell, connected with the limbic system of the brain, the system of focusing our emotions, is far from being limited to just distinguishing smells. We can catch some smell, and memories or feelings will immediately flood over us. This is because the smell stimulates the limbic system and brings up memories of events associated with a particular smell. In a subtle, spiritual sense, the sense of smell allows us to smell things that do not physically exist. These smells are sometimes messages or symbols from the higher worlds.

The more open and balanced the third eye chakra is, the more freely and widely our senses are able to perceive events that are not visible to our physical vision. The ability to perceive telepathic messages at different levels is one of the functions of the third eye chakra. Telepathy allows us to connect to a certain frequency, absorb it and process it in consciousness. The greater the awareness of the frequency, the clearer the nature of that sometimes faint feeling that a person experiences when another being (person or other entity) tries to come into contact with him. As the ability develops, it becomes possible to transmit a response to received messages.

The ability to perceive exists due to all the physical senses, as well as the ability of a person to interpret what is happening through information received from the senses. On a spiritual level, this ability allows us to perceive consciously what we have not perceived. Through this ability, all spiritual senses come together to create a perfect picture of events. This can be illustrated by the example of a dream. In some dreams, a person feels that he is experiencing events in reality. He sees a certain sight, hears the voices (or thoughts) of the speakers, sometimes experiences tactile sensations and, to a certain extent, feels emotional involvement in what is happening.

The spiritual ability of perception allows us to perceive the state of another person by holding an object that belongs to him in our hand, watching him or talking to him, or due to the state of meditation. It allows us to relive events from other lives, events that happened before we were born, as well as events that happened to us in the past. The last type of perception is familiar to almost everyone. We can relive a past event, almost as strongly, just by remembering it.

Thus, psychic abilities - such as telepathy, astral travel, psychokinesis, prophecy, prediction of the future, and so on - depend on the state of the third eye chakra. The purer the channel of perception and transmission of messages in a person, the brighter these abilities are manifested in him. Although in fact some of these talents are given to people at different levels, everyone can develop their spiritual senses to a certain extent, as well as the spiritual gifts that they have received.

The state of balance of the third eye chakra, even if it is not fully opened, is expressed in good intellectual, mental and philosophical abilities, in the ability to engage in research and inventive activities, in clarity of thought, in high morality, in good social connections, and also in the ability to easily establish connections with people. One of the most objective characteristics of chakra balance is intuitive abilities in all their manifestations. A balanced and open chakra (even partially) gives a person:

Good ability of imagination and mental representation;

The ability to understand not only what is rational, logical and mental, but also intuitive;

The ability to understand the embodiment of matter in the universe as the physical embodiment of the spiritual world;

Idealistic way of thinking;

Free creative imagination;

Flexibility of thought;

The ability to look at things from different points of view;

The ability to understand how our thoughts, perceptions and imaginations exist and come to life through understanding the power of thought and imagination.

As the third eye chakra gradually opens up, infinite possibilities of perception open up for a person. Things are perceived in a completely different way than the usual "rational" perception, as a result of the ability to see more, deeper and beyond what is happening.

Various intuitive faculties, along with the opening of subtle feelings, increase, and a person is able to receive intuitive messages at will, which allow him to connect to various levels of awareness. The physical world is perceived as one of many existing worlds. The understanding that there are many different forms of life becomes clear and natural, to the extent that at different levels of awareness, a person is given the opportunity to establish contacts with these life forms and entities. The ability to feel, see, contact and direct energies becomes more pronounced and natural. A person can clearly see the physical embodiment of his actions, emotions and thoughts, and as a result of deep understanding, he can bring these levels into line with the actions of the universe.

The ability to understand and even see past lives increases, a person opens up to receive information from the universe, from the superego, from his soul and from his spirit. This can happen while he is sleeping, dreaming or meditating, and even when he is awake. Life experience is perceived as lessons, as visions, as a “learning aid” and does not cause a feeling of rejection, rather, it is accompanied by the joy of knowledge and the ability to learn the lessons of the universe, which leads to the continuation of spiritual development.

When the third eye chakra is out of balance, a person can perceive life through intelligence, rationality, and logic. He feels the need for order and logic in everything he does, and what does not meet these criteria may seem completely impossible to him. He needs clear, logical evidence. He must look at them with his own eyes or touch them with his own hands in order to "digest" them, understand and grasp them. In cases of serious imbalance, feelings, and not just intuition, may seem “illogical” to a person. Sometimes such a state leads to an extremely limited, clear and distinct perception of the world - everything that does not correspond to such a perception of the world is simply declared meaningless. Everything related to spirituality can be labeled as "illogical" or "unscientific".

The state of imbalance of the third eye chakra can also manifest itself in the ability to understand spiritual truths in general, but only superficially. This state may be accompanied by a desire to use the power of thought to influence events or people, to satisfy one's own desires, to arouse awe or admiration, or to satisfy any other selfish interests.

Disharmony in the third eye chakra is accompanied by disharmony in the solar plexus chakra, which encourages a person to strive to control and manipulate people and situations, and a serious deficiency in the work of the heart chakra. Among people suffering from this imbalance of the third eye chakra, there are charlatans who use their abilities to satisfy their own selfish desires. A person whose third eye chakra is properly opened never uses his intellectual and spiritual abilities for any kind of manipulation. This is because the balanced state of the third eye chakra leads to a deep awareness of the laws of the universe, which does not tolerate this type of manipulation under any circumstances. It also leads to a clear understanding of the danger (both to oneself and to the universe) rooted in the abuse of thought power or intuitive abilities.

Sometimes a situation may arise in which the third eye chakra is partially open, but unbalanced, while the rest of the chakras, especially the lower ones, are in a state of imbalance. This can lead to a general imbalance, "wandering in the clouds", detachment from reality and an inability to understand the messages received by intuition. A situation may also develop in which a person cannot distinguish between genuine messages and visions that are a figment of his imagination. He is able to create all sorts of pictures in his imagination, perceive them as reality and lose touch with reality.

More often, there are cases when the imbalance in the third eye chakra causes a lack of confidence in the universe and a lack of understanding of the meaning of what is happening. This lack of confidence can manifest itself in various anxieties, worries, fear of the future, indecision, excitement, constant tension and cynicism.

The third eye chakra is associated with the activity of the central nervous system and all the activities of the brain. It affects the face, eyes, ears and sinuses.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. When the chakra is open and balanced, we can observe the person sitting in front of us with the help of our eyes and receive detailed information about him. The more spiritual awareness and openness to accepting non-verbal messages, the more detailed the feeling that arises when looking into a person’s eyes. We can look into his thoughts and even into his soul.

Eyes reflect how we see the world. Our "world view" may be determined by our current life - our childhood, life experiences, our personality and external instructions, the existing norms in the environment where we live, and so on. To the same extent, and often as a result of a direct connection, a person is influenced by our past lives, because our soul gave preference to these lives in order to explain our previous worldviews, which were sometimes untenable and interfering.

In strengthening and developing spiritual awareness, we learn to pay attention to the fact that our view of the world, the way we choose to look at things, is actually our personal interpretation of them, which is rarely objective and rarely "true" with space point of view. As a result of subjective perception, we attribute different meanings to the pictures that appear before our eyes, which sometimes leads to a critical attitude and a desire to make an assessment. We can observe the world benevolently or biasedly. How we choose to look at it is a matter of our choice and ultimately reflects how we perceive ourselves.

The way we look at things, perceiving both their appearance and their inner essence, has a direct impact on the reality in which we live. Since people tend to attach meaning to everything they see or try to explain it, we create our own self-images. These ideas are formed into stereotypes that are projected onto the universe and subsequently embodied in our world. For this reason, our worldview is what makes our lives real in this world.

In the present, we are able to create our future only through observation and interpretation. The more we learn how to see things as they really are - without the need for personal interpretation, without creating different stereotypes, without creating definitions - the more we open ourselves to accepting the world as it really is. By accepting the world as it is, we come to accept ourselves and create a situation in which the world accepts us as we are.

When a person looks at the world unkindly, with envy, sees everything in a gloomy light, or divides everything only into white and black, then he may have problems with physical vision. Looking into the eyes of a person, you can find out how he looks at the world - critically, cautiously, spitefully or with interest, love, surprise and curiosity.

The better the third eye chakra is balanced and more open (the same applies to the other chakras), the more balanced and open the view of the world will be, which will give a person the opportunity to fill life with happiness, harmony and love. The state of the "third eye" chakra affects the ability to see what is hidden from the ordinary eye. This can manifest itself in many ways, from the ability to see small things in vivid visions and hallucinations (in dreams, meditations or dreams), to seeing auras and energy channels and an infinite number of other aspects of extrasensory vision.

Our ears reflect how we listen to the world. When it comes to the activity of the “third eye” chakra, it is important to think of hearing not only as the mere ability to detect sounds being made or spoken, but also as the ability to receive messages from the cosmos, on the one hand, and messages that are sent by the “I”, on the other. Often in cases where for some reason such hearing is absent, this can manifest itself in various hearing disorders and ear diseases - often of a psychosomatic nature.

Our face is a "visiting card" that we present to the world. When we look at a person's face, we can get a lot of information about his temperament, because it is reflected on the face: wrinkles at the corners of the eyes formed from laughter, lowered corners of the lips - the result of anxiety or longing, eyebrows flared - a sign of determination, and so on.

The facial expressions that are characteristic of us, which we constantly adopt, are “radiated” from the surface inward and imprinted in the memory of skin cells. This is how a kind of "calling card" is created. Our face invites people to approach us or drives them away, it attracts or repels, it is welcoming and open or impenetrable. Since the face is our "repository" of expressions, it is written on how we perceive the world and ourselves.

Problems with the face can occur for various reasons and can be of a different nature, from acne to facial paralysis. However, there is always a thread that connects various problems, it indicates the need to present to the world that which is not in agreement with the inner self, on one level or another. The expression “putting on a smile” actually means “to show the world something that you really are not at the moment”, that is, it is about putting on a mask. Using the face to show that one is not the real self causes many problems on all levels - physical, mental and spiritual. One of the first feelings that appear after opening the “third eye” chakra is the feeling that there is no danger or shame to be yourself, to imagine yourself as you really are.

The “third eye” chakra is responsible for the brain and for the central nervous system. Our brain is our personal command post, the console through which all messages pass. But it is we who bring our brain to work and control it, and not vice versa. All our thought patterns are in the brain and obey us, whether we are aware of it or not. The brain contains a vast memory bank, a colossal data bank and information that helps us in any business. The more the third eye chakra is open and balanced, the better we can use the wonderful functions of the brain. We turn on and compose programs for a wonderful supercomputer.

Today's thought becomes tomorrow's future. At any given moment, we create and shape many things through the power of thought alone. To understand this means to equip ourselves with a wonderful tool for development at all our levels.

One of the results of the work on opening and balancing the “third eye” chakra is the recognition of this power, the understanding of the limitless possibilities of its application. Since this chakra is the control center of the spirit, its functions are similar to the human brain. The enormous potential created by its development represents the same colossal and endless possibilities that make our brain so unique.

When the chakra is unopened (and perhaps even blocked), one of the first clear signs of this is a narrowed outlook: difficulties in accepting truths, learning experience, recognizing opportunities that obviously contradict the learned ideas, which acts as an obstacle to the development of personal capabilities. The more open our mental abilities are, the more the mind is prepared to perceive the world as it is, not limited to “known” and “usual” in accordance with various normative or stereotypes of thinking, the greater the ability to perceive the best from the world and be open to an endless abundance of wonderful experiences and impressions, and this ability is being put into practice.

An imbalance in the third eye chakra is often expressed as a headache, which reflects an imbalance in receiving messages, both internal and external. Sometimes it reflects a lack of self-confidence, fear or self-criticism. When the chakra makes us recognize that we are all endowed with a soul, and the body and clothes are only its shell in this incarnation, and our life here is just a point on an infinite axis of time, a critical attitude towards ourselves gradually disappears, and fear gives way to love and confidence in the world.

Problems associated with the imbalance of this chakra can sometimes be the cause of nightmares and various nervous diseases. Problems with the pituitary gland, the gland associated with the third eye chakra, often arise from feeling unable to control one's thoughts, body, brain, or life. The ideal situation, corresponding to the openness of this chakra, is manifested in the absence of the need for such "management" of life, since we understand that we are the masters of our life, thoughts and body. When we understand this, the need to control disappears and is replaced by a pleasant flow through the life we ​​create.

The third eye chakra is associated with two glands: the pineal gland and the pituitary gland.

Very little is known about the pineal gland. It is located at the point of intersection of imaginary lines: horizontal, drawn above the ears, and vertical, going to the crown. This is a small gland, shaped like a pine cone. To date, it has not been established whether it is part of the endocrine system or not. It produces a hormone-like substance called melatonin, which activates the cycles of nesting, migration and reproductive instincts in animals. In humans, the pineal gland is responsible for the internal sense of the rhythm of day and night, which affects our hormonal status and our mood. She is also responsible for many other functions. When there is a failure in observing such a cycle, a feeling of extreme fatigue, depression, and so on can appear.

The second gland associated with the third eye chakra is the pituitary gland. It is located in front of the pineal gland and acts as a control center that regulates many different functions. The pituitary gland weighs about half a gram and is located in a recess in one of the bones of the lower base of the skull. The gland consists of a body and a process. This process connects the pituitary to the hypothalamus. The gland consists of two parts: the anterior, which contains cells that produce various hormones, and the posterior, which serves as a reservoir and place from where the hormones produced by the hypothalamus and moved to the back of the pituitary gland enter the bloodstream. The pituitary gland is indirectly connected to the limbic system (the emotional center of the brain) through the production of hormones that affect behavior and emotional balance.

Hormones produced by the pituitary gland are responsible for various activities as well as the flow of additional hormones. The pituitary gland produces two types of hormones.

Tropical hormones are produced in one endocrine gland and activate another endocrine gland.

Somatic hormones are produced by the endocrine glands and have a direct effect on the cells of the body.

The pituitary gland can be called a factory for the production of hormones, both tropical and somatic. Together, these hormones activate the endocrine system of the body.

The hormones that are produced by the pituitary gland determine all levels of physical and emotional existence. The back of the pituitary gland releases two hormones into the blood, which are produced in the hypothalamus: the first hormone affects the kidneys and regulates the amount of water excreted in the urine. A small amount of this hormone is produced after drinking a lot of water, so the amount of water excreted in the urine increases and the body gets rid of excess fluid. A large number of the hormone is produced in cases of dehydration, and therefore the amount of water excreted in the urine is reduced to prevent fluid loss. This is essential for the proper functioning of the body.

The second hormone is produced in two cases: before and after childbirth. Before childbirth, it is produced in large quantities and causes powerful contractions of the muscles of the uterus, as well as the opening of the cervix - in other words, labor pains. After childbirth, it is produced to stimulate milk production during breastfeeding (the role of the hormone in the body of men has not been established).

The anterior pituitary gland contains cells that produce various hormones. The secretion of all these hormones from this part is regulated by hormones coming from the hypothalamus.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (tropical) regulates the secretion of thyroid hormone.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (tropical) is sent to the ovaries and regulates the development of the egg, the process of follicle formation, and also stimulates the secretion of estrogen in women. In men, it initiates the production of sperm in the testicles.

Luteinizing hormone (tropical) stimulates the production of sex hormones in both men and women.

In men, it regulates the production of sex hormones in the testicles, and in women, it reaches the ovary and causes it to: produce progesterone, causes ovulation, and maintains the pregnancy for the first three weeks.

Growth hormone is produced throughout life, but its level rises sharply during the period of intensive growth (11-17 years), and it also plays an important role in the process of bone growth in children. The lack of this hormone during the growth period causes dwarfism. An excess of growth hormone caused by the growth of the pituitary gland, which produces it during a period of intensive growth, leads to gigantism (a very rare disease that ends in death at a relatively young age due to heart failure). It was found that the pituitary gland produces this hormone mainly at night, during sleep.

As you can see, there is no such area of ​​life that would not be influenced by the pituitary gland - and in the same way, there is no such area of ​​life that would not be influenced by the third eye chakra. If it is not open, the spiritual life (and therefore the physical life, which requires hormonal commands from the pituitary gland) will be defective. Just as the pituitary gland controls all other hormonal glands, so the third eye chakra has the strongest influence on all other chakras. When the third eye chakra is open (even if only partially, even if it is not completely balanced) and the rest of the chakras are in a state of imbalance or closed, there is an all-consuming desire to balance the rest of the chakras. Moreover, a person gets the opportunity to recognize the state of imbalance of his chakras, as well as use the tools to harmonize them.

Chakras are energy centers that look like funnels in front and behind a person. In front - energy enters (future), behind - exits (past). When these funnels are connected, that is, the future is connected with the past (this is what a person does unconsciously when he constantly thinks about the past) and all his future is connected with the past and the person is loaded and loaded, depression and even death can reach. You can't do that, you need to leave the past in the past. As you can see, the beginning of the knowledge of the chakras already answers many of the problems of a person.

Another example: when talking with someone, you feel distrust - it was you who covered the chakras from dirt and bad things, and if you are talking to a nice person, then they are open. Hence also the manipulations with a person, they try to win over some of them, forcing people to open their chakras and shit there, so it’s better to always communicate with good people ... so you will always be full of energy.

There are only 7 of them in the body.

Locations and colors 1 to 7

2 chakra(orange) is responsible for the genital area and nearby organs. But in general, when everything is normal here, a person’s mood is the same, so sad people are just with an unsatisfied given center.

3 chakra(yellow) - these are internal organs (below you can see in the pictures) - it also symbolizes wealth - this center is well developed among the rich.

4 chak ra (green, but actually there are two of them, and the other is pink). Green is responsible for the heart, and pink is for.

5 chakra(blue) - located in the throat area - for which it is responsible in the pictures below.

6 chakra(blue) - located in the head area, with the center approximately in the third eye area.

7 chakra(purple) - on top.

How are they cleaned

For example, one of the simplest meditations in short: close your eyes, you imagine that you enter your head and begin to see these colors and chakras, in your head it is blue, but if you have not done meditative practices before, then this color will be very darkened, since it has not been cleaned, this is how serious the layer of dust is, the color is already almost dark blue... it's time to sound the alarm, okay... we go down like a spiral staircase, we need to start cleaning the chakras from the bottom, look for now... we went down to the very bottom, there is red (like a triangle between the legs) - but most likely also of a dark color, so we take a hose and bright white light in it (it can clean any color, since it combines them all in itself, from a physics course) and start everything around with this light illuminate and the color turns into bright red, which it should be... the darkness is gone, like dust has flown away... everything is now bright and even pleasant... then we go up the spiral staircase and so at each level we highlight orange, yellow, green (we don’t do anything special, it’s a heartfelt one, we need to be careful here), pink, blue and blue ... we don’t touch purple either ... at the end we rise, as it were, through a hole on the top of the head, look up, as it were, at the starry sky ... and it became so good and easy...and bright light begins to seep through this hole through all these chakras, water each center with grace...you can open your eyes.

This is how you can clear your chakras.

It is very interesting that the chakras are connected with the organs, and often problems with the lack of energy in the chakra or its clogging lead to diseases of the organs in these centers.

Names in Yoga

It even has its own pyramid of needs:

Our energy field, also called the aura, contains seven major energy centers. These are the so-called chakras.

The word comes from the Far East and means "wheel". Chakras transform the energies of the Universe and integrate them into our bodies.

Each chakra corresponds to a certain gland, organ, mental state. The balance between these seven centers provides our body with vitality and health. Each of these energy centers is associated with a specific color, and the chakras are perceived as a kind of bright battery. When we are full, we are healthy and in harmony.

If one of the centers is exhausted, our whole system falls down and the result is disease.

It is in this case that experts recommend color therapy. The frequencies associated with each color of the spectrum correspond to the energy frequency of each of the chakras. Color can be used to activate our entire system or just chakras. For example, if our problem is related to the fourth chakra, then a focused green light on the problem area can help. In addition, the chakra is also activated when you wear a green scarf or clothing while eating green food (parsley, lettuce, broccoli).
