The Brow and Crown Chakras
The Third Eye Chakra Controls Dreams, Imagination and Creativity
Jan 6, 2009
The Brow Chakra, or anja centre, also called the third eye, is associated with the pituitary gland which controls most of the body’s hormonal functions. The brow chakra relates to memory, dreams, intuition, imagination, visualisation, insight and psychic perception. This chakra is all about seeing, within and without. The colour associated with the brow chakra is deep indigo blue or deep purple. The sound of ‘la’, or waves crashing on the beach, help with this centre.
Physically, the brow chakra relates to the eyes, brain, nose and head. Any imbalances usually occur in these organs and can include sinusitis, headaches and poor vision. From an emotional viewpoint the brow chakra deals with compassion and putting yourself in another’s shoes, being sensitive to the needs of others and a sense of humour.
The Brow Chakra and Memory
Mentally recognising patterns can help us predict what will occur next and also provide an insight into behaviour. Remembering recent events, long term events and even past lives is linked with this chakra. Stored images that can be seen like a film in our heads allow us to view the same scenario again or replay it, making changes to produce a different outcome. Dreams are another mental component of the brow chakra, whether they are daydreams or those occurring while we sleep. The symbology of dreams provides a great deal of insight to feelings, thoughts and desires.
Imbalances in the brow chakra may also induce hallucinations, delusions, nightmares and misguided thinking. Some people may be insensitive to other’s needs either deliberately or simply by not observing them. These are the people who do not seem to take the hint for whatever you are trying to tell them, while others are unable to see what is in front of them and are blinded by inaccurate thinking.
The Crown Chakra
The seventh chakra, or crown chakra, is also called the sahasrara centre, the spiritual centre or connection centre to the oneness of the universe. The crown chakra relates to the divinity of the self and connection to a higher source, however it is defined. The crown chakra also relates to intelligence, thought, consciousness and information.
The crown chakra is associated with the colour white or lavender and the ‘om’ or ‘ti’ sound. There is not much dysfunction associated with this chakra on a physical level. Some with imbalances may experience a sense of disconnection and are sometimes described as having their ‘heads in the clouds.’ Some people with psychiatric disorders or drug addiction may have distortions with their crown chakras.
