How to Energize the Brow Chakra

How to Energize the Brow Chakra



The brow chakra (or Third Eye) is the link between our highest consciousness and basic instincts. Located between the eyes, this chakra influences the integrity of our brain, eyes, ears, nose, nervous system and pituitary gland. What follows are energy techniques designed to charge the brow chakra.









1


Sit in a comfortable position and center yourself. Visualize energy being pulled up from the earth through your spine and spreading throughout your body. Next picture a beam of healing energy flowing down your head and through your body. When you feel the calm flow of energy, proceed to the next step.





2


Visualize the brow chakra radiating with indigo light. With each inhalation, see the chakra expand until you are engulfed by its deep purple light. Place the middle finger of your right hand on the chakra and slowly rotate it in a clockwise fashion. Imagine that you are polishing the chakra until it radiates like a cleansed crystal. Continue this exercise for 10 to 20 minutes then lie down and relax.





3


Stimulate the chakra points in your hands and feet. With your palms facing up, gently apply pressure to the joint between the first and second phalanges of the thumb and message in a clockwise motion. Repeat this procedure with each foot locating the joint between the first and second phalanges of your big toe.





4


Practice your breathing. Sit in a comfortable position and concentrate on your natural breathing rhythm for 5 minutes to quiet your mind. When you are ready, place your right thumb against your right nostril, your second and third fingers on the brow chakra and your fourth and fifth fingers against the left nostril. Close your left nostril with your fourth and fifth fingers while inhaling deeply through your right nostril. Close your right nostril with your thumb as you open your left nostril by releasing it with your fingers and exhale through your left nostril. Keeping your right nostril closed, inhale slowly through the left nostril. Close your left nostril again while releasing the right and exhale slowly. This completes one round of the exercise. Begin another round by inhaling through the right nostril and repeating the aforementioned process. Continue until you have completed 8 to 10 rounds.





5


Try the "Om" mantra exercise. This mantra is composed of 3 sounds: a (as in "are), u (as in "go") and m (as in "mmm"). Find a comfortable position, inhale to a count of 7 and begin to intone the sound "a" from the back of your mouth for a count of 4. Without stopping, continue with "u" moving the sound to the front of your mouth for another four count. Finish by pressing your lips together to produce the humming "m" sound for a count of 8. When you are out of breath, inhale deeply and repeat the mantra.
