Is your sixth chakra open and do you have access to the wisdom it has to offer you?
What is the sixth chakra?
The sixth chakra, also known as your third eye, is your center for intuition, imagination, and being able to “see” clearly. It’s located between the eyebrows. The Sanskrit name for the sixth chakra is Ajna. The chakra’s color is indigo and the element is light.
As the intuition chakra, it teaches you how to trust your inner guidance and connect to your higher self. Your connection to higher states of awareness comes from your sixth chakra.
The sixth chakra symbol is depicted in the image above. It is the traditional symbol without artistic modification. Therefore energetically it holds within it the true Ajna chakra meaning.

What Does the Sixth Chakra Represent?
To manifest something you have to imagine it first. You need to see it in your mind’s eye before you can create it. What are you wanting to manifest? Put your imagination to work and it will support the process of making it come true.
This chakra also involves your imagination and your intellect. So to make something manifest you must first have a vision. You are imagining it in your mind’s eye. Then you focus your mind with intention using your intellect to make it work and bring it to life.
Also, following your intuition is a big part of the function of the sixth chakra. Following your inner guidance system as you create and manifest. We are all creators. Are you listening to your higher-self and your inner guidance with all that you do and create? Do you trust it or question it?
Do you second guess yourself? That means your sixth chakra is not open and you don’t have access to your intuition.
To connect to your intuition (your inner guidance), it’s important to slow down. Your mind can be racing and filled with thoughts. Many of your thoughts can be influenced by other people’s opinions and agendas.

Your Sixth Chakra Super Power
Intuition. Your ability to follow your own inner guidance.
Negative Expression:
Negative expression of the sixth chakra include illusions, delusions, and seeing the world in self-serving ways.
It can be having an over-active mind but using it in a disempowering way. Suffering because you are more in your head and less in your heart. It’s as if your sixth chakra is open and active but doesn’t have access to your heart chakra so it’s actually out of balance.
Here are some examples of a negative expression of your sixth chakra.
- Blame
- Judgment
- Resentment
- Inflated Ego
- Over-thinking situations
Positive Expression:
On the other hand, positive expressions are using your inner guidance, and your imagination for positive creations. Seeing challenging life situations from a place of wisdom is a positive expression of the sixth chakra.
In addition, this chakra is about gaining knowledge, and through that gained knowledge that is how you’ve attained wisdom. The difference between knowledge (facts and figures, physical proof) and wisdom is — experience.
When you know something because you have proof from research or literature, that’s quite different from personally experiencing something and being transformed by it. First-hand experience where you’ve been there and seen it is quite different than trusting out authority and that what they’ve told you is the truth.
That’s why, especially in this information age that we are in, that you have a strong sense of intuition — a gut feeling of what is the truth.
Here are some examples of positive expressions of your sixth chakra
- Intelligence
- Insightful
- Access to Inspiration
- Gaining Wisdom from life experiences
Lesson of the Sixth Chakra
The Sixth Chakra teaches you to follow your inner guidance.
Sixth Chakra Healing Exercises:
Exercise 1:
Tune in this week and listen to what your inner guidance is telling you. If you get an intuitive hit about something or someone, listen to it. Don’t second guess yourself.
You know, when you listen to your inner guidance, exactly what is right for you. Another exercise would be to see a challenging situation from a higher point of view. Step back from it emotionally. Don’t let that situation get you down. Look at it differently and in a way that allows you to expand and grow.
Exercise 2:
This exercise will help activate your third eye. Sit quietly, closing your eyes, and look up and out through the space between your eyebrows. This is a sixth chakra meditation.
