A balanced energy center at your brow supports both physical and spiritual vision.
Your Energy Centers
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning disc or wheel. It is believed to have originated in India and is first referenced in ancient Vedic texts linked to both yoga and Ayurveda. Your Chakras are spinning wheels of energy, and the Chakra system is the energy system of your body, responsible for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. They can be found in your spiritual body, sharing space and aligning with your physical body.
Balanced energy centers ensure that you are running at peak possible performance. Imbalances can manifest in your physical and emotional body in predictable ways.
Correspondence and Function
Each energy center corresponds with an element that relates to its function. The energy center at your brow, Anja in Sanskrit, corresponds with the element of ether and relates to intuition and insight.
A balanced energy center at your brow supports good physical vision, insight, and a realistic outlook.
Glandular Alignment
Your 7 main energy centers exist in your spiritual body and are aligned with the endocrine centers in your physical body.
The energy center at your brow aligns with your pineal gland.
Your pineal gland responds to light and governs your circadian rhythm which guides your sleep patterns. Energetically it helps you in a similar way, to stay asleep, or to wake up.
Physical Areas Influenced
The energy center at your brow governs your vision.
It influences the base of your skull, your forehead, temples, and eyes.
The area of your spine and the nerves that interact with the energy center at your brow include your uppermost cervical vertebrae and most of your cranial nerves.

The energy center at your brow is located where you might find a third eye and is also known as your third eye.
It is important to note that energy centers are not clearly defined areas and their energy and influence blends with other energy centers, both large and small.
Energy centers effect and are effected by physical function. Your brow governs your vision and responds to light.
Signs of Balance
A person with a balanced energy center at their brow would have good eyesight, be intuitive, and balanced.
A balanced energetic brow supports vision and insight.

Emotional signs of an energetic brow imbalance include:

Bringing Balance
Your energy system is influenced by exposure to the world around you from other living beings to a variety of other things including your food, drink, and even your thoughts. This exposure has a direct effect on how each individual Chakra functions. Because it is a system, the function of each energy center has an impact on the whole system.
Information about tools for bringing and maintaining balance is not medical advice, nor should it be used in place of seeing a medical professional if and when you experience issues. Holistic tools should be considered a complement to any allopathic treatment that you may need.
Also, not everyone reacts in the same way to natural ingredients and allergies are common. Do not use anything that you have reacted to in the past, or if you suspect a sensitivity exists. Contact a medical professional with personal safety questions.
There are many tools that can support your balanced energy system. In this post we will look at the following:
- color
- gemstones, crystals, and minerals
- scent
- fuel or food
- herbs

Color
Color is controversial regarding balancing energy centers. I have personally found that it influences my mood and balance. There is also a great deal of information available on the psychology of color. Even if it is just a placebo effect, the purpose of this information is not to diagnose or prescribe. If using color to bring balance speaks to you, do it. If not, maybe another tool will resonate.
Your brow, or third eye, reacts to indigo, a blue violet. Indigo is connected with insight and deeper understanding.
Use indigo in spaces when you need to concentrate and where you go to reflect or meditate.
Gemstone, Crystals, and Minerals
Gemstones, crystals, and minerals support balanced energy centers through a process called entrainment. Both energy centers and crystals vibrate at specific frequencies. If you have an unbalanced energy center, bring a stone that vibrates at a frequency near or equal to it near your energy center. The vibration of the stone will entrain the energy of the Chakra, returning it to balance.
Amethyst is a popular and effective gemstone that corresponds with the energy center at your brow. It calms the mind making space for meditation, encouraging sleep, and stimulating openness for insight.
To use Amethyst, place it on your brow during mediation, keep it by your bedside, or wear it at your ears. It is also useful to keep a piece in the part of your home where family gathers.

Scent
Scent can trigger memories, mentally transport you through time and space, and bring balance to your energy centers.
The scent of mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) can stimulate dreams. To use it this way, include it in a dream pillow placed near you as you sleep.
Fuel or Food
Each energy center responds to a specific fuel. This ranges from fasting to indulging in what we consider comfort food.
Entheogens or psychedelics fuel opening the energy center at your brow. Novice users should work with an advanced guide.
Herbs
Herbs are popular not only as complementary wellness practice but in allopathic medicine as well. They are flexible in usage and many herbs have a wide range of benefits.
For many, lavender (Lavandula officinalis, L. angustifolia) calms and relaxes this energy center. Be mindful that lavender can be stimulating for some. Beware of imposters claiming to be lavender.
For general support, sip a lavender tea or rub on a lavender balm or lotion. Place a sprig in your pillowcase for sleep support.
