What is the Brow chakra?
The brow chakra sits just above the middle of both eyebrows. Some people call it the Third Eye. I don't like that—because it has to do with so much more than your ClairVoyant vision. The Brow Chakra is about intellect and it’s about processing your intuitive information.
What is the brow chakra (and what is It really about)?
Sometimes your awareness is ahead of your language. You just know things, you're psychically picking things up, your intuition is ripe and charged. That processing—"What is this? What am I supposed to do with this?"—happens through your Brow Chakra.
The Brow Chakra is where your intellect and intuition converge. ClairVoyance, ClairAudience, ClairSensation, ClairSentiment, and all the others—you bring it all up to your brain to comprehend, discern, and interpret. When your 11 Soul Senses meet the brow chakra, you claim language to your awareness. And that is personal power.
How to activate your brow chakra
You activate your brow chakra by tuning in, tuning into your world with your Soul Senses. This honors and empowers this center of intuitive agency. Try taking a day and deciding you're going to live from your intuition—making decisions using your 11 Soul Senses and noticing what happens. When you sit with yourself in meditation, mindfulness, or simple reflection, you begin to differentiate: Is this thought intellectual, or is it an intuitive hit?
I created a practice termed A.B.C., which stands for Awareness, Breath, Care. When something comes to you—a thought, a feeling, an image—stop. Become aware, take a breath, close your eyes, focus inward, and be soulfully guided with what to do next. What level of care needs to happen for your best possible outcome? Your intuition is pinging you for a reason. Become more aware, stop, and ask: "Where is this coming from? What am I supposed to do with it?" Then take your next step for personal care.
As an example, if you're feeling scattered or overwhelmed, your wise self by way of your intuition would probably say, "Take a break. You're processing too much." This is working smarter, not harder.
Remember— Everything that comes from your wise self or as guidance from beyond will be for your highest good and will never ask you to harm yourself or others. True inner wisdom brings peace.
These are some ways to honor and activate the energy of your brow chakra.
