Sixth Indigo Brow Chakra

Yes, we’ll get to the Sixth Indigo Brow Chakra, but first, let’s talk about color.

The usual assumption in life is that when I say the word indigo as a descriptor, the person to whom I am speaking knows what what indigo is. If we were both looking at the image above, we would both know.

If you think about it, though, there are an awful lot of indigos, no?

Do I mean: indigo as in new jeans? Indigo like a navy blue? Indigo like real indigo dye? Indigo going toward turquoise? Or indigo going toward ciolet? It’s a lot to think about!

And most of the time, indigo is that color that most of us can’t visualize. Hint: it’s a deep blue-purple on the blue side.

In terms of chakras, we have to think about color in terms of light, not pigment. Chakras are part of Energy Medicine; their colors have to have an energetic basis.

The indigo above is the one I chose after much deliberation as the best digital one for the sixth chakra. If I were to go for indigo pigment, the color would be slightly different, more toward a deeper violet, but that’s for another day.

No matter what shade of indigo you’re using, it can ..

Soothe. Tranquilize.
Act as a good antidote to violence, anger, or aggression.
Be used to cool inflammation & eruptions.

The Grace of the Sixth Indigo Brow Throat Chakra is Intuition.

Summon indigo when you want to …

Effect healing of all kinds
Discern what’s truest in your own being
Invite and maintain serenity

Beware that …

Too much turquoise can make you live in your head, your intellect, and logic, missing all the magic of living in a body

Indigo controls the free-flow of your own ability to know without knowing how. This is a gift we all have, but when it comes to using our intuition for ourselves, humanity can be woefully behind. Who else could it be for if not you?

Indigo is the energetic equivalent of creativity itself. Use it to return to your abilities again and again as starting from the awareness of your own abilities always paves the way to success after success, or good sleep patterning. (*And caveat emptor: this is not medical advice — it’s energy advice.)
