Third Eye & Crown Chakra

Third Eye
Located on the forehead, between the eyes is our third eye chakra. This chakra aligns with our intuition, mental strength, vision, and awareness.  When this chakra is balanced you will be in touch with your intuition, have a clear head, and feel capable of thinking through plans and making decisions. When out of balance, you may feel indecisive, fearful, out of touch with your own thoughts and feelings, or experience nightmares. 
Below are associations with this chakra that may help you to find balance.

Tea: Daydreamer
Crystals: sodalite, labradorite, moonstone

Crown
At the top of the head, in the space where the soul and physical bodies blend, you will find the crown chakra. This chakra is associated with wisdom, spirituality, and our connections to the universe. When balanced, we will feel present, peaceful, patient, and able to understand our own feelings and motivations. When out of balance we may experience cynicism, confusion, close mindedness, and a lack of connection to our own thoughts and feelings.

Our chakras may be in and out of balance at any point during our lifetime depending on what is going on, health, hormones, relationships, etc. Know that balancing them simply starts with an awareness of where the problems are. If you know, for example, that you are not in touch with your intuition, you will find that you need to do more to align with your third eye. With time this awareness will become more natural. For now, if you are new to working with your chakras, you may start by reading those chakra's affirmations and seeing how much you feel that they ring true for you. If you can't internalize an affirmation as true, that chakra may be blocked. Another thing to try is taking a quiz online. There are endless options for these quizes, but start simple.
