Agya (Brow, or Third Eye) Chakra is the sixth chakra, which is a part of the brain that can be made more powerful through meditation, yoga and other spiritual practice just as a muscle is. Sometimes referred to as the “conscience,” this chakra governs the pineal gland and your vision, intuition, memory, and imagination.
It
signifies the subconscious mind, the direct link to the Brahman. While a
person's two eyes see the physical world, the third eye reveals insights about
the future. This third eye chakra connects people to their intuition, give them
the ability to communicate with the world, or help them receive messages from
the past and the future.
Our journey
From earth we came
(Muladhara Chakra). We flowed into water from there (Svadhisthana Chakra) and
then into the throes of fire (Manipura Chakra). And then, we entered the heart
(Anahata Chakra) and onward, we spoke our truths (Visuddha Chakra). Now, we get
a different kind of clarity, that which comes from our deepest visions
Agya is described
as a transparent lotus flower with two petals, representing the nadis (psychic
channels) Ida and Pingala, which meet the central Sushumna nadi before rising
to the crown chakra, Sahasrara. The seed syllable of Agya, Om, which is
believed to be the basic sound of the world and contains all other sounds. It
is considered the supreme sound of the universe. Indigo is the most common
chakra color associated with the Third Eye. Additionally, violet, silver and
shades of darkest blue/purple may also be used.
Imbalance in the Agya Chakra
The mind can go
overdrive when the Third Eye chakra produces an excess of energy, and it causes
difficulty to concentrate and, in some cases, can induce hallucinations.
An underactive
Third Eye chakra makes one indecisive, procrastinate, or become fearful of the
unknown. It can affect the ability to concentrate on, process, and remember
information. Extremely deficient Agya
chakra function can hinder the ability to focus, keep a cool head under pressure,
or dream and recall dreams.

Diet,

Dark blue and purple-colored foods like brinjals, plums, and blue berries can
