The sixth chakra, Ajna, known commonly as the third eye chakra, rules an aspect of our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual bodies. The chakra system works together to create your entire being. They are interconnected meaning that when you are emotionally blocked in one this correlates to the health and vibrancy within the rest of your being.
Emotional Signs The Third Eye Chakra Is Healthy
When the third eye chakra is open it shows as clear and intelligent perception. In between our eyebrows at the center of our forehead, the third eye holds the bridge between our emotional and mental perceptions of the world.
This means the Ajna chakra when emotionally balanced looks like an ability to trust our intuition, see-through deception, and easily cultivate self-reflection. Linked to extrasensory perception this includes visually perceiving auras or spirit guides. To learn how to see auras for beginners click here.
Emotional Symptoms Of A Third Eye Chakra Blockage
There is a subtle difference between a blockage and an overactivation of the energy within the chakras.

When the sixth chakra is blocked telltale emotions that may flood the system include gullibility, disregard for intuition or emotional intelligence, having a closed mind, and stuck in the rational thought process.
Other emotions that may circulate feeling mentally exhausted, easily following propaganda, unable to work well with emotions, weak imagination, and a deep even subconscious fear of the truth.
Emotional Symptoms Of A Third Eye Chakra Over Activation
Now to the opposite end of the spectrum, over-activation. An overactive chakra is like a gathering of energy within one energy center that causes the entire chakra system to become imbalanced. It can display itself as a strong emotional attraction to certain third eye chakra characteristics.
Emotional symptoms of an overactive third eye chakra include nightmares, hallucinations, struggling to differentiate between reality and the imagination, or living in their inner fantasy world. Included in this are self-criticism, struggling to stay committed to prior commitments, trying to force a process, or paranoia.
Spiritually bypassing and an obsession with the spiritual can be another symptom. Spiritual bypassing is the act of using spiritual teachings to suppress or avoid human emotions or unresolved issues. It is the extreme of surpassing the human experience due to the understanding we are not simply these physical bodies.
