Third Eye Chakra
The Brow Chakra is associated with the color indigo. It is also often referred to as the "third eye" or the "mind center." It is our avenue to wisdom - learning from our experiences and putting them in perspective. Our ability to separate reality from fantasy or delusions is in connection with the healthfulness of this chakra. Achieving the art of detachment beyond "small mindedness" is accomplished through developing impersonal intuitive reasoning. It is through an open brow chakra that visual images are received.

Reflexology teaches us that the vital energy or life force of our body circulates in a balanced rhythmic way between all the organs of the body. It also permeates every living cell and tissue. If this energy becomes blocked, the organs relating to the blockage becomes diseased. Also, bacteria and virus related diseases can upset the energy balance in the body.
This energy is circulating between two points, the top of the head and the feet. It flows between these two poles, in ten separate energy currents, five in each sides of the body. The currents flow in perpendicular lines called zones and within these zones located are all the organs and muscles of the body.
Apart from these energy zones, the feet are also divided into three transverse zones. The first division lies between the phalanges and metatarsals. In that first zone are the reflexes of the head and neck. The second division lies over the metatarsals and houses the reflexes of the chest and upper abdomen. The third division continues down from the waistline to the calcaneus. In the third zone we can find the reflexes for the abdomen and pelvis.
