Indigo symbolic color of spirituality combines blue and violet to get its mysterious, deep hue to represent the 6th Chakra. The blue in indigo assists us in our meditations and communications while the violet enhances our intuition and higher thought processes. Our personal reflections are governed by indigo as are our insights into ourselves and others. As a result, this color sends us inward for deep thoughts and mindfulness.
Ajna, Agya or Brow or third eye chakra, is the sixth primary chakra in the body. It is part of the brain that strengthens and grows stronger when you include meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices. It also signifies the direct link to the Brahman and the subconscious mind. Of course, we know that out two eyes see the physical world, but the third eye sees the spiritual world and brings insight about the future.
“Have you ever had a moment where you clearly could see how every detail of a project could easily fall into place? Ever had the experience of thinking of someone, and then they called you? Did you ever just KNOW something was going to happen and then it did? Has it happened that the most amazing idea popped into your head, seemingly out of nowhere?”

Introduction to the 6th Chakra
Indigo is the color of the Third Eye Chakra. When you need to see beyond your immediate reality, indigo helps you reach deep meditation and increases your awareness.
Indigo color energy is one of great change. It lets you change the energies of lower chakras into higher spiritual vibrations. If you go through this take caution to remain grounded and connected to life on earth and your family and friends.
Indigo and the third eye chakra allows you to recognize patterns so that you are aware of your own actions past and present. This knowledge naturally allows you to live in the present peacefully.
6th Chakra Human Qualities
Use indigo in your sacred spaces. The indigo symbolic color strongly associates with the pineal gland which is located in our brains. Add to that little fact, the pineal gland links to our nervous systems, mental abilities, and psychic abilities.
It is also interesting that Edgar Cayce’s readings state that the pineal gland is where thought patterns begin. Thus, the phrase, “out of the blue”! This phrase essentially means that the dark color of indigo stimulates thoughts and creativity which suddenly manifest in the pineal gland.
As mentioned before, indigo is great for inducing deep meditation and spiritual awareness. Decorate your spiritual space with indigo and enjoy the benefits of deep relaxation and insight into your deepest thoughts.
