What You Can Do to work with the Brow Chakra
Meditation is key to connecting with the seat of intuition and higher thinking.
Don’t dismiss it because you think it’s impossible to empty your mind - that is not the point of meditation. Allow the mind to get quiet - yes, so that you can move beyond the noise of the external world, the egoic mind and the constant chatter.
Meditation teaches us to be content with just being - right here, right now.
And from that place we can ask the intuition or the Higher Self for guidance
Listening to ourselves and acknowledging what we really feel allows us to change what is not working and to live in a more meaningful, purposeful way.
