my sinuses are acting up a ton about now. my allergies get worse as i get older.

i have been using neilmed(?) saline solution and that feels pretty good. since i have quite a bit of sinus ailments i decided to do some investigating on the more emotional/mental aspects of why they recur as much as they do. i am not,however, completely discounting any environmental factors as to why i am have these problems.

the sinuses are related to the third eye or 6th chakra. here is some of what i found:

Third Eye / Ajana Chakra

Location: At the base of the skull, at the medulla oblongata. It's location at the front of the head is between the eyebrows at the third eye.

Color: Indigo, a combination of blue and red.

Tone: OM

Element: Electrical or telepathic energy.

Sense: Thought

Function: Intuitive center, seat of will and clairvoyance.

The third eye is the center of psychic powers and higher intuition, you can receive guidance, channeling, and tune into your higher self. This is the center that enables you to experience telepathy, astral travel and past lives.

Deficient energy: Non assertive, undisciplined, oversensitive to the feelings of others, afraid of success, schizophrenic (unable to distinguish between Ego self and Higher self).

Excessive energy: Egomaniac, proud, manipulative, religiously dogmatic, authoritarian.

Balanced energy: Charismatic, can receive guidance, not attached to material things, no fear of death, master of yourself, sexual energy-you no longer need another person to complete yourself.

Illness & affected systems:

Endocrine system : Pituitary gland, Neo-mammalian brain, Greater left brain hemisphere correlation.

Psychic abilities : Clairvoyance, Psychic reading, To have vision or insight, Photographic memory, Telekinesis.

Psychological Illness: Extreme confusion, Fixations, Inability to focus, Intelligence deficiencies, Living in a fantasy world, Paranoia, Poor visual memory, Psychotic behavior, Schizophrenia, Severe retardation, Confusion, mental Illness, lack of clarity, psychic exhaustion.

Physical organs : Autonomic nervous system, hypothalamus, Pineal, pituitary, brain, eyes, ears, nose.

Physical Illness: Brain tumors, Cancer, Central nervous system problems, Eye and visual problems, bad eyesight, Headaches (sinus), Sinus problems.

Gems/Minerals: Lapis lazuli azurite, soda-lite, quartz crystal, sapphire.

To balance and to awaken this chakra: Meditate, lay down with a crystal or a small pyramid on your forehead, visualize a indigo blue flame.

i am trying a few affirmations to go along with my meditations (and saline rinse!)

1)my inner vision is clear & strong. i trust my intuition and inner vision.
2)i see all things clearly
3)i am open to the wisdom within
4)i can manifest my vision.

may some of this help. i hope you feel better soon. i am a level II reiki practitioner so if you would like, i will send some your way.

many blessings
