XLIII — Third Eye Chakra – Colour and Affirmations
The Third Eye Chakra can do this if you so desire and you allow it to happen. The exercise is simple and effective and sharpens both your reason, your intellect, and your imagination and creativity.
The Third Eye Chakra is of an indigo colour, which is rich, luxurious and full of energy charge. There is the association with night, and like our discussion in the next chapter on the pineal gland, which rests in complete darkness, but can conjure up all the colours and spectacles of the rainbow, the Third Eye Chakra, too, rests in darkness, but has the all-seeing light of illumination to allow us to see the real world outside and our position in that world. Just like in the deepest well of night, when only the stars spangle the vast heavens, we are able to see with our mind's eye, so is our Third Eye Chakra able to peer through the thick indigo and open up the veil of a whole new world.
Some Third Eye Chakra affirmations are:
"I have the ability to see through the present reality."
"I have deep wisdom in me, which allows me to see things as they really are."
"Intuition is strong in me and guides me through life."

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
