The sixth chakra is a gateway into the future. The color is a deep indigo blue and the element is light. This chakra sits in the center of the brow, creating a triangle with the eyes.

I was remarking how wonderful it was to be a child today because of the awareness around parenting that our parents did not possess. He freaked out at me exclaiming “Are you kidding?! It’s a horrible time to bring kids into the world.
