Develop your intuition and your imagination by drawing upon the energy of the color indigo. Unlock your third eye, and your creativity, while learning to pay attention.

Indigo is the color of the brow chakra.

In How Psychic Are You? 76 Techniques to Boost Your Innate Power (Penguin Books, 2002), author Julie Soskin says, “This psychic center enhances clairvoyance, and expands your psychic vision so that you are able to see past, present, and future as a unified picture. Because indigo stimulates the right side of your brain, it triggers your creative imagination, [and] deepens your intuition….”

Creating a Home Altar With Indigo

Create an altar in your home using the color indigo. Your altar may be a room or closet. Or, it may be a collection of objects special to you that you group together on a shelf or bureau, increasing their energies by their proximity to one another. You may take time each day to light incense or a candle set on your altar. Take a moment to meditate and open yourself to your psychic energies.

Add colors such as violet and white to support the energy of indigo.

Creative Problem Solving

Use your creativity and intuition to answer questions that you are finding difficult to answer. Look at the image of something indigo for three-to-five minutes while establishing your question in your mind.

Next, define some random parameter for the answer coming to you. For example, you might say to yourself, “My answer will be the first thing I notice in the toy store I’m going to in order to get my niece a birthday gift.”

You arrive at the store, hours after your brief meditation. You nearly forget about your question until you walk in the door. The display opposite the entrance is filled with stuffed Dalmatians. Maybe the question you were pondering had to do with talking to your boss about a coworker’s distracting behavior. Obviously, the answer isn’t to buy her a toy. What you will do is consider how “Dalmatian” or “dog” or perhaps even “toy” is your answer.

You decide that you’ve been too black-and-white looking at the situation at work (using the dog’s black and white spots as your prompt). This technique requires you to force-fit an arbitrary answer to your question, perhaps gaining entirely unexpected insights into your question.

Keep a Dream Diary

Keep a pen and notepad beside your bed. Immediately upon waking, outline the main images in your dream, leaving space to add details after you’ve listed the main points.

In the beginning, you may not remember any of your dreams. When you lay down, tell yourself that you will remember your dreams upon waking. Continue to tell your subconscious your expectations and you will begin to recall more of your dreams.

After you’ve had the chance to record a series of dreams, flip back through the pages of your journal and look for common images. Contemplate what these images mean to you, as opposed to a dream dictionary.

Increase your imagination and intuition by focusing on the color indigo thereby opening your third eye. Clarity of vision and creativity are yours as you become receptive to the powers of the Universe.
