This third eye chakra mandala card is sixth in a series devoted to the seven major chakras of the human body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel, or circular. Each of the chakras represents a spinning wheel of a specific type of energy. When you're doing and feeling your best, all your chakras are spinning unimpeded and at an optimal rate. Chakra-focused meditations can help slow, speed up, or unstick specific chakras. The mandala on this card carries the energy of the sixth, or third-eye chakra, centered on your forehead, right above your brows. The third eye chakra is associated with the color indigo. The energy held by this mandala can be helpful when learning to trust your intuition.

Folded 5" x 7" card is digitally printed using high-quality pigment inks on silky, bright white, acid-free paper, and comes with a beautifully made, bright white envelope. The photograph I used to create the mandala is printed on the back of the card with the photo location and a special wish for the recipient. Interior of the card is blank. The paper is smooth and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer. Free shipping is by USPS first class mail. Tracking is not included with single card shipments.

Framing. This third eye chakra mandala card is created using high-quality materials, such as might be used in a museum. The print is sharp, bright, and frameable. To protect the vibrancy of the artwork, I frame using UV glass or acrylic, and I recommend it. If you use plain glass or acrylic, make sure you hang this sweet, little piece and all your beautiful art away from direct sunlight.

About the Art. The mandala art on this card, titled Third Eye Blue, was created using a photo of a tiny blue-eyed grass flower taken in a small meadow on my Pleasant Hill property. Blue-eyed grass is an interesting native wildflower that periodically pops up in my meadow. Although it looks like a clumping grass with blue flowers at the tips of some of the blades, this plant is actually a small lily. For years I attempted to introduce blue-eyed grass to my manicured perennial beds and for years my store-bought specimens promptly died, never to return a second season. However, once I allowed parts of my property to wild, blue-eyed grass popped up everywhere, teaching the lesson that sometimes allowing something is much more effective that pursuing it. This truism holds with intuition, too. Rather than chasing guidance, open your third eye as wide as it will go. Don't be surprised when messages start popping up everywhere.
