Your Brain and Gut Chakras, aka the Sixth and Third Chakras
The Solar Plexus is the third chakra, and the Third Eye is the sixth chakra. The Solar Plexus, or gut, and the Third Eye, or brain, work hand in hand. It’s important they are in balance, energetically speaking, when informing each other so you get the clear positive impact of their guidance.
The sixth shock-rah is spiritually inspired and connected to your intuition and your guides. The gut shock-rah is earth inspired and connected to your human being.
When I teach about chakras, I use the spelling shock-rahs. This is because I see the energetic funnel, a chakra’s shape, as an energetic vortex that needs to be awakened when it becomes still or turns very slowly, hence I want my students to shock, as in ignite, it into motion by focusing on it, by engaging in what it symbolizes, and through mediating on its significance to their life at that point in time while visualizing it turning within their subtle body. The subtle body is the energetic body around your physical body, out to about 12-18 inches. It’s called the aura.
Brain Shock-rah
The brain in our head reigns supreme, but the gut is the 2nd brain and the older one of the two. Before you had a neocortex and frontal lobes, you only had the gut and instincts to guide you. Hence gut-instinct is real. The gut produces 95% of the serotonin in your body, and other neuron cells and neurotransmitters live there too.
The Third Eye and 6th chakra, or as I call it, your brain shock-rah, located between your eyebrows, is in front of the Executive Center area of your brain. It governs the pineal gland in your brain, which makes hormones based on the light, the entire brain, eyes, and the sinus/nose area. Visualizing and/or tapping into your intuition happens here,
It is your area of psychic awareness and connection. If you can open that shock-rah and tap into a connection with the higher realms, this guidance can direct your actions. There are many ways to receive guidance. Opening the third eye will help you discover your way.
Gut Shock-rah
The third shock-rah and Solar Plexus, or as I call it, your gut shock-rah, is considered the power center of your human being.
The gut shock-rah is where you get and store your fire to fuel your will to do and take action in your work and on your purpose. It supports your will to act on what your intuitive 6th shock-rah brings to your human self’s understanding and motivation. The sixth shock-rah intuits the big picture view of your plan or purpose. It could be what you came to the planet to offer, give and learn.
Physically speaking
The solar plexus governs your stomach, digestion, adrenal glands, pancreas, and liver. Your liver cleans your blood system of toxins, and the adrenals manage stress with the pancreas.
The Third Eye governs your brain, upper head, sinus area, and eyes.

My frontal lobe cortex synapses were damaged from a TBI and then I had a lumpdecomy. After that I began having bouts of diarrhea that last approx. 3 months. I have lived with PTSD almost all my life and was diagnosed with GAD. Are there yoga exercises that take the 3rd and 6th chakras relation to the other that can help me calm myself to avoid 3 months of digestion problems.
Hello Anna,
Thanks for reaching out. Your situation is a complicated one, with many factors. I am not a yoga instructor, so can not answer your question. What i suggest you do about your diarrhea is get help from a functional and or integrative MD, to help you with your diet and to heal your microbiomes, yes, there are many in out body, not just the gut.
