The third eye is located between the eyebrows and is the vortex of intuition,
imagination, visualization, clairvoyance and vision. Many believe that this chakra is connected with the
pineal gland and is the "seat of the soul". It vibrates at a higher frequency than sound. The third eye's
vibration is that of light.
Following is a table listing the symbols and sounds associated with the sixth chakra:
Third Eye Symbols, Sounds, and Associations
Lotus Symbols: There are two white lotus petals that look somewhat
like wings on which the inner spirit can soar and a yellow or golden triangle pointing down. The symbol

manifestation".
