Why was I nauseous and hot after cleansing my sixth chakra? Was it anxiety or something deeper?

Hello Karan, What you experienced is quite common, and in most cases it is not something mystical or dangerous. The sixth chakra third eye is closely linked to the nervous system, focus, and mental processing. When you work on it directly, especially during cleansing, a few things can happen: ● Increased mental stimulation can trigger anxiety-like responses ● Heat is a normal stress response of the body ● Nausea often comes from overstimulation or shallow breathing ● Sensitive people feel this faster than others This usually means the practice was too intense or too fast, not that something “went wrong” in your energy field. Beginners often jump to upper chakras before the body is grounded enough to handle it. What to do next: ● Stop direct third-eye work for a few days ● Focus on grounding (feet awareness, slow breathing) ● Work more with the heart or root chakra instead ● Keep sessions shorter and gentler If the feeling passes quickly after stopping, it was most likely nervous system overload, not a deep spiritual imbalance. Listen to your body—that is more important than finishing all chakras in one session.
