The Third Eye Chakra is the 6 th chakra in the body and it is the main portal to step beyond duality and take full command of your reality. It is related to the act of seeing both physically and intuitively. As such it opens our psychic abilities and our understanding of archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see clearly. In effect, letting us see the bigger picture.
LOCATION:
The Ajna Chakra (pronounced as ‘Agya Chakra’) is located between the eyebrows. Also known as the Third Eye Chakra, it is often used as a focal point during asana practice to develop more concentration and awareness. It is said that meditating upon this chakra destroys the karma of past lives and brings liberation and intuitive knowledge. Its attributes are intelligence, intuition, insight, and self-knowledge.
SYMPTOMS OF A BLOCKED/IMBALANCED THIRD EYE CHAKRA:
When imbalanced, it may make you feel non-assertive and afraid of success, or on the contrary, it can make you more egotistical. An imbalance can manifest as physical problems like headaches, blurry vision, and eye strain.
SIGNS OF A BALANCED THIRD EYE CHAKRA:
When this chakra is active and balanced, a person feels more vibrant and confident, both spiritually and emotionally. In the absence of the fear of death, one becomes his own master and remains free of all attachment to material things.
YOGA POSES TO BALANCE THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA:
Ajna Chakra is stimulated when practising Headstand (Shirshasana).
THIRD EYE CHAKRA AFFIRMATION:
“I trust my intuition. My vision is clear. I follow the signs and guidance of the universe.”
