How to Activate the Ajna Chakra
A Guide to the Third Eye Chakra
The Ajna Chakra, also known as the third eye chakra, is the sixth of the seven main chakras in the human energy system. It is located in the center of the forehead, between the eyebrows, and is associated with intuition, insight, imagination, and psychic abilities. The Ajna Chakra is the seat of wisdom and higher consciousness, and it helps us to perceive beyond the physical realm.
When the Ajna Chakra is balanced, we have a clear vision of our life purpose, we trust our intuition, and we are able to access our inner guidance. We are also able to see the bigger picture and the interconnectedness of all things. We can experience lucid dreams, astral projection, and other forms of altered states of consciousness.
When the Ajna Chakra is imbalanced, we may suffer from confusion, doubt, indecision, lack of concentration, and mental fog. We may also have difficulties with our vision, headaches, insomnia, or nightmares. We may be closed off to our intuition, or overly attached to our rational mind. We may also have a distorted perception of reality, or be prone to delusions, hallucinations, or paranoia.
