- Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra
Voice of Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra: “You are Intuitive and Wise”. You make sound decisions with your Higher Intelligence”.
Introduction: Third Eye Chakra’s original or Sanskrit name is Ajna. The meaning of Ajna is ‘perception’, and also ‘become aware of’ and ‘control’. The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is depicted as a two leafed lotus flower. The two leaves are placed next to the heart of the flower, like wings. In the heart of the flower an inverted triangle can be found and a crescent moon placed over it. The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is situated in the middle of the forehead, right over the bridge of the nose, between the physical eyes.
It is also recognized as the divya chakshu or the divine eye, also as the eye of knowledge since it is the channel through which a spiritual aspirant receives revelations and insight of the higher world of consciousness. Our two eyes view the actual world, but our sixth chakra sees beyond that.
