Description: The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is connected to the pituitary gland in the endocrine system. The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is associated with one’s psychic ability, clairvoyance, the power of thought, imagination, seeing on all levels and intuition. The function of Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is aptly described by its Sanskrit name Ajna, meaning perception, aware, control which in essence means ‘command’. It is from this level, when we reach it, we can control or command the whole personality or lower self. This is the seat of mind and at this level we experience mentation; which is flow of mental images and abstract ideas continually coming and going in the mind.

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.

Thought is so potent that it materializes itself through the ether. So that what we think, we become that. Everything which exists at the material level and which is perceptible to the senses has previously been formed as a mental image in the mind of its creator. Just as the ether is the subtle pervasive substratum of the four lower elements, so thought is the even subtler and more potent principle above the ether. To create anything it is only necessary to think it into existence. However this statement covers an enormous field of practical application and endeavour. It is very hard to bring thought under such control that it forms only those images which we want it to and no others. When Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is blocked you may react cool to everything or just the opposite, be very aggressive, rigid, stubborn and assertive in your ways. Also egoism is connected to a blockage in the Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra and fear of success is one of the signs of a disharmony in this Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra. Physical problems related to a blockage in Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra are headaches, blood circulation disorders in the brain, problems with the eyes and nose and blindness.

You can start by understanding the huge power and potential contained in your Indigo colour Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra

The Third Eye as it is most commonly known is located in the center of your forehead. Most people associate it with 'psychic ability' however let's take a look at what that word 'psychic' really means. It is having the ability to see into other dimensions, to access information about the past (including past lives) and the future. It includes all potential pathways available to you, which include everything from your deepest fears to your highest and greatest dreams plus everything in between and beyond. So, asking someone with psychic ability “What do you see for me?” is like going into a video store and asking the clerk “Which movie will I watch tonight?” There are so many possible answers, all depending on which pathways you choose to take, which are determined by the thoughts you choose to make. Yes, make. Most people have never been taught that they have creative control over their thoughts, and over the movies that play out in their minds – control which completely and totally determines the way that their life is unfolding.

How Your Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra Can Help You Live Happy

When the Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is out of balance we feel scattered, mentally foggy and confused. We indiscriminately put up random images on our inner projector that hold our conflicting beliefs e.g. The thought that 'I want a new job' movie is playing at the same time as the 'Finding work in this climate is impossible, I should stay where I am' movie making your progress forward near impossible, creating feelings of frustration and stagnation. We tend to obsess about the past or worry about the future, when the true power of our third eye and reality creation abilities lies in the Now, that is the present moment. That's the only place from which we can truly do anything. When we are out of balance in this area we can also be prone to headaches, eye problems, poor concentration and trouble sleeping.
