What is the Third Eye Chakra?
The Third Eye Chakra is called Ajna in Sanskrit, which means "perceive" or "command". It is located between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose. This Chakra represents your inner perception: intuition, imagination, clear thinking and the ability to see beyond the obvious. Its element is Light and its color is indigo, the deep blue purple of the evening sky. When the energy flows well here, you trust your feelings, see connections and make decisions with calm and overview. The core statement of this Chakra is: I see and I know.
Third Eye Chakra in and out of Balance
With a balanced Third Eye Chakra you combine a sharp mind with good intuition. You concentrate well, have a vivid imagination and sense what is right. When the energy is out of balance, you may feel confused or indecisive, distrust your intuition and get stuck in worrying. An overactive Third Eye Chakra can show as overstimulation, daydreaming and losing touch with practical life. Meditation, silence, enough sleep and working with blue and purple stones help restore the balance.
