About Ajna
Ajna is placed between the eyebrows and is associated with the mind rather than a physical element. It is linked with insight, intuition, imagination and the ability to see clearly.
In balance and out of balance
When this theme feels clear, people often describe trusting their intuition and seeing situations with perspective. When it feels clouded, thoughts may race or circle, and it is harder to see the bigger picture.
Yoga for the third eye chakra
Focused gazing, forward folds with the forehead supported and quiet concentration practices suit Ajna.
