Balancing the Third Eye Chakra

According to Hindu tradition, the third eye chakra, or Ajna, is the sixth primary chakra in the body. It’s generally considered to be located in between the brows. This particular chakra is often times referred to as the “sixth sense”.

It’s purpose is to connect us to our intuition and/or our higher self. It’s also believed to be a gateway to spiritual discernment. It’s related to our ability to imagine and create mental representations.

When aligned and in balance, the third eye chakra enhances our intuition and creativity. Problem solving becomes effortless, and a sense of peace and clarity emerges.

When the third eye chakra is blocked or unbalanced, physical symptoms may appear such as headaches and difficulty concentrating, or feeling confused and uncertain.

Practices such as yoga and meditation, are believed to bring activation and healing of the third eye chakra.
