The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)

The Third Eye, or Ajna, is where we “control” the power of our mind and balance our higher and lower chakras. Ajna means “to know” or “to command”. When we release limitations put on us by the ego, we can open to our inner guidance and allow ourselves to see more clearly. The third eye resonates with Spirit and is concerned with ESP, clarity, intuition, and inner wisdom.
