Chakra Six: Ajna (Third Eye)

• Element: Light
• Color: Indigo
• Power: Perception

The Ajna Chakra, or Third Eye, is located between the eyebrows—your inner seeing center. It governs vision, intuition, clarity, and inner knowing. When active, you perceive with insight, beyond the limitations of logic or illusion.

Ajna means “command” in Sanskrit—referring to your ability to direct awareness and align your thoughts with wisdom and higher guidance.

This chakra connects the intellect with the soul, allowing information from the higher self to be processed and understood through intuitive perception.

In balance, your perception is clear. You trust your inner guidance, see life symbolically, and remain calm in the face of uncertainty because you see beyond it.

What the Third Eye Chakra Governs

• Inner vision and intuitive intelligence
• Imagination and creative insight
• Concentration and clarity
• Spiritual awareness
• Perception of symbolic meaning

Ajna helps you decode dreams, tune into energy, and make sense of life’s patterns. It is the seat of the mind’s eye—the place where spiritual intelligence merges with focused awareness.
