Ajna Chakra: Unlocking Your Third Eye for Intuition & Inner Wisdom
What Is the Ajna Chakra?
The Ajna Chakra, also called the Third Eye, is the energy center of intuition and higher perception.
In Sanskrit, Ajna means “beyond wisdom,” reminding us that this chakra connects us to insight beyond our physical senses.
Located between the eyebrows, it radiates energy upward to the crown and downward toward the mouth.
Its associated color is indigo or deep purple, symbolizing clarity, perception, and spiritual awareness.
The Role of the Ajna Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra governs:
-
Intuition and self-reflection
-
Clarity in decision-making
-
Connection to your spiritual purpose
-
The pituitary gland and endocrine system
-
Left brain hemisphere
-
Left eye, nose, ears, and sinuses
-
Neurological system and fine motor control
When balanced, Ajna allows you to trust your intuition, access deep inner knowing, and feel connected to your life’s purpose.

How to Balance the Third Eye Chakra
1. Practice Meditation & Creative Visualization
Meditation is one of the most effective ways to activate and balance Ajna.
Sit quietly, slow your thoughts, and visualize a radiant indigo light at the center of your forehead.
Creative visualization ideas:
-
Imagine a flower opening at your third eye
-
Visualize a bright, healing light expanding outward
-
Picture an image representing love, joy, or peace
2. Use Mantras
Mantras direct energy to the chakra you wish to balance. For Ajna, repeat:
-
Affirmation: “I am connected with my spirit and I trust my intuition.”
-
Sound Mantra: HAM (pronounced “HUM”)
Align With Your Inner Wisdom
