The third eye, also known as the “inner eye” or sixth chakra (Ajna), often symbolizes a state of enlightenment. It is associated with clairvoyance, precognition, and intuition. The third eye is believed to be located between the eyebrows. Many religions & spiritual traditions use the third eye to be connected to a divine source of knowledge and insight.

DEVELOPING THE THIRD EYE

Through meditation and visualization techniques, work toward developing your third eye to reach a higher level of consciousness & understanding. It is believed that when your third eye/ Anja chakra, also known as the sixth chakra, is unbalanced or misaligned, you may suffer from many ailments, including migraines, dizziness, anxiety, vision, and hearing problems. When in perfect alignment and balanced, it is believed that you can see things through the power of intuition without the shadow of your ego.

This is accomplished through daily meditation and the practice of yoga.

When meditating, make your third eye your focal point. To do this, turn your eyeballs to the center of your brow, repeating the mantra of “om.” This can be done with your eyes open or closed during meditation. Breathwork during meditation is highly beneficial. The child’s pose is one the best choices since you rest your forehead onto the floor and can remain this way for several minutes. Another suggested yoga pose if standing is the eagle or the warrior pose.
