THIRD EYE

A J N A

‘Command.’

This chakra is symbolised by a lotus with two petals and primarily corresponds to the colour indigo. It is the centre of inner perception and insight and helps to generate clarity of thought, spiritual contemplation and sincere self-reflection.

In this way innate inner knowledge is experienced and can be used to manage the outer world. The well balanced third eye provides intuitive wisdom and guidance which can be trusted with confidence. An over active sixth chakra can make an individual intolerant, judgemental and unsympathetic. An un-active third eye can result in lack of empathy to others, reduced common sense and difficulty in understanding all things spiritual.
