Ajna or the third eye chakra is located in the space in between the eyebrows. The parts of the body it pertains to are the pineal and the pituitary glands. Ajna is the energy centre for intuition, wisdom and insight. When this chakra is balanced, we can connect with our intuition easily, and follow its wisdom. It can also empower us to discover our psychic abilities and reach spiritual illumination, being completely detached from the ego, paranoia, fear or any delusions. When ajna is out of balance, we can experience excessive worry about the past, present or future; paranoia or uncontrollable fear and an inability to appreciate and be in the present moment. Ajna means infinite power and when we activate this chakra, we can discover and embrace our internal power. The following asanas make a great sequence for activating ajna and opening its energy flow. Please check the contraindications of these poses before attempting. TADASANA |
