Ajna · “Command / Perceive”

Presiding deity
Ardhanarishvara · Shakti Hakini
The 'command' centre between the brows — two great petals, the guru's chakra, where the teacher touches the seeker at initiation and bids the awakened Kundalini rise. Here subject and object begin to dissolve into light.
What the third eye chakra governs
Intuition, insight, imagination, and inner vision.
☀ When it's open
Intuition and reason work together. You trust your inner knowing and see clearly beyond the obvious.
☾ When it's blocked
A blocked third eye can feel like confusion, overthinking, disconnection from intuition, or a stubborn reliance on logic alone.
How to rebalance your third eye chakra
- ◆Sit in stillness and follow your breath for 5 minutes
- ◆Write down a dream or a gut feeling
- ◆Trust one small hunch today, no second-guessing
Chant its seed-sound
Om̐
“I trust my intuition; my inner knowing is wise and clear.”
