Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra, or Ajna (“to perceive” or “command”), is the centre of intuition, vision, and inner wisdom.
Located between the eyebrows, it governs how you see beyond the physical — your insight, imagination, and ability to trust the unseen realms of truth and possibility.
It is the seat of your higher mind and spiritual awareness, connecting logic with intuition and helping you see life from a place of expanded consciousness.
