Understanding the Third Eye Chakra
Ascending the final steps of the Kundalini, you arrive at Ajna, the seat of wisdom and the command center of the subtle body.
In Sanskrit, Ajna translates to “perception, knowledge, command.” It governs the five senses, the conscious and subconscious mind, and can modulate all other chakras and the energy channels passing through them.
Ajna is the seat of discernment, emotional intelligence, perception of reality, rationality, and wisdom. It is located centrally, just above the eyebrows, where the third eye or mind’s eye is attributed.
How Crystals Can Help Your Third Eye Chakra?
Crystals can assist you in working with your intuition and higher imaginative self while maintaining balanced energy flow, ensuring there is no excess or restraint.
This allows you to live in both your body and mind in a harmonious way.
