Brief Overview of the Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra, also known as Ajna (gateway to all of your innermost desires and thoughts.)This chakra allows you to connect with higher realms, as well as explore what’s going on in your subconscious mind.
The Third Eye Chakra opens up our connection with intuition and spirituality, providing access to greater wisdom from within ourselves as well as guidance for what lies ahead.
Our vision for possibilities expands when we open this door through meditation practices like yoga, visualization techniques such as guided imagery meditations, frequency healing, and sound bathing.
The third Eye Chakra color is Indigo/ Light Blue which represents wisdom and inner knowing. The element associated with this Chakra is light. It’s always good to let that light shine on you:)
The mantra of this chakra is “I SEE” because we can then see our potential and chanting (OM/AUM) helps balance and open this chakra.
