What Is The Ajna?
Located between the eyebrows, the Ajna, which in Sanskrit means “beyond wisdom”, is the unseen yet potent third eye, and the source of your intuition. Ever experienced an instance wherein everything seemed okay, and yet you sensed that it wasn’t, and you ended up being proven correct?
That is your Ajna at work, at its basic level, when it is open and clear. At its advanced state, the Ajna allows you to see beyond what your eyes can, perceive the world through a “sixth sense”, which is on top of your normal five senses, and sense other people’s thoughts and feelings, and be vastly creative with your imagination. A closed or underdeveloped Ajna can cause you to be unable to understand properly, have clouded thoughts, be unable to focus, be prone to simply “go with the flow, follow the crowd” even if deep down what you are following is contrary to your beliefs.
On the physical level, the Ajna governs the eyes, head, the base of the brain, and the pituitary gland. An open Ajna gives you clear vision and a clear mind, whereas a closed or underdeveloped Ajna may cause sight problems, headaches and migraines, and other neurological side effects.
So it is important to open the Ajna and develop it further.

One of the primary ways to begin awakening your Ajna is to trust your intuitions. Whenever you feel that “inner voice” which is trying to make you do something instead of your original plan, follow it. Even if it’s just with the simple things. For instance, you and a friend decide to eat at a restaurant. When you are about to order, you feel like maybe you should go somewhere else because the food might be bad. But you order anyway because your friend insisted, and you ended up having a bad meal.
Whenever you decide to follow your intuition, and it turns out to be the better decision, write it down and remember it to reinforce the fact that your Ajna guided you to the right decision. Doing this regularly will stoke your Ajna more and more.
Other ways to open the Ajna are the following:
1.) Meditation – one of the best ways to awaken and balance the Ajna, meditation, especially when the eyes are closed and one opens the mind to the universe, will often result to meditators feeling a tingling feeling, akin to a headache. When combined with the AUM mantra, focusing on the “M” and making it buzz like a bee, the meditation session can be even more powerful.
2.) Yoga asanas – yoga poses wherein the forehead is pressed are good to open the Ajna. Poses like the Balasana or the child pose wherein the forehead is pressed on the floor or a block, and the dolphin pose, are two examples.
3.) Light and Color therapy – the color of the Ajna is purple or indigo, and its element is Light. Wearing purple clothing or surrounding yourself with the color purple can help open the Ajna. As well, being bathed in light, like going outdoors on a nice sunny day, can also help.
4.) Crystal therapy – wearing purple crystals and gems like amethyst, lapis lazuli, azurite, sodalite, and sugalite, as jewelry or as trinkets, can help.
Follow these steps and you too can have sharp intuition that can help guide your lives. As well, listen to this binaural beats track for chakra activation to help awaken your Ajna!
