The Third Eye Chakra, known as Ajna, is the centre of intuition, inner wisdom, perception, and insight. It sits between the eyebrows, often referred to as the “third eye,” and governs how you see beyond the physical world.
When this chakra is balanced, you feel clear, intuitive, mentally focused, and connected to your inner guidance. When it becomes blocked or imbalanced, you may feel confused, disconnected, stuck in overthinking, or unable to trust your intuition.
This chakra is where insight and awareness deepen.
You can explore the full chakra system in more detail in my chakra healing page where I guide you through each energy centre and how they work together.
