Ajna

Third eye chakra Traditional Hindu diagram of third eye chakra Ajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, IAST: Ājñā , IPA: [ˈaːɟɲaː]), brow or third eye chakra, is the sixth primary chakra in the body according to Hindu yogic traditions and signifies the unconscious mind, the direct link to Brahman (ब्रह्मन् - ultimate reality). The third eye is said to connect people to their intuition, give them the ability to communicate with the world, or help them receive messages from the past and the future. Location The Ajna chakra is located in the center of the forehead between the eyebrows. It is not a part of the physical body but considered to be part of the pranic system. The location makes it a sacred spot where Hindus apply a tilak bindi to show reverence for it.[citation needed] Appearance The Ajna chakra is described as "a diamond-like lotus of two petals, presided by Hamsa Devata, and Susumna Sakti. It corresponds to the Vijnana state and Anupama Vak, and to the half matra of the Pranava." It is said to represent the nadis (psychic channels) Ida and Pingala, which meet the central Sushumna nadi before rising to the crown chakra, Sahasrara. The letter "ham" (हं)
