Third Eye Chakra

Ajna

Ajna, 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. 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.
