Ajna Chakra
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
- Yeshua, Matthew 6:22
Our intuition, or guiding voice lives in the Ajna chakra. Physically, it resides in the pineal gland in the center of the brain, right in the center point of your eyebrows. Ajna in Sanskrit means, order, command. You can look at this as your brains command center. This chakra is the lighthouse of our being. It shows us beyond the veil/maya/fog that is illusion. This Chakra grants us the power of discernment.

Balanced Ajna:
A balanced third eye will have you feeling super intuitive and almost all knowing. You have a keen perception and can easily visualize or imagine anything. You may have good memory, dream recall and have the ability to think symbolically and inner-stand the synchronicities.
Imbalanced Ajna:
If you are insensitive, lack of imagination, denial and judgment, monopolarized, difficulty, poor dream recall, poor memory, and difficulty seeing the future. These are signs your Ajna chakra is not balanced.
Understanding the third eye chakra helps us understand how we can bring heaven unto earth. See the truth and its purpose and know inside that all is well. With the Ajna chakra you can instantly heal yourself and connect to your ancestors and guides. You can ask yourself questions and listen for the answer. Psychic powers start to heighten when you focus on this chakra.
Now, we can rest in the Crown Chakra.
