The chakras are said to be wheel-like energy centers that run through your body and influence your well-being and perception. The sixth chakra in the body is the third eye chakra, which is also known as Ajna.
The location of this chakra is reported to be at the center of your head, parallel to the middle of your brows. It's connected to perception, consciousness, and spiritual communion, according to experts.
When the third eye chakra is open, it is said to bring knowledge and insight, as well as strengthen your spiritual connection.
While there is no scientific evidence to back up these assertions, the third eye chakra is revered in many traditions and societies.
Let's look at what the third eye is, what it can accomplish, and how to use it.
What is the chakra of the third eye?
The third eye chakra is believed to be related to:
- clarity
- concentration
- imagination
- intuition
- spiritual perception
- universal connection
According to Candice Covington, author of "Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice: Working with the Chakras, Divine Archetypes, and the Five Great Elements," this chakra is associated to the pineal gland.
"The pineal gland is a pea-sized gland shaped like a pine cone found near the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the vertebrate brain," adds Covington. "It's a cherished tool of seers and mystics, and it's said to be the highest universal link organ."
According to Covington, the pineal gland is important in most civilizations across the world.
"The Ajna chakra, for example, represents the third eye in Ayurvedic philosophy," she explains. "The Eye of Horus sign in Ancient Egypt reflects the position of the pineal gland in the profile of the human skull."
Melanin is produced by this little gland at the base of the skull, and it impacts circadian rhythms and reproductive hormones.
Because of its alleged association to awareness, this chemical is frequently referred to as "the spirit molecule" or "the seat of the soul."
The relationship between the pineal gland and spiritual experience has yet to be established scientifically.
