Yoga Poses For The Third Eye Chakra
The Third Eye chakra is the energy center known as the home of our “sixth sense.” Located just above and between the eyes, the sixth chakra is associated with intuition, intellect, wisdom, and psychic ability. Represented by the color indigo, which is a mix of deepest blue and violet, the Third Eye, or Ajna chakra, governs the eyes, nervous system, and sinuses. When your Third Eye chakra is open and balanced, you are able to concentrate, focus, and trust your intuition.
Yoga positions are frequently referred to as asanas. The term asana originates from the Sanskrit word asanam, meaning “seated posture.” Yoga poses for the Ajna chakra help fine tune our sense of perception and help us to see life as it truly is.
