The Third Eye Chakra
The third eye chakra is the sixth chakra. Located on the forehead, between the eyebrows, it is the center of intuition and foresight. The function of the third eye chakra is driven by the principle of openness and imagination.
Third eye chakra meaning
The fifth chakra is referred to as:
- Third eye chakra
- Brow chakra
- Ajna chakra
- Bhru Madhya
- Dvidak Padma
The most common Sanskrit name for the Third eye chakra is “Ajna”, which means “command” and “perceiving”.
This chakra is related to the “supreme element”, which is the combination of all the elements in their pure form.
Yogic meaning of the 3rd eye chakra
In yogic metaphysics, the third eye or Ajna chakra, is the center where we transcend duality – the duality of a personal “I” separate from the rest of the world, of a personality that exists independently from everything else.
As Harish Johari says, “a yogi who has passed through the Vishuddha Chakra at the throat to the Ajna Chakra transcends the five elements and becomes freed (mukta) from the bondage of time-bound consciousness. This is where the I-consciousness is absorbed into super-consciousness.” (Harish Johari: Chakras: Energy Centres of Transformation).

Third eye chakra color
The third eye chakra is most commonly represented with the color purple or bluish purple. The auric color of third eye chakra energy can also be seen as translucent purple or bluish white.
Rather than by its color, it is characterized by the quality of its luminescence or soft radiance that reminds us of the moon light.
Third eye chakra symbol
The image of the Third Eye chakra symbol contains two elements frequently associated with wisdom: the upside down triangle and the lotus flower.
Third eye chakra location
The most commonly accepted location for the sixth chakra is between the eyebrows, slightly above at the bridge of your nose. Contrary to a common misconception, it is not located in the middle of the forehead, but between the eyes where the eyebrows would meet. It can also be described as being located behind the eyes in the middle of the head. Note that secondary chakras run along the midline of the forehead, but the third eye chakra is typically located lower.
Behavioral characteristics of the Third eye chakra
The third eye chakra is associated with the following psychological and behavioral characteristics:
- Vision
- Intuition
- Perception of subtle dimensions and movements of energy
- Psychic abilities related to clairvoyance and clairaudience especially
- Access to mystical states, illumination
- Connection to wisdom, insight
- Motivates inspiration and creativity
The third eye chakra is an instrument to perceive the more subtle qualities of reality. It goes beyond the more physical senses into the realm of subtle energies. Awakening your third eye allows you to open up to an intuitive sensibility and inner perception.
Because it connects us with a different way of seeing and perceiving, the third eye chakra’s images are often hard to describe verbally. It puts us in touch with the ineffable and the intangible more closely. Third eye visions are also often more subtle than regular visions: They may appear a bit “blurry”, ghost-like, cloudy, or dream-like. Sometimes however, the inner visions might be clear like a movie playing in front of your eyes.
The third eye chakra is associated with the archetypal dimensions, as well as the realm of spirits.
Third eye chakra imbalance
When the Third eye chakra has an imbalance, it can manifest as:
- Feeling stuck in the daily grind without being able to look beyond your problems and set a guiding vision for yourself
- Overactive third chakra without support from the rest of the chakra system may manifest as fantasies that appear more real than reality, indulgence in psychic fantasies and illusions
- Not being able to establish a vision for oneself and realize it
- Rejection of everything spiritual or beyond the usual
- Not being able to see the greater picture
- Lack of clarity

You already know how. Just try to remember, If your name is really Lot.
So I do a bit of Yoga. Not that seriously, just keeping flexible. When we get to relaxation I often see colours after my eyes close. Today we had an all day Yoga thing with healing session in the afternoon. Went through guided meditation then a sound bath. The light show behind my eyes was amazing. I should explain it always starts off violet, today settled into pearly grey with vivid green flashes. All colours cycled through though, textures. Was a bit like looking at Crab Nebulae. Little holes in the colour but they slipped away when I tried to go down them.
Felt a bit mad when I mentioned this during debrief afterwards. Was suggested that I look up third eye so here I am. What the hell is it?
Thank you for your information.
I have that feature. I’ve tested it.
But for some reason I do not want to use it.

Mike. Hello
Thank you sharing. I will suggest you to go to orthodox Christian church in Manhettan and talk with the priest. They have deep understanding of two words and they will be able to give you the guidance.
LOL, Maia. Do you think the priest of the orthodox christian church understands how it is like to have visions that come true and see entities that no one else can?
Frankly, I don’t think so, as a Christian Orthodox myself. The priest is no more holly than anyone else, nor he understands spirituality.
We should start understanding more people like Mike and start looking at what they are doing to get to this level and start doing it ourselves, rather than running to the church to get brainwashed.
I Live in long island as well mike can you elaborate to me on your experience i may be able to help as i am reaching to open my 3rd eye as well.
I had an experience with what i believe is a chakra. I’m very tired one day and i just cant think of anything else..my mind is 100% empty. I saw a light radiating from my forehead. Like i’m in the tunnel, and the only think that lights up the path is tht light. Its blueish white in color; as if the object is blue, but the light radiated was white. It gets blurry and fadind as i ran towards the tunnel. I only had this experience twice so far.
This forum needed shnakig up and you’ve just done that. Great post!
