Third Eye

There are 7 chakras for the main ones. They are useful for our good balance and for that, it is important to know them to maintain a good circulation of energies between the different points. They are cycles that regulate the chakras and are different for each one. The sixth chakra is therefore the penultimate one to "start". For a perfect harmony of your energy points, we explain its characteristics, why it can be blocked and how to unblock it.

 

Meaning of the sixth chakra, the frontal chakra

In the Sanskrit language, it is called Ajna which translates literally as command center. It is the sixth of the 7 major chakras. It is located at the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows. Hence its name "the third eye", it refers to knowledge. It is directly connected to the lower chakras and the mind. It is an energy point that develops more and more as you use it!

It is a very important chakra, because it is from it that the other chakras will be guided. Thus, his mantra is kram, which means patience and mental strength. It also refers to mental strength.

Ajna is the seat of knowledge, wisdom and intuition. It synchronizes the activity of the two hemispheres of the brain. It directs the senses, both at the level of the senses and of action. It is linked to the ability to concentrate and to see bigger, in a more open way. It is also found under the name Eye of Wisdom. Thus, if you have a somewhat narrow vision of life or your mind is not open, you will certainly find the cause in a blockage of this chakra.

This energy point governs the nervous system, as it is connected to the cerebellum and the medulla oblongata. Thus, it is the pituitary gland that will allow the frontal chakra to exercise its action.

Seat of the universal soul, it relates to the consciousness and the vision of life. Through it you have access to divine intuition. You will thus be able to transcribe your intuition into a gift of clairvoyance, you will acquire a deep discernment.

The symbol of this chakra is the 96-petal lotus. The number of petals of the chakras has a very important meaning. Cradle of the inner light, it has a direct and essential action on the whole nervous system. Ajna can also be assimilated to the vision of destiny and its acceptance.

The places in the human body that are connected to the third eye are the eyes, the sinuses, the base of the skull, the temples and of course the nervous system.

 

Why is the frontal chakra blocked?

To function well and be in harmony, the chakras must be balanced and open. However, for a variety of reasons, one of these chakras may be unbalanced or not activated properly. The complete cycle of chakra activation is 42 years, so you can see that you should not be in a hurry to see them all activate, one thing at a time. The frontal chakra is no exception to this rule. Attitudes, feelings, actions and lifestyle have a direct impact on the proper functioning of the chakras.

Anja chakra will become active around the age of 30 to 36 in women and 35 to 42 in men. This is the moment when you will have enough perspective on life and a search for balance and stability in life. You will have the need to take control of your life, to have a rich and stimulating environment. It is also at this time that the awareness of old age is present and that it can represent a real fear. Thus, if you do not manage to obtain quality exchanges, if you do not take time to cultivate and learn, you risk blocking this chakra which needs spiritual and cultural nourishment.

Thus, before trying to unblock your chakra by different methods, it is absolutely essential to know the reasons for this blockage and especially to act on it.

 

Why unblock this sixth chakra?

A balanced Anja chakra allows you to feel good about yourself, so you will have a more positive outlook on life in general and whatever happens. Thanks to your clairvoyance, you will be able to distinguish the true from the false so that you can make the right choices. You will gain self-confidence, without expecting anything from others, in all areas.

On the emotional level, you will give less importance to feelings such as fear, anxiety or apprehension. All these emotions will have less influence on you, because they will seem unimportant and you will be able to take a step back from them. Thanks to this detachment, you will be able to live your life with the awareness that it is your actions that determine your life.
