The Ajna Chakra, also known as the third eye chakra or the brow chakra, is the sixth primary chakra of the human body. It is also known as the Inner Eye Chakra or the sixth chakra. It is called the third eye chakra because it helps to perceive the reality of the Self by opening the eye of knowledge.

This chakra is symbolically represented as a lotus with two petals and is the dividing line between human consciousness (perception, clarity, and wisdom) and the divine. The energy imparted by this chakra allows clear thought, self reflection, and spiritual awareness. Ajna chakra is denoted by the colour indigo, and its mantra is OM.

The main organs governed by the Ajna chakra are the eyes, ears, nose, brain, and nervous system. The functions of the pituitary and pineal glands are also governed by this chakra.

Some of the physical problems associated with an imbalanced Ajna Chakra are frequent headaches, sinus problems and vision problems. Other issues include stubbornness, a high temper, and nightmares.

Overactive Ajna Chakra:
An overactive Ajna chakra results in overactive imagination, far from reality. Because of this, a person with an overactive Ajna chakra lives in a fantasy world and is frequently bothered by nightmares. People have trouble recollecting memories of events and have a rigid mindset. Such people are easily distracted, affected by anxiety, and have a judgmental and unsympathetic attitude.

Underactive Ajna Chakra:
A person with an underactive or inactive Ajna chakra will generally have poor memory learning problems and find it difficult to visualise and imagine things. He or she lacks intuition, becomes insensitive towards others, and lives in denial. In some cases, people close this chakra to protect them from unpleasant memories.

Those with a balanced Ajna chakra are charismatic and intuitive. Through their serenity, they see things clearly and accept others without getting judgmental. They realise the meaning of life by thinking symbolically. When the third eye chakra is balanced, people find it easy to remember and interpret their dreams and have a good memory.
