Third Eye Chakra
Ajna · Between the eyebrows
The third eye chakra, Ajna, sits between the eyebrows and is the centre of intuition, insight and imagination. It is the seat of inner sight — the part of you that perceives beyond the obvious and trusts what it knows without being told.
What it governs
The third eye chakra is read as the centre of intuition, insight and imagination — your inner wisdom, your ability to see the bigger picture, and your trust in your own perception. When it is open, intuition flows and clarity comes; it is the chakra of the wise inner eye.
When it’s balanced
When the third eye chakra is balanced you feel intuitive, perceptive and imaginative — able to trust your inner knowing, see situations clearly, and tap into insight and vision.
When it’s blocked
A blocked third eye chakra is said to show up as confusion, overthinking, a lack of imagination, or distrust of your own intuition. You feel stuck in the literal and cut off from your inner guidance.
