6th, Third Eye, Ajna

The Sixth Chakra, is also called the Third Eye or Ajna which means “Command Post”.  It is the seat of intuition located at the brow point. The Ajna is associated with the pituitary gland which is the master gland that regulates the rest of the glands.  A balanced 6th chakra will bring understanding of one's purpose, it is a union of opposites.  The Ajna Chakra has to do with recognition, intuition, imagination, visualization, dreaming and perception. When a person has developed a strong Ajna, one can see the unseen and come from a deep inner state of knowing. This person also will have deep meditative experiences and can usually recall dreams.  

Yoga exercises that tap into the 6th Chakra energies are: Focus on the Third Eye, Kirtan Kriya, Archer Pose, Whistle Breaths, all exercises with forehead resting on floor.
