Chakra 6: Ajna – Time of Penance, Intuition, and Inner Insight
Welcome to the sixth chakra of your Leela journey—Ajna, the Third Eye Chakra. Having cultivated authentic expression and clarity in Vishuddha, you now enter Ajna, the center of intuition, insight, spiritual vision, and profound inner wisdom.
What is Ajna?
In Sanskrit, Ajna means "command," "perception," or "authority." Located between the eyebrows, Ajna governs intuitive perception, inner knowing, spiritual insight, and visionary clarity. This chakra symbolizes the awakening of your intuitive and psychic abilities, guiding you toward deeper truths and self-awareness.
In Leela, Ajna (squares 46–54) explores themes of conscience, intuition, insight, spiritual devotion, and inner clarity.
