Meaning & origin

Ajna

Also known as: Third-eye chakra; sixth chakra; Agya

Ajna is the third-eye chakra associated with intuition, observation, imagination, and inner clarity.

About this symbol

Ajna is commonly represented as an indigo two-petaled lotus with a central triangle and Om sign. Symbolically located between the eyebrows, it relates to recognizing patterns, discerning what matters, and combining reason with intuition. The emblem is used for themes of concentration, awareness, insight, and inner vision. Esoteric reading: modern yogic and occult systems use this sign as a meditation mandala for attuning the corresponding subtle-energy center and contemplating its qualities. It is a spiritual map for practice, not an anatomical diagram.
