The chakras – The third eye is the sixth Chakra and is referred to as the “perception center.”
The third eye chakra corresponds with the eyes, ears, and the nose, hypothalamus, the pituitary gland which is a small gland situated deep in the brain which secretes melatonin to regulate the body’s internal clock.
A good way to describe this chakra is that your physical eyes see the past and the present, while the third eye brings insight into the future. Through the third eye you can connect your inner and outer worlds through your visions.
Perception Center -Energetic Center
The Ajna chakra is associated with light, clarity, understanding, and spiritual insight. Therefore, focus on Ajna during asana or meditation practices, to obtain higher consciousness.
Good chakra balancing in this energetic center brings peace, increased self-awareness, innovation, greater perception, and insightfulness and allows you to receive guidance from your higher self and spiritual realm.
Symbol
This chakra is represented by a lotus flower with two petals, which represents the dualities of the ego - your likes and dislikes. The lotus flower represents the inner consciousness and its ability to overcome these dualities.

When the Third-Eye Chakra is balanced, active and open, you become more aware, sensitive, observant and insightful and are more able to gain guidance from your higher self and spiritual realm.
An open Third eye chakra brings
- Focus

- You are more alert
- Aware,
- Able to concentrate on tasks,
- Full of ideas, and thoughts
- Intuitive

Physically
The Third Eye chakra is linked to the pituitary gland - master gland, which can be found at the base of the brain, below the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland produces and releases the hormones which regulate certain body functions.
There are two lobes in the pituitary gland these are the anterior and posterior lobes.
The anterior lobe produces hormones that control growth, metabolism, and reproduction. It also regulates the thyroid and adrenal glands.
The posterior lobe stores and releases two essential hormones: oxytocin and vasopressin.
- Oxytocin is sometimes referred to the love hormone.
- Vasopressin helps regulate water balance and blood pressure.
Therefore, when this energetic center is balanced and open the pituitary gland works with optimally producing and releasing hormones. This balance can improve physical health, mental clarity, and your emotional well-being.
Yoga and Meditation
Yoga asanas activate the energy of the Third-Eye Chakra, helping you to developing stronger intuition
