In the heart of the flower an inverted triangle can be found and a crescent moon placed over it. The Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra is situated in the middle of the forehead, right over the bridge of the nose, between the physical eyes.
It is also recognized as the divya chakshu or the divine eye, also as the eye of knowledge since it is the channel through which a spiritual aspirant receives revelations and insight of the higher world of consciousness. Our two eyes view the actual world, but our sixth chakra sees beyond that.

When Ajna chakra is underactive we cannot perceive subtle qualities of the reality going beyond the physical senses into the realm of subtle energies. For these to be seen this energy center need to be tuned up and spinning in a balanced way. Consequently, we lose access to subtle dimensions and how the different and various realities move inside and outside us.

It can manifest as headaches, vertigo, poor vision, seizures, and inability to focus. This also includes brain disorders like trouble processing information, memory problems, and anxiety. Due to how we use it to perceive information, hearing issues can also be associated with this chakra. sleeplessness and learning disabilities.
Acceptance is the key to bring to balance Ajna chakra. It helps to stay away from negative emotions and allows the spirit (inner guru) to guide you through intuition so that you are able to see the situation under the right light, form the correct perspective and find the right solution.
This acceptance is about trusting yourself to rise to any occasions/opportunities that present itself to you. It is about being open to all of life, knowing that whatever is happening is for your ultimate good. It is about knowing that life throws challenges to evolve you to your highest perfection.
Progressive exposure to natural light aids in the dissolution of dualities and the recognition of reality for what it is.
