How to Open Your Third Eye and Benefits
The third eye is said to be located between the eyebrows and it is associated with clarity and intuition. The third eye is something very common in several ancient cultures and can have different names, in Ayurvedic for instance it is called Ajna and it is considered the sixth chakra in our body. This area is also linked to the pineal gland, which is correlated to the circadian cycle, being of great importance to our well-being and functioning. By opening and healing this chakra we are able to gain insight and wisdom while strengthening our spiritual connection and intuition.
