When speaking about the third eye, most people think of some new age concepts of various kind.In the Yoga tradition of India and Tibet the third eye is actually a reference to one of the chakras in the human being. The chakras are centers of force, where the human being can accumulate and transmit energy from and to the universe. (for further details about the chakras look at: Agama Yoga school)
Ajna, (Sanskrit for 'command') is the Chakra which is situated in the middle of the forehead of the human being. It is a center of force which corresponds to the mental levels of man and which serves as the command center. By practicing on developing Ajna Chakra the human being can grow spiritually and develop in amazing ways.
Actually, Ajna chakra is much more than that. it is a door way to another universe, so to speak. When the human being starts practicing the esoteric yoga techniques and disciplines for the development of Ajna Chakra, he or she will dive into the realm of pure mental dimensions that the average person does not even suspect possible.
It starts with the increase of intelligence and an increase in the ability of perception of the mind. And the more you practice the more it increases. The practice is usually focused on concentration techniques. The yogis teach us that the mind by it's nature is very turbulent and dynamic, and that makes for the problem. Because it negates the ability to focus it and thus gain the results above mentioned. Therefore all mind culture starts from simple techniques of concentration of the mind.That's it for now, for more info. please check out the Agama Yoga courses in Thailand and around the world. Soon more will be posted and we'll dive deeper into the fascinating world of Ajna Chakra.
