The Third Eye Chakra (Ajna), located between the eyebrows, governs intuition, insight, imagination, and inner wisdom. When blocked or imbalanced, it can manifest as confusion, difficulty making decisions, lack of clarity, or disconnection from intuition.
Through MAITRIAMA, working with the Third Eye Chakra involves recognizing Ama—unprocessed thoughts, beliefs, and energetic residues—and transforming it with awareness, intention, and loving-kindness (Maitri).
Step 1: Internal Current – Awareness of Third Eye Chakra Ama
- Observe mental patterns: Notice repetitive or negative thought loops, indecision, or overthinking.
- Identify intuition blocks: Recognize when you ignore inner guidance or dismiss intuitive insights.
- Tune into bodily sensations: Feel for tension in the forehead, temples, or the back of the head.
- Practice: Meditation, journaling, or mindfulness practices to identify unprocessed mental Ama and habitual thought patterns.
Step 2: External Current – Recognizing Environmental and Relational Ama
- Notice external influences: Are there people, media, or environments that cloud your judgment or promote doubt?
- Assess alignment with values: Do external circumstances support your intuition, vision, and personal insight?
- Identify recurring life patterns: Situations that challenge clarity or decision-making may signal external Ama impacting the Third Eye.
- Practice: Limit exposure to negative or confusing influences and create quiet, reflective spaces to nurture inner clarity.
Step 3: Conduit of Currents – Intention
- Set conscious intentions: “I trust my intuition and inner wisdom” or “I release mental clutter and see clearly.”
- Move energy consciously: Visualize deep indigo energy radiating from the center of your forehead, dissolving mental Ama and enhancing insight.
- Align internal and external currents: Engage in practices that strengthen intuition and discernment.
- Practice: Meditation, visualization exercises, or mindful contemplation while focusing on clarity and insight.
Step 4: Transformation – Integrating and Strengthening Third Eye Chakra Balance
Practice: Daily reflection on moments of clarity, intuitive guidance, or mental calm, reinforcing the release of Ama.
Apply Maitri (loving-kindness): Offer compassion to yourself for past decisions, doubts, or mistrust of your intuition.
Take supportive action: Practice trusting small intuitive prompts and making conscious choices aligned with inner guidance.
Anchor energy in the body: Yoga poses like Child’s Pose, Dolphin Pose, or Forward Fold to stimulate energy flow to the third eye.
Release Ama through reflective practices: Journaling, dream analysis, or meditative visualization to integrate insight.
