The Third Eye

Sat Nam, welcome in.

The sixth chakra — as Mike and I understand it through the lens of Hindu philosophy — is the Ajna Chakra, also called the Guru Chakra.Guru: that which moves us from darkness into light.

With your two eyes, you see what’s directly in front of you, right here and now.With your third eye, you perceive more — the threads of the past and the quiet hints of what’s to come. This chakra is the seat of intuition.

The Voice That Guides

Intuition speaks in simple, practical ways. It might whisper:

• “Don’t run over there. It will change your current path and waste precious time.”

• “Have lunch with her. She has something to say you need to hear.”

• “Take this course — it’s going to change your life.”

• “Be still today.”

• “Follow every rule of the road — don’t speed, full stops, no running yellows.”

• “Watch this movie, not that one.”

• “Listen to this conversation. There’s a message for you.”

• “Feel your irritation fully, but don’t interrupt. Let it go.”

• “Step in now. Help this person.”

• “This energy doesn’t feel right — move on.”

• “Do the favor.”

• “Believe what you’re seeing, not just what you already believe.”

  
  

And so on.

The True Self Speaks Quietly

There are plenty of complex, intellectual explanations of Ajna out there — and by all means, read them. But for me, this chakra is simply about listening to that part of yourself that knows.

Not the ego. Not the personality.The True Self.

Listen. Trust. Abide.

We talk to ourselves all day long. Every tiny choice — even orange juice or tomato juice at breakfast — is accompanied by a quiet inner conversation. Most of us ignore it, brush it off as mental noise.

But if you start listening carefully — really listening — you begin to notice that still, small voice.

Follow the Voice

• Don’t run over there. Let them come to you.

• Drive with complete mindfulness when the voice says, slow down.

• Walk away from that person or situation that suddenly feels “off.”

• Turn your ears toward the conversation behind you… or away… when intuition nudges you.

• 
  

You may never know exactly what you’ve avoided by listening to your intuition — but you may notice your “bad luck” lessening, your stress easing, your days unfolding with less drama and more quiet synchronicity.

A small interaction may return days later as something significant.A TV show you felt drawn to might carry a message.A passing conversation might shape your next step.

This is the chakra that often stirs awake just before a deeper awakening — when a person steps closer to their Truth.

How to Strengthen the Third Eye

There’s no shortcut here — each of us has our own path through the chakras.But practices that cultivate stillness and awareness can help awaken intuition and attune the ego to the True Self.

Kundalini Yoga is especially powerful for this.Through meditation, asana, pranayama, and mudra, the fog of mental chatter begins to clear — and the Third Eye begins to speak more clearly.

Come to class. Find out more about yourself. The voice is already speaking. All that’s left is to listen.

Sat Nam, and thanks for tuning in.— Andrea Fiondo
