Term: third eye chakra

DEFINITIONS

Third Eye Chakra: One of the power centers found in spiritual traditions with a source in the Indian subcontinent. The Heart Chakra (Ajna in Sanskrit), also called the �Brow Chakra,� is physically associated with the area between the eyebrows. Some people mistakenly place it in the center of the forehead. When this chakra is overcharged or undercharged with spiritual energy, it implies that you are dealing with issues or consciousness and having the ability to spiritually �see� things. It is symbolized by a lotus flower that has two petals.Donald Michael Kraig
