The sixth Chakra is also called ”Ajna”, which means ”perception” in Sanskrit. This point is perhaps more commonly known as the ”Third Eye”, the center of perception, vision, and intuition.

What are ‘Chakras’? The word “Chakra” means “wheel” in Sanskrit, and the Chakras themselves can be thought of as energy centers in the body through which the life force (also called prana, chi, or ki) flows.
