Jaggi Vasudev, popularly known as Sadhguru, is a spiritual leader like none other. He is interactive, he is logical, intuitive and intellectual, and he talks the language of the ordinary man. From his speeches to his interactions, Sadhguru has influenced people and made them a better person. From his initiatives to conserve Mother Earth to the teachings in Isha Foundation, engaging with Sadhguru is truly bliss.
And sometime back Sadhguru talked about the importance and powers of the Ajna chakra, popular as the Third-Eye chakra, and how focusing and channeling its energy can give people a clear picture of things happening around the Universe.
What are Chakras?
In popular belief, Chakras are the energy channels, or ‘Nadis’ of our body. The Chakras are located along the spine, starting with the Root chakra, and as we go up, the Crown chakra at the top. And just below the Crown chakra, is the Ajna chakra, famous as the Third Eye chakra.
It is believed that the Third eye chakra is the one responsible for a person’s intuition, perception, and higher intelligence.
It is located just between the eyebrows, right where the Third eye is depicted in Lord Shiva, and is said to make people more aware, have better insights, be full of wisdom, and much more.
When activated, the Ajna Chakra gives people a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them, and their power to know things (intuition) is much better and more than a common, ordinary man.
The power of Ajna chakra
In one of his videos, Sadhguru can be heard saying that when the Ajna chakra is consciously activated, it allows people to access different levels of perception.
He says “If one gently pushes the Ajna Chakra outward by 9 inches, it reduces unnecessary mental chatter”. Sadhguru explains that this leads to a peaceful and calm state of mind, and many practitioners can experience increased calmness and clarity in their life.
Building onto that, Sadhguru also explains that when a person pushes out their Ajna chakra even more, about 12 inches, they can without a sweat or worry perceive the minds and intentions of other people. The intuition power, the power to understand, and the power to know if someone is truthful or not, or is actually thinking what they are saying, and the likes, can be improved with this chakra.
Sadhguru then says that when a person expands their Ajna chakra to 15 inches, they can even be aware of the major planetary and cosmic shifts. Sadhguru says “if you push this out 15 inches you will know of significant events anywhere it is from this. You will see many yogis and sages and seers predict that at this time a comet will happen, a major comet will come which can cause this kind of influence over the planet. Many sages and yogis have predicted celestial events such as comets and planetary movements using this ability.”
And for the ultimate relief from everything there is in the Universe, Sadhguru says that if a person activates their Ajna chakra to 21, their consciousness becomes cosmic, and they reach the highest level of enlightenment.
Sadhguru explains that at this stage, life and death are no longer accidental; one can leave the body at will (the concept of Mahasamadhi), and a person who can push out their Ajna to 21 inches is the supreme enlightened being whose purpose in life is truly fulfilled.
How to ‘push out’ the Ajna chakra
Now some people might be confused about the ‘pushing out’ phrase that Sadhguru uses repeatedly. Pushing out the Ajna chakra means activating the chakra, or the Third Eye abilities, and it helps people tremendously in life.
One of the easiest ways, according to people, for the ordinary to tap into their initial Ajna chakra energy is to close their eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm the mind. Then, start with focusing your attention right in the middle of your forehead, just between the eyebrows, and then imagine a bright light at this point.
Then think about the light expanding and growing brighter. And while it might be a little straining in the initial days, overtime, your ability to maintain the light will increase overtime.
