A Reflective Journey with the Ajna Chakra: Last Yoga Session of 2024

Writer's picture: Ludmila ParekhLudmila Parekh

This past Friday, we gathered for a session focused on harnessing the energy of the Ajna Chakra, also known as the Third Eye Chakra. It allowed us to explore deeper intuition, determination, and perspective layers. As always, the aim was to foster a sense of balance—mind, body, and spirit.


What We Experienced Together?

Connecting with Inner Wisdom and Clarity

The Ajna Chakra is a powerful center of perception, guiding us to trust our inner wisdom and tap into our higher consciousness. During the session, we delved into practices designed to enhance clarity and sharpen focus. Through deep breathing techniques and mindful movement, we invited the flow of insight to emerge naturally.


Breathing Techniques

We began the session with a combination of alternate nostril breathing and Kapalabhati (skull-shining breath), two practices that are known for their ability to calm the mind while energizing the body. Alternate nostril breathing helps clear energetic blockages and restore balance, while Kapalabhati stimulates the digestive system and clears the mind, setting the tone for deeper concentration and awareness.


Dynamic and Static Poses

The physical part of our practice involved both dynamic and static poses, each carefully chosen to support the energy of the Ajna Chakra. Seated twists helped us release tension in the spine, while Tree Pose grounded us, encouraging focus and stability. Sun Salutations provided a flowing sequence to awaken the body and mind, leading us seamlessly into a deeper state of self-awareness. *


Deep Relaxation and Meditation on the Ajna Chakra in Savasana

A key part of the session was the relaxation and meditation on the Ajna Chakra. We used this time to close our eyes, quiet our minds, and turn inward, allowing ourselves to tap into the wisdom of the Third Eye, helping each practitioner access their intuition more clearly, fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and understanding. After the dynamic flow, settling into Savasana, a deeply restorative pose where the body absorbs the benefits of the practice, we allowed ourselves to let go of any remaining tension and to realign our energy, leaving the session with a renewed sense of balance and clarity.


A Warm and Inclusive Environment

One of the most beautiful aspects of the session was the welcoming environment we created together. Whether students or seasoned practitioners, everyone was encouraged to participate at their own pace. Yoga is not a competition—it's a journey inward, and everyone’s experience is valid. The atmosphere was warm, open, and full of shared energy, allowing us to learn not just from the practice, but from one another.


The spirit of shared practice truly embodies the essence of yoga.


Join Us Again I’m already looking forward to our next session together, where we can continue our journey of self-exploration, mindfulness, and connection. Whether you're new to yoga or a long-time practitioner, there’s always room for growth and transformation on the mat. Looking forward to practicing together again soon.


Namaste
