Understanding the Ajna Center

The Ajna Center is the awareness center responsible for conceptualization, opinions, and mental processing. Located between the Head and Throat centers, it receives the pressure of questions from above and works to formulate answers, concepts, and beliefs. The Ajna is where we process information, form opinions, and make sense of the world. When defined, you have a consistent and reliable way of thinking and conceptualizing. When undefined, your thinking is flexible and adaptive — you can see multiple perspectives and are not attached to any single viewpoint.

Function in the Bodygraph

Awareness center — conceptualization, opinions, and mental processing. The Ajna Center contains 6 gates: Gate 4, Gate 11, Gate 17, Gate 24, Gate 43, Gate 47. These gates connect to other centers through 6 channels, forming the energetic architecture of your unique design.

Defined vs. Undefined Ajna Center

Defined Ajna Center: When this center is colored in your bodygraph, you have consistent, reliable access to its energy. For the Ajna Center, this means you operate with a fixed and dependable way of processing this aspect of your design. You are here to express this energy consistently and authentically.

Undefined Ajna Center: When this center is white in your bodygraph, you do not have consistent access to its energy. Instead, you amplify and experience this energy through others. Your wisdom lies in becoming deeply aware of how this energy moves through you from external sources, and learning not to identify with it as your own. This makes you incredibly wise about the Ajna Center's themes.
