What is the Third Eye?

The Third Eye Chakra is the sixth chakra and is associated with intuition and imagination. The Sanskrit meaning is "knowledge" which refers to our inner wisdom.

When working with the third eye, I typically find that this is the area that holds the key as to how connected you feel to yourself and your intuition.
