Ajna chakra is also known as  the Blue Pearl , or the third eye.  Ajna means to know or follow, hence is the seat of command center of the entire subtle body system. This chakra is located between and slightly above the eyebrows, is associated with the pineal gland, which evidently begins to shut down in almost everyone when children growup at about  9 or 10 years.   

            It is a belief that activating this center helps in purifying the mind and helps one to prepare themselves to awaken their entire energy system by understanding the self for which  many esoteric and meditation practices  emphasize attention on this 3rd eye. A series of spiritual events have been attributed to this chakra, especially flashes of great light, falling into light or bliss, visions, profound stillness, and psychic revelations. It is at this transformational opening one glimpses of the  reality of the true nature of self leading to changes in  personal identities and gradually detached from the senses.  As energy moves upward from here, the subtle body may rise or sink into states of samadhi, and you may feel merged with the universe, knowing in awareness the bliss of being the cosmos.

            However, the opening of Ajna does not mean the end of the energy process.  It generally sends energy back down through the lower chakras to further clear deep-seated conditions and toxins and to strengthen the system.  If you have done no preparatory work, and have chakras that have not yet opened fully, the entire kundalini process may activate and bring out personal and collective unconscious material.  This is one of the reasons that spiritual traditions have emphasized the need for a guru or guide to help you through this process.
