🔮 Exploring Ajna Using the Kalesvara Mudra
Intuition • Mental Clarity • Focus
A Moment for the Chakra
The Third Eye Chakra, located just between your eyes, is often associated with magic. Many expect to have visions “or psychic experiences when focusing on this chakra. The thing is, almost everyone has these experiences. In the routine, everyday world, these events are relegated to hunches, coincidences, or luck. It is possible to elevate everyday mundane occurrences to experiences that not only look magical but feel magical as well. It is simply a matter of focus, awareness, and yes, the most mundane thing of all – practice.

🔮 The Kalesvara Mudra
This gesture increases the flow of energy through the arms, up through the base of the throat and connects to the third eye. There are many ways to perform this gesture, each one impacting the chi differently. In the routine world some say it will help with procrastination, others say it will aid in dropping bad habits. Over time, with focus and attention you may find that your intuition will become stronger and your life generally more synchronistic in nature.

🔮 How to Form the Mudra:
Place the tips of your index fingers together
Extend your thumbs downward, tips touching
Bend the rest of your fingers at the knuckles and press together
The knuckles will be touching, and the fingers will line up naturally, allowing them to remain touching
🔮 Ajna Chakra Transformative Experiences Happen
You may place this position in the middle of your body, at the chin or between eyes. Feel free to play with these choices and notice how it affects the sensations in your body. I find this mudra to be surprisingly powerful. Just holding this position in front of the heart, can produce a sensation of well-being in less than a minute. The gesture can be held with the thumbs in front of the mouth and nose, or with the thumbs in front of the third eye.
🔮 Reflection Prompt
Because Ajna is associated with intuition and foresight, there is a natural connection to dreams and dreaming.
This reflection prompt is more of a practice. We’ll use it with journaling and here’s why.
Every night as your head hits the pillow and your eyes close for the final time before falling into a deep, peaceful sleep, give yourself the suggestion:
I will become aware in my dreams.
At some point you will become conscious of yourself dreaming and “wake up.” You’ll feel as alert and conscious as you do in your waking life. It might happen on the first night, or it might be a while to get there.
Upon waking in the morning, f if you do “wake up” in your dream, try to capture as much of the dream as you can. You may need to keep a reading lamp next to your bed – or you might just use Notes on your phone. Whatever works for you. If you go back to your journal to read your notes, over time, you may find some surprising patterns.
🔮 Portable Practice (1–5 minutes)
A tiny, take‑anywhere version of the mudra.
Begin by finding a comfortable position. Whatever works for you in the moment. Breathe in deeply for a count of 4, then breathe out for a count of six. Let your breathing continue in a normal relaxed manner for this exercise, form the mudra
Place the tips of your index fingers together. Extend your thumbs downward, tips touching. Bend the rest of your fingers at the knuckles and press together. Fingers lining up naturally, allowing them to remain together
Raise the gesture to the area that feels like it needs attention or is an area of curiosity.
Breathe down to your belly for a count of four and breathe out for a count of six. Imagine an indigo light glowing between your eyes.
Repeat at least two more times, and when you are ready simply let your breathing return to normal, gently take in your surroundings, savoring this moment of well-being until you are ready to continue with your day.
🔮 Thirty Minute Meditation — Kalesvara Mudra (Third Eye / Ajna)
Feel free to play with this meditation, make adjustments, add music, or not. Enjoy
Assume a comfortable position and let your body settle into the shape it naturally wants to take. Feel the weight of your hips, the length of your spine, the gentle rise and fall of your breath. Nothing to fix. Nothing to manage. Just the soft landing of your awareness into your own body.
When you’re ready, bring your hands into Kalesvara Mudra. Let the tips of your index fingers meet. Extend your thumbs downward until they touch. Bend the remaining fingers at the knuckles and allow them to rest against each other, forming a quiet, contained shape. Notice the warmth where the fingers meet. Notice the subtle current that begins to gather in the palms. Let your elbows widen slightly so the gesture feels natural, not forced. Hold the mudra lightly, as if it were a small flame cupped between your hands.
Return your attention to your breath. Inhale through your nose for a count of four… and exhale through your mouth for a count of six. Let the exhale be long and unhurried, like a slow release. Inhale for four… exhale for six. Feel the breath lengthen the space inside your chest. Feel the mudra steady the space inside your mind. Continue this rhythm, letting each exhale soften the edges of your thoughts.
Allow your breath to return to its natural pace. Bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows, the quiet center of the forehead. Imagine a deep indigo light beginning to glow there — cool, steady, and luminous. With each inhale, the light brightens slightly. With each exhale, it spreads gently inward, filling the mind with clarity and spaciousness. See this indigo glow as a calm sky at dusk, a place where insight rises without effort. Let the light move through the throat, softening the inner voice, and then back up to the third eye, clearing the inner screen. Rest in this glow. Let it show you nothing and everything at once.
When you feel complete, slowly release the mudra. Let your hands rest wherever they naturally fall — on your lap, beside you, or over your heart. Take a few easy breaths. Notice the afterglow in your palms, the steadiness in your chest, the quiet in your mind. Let the indigo light fade into a soft, spacious awareness. Offer yourself a gentle closing: may clarity come in its own time, may insight rise without force, and may I move through the rest of my day with ease.
Namaste, carry this peace with you as you return to your day.
