On a indigo ground, the embroidered symbol of the 6th chakra, the Ajna, appears – a meaningful yet calm decoration in the meditation corner. The cushion lifts the pelvis so the spine keeps its natural curve, keeping quiet sitting comfortable for longer.
The Ajna in tradition
The yoga and tantra tradition recognises seven main chakras, subtle energy centres along the line of the spine. The Ajna is, in this tradition, said to belong to the brow, between the eyebrows. It is known as the centre of intuition, insight and clear seeing; tradition links it to alert attention and inner vision. These ideas belong to the tradition of the chakra system and offer themes for inward attention and meditation.
