Ajna is the site of intuitive wisdom. This chakra may be associated with the pituitary gland. When this chakra is balanced, one intuitively understands the nature and truth of reality. It is often said to be a vibrant violet in color. When the coiled serpent of kundalini energy is moved upward from the base of the spine and unites with this chakra, then all duality is banished and the yogi exists in deep connection with all that is.
