This space between the brows is the home of the Ājñā cakra, often translated as “perception.” It is the center of insight and awareness, associated with our ability to witness rather than react—to step back from the immediacy of experience and sense into a deeper layer of knowing to discern our own truth. If the lower cakras orient us to safety, feeling, action, and expression, Ājñā invites us into integration. To begin to see patterns, to hold multiple perspectives and to ac

Safety is not something we think our way into. It ’s something we feel —or don’t—in our bodies. In yoga therapy, the root chakra , or Muladhara , i s often described as the base of support . Located at the pelvic floor and base of the spine, it relates to survival, grounding, belonging, and our most basic sense of safety in the world.
