Ajna Basti

Ajna Basti offers mental clarity and sensory revitalization. Ajna Chakra, Ajna Marma, or ‘Third Eye’ governs perception, intuition, insight, and awareness. This treatment can be used to deepen meditation, enhance focus, and harmonize the right-left hemispheres of the brain.

A dough dam is placed in the center of the forehead, over Ajna Marma. Warm, herbal oils are held to soothe and nourish the brain for up to 25 minutes, replacing oil as needed.

Benefits include:

• Balance mental energy, clarity, emotional processing
• Relieves mental dullness or agitation
• Restores a clear, luminous state of consciousness (Sattva)
• Alleviates vascular congestion, headaches, sinus tension, eye strain
• Offers to lift burdens from the mind
• Supports hormonal harmony, nourishing the hypothalmus and pituitary glands

Precaution: Avoid or postpone if there is a sinus infection or cold, high fever or headache, open skin irritation or wounds, or after big meal.
