Ajna, 2025

Darina Komorowski  

The painting reveals the idea of the sixth chakra — the “third eye" chakra — which, after all, exists deep inside each of us, since the Ajna chakra is the chakra of inner vision.
At the level of its development, a person stops living from the mind and begins to move according to inner sensations, relying on trust in their feelings and the ability to recognize them.
An open Ajna means that the orientation is always toward the inner compasses, which are not disturbed by the external noise.

I remember once Nargiz asked what I think about intuition. Well, for me, intuition is not mystical knowledge, but about a developed understanding of one's own personality, psychological stability, a kind of stage in the evolution of a person toward the ability to hear oneself and the world, to notice changes outside and pay attention to them.
I resonate with the concept of the world in which we all move from the base to the nuances — and, starting from the instincts of survival, we move toward self-actualization and the knowledge of “who I am and what is good for me."

I enjoy noticing how many concepts of our world intertwine, how the foundations of psychology, religion, physiology, psychosomatics, and so on, complement and support each other.
For example, from the point of view of chakras, we once again remind ourselves that energy begins its movement from the bottom up — from the spine to the head, from the earth to the sky — with the importance of each step.
And the chakras are arranged in the same sequence, paving the path of the soul's development through the experience of the body — from the infant to the concept of a healthy adult, from “I exist and it is safe" to “I exist and it is good."

Then, of course, the energy goes from top to bottom and in a circular way, but that is already quite an understandable story, and my stream of consciousness should come to an end.
But what is important — for me, this series of paintings is about respect and acceptance for everything that exists and has existed, especially about the fact that everything you feel — is right.
