Have some confusion about Ajna chakra/Third Eye location; Jangama dhyana involves meditating at point between eyebrows

Minor update on 27th Nov. 2022

Somehow I had come under the impression that the Ajna Chakra/Third Eye was located at point between eyebrows. Today as I did some reading/viewing up on Third Eye meditation, I saw that some say the Third Eye/Ajna chakra is located in center of forehead vertically above the 'between the eyebrows' point. In other words, it is a little higher up from the 'between the eyebrows' point.

But some others say it is at the 'between the eyebrows' point! 

I had referred to this 'Third Eye' in a previous post I had put up on meditation when I was presuming it is at the 'between the eyebrows' point. I now have modified that post to remove the 'Third Eye' reference.

As I was looking up info. on this matter, I came across the term 'Jangama dhyana' which involves meditating on point between eyebrows. Let me share some info. from its wiki page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jangama_dhyana :

Jangama dhyana is an ancient meditation technique which involves concentrating the mind and sight between the eyebrows. According to Patanjali, this is one method of achieving the initial concentration (dharana: Yoga Sutras, III: 1) necessary for the mind to go introverted in meditation (dhyana: Yoga Sutras, III: 2). In the deeper practice of the Jangama dhyana technique, the mind concentrated between the eyebrows begins to automatically lose all location and focus on the watching itself. Eventually, the meditator experiences only the consciousness of existence and achieves Self Realization. Swami Vivekananda describes the process in the following way:

When the mind has been trained to remain fixed on a certain internal or external location, there comes to it the power of flowing in an unbroken current, as it were, towards that point. This state is called dhyana. When one has so intensified the power of dhyana as to be able to reject the external part of perception and remain meditating only on the internal part, the meaning, that state is called Samadhi.[1]

The point between the eyebrows is referred to as the bhrikuti and symbolically as the ajna chakra, which means 'commanding circle.' When the mind becomes totally concentrated at this point, one becomes the commander of one's mind. Until then, the meditator will not have achieved self-mastery.

--- end wiki extract ---

Note that above extract states that ajna chakra is located at "point between the eyebrows". But that is not in agreement with Third Eye wiki page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_eye , which states, "the third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows".

As mentioned earlier, I have modified my earlier post on meditation to remove 'Third Eye' reference. I also have not brought in this term of 'Jangama dhyana'. Instead I have tried to describe the area on which I meditate, as follows:

"At times, instead of meditating on Awareness-I directly, with eyes closed I meditate on what I sense when 'seeing' forward which is roughly the area from between my eyebrows to center of nose, and try to merge into that."
