Kavvanah brow focus
Third-eye region — directed ascent attention
The brow marks directed kavvanah, the intentional focus that keeps the ascent oriented toward its target rather than toward distraction. This third-eye-region placement is a modern attention aid informed by Jewish letter and meditation commentary, not an anatomical claim made by Hekhalot authors.
