EXPLORING THE CHAKRAS sahasara
The crown chakra, also known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit, is the seventh and final primary chakra in the human energy system. Located at the top of the head, it is associated with spiritual connection, higher consciousness, and transcendence. The crown chakra is often depicted as a thousand-petaled lotus flower or a radiant white or violet light.
When the crown chakra is open and balanced, it allows for a profound sense of unity with the universe and the divine. Individuals with an open crown chakra experience a deep connection to their spiritual essence, a heightened sense of purpose, and a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. They may feel a constant flow of inspiration, spiritual wisdom, and clarity of mind. This state of openness and balance in the crown chakra allows one to experience moments of bliss, deep inner peace, and a profound sense of oneness.
When the crown chakra is blocked or imbalanced, various issues can happen like a feeling of disconnection from spirituality and a lack of purpose or meaning in life. Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, confusion, and a loss of direction. They may find it challenging to tap into their intuition or access higher states of consciousness. Additionally, an overactive crown chakra can lead to an excessive absorbtion with spiritual matters, making it difficult to ground them self in practical reality and a feeling of being disconnected from oneself and the world.
To bring balance to the crown chakra, various practices can be helpful. Meditation, prayer, mindfulness, and contemplation are effective ways to open and activate the crown chakra. Engaging in spiritual practices that resonate with an individual's belief system can also support the harmonisation of this energy center. Additionally, spending time in nature, practicing gratitude, and seeking moments of silence and stillness can facilitate the opening of the crown chakra and the alignment of the entire energy system.
