The seven chakras within the physique are symbolized by the petals of a lotus flower. The whole opening of all of the petals achieves an awakening and steadiness of physique, thoughts, and spirit. The sahasrara chakra (the seventh and closing chakra) is the chakra that prompts this divine common power.
The Sanskrit phrase, Sahasrara, means ‘thousand’ or ‘infinite’. The sahasrara chakra is positioned on the high of the pinnacle and is also called the crown chakra. It’s the place the place our particular person consciousness merges with the common consciousness.
It creates a powerful reference to the supreme self, and is believed to affect mind features similar to reminiscence, intelligence, and sharp focus.
A Balanced Crown Chakra (Sahasrasa)
It’s stated that when the seventh chakra prompts, it brings a extra optimistic outlook on life. When in steadiness, it brings non secular understanding, a way of acutely aware connection and deep peace. When this chakra is unbalanced, nevertheless, we could expertise disillusionment, disconnection, and restlessness.
I used to be teaching a woman final yr who felt like she had misplaced connection along with her highest self, or with a bigger presence. She didn’t imagine in God, or at the very least our conventional understanding of Him. However she felt like she had misplaced reference to the common intelligence, out of contact with grace and with synchronicity. She defined it was like dropping the style for all times: she felt listless, disconnected, distracted, and alone. Even when she was round folks, together with family members, she felt really alone.
We labored collectively on meditations that work on the seventh chakra, with the third eye centered on the high of the pinnacle. She began a follow of aura sweeps, 54 instances a day, and that helped her so much. She dedicated to doing the meditation and aura sweeps each morning for 40 days, and with that devoted follow, she really grew to become a modified individual. It was so stunning to see her come alive once more: to witness her get her spark again, and see the sunshine in her eyes as soon as once more.
She stated it felt like she had had a heavy cloak over her head and eyes, and it had been lifted. She began to confide in synchronicity once more, and will really feel grace round her, particularly when she hiked in nature, or when she took time to watch kids and infants. She felt hope for the longer term as soon as once more.
She was proof that by way of consciousness, effort and follow, we are able to really come alive once more—even when life had felt so dim, darkish and hopeless, beforehand.
