7th Chakra; CROWN

Description

THE SEVENTH CHAKRA is your connection to your spiritual nature and the Divine, where you allow spirituality to become a part of your physical life. Organs associated with the Seventh Chakra include any organ of your system. Spiritual and emotional issues that can block energy in the Seventh Chakra are struggles with a clear sense of life’s purpose and trusting that life has a purpose that may not be learned, or understanding the paradox that an individual can influence her life events and also trust that things happen as forces of circumstance. Physical dysfunctions that can occur are: cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, and any life-threatening illness or accident that serves as a wake-up call.

The crown chakra is the seventh chakra and it is at the top of the “chakra ladder” which starts from the root chakra that grounds us on the Earth and progresses upward to the Sahasrara which connects us with the universe and the Divine source of creation.
Sahasrara is located at the crown of the head. The gift of this chakra is experiencing unity and the selfless realization that everything is connected at a fundamental level.
The energy of this chakra allows us to experience mystical oneness with everyone and everything in nature.

There is no intellectual knowing at the level of seventh chakra, but there is serenity, joy, and deep peace about life.

You have a sense of knowing that there is a deeper meaning of life and that there is an order that underlies all of existence.

The “way of the crown chakra” is the way of going beyond the limits of your own ego. It is the way of transcending the ego and knowing that all of creation is interconnected at a fundamental level.

A level that some call the “Akasha” or “Zero Point Field”, or just “the Field”. This is the fundamental level of connection.

According to Tantric philosophy, the seventh chakra is both a receiver and giver of energy and consciousness. It receives energy to sustain life and it gives back the personal energy to unite with the collective pool of consciousness.
It is the meeting point between finite (the body and the ego) and infinite (the universe and soul).

It is the place where time and timelessness intersect and where death and eternal life meet.

The thousand petal chakra embraces an attitude of gratitude for one’s life.

When we realize that everything is interconnected and that we are part of the larger scheme of life, we begin to live with gratitude, faith and trust, rather than filled with fear and anxiety.

We are guided by the higher power and we feel divinity from within and from without.

The challenge of this chakra is to liberate the spirit – open to the divine – and at the same time stay firmly rooted deep in the ground.
