7: The Crown Chakra

 

 

The crown chakra has to do with the superconscious mind, the soul, the Higher Self, the Monad and/or God. It is truly our gate to bring through the higher energies. The color most often associated with this chakra is white light, or a rainbow speckled white light. The gland associated with this chakra is the pineal.

FEELINGS, ENERGETICS AND MENTALITY OF THE CROWN CHAKRA
For most of us, this will be spirituality at the highest level, connection to the godhead and the divine. To God (or your equivalent belief), if you like.

This is the chakra that helps you to connect with the Godhead, be that Yahweh, Buddha, Shiva, the Universe… whomever you construe the superior being to be. It is a connection with the cosmos, to universal love and the creator.

The white of the crown encapsulates all colors of the other chakras, its light undisturbed and pure. Its name Sahasrara means “a thousand” or “infinite”, denoting the large number of petals reaching out into the universe and connecting us to the ethereal web of existence.

In its serene open state, Sahasrara represents the full blossoming of consciousness. Some believe we have the freedom to experience these third dimensional chakras as we wish. They belong to this physical body and this lifetime, and form the greatest connection to our inner self, that part that perhaps only we will ever know.

For a small number of seekers though, that will not be enough. They will wish to transcend this physical experience and branch out from this three-dimensional body and experience more through different times, spaces and realities.

Whilst these states can only be accessed through the outer chakras, the gateways will remain closed until complete mastery of the emotional, mental and physical bodies have been achieved through control of all the third dimensional chakras from root to crown.

Here resides our spiritual nature. Only through consistent attention both to how we interact with the universe at large, and learning to listen, hear and integrate the messages, can we hope to attain access to the outer worlds.
