'The Crown Chakra

We are at the final installment of our woo woo chakra series. Saving the best for last is such a divine idea. The Crown Chakra in Sanskrit is Sahasrara meaning Thousand Petal Lotus. The lotus rests at the top of our heads, and it connects us to a higher state of consciousness. This is where our highest self is accessed, this is where your beautiful presence is unfurled to the universe.

When our Crown Chakra is aligned we are reminded that we are part of something much greater than ourselves. We feel the presence of the Universe and all of its magic. We have an intimate knowledge of our purpose. We feel steady in this space, and like the night sky filled with shooting stars, we are expansive.

When this chakra is blocked, we may feel as if we are tending to everything and nothing at the same time. We may suffer from apathy, detached from our purpose, and we could experience greed as if nothing we do will satiate our needs. How do we unblock our Crown Chakra? We must be open and commit to mindfulness. It is important to work with the color violet, and for the Yogis in our group, a tree pose and savasana will lead to the magical avenue of opening your Crown Chakra.

The world of our subconscious and energetic fields of all living things that surround us is profound. Life truly opens up when we acknowledge both how infinite our presence is, and how interconnected we all are. When was the last moment you felt like a great mystic? Have you ever questioned your role in the Universe? If so, what steps did you take to find answers?
