Awakening Your Sahasrara or Crown Chakra
Your crown chakra is located at the very crown of your head or just above it. The crown, or Sahasrara chakra, is the highest of all the chakras and the one from which all the others emanate. The crown chakra governs union with the Divine, and is often represented in religious iconography as a halo. In the practice of kundalini yoga, the energy serpent is released from the base or root chakra and then consciously moved through all seven chakras for the expressed purpose of union with the Divine, or ’samadhi’ as it is called in the yogic tradition. Anything associated with prayer or meditation will activate and awaken your crown chakra. This chakra is associated with pure light. The element most closely associated with the crown chakra is the diamond. Few people ever experience direct union with God in a lifetime, which isn’t to say you shouldn’t strive for this, but it does mean you should be patient with yourself and realistic. Simply feeding your spirituality with any meditations, prayers, readings, or practices that keep you centered in the NOW will activate your crown chakra. Anything that puts you in the realm of pure experience such as a walk in nature or a silent retreat will keep you in touch with this higher part of yourself. An activated crown chakra enables you to see the unity in all things, God in all things, and God in your higher Self.
