Chinese Astrology Signs & Compatibility

The crown or sahasrara chakra is located at or just above the crown of the head, and is often represented in religious art and iconography as light radiating out of the head or as a halo. Pure white light infused with love and infinite intelligence is characteristic of the energy associated with the crown chakra. This light appears in almost every culture known to man. While few people ever have a direct experience of the union with Divine energy that is the primary purpose of this chakra, all people have a connection to the divine through the crown chakra. Problems at the crown chakra show up emotionally as lack of trust, difficulty finding meaning in life or personal identity, difficulty with spiritual issues, trouble living in the present, and problems finding inspiration or good values. Physical illnesses associated with crown chakra blockages include sensitivity to light and/or sound, chronic exhaustion with no apparent physical cause, diseases of the muscular system, diseases of the skeletal system, and diseases of the skin. One of the best ways to activate and balance the crown chakra is to begin and maintain a regular meditation practice. Prayer is also helpful, and so is the regular practice of yoga. Anything that helps to connect a person to Divine energy will help open the crown chakra and heal illnesses associated with it.

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.
