The Susie Zone - The Crown Chakra (September 2017)


Understanding and Working with Your Crown Chakra (Lotus Sahasrara)
The spiritual gateway centre. It is the seat of the soul. This centre filters soul energy, a.k.a. Prana.

The Crown ChakraThe Crown Chakra (top of your head - higher self) is appropriately named. The seventh and final energy centre is located at the crown of your head. This is sometimes referred to as the Thousand Petal Lotus Chakra and is the centre of enlightenment. The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara in Sanskrit) connects you to the universe as well as creation's divinity.

Seventh Chakra – Spiritual connection, beliefs, understanding, thought, and awareness. This is the crown chakra that relates to consciousness as pure awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this chakra brings us knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.

Violet or white are the colours associated with this seventh energy centre. This energy core is physically associated with your cerebral cortex and central nervous system. Psychologically, it connects with your awareness and understanding. In Tantric teachings, the Crown Chakra helps you give and receive consciousness as well as energy.

You receive energy in order to live, returning your unique personal energy so that you may connect with the worldwide collection of consciousness. When this chakra is clear and open, you understand that you are a part of a very important life process. You understand that though you are small, your contribution is vitally important to humankind.

When you realize this sense of connectivity to global consciousness you learn to be grateful and trusting. A healthy crown chakra develops your spirit of the divine without removing you from your firm base to the earth that your root chakra gives you.
