Crown Chakra
Sanskrit Name:
Sahasrara
Meaning:
Thousand Petaled Lotus
Element:
The energy of this chakra allows us to experience mystical oneness with everyone and everything in nature.
There is no intellectual knowing at the level of seventh chakra, but there is serenity, joy, and deep peace about life.
Breath:
Kapalabhati Breath of Fire also called Skull Shining Breath
Activates:
The “Akasha” or “Zero Point Field”, or just “the Field”. This is the fundamental level of connection.
According to Tantric philosophy, the seventh chakra is both a receiver and giver of energy and consciousness. It receives energy to sustain life and it gives back the personal energy to unite with the collective pool of consciousness.
Endocrine gland:
Pineal gland
Physical association:
Central nervous system, cerebral cortex
Psychological function:
Awareness, understanding
Meditation:
Yoga Nidra; The Yoga of Deep Conscious rest
Mudras:
Lotus Mudra, Akasha Mudra
The physical body (and the universe) consists of 5 elements- Fire, Air, Ether or Sky, Earth, and Water. A  Mudra connects the brain to the body and as a consequence, life force energy or prana begins to flow through. The four fingers and the single thumb represent these building blocks of the universe known as the “Panchamahabhutas.” Reflexes can be stimulated by actions like pressing the hand, curling, touching and pointing different fingers. According to the philosophy of Hasta Mudra, diseases are blockages or limitations in the balance of the 5 elements. The four fingers and the thumb correspond to each of these elements:
  • Thumb- Fire (Agni)
  • Index Finger- Air(Vayu)
  • Middle Finger- Ether/Sky (Akasha)
  • Ring Finger: Earth (Prithvi)
  • Small Finger- Water (Jala)
Bij Mantra:
Ahhh, ngngng
Color:
Violet or white, the Violet flame
Crystals:
Clear and Charged Quartz Crystals, Rainbow Fluorite Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Amethyst. Some higher vibration corals.

 

 

Feeding Your Crown Chakra

 

Theme: Opening and Clearing,  Spirituality, Higher Consciousness

 

Affirmation: I UNDERSTAND
  • None of the five elements are associated therefore the most effective way to utilize the body to connect to Sahasrara is by fasting, cleansing, detoxing with intention
  • Setting a Sankalpa: This means setting an intention formed by the heart and mind. It is a private and solemn vow and incorporates determination, commitment of a time period and strength of will. In practical terms a Sankalpa means a one-pointed resolve to focus both psychologically and philosophically on a specific goal. A sankalpa is a tool meant to harness the will, and to focus and harmonize mind and body.
  • Incense and Smudging Herbs: White Mountain sage, copal, myrrh, juniper, natural tobacco, Palo Santo
  • Amber resin, frankincense resin, copal resin, burn on a charcoal in a shell or in a resin burner.
  • Incense and smudging herbs are ritually inhaled through the nostrils or some can be smoked through a ceremonial pipe for purification purposes. The resins are burned in a puja offering.
  • Open sea shells are ceremonial tools for containing the puja offering of fire and incense. This also brings in the element of water to the ceremony of fire, puja.
  • The transmutation process of burning is released as  a gift or offering to Spirit~ SWAHA!
